STATE FOOTBALL TITLE.

There may be quite a scramble be-
fore the state professional football
title is decided this season. Just at
present the Annex of New Haven have
the best claim to the honors because
of their victory over the Chain Co.
The local eleven will be greatly
strengthened for the next game with
the Annex, however, and in the event
of Chain victory third contest will
be necessary to settle the dispute re-
garding supremacy.
The Winchesters and Washington
Glees of New Haven must also be con-
sidered in the running. The Win
chesters have the backing Of the pros
porous munition makers so no expense
has been spared in getting players.
The Glees and Annex will mingle
Thanksgiving Day. This battle may
settle the championship in the event
that the Annex beat the Chain boys
again.
