CRIPPLED FOR BULKELEY GAME
Academy Eleven Loses Both Regular Ends-Captain Gebrath and Croker Not Playing Today-E1liott Back in-the Lineup Tackle-Bulkeley Squad in Fine Shape.

| One of the games which makes or | breaks the football season for one team l or the other comes off today when the | Norwich Free Academy and the BuIke- | ley teams meet in New London. Two weeks later they come together again | in Norwich
 l Right on the eve of this important struggle, the Academy eleven has been | crippled by losing it's captain, Albert Gebrath, who plays right end, and Charlie Croker. who plays left end. Neither can play today. Captain Ge- brath has hurt in his side and has l been ordered by his doctor not to play, while Croker is laid up with rheumatism Kinney will be a sub linesnaan. Boyd and Murray from the second team will be taken along as substitutes to fill in on the ends. Elliott, who was badly cut in the face in the Stonington game a week ago. will be back in the Academy line up today, but the loss of their two reg ular ends from the Academy. eleven is likely to make a lot of difference in the strength of the team. The subs will go in to do their best, but natur- ally will not make the sterling combf nation that the regulars formed.
 BuIkeIey's Chance Now, if Ever.
 For years hope of winning the two Academy games has sprung eternal in are announcing that if they ever had chance 1t will be now, and the New London school is rallying for a great victory over the Academy. But BulAe- ley confidence in supposedly invinci- ole teams has been shattered before by the unfeeIing horde from the Acad- emy and it is likely to be again. In fact, these two high schools have had an experience very much like Yale and Harvard in football Bulkeley, like Harvard, has had it's spasm of conf 1ence and ail-over- the shouting feeling, when along came the Academy boys with the fighting Yale spirit to upset all the calculations of the team down the river. Is history to repeat itself this afternoon? In the Acad- en1y camp there is nothing but a de- termination to duplicate the record of previous years.
 FIahsrty and DonneiIy.
 For one thing, this afternoon, Bulke- Icy comes into the game at its fullest strength with a regular in every po- sition in the eleven. What Bulkeiey IS counting on this year is it's back field, said to be a wonder on speed, 1 with Donnelly, the right half. as the 1 star at fast footing for end runs Full 1 trump cards for use in line boring, l while left ha1fback Crowley and quar- 1 terback Keefe or Levine are able parts 1 Of the quartette.
