MACRISTY'S MEN
READY FOR BATTLE
Final Game Of 1917 Season at
New Haven Saturday

The final game of the 1917 season
for the New Britain High school foot
ball team will be staged Saturday
morning on tho old Yale field, when
the locals face tho New Haven HiHh
school eleven. Tho contest Is Of
much Importance to both teams. and
u hot battle is sure to ensue. On
form, the locals should win, judging
from the relative merits OF the teams
against tho strong Hartford Hign
team this season. The Capitol city
gridders piled up II 10 to victory
over the Elm city team several weeks
ago, without much trouble, tho New
Haveners looking like the weakest
team that has represented the school
in many years. One week later New
Britain and Hartford battled to o
to tie.
Captain Macristy and his boys have
been hard at work practicing for the
Coming contest, since the Hartford
game and with the exception OF
Hagearty and Vibberts. all players
are In tip top shape. With tho two
backf1cld stars lost to the eleven.
Coach pcarce has decided to move
Johnson from the line back to a
position behind the line, with Sech-
rest the possible substitution at
tackle. The elongated second string
boy has been grooned for the line
| position by Harry Ginsberg and there
are strong hopes that he will come
| through in as worthy a manner as the
other Ginsberg find. Zapatka.
The probable lineup for Saturdays
! game will be as follows: Ends.
Burns and Faulkner; tackles, Williams
! and Sechrest; guards Waters ana
Zapatka: center, KAHN: halfbAcl<s.
Ashley and Johnson: fullback, Cap

Preparations are under way at

city early in the winter to battle with
the crack Y. NJ. c. A. Quintet. Judr.
Ing from the athletic ability disnlaved

Other members of the team will prob
ably include Henry Koplowitz and
other New Britain boys. When Cap

! strels performance December z the
details for the coming game will be

| New Britain will no doubt furnish
q harder opposition on the basket

ball warriors. Director Slater has tn,
benefit of having such stellar per
formers as Bill Kopf, Jacobson
Stevie Dudack, Kennie Walthers
Charlie Miller. Jones, Siegrist ant
others to turn out a fast team. Prac
tice will be started by the locals il
short time for the game.
The New Britain Y. M. G. A. ha
lent the committee much assistance
in putting across their athletic event
in the past, and with the staging o
the proposed basketball game, it vii
be another step toward doing thei

A GLASS EYED BOXER

Cleveland Physician Discovers PuRil-
ist With n Phony Optic ana Disbar-
ment From Ring Is Result.
Out in Cleveland they have a. clever
young bantamweight who has been
fighting under the name Of Young
Burns. This boy has been boxing in
and around Cleveland for three years
and was looked upon as the crack of
them all at his weight.
Recently he was being examined in
the usual manner by a club physician
before being allowed to go in a bout
at Marotta. This medic, it seemed,
was much nosier than the rest had
been, and he discovered that Burns
had glass eye!
And now it develops that Burns has
had this china orb all the while, but
since the secret is out the authorities
have barred him from all Sixth City
rings.
Can you imagine the CONSERVATION
that would have been caused had some
opponent during the past three years
hit Burns hard enough to knock his
Dresden soul lantern into some fat
customers lap? Ugh!!!

Acquisition Of Three Players Brings
Confidence to Princeton Freshmen.

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 22.-The an
nouncement that Keck, Opie and
Jacobs will be eligible for the Yale
freshman game at New Haven next
Saturday was officially made through
the board of eligibility yesterday
afternoon. Although the addition of
these mon to the Tiger cub lineup
will considerably increase the strength
Of the eleven, their presence will by no
means counterbalance the loss of
Sweet, Chapman, Hawke and Scheerer.
Scheere has been the best line
plunger Of the squad all through the
season and Sweet. besides being the
only kicker of ability on the squad,
was the lost Of the freshmen in an
open field
Coach Fred Dawson has been driv-
ing the squad to the limit this week.
Jacobs and Hopkins will probably
fill the vacant places in the back
field. Davis, right end, appears to
be Dawson's best bet as q KICKER but
this lack of experience should provo
a great handicap in the Yale game.
