BULKELEY AND VOCATIONAL PRACTICING FOR BATTLE From the secret practice scrimmages being held by the Bulkeley and - Voca- tional football teams one ~would think that the fate ‘of the city depended upon the game next Saturday at New Lon- dén. If Vocational wins it will be cham- plon scholastic team of Eastern Con- necticut. 1f Bulkeley wins, ley will be champion. Whichever way the Goddess of victory nods her head, ‘the champlonship will rest in this city. The argument of Vocational is good. Captain Zozzorra says that Norwich trimmed Bulkeley, and that sent Bulkeley out of the running. Vocational trimmed Nor- wich, and that sent Norwich out.of the running, leaving only Vocational on the top of the pile. WILLIMANTIC KACEYS SWAMPED SPRINGFIELD (Special, to The Bulletin.)
