NEW BRITAIN HIGH
 SHOPPERS HOLYOKE
Bay State Eleven Goes Down to
 Defeat, 27 to 0

Playing a whirlwind game@in the closing period of last Saturdays game with Holyoke High school the red~ jerseyed eleven of the New Britain High school, administered a crushing defeat to the Bay State team, 27 to O at St. Mary's playground. The show ing of the locals surprised many, and there is great hopes for the outlook of a championship eleven. Under the clever mentoring of Dave Dunn, the Franklin Square boys are rounding. into fine form.
 The Holyoke team, a big, powerful looking aggregation that lowered in some respects over the locals, was a badly beaten team, and when the whistle ended the contest. it was with tired bodies that the Massachusetts team slowly. left the field for the dressing room. <
 Local Line Is Strong.
 The line of the New Britain team looks particularly strong this year. Tn Sparks, New Britain has a fine heady player, that is usually found in all plays. Brink, his side partner, is showing up well. James Renehan at center and his brother John Renehan at end, are small players, who have plenty of grit. Jimmy hcnehan pro- duced one of the feature plays of the afternoon, when he formed the interference for Bill Burns on a foC- ward pass and neatly dumped O'Neil, the Holyoke quarterback when he was about to tackle the local bacltfield man.
 Griffen showed considerable inn provement in his playing over that of the Bristol game a week ago. He con- tributed two long runs that scintiI- lated. Appell and Peplau smashed through the Holyoke defense time after time for substantial gains Bill Burns was easily the star of the aft ernoon. His open field work com pletely bewildered HoIyoke, and sev- eral times he made dashes for 20 and 30 yards. Burns showed skill at kicking goals from touchdowns. He also tried two goals from the f1elE from tho 25 and 90 yatd lines miss- ing both tries by few inches. E New Britain Scores. New Britain scored the first touch- down in the second period, when Ap- pell crossed the goal line. Burns missed the try for goal. The Holyoke team showed some fighting spirit in this quarter when New Britain rushed the ball to within two inches of the goal line, but failed to put it across, It was only few minutes later when the score was made.
 In the closing period the locals started their smooth machine going, and three touchdowns were made in very quick time Two brilliant runs by Burns aided greatly, in the accom- plishment.
