 Windham High School is ready for played in Norwich this (Saturday) af- ternoon with their old rivals, Norwich Free Academy The two schools have been the bitterest of rivals from time immemorial and there is extra feel ing because of the trimming that Windham gave Norwich at Recreation Park, last year. Gager and l.. iA- moureux, two of Windham's first class players,x will not play today because of interscholastic rules which bar F. G. and one who has left school for 8 certain time. For this reason. Wind hams lineup will differ from that at the game at Recreation Park last aSt- urday. L. Gamoureux's place at left end will be taken by Adams, a new man, but who has shown up well in practice, while George Robinson, a husky veteran of the gridiron, will take Gager's place at fullback The lineup will probably be as follows: Adams, left end; E. Robinson, left tackle; Tighe, left guard; Bowen, oen- ter; Potter, right guard; Costello, right tackle: A. Lamoureux, right end; Sumner. quarterback: Kenyon. left halfback; Tucker (capt) right halfback, and G. Robinson. fullbacK
