 Be No CinCh

New Britain High school football whi,h faces Hartford High school next Saturday on the gridiron in the most important game of the season. has entered into practice to fit them for he fray, and when tho referee sounds the whistle for the opening of the game at St. Mary's playgrounds. the Capital city team will be called upon to extend itself to the utmost. Secret practice will be the order this week. Coach Bearce having removed his charges from Walnut Hill park whore they have worked out all fall, < to -------- ''som ewhere in New Britain" This will thwart any at- tempt on part of Hartford High spies Ito learn the many trick plays that the slloca1a are mastering. .f<a.~ s Have .

 7Avsn la1t Saturday afternoon on Erinity field, and after watching tho ssWeakest team that New Haven has ssavsr placed on the held, hold tho
 nnch touted Capital city aggregation { to q 10 to score. the hopes of the 5 sssl1.rdware city eleven went soaring. Every member of the locals left the meld with the confidence that the s1ong string of victories over Hartford I}would be added to next Saturday. Hartford Is Strong.
 There is no denying the fact that CaptAin Dunn has fine team behind him wearing the Blue and White of the H. F. H. S., but other great teams have faced New Britain, only to find sthat the local brand of pep" proved \ too much for them. Iq Herbert and Sammy Suisman. Hartford High has two players that are to be reckoned sas dangerous at all times The man ner In which Suisman losses forward passes proves him as one of the best in these parts in High school circles SOn more than one occasion last Sat. urday Suisman would place his team An position to score by his clever shandling of the spheroid, and usually Herbert was the fellow to catch tho ball. Herbert closely resembles sBilr' Dudack in several respects, but not as a player. His ability to find holes in the line makes him a valu- hle asset to his team. '"Tanny' Da- wis, the little dusky flier, is holding down a halfback position, and his work Is on par with that of last sea- son, when he starred. Captain Dunn swho was out of Saturdays game, will 4be in shape to play next Saturday, and E 1t should prove worth the time to watch the battle between him and Kalin at center.
 Coach Bearce will probably send Johnson to the line in place of Dyson and Zapatka, who played stellar : game in Holyoke, may replace Waters, In case the latter is not in better shape than at present.
 A Speedy Quartet.
 The local backfeld is one that Is Aibound to cause Hartford plenty of < trouble, Hubbard. at quarter Hagear- ty and Vibberts at halfback positions and Captain McChristy, at fullback, being quartet that is hard to equal
 Williams the 180 pound tackle can
 be depended on to take care of his DO sition, and woe be to the opponent who tries to get funny with him. The locals have a fine set of ends in Burns, Olcott and Ashley. Ashley is showing wonderful improvement in Sshis work. and he may get a chance sto play in the backf1eld during the S coming contest. Vibberts kicking should prove a big factor in the suc- cess of the locals. The Hartford eleven failed to make much of an inn Ipression booting the ball.
 Director Moorhead is making ar engagements for handling mammoth, crowd. There will be, 10 policemen on hand. and at the opening of the contest they will be. placed inside the field to keep the crowd back. An ad- dif1nna] fox nP +hroo ,corfu uyi11 ho
