TRACK MEET AT HARTFORD

The New Haven High school five are to play the Ansonia High school team tonight at Ansonia. The local team has been playing a winning game and are confident of winning the Ansonia five. Since the Ansonia High school team surprised the local High school football team by their unexpected strength. the local basketball team are prepared for any surprise. The An sonia five have not been winning many games, and the chances are that they will have no surprise to spring on the High school team. Their whole strength lies in their center, who is considered one of the best centers of High school teams in the state He was the fullback and captain of the An sonia High school football team, and most of their victories and good show ing was due to his great playing. He :s also fine basketball player. and Cap tain Dustin, the center of the New Ha- ven High school basketball team will have his hands full to take care of him. Sake of the local team. ought to get in piece of his good work, and secure many baskets. as ought the rest of the team for the remaining four of the An sonia team are not of the best players.
 The only drawback the High school team will have. will be that they will play on very slippery floor. on which get his balance while playing.
 After the game dance will be held and the local boys will be given a fine time by the Ansonia team.
 The lineup for the team Is as fol- lows:
 N H. H. s. Ansonia H. S. Frankel .....,............. McNamara

 Dustin (capt) .................. Clark Starkweather ......... Tacash I' Right Guard
 Left Guard.

 Although there are only two mem bers; whoare ableto run on the N. H. H. S. track team, they will go up to Hartford tomorrow night, February 21, to compete in the interscholastic track meet at the armory, relay team cannot be sent up, because there are only three men left, Connolly. Con- nors and Starkweather. Therefore only two men will be entered.an they will go in the forty yard dash. These two are Connolly and Connors. two fast men, who certainly ought to make good.
 The track team If it might be called a track team has been practicing for the last week at the Yale gymnasium. It was lucky thing that the Yale au- thorities allowed them to practice, or the team would have had no place at all to. practice, and would have been unable to send anybody to Hartford This is certainly poor state of af- fairs for one of the best high schools of New England to be in. A school like this ought to be able to send up a large track team to such meet. The two men that are going up to Hart ford surely deserve great deal of credit, and are certainly displaying fine school spirit.
 It Is too bad to think that sorne good runners will be unable to com pete on account of sickness. Howard Adams and Grant Blakeslee, who are two good mile runners, and who have done good work, are prevented from running by doctors orders Fred Lehr. the manager of the team. and also a runner, will also be unable to compete. on account of doctors orders He will accompany the team to Hartford.
 The chances are that the team will remain over night, as the last train leaves Hartford for New Haven at 10:07, and Connors and Connolly will be entered about this time
