H. 1T. s. TS. MERIDEN AT YALE
 FIELD.

The Hillhouse high school and the Meriden high school football teams will meet at the Yale field Saturday, Mo- vember 6, to play in the semi-finals of the championship series of the Connect icut Interscholastic Football associa- tion.
 For several years past the support accorded high school athletics by the people of New Haven has been exceed ingly poor. Perhaps this has been caused as much by the weakness of the teams as by the lack of interest shown by the town people. This year, how ever, there is no reason why more in terest should not be manifested, as the Hillhouse team is an exceptionally strong one and, if well supported may be expected to make a strong fight for the championship of the state.
 Much enthusiasm has been aroused in Hillhouse by her signal victory over Waterbury high school last Saturday, and a large attendance is looked for on November 6, as the game between Mer- iden high school and the local high school will in all probability be the closest fought contest and the best ex- bibition of football given in this state bv scholastic teams for many years The probable lineup of Hillhouse is as follows: Left end, Benham; left tackle Hart; left guard, Ferris; center, Ad- ans: right guard, Kaerhle; right tackle Cowles; right end, Osborn or Kennedy; quarterback, Morris (captain); right half-back, Moves; left half-back, R Hart: full-back, Beecher.
