Statistics Show High School
 Teams to Be Evenly Matched

Measured from the standpoin: of past performance. the N. E. H. S. and H. P. H. s. football elevens will take the field this season with neither club having an advantage over the other.
 Statisticc O: Teams.
 The West Haven High school team has held the Commercial High of New Haven to a scoreless tie. The same team defeated the Bristol High eleven by q 12 to 0 score. Tha local High school defeated Bristol 45 to 0. Sub tracting the 12 points made by West Haven in it's game with Bristol, it would appear that the locals are 33 points better than West Haven. Since that team and the Commercial High played on even terms, it would appear that the same condition is true in the comparison with tho New Haven elev- en-name1y, that the locaia are point1 better than New Haven. Hartford High school defeated Commercial High school by 8 33 to score. accordingly, on tho face of tho matter, it would appear that Hartford at the present time has no advantage ove. New Brit ain. Followers of tho New Haven cam say that not oncc thil year had their eleven put un such 2. poor show
  this report ii true. then tho local, chances are even brighser.> Although i the scoring Of past performances is not taken as sufficiently dependable to base a question of superiority upon {! those who have followed the actions of the Red and Gold and the Blue and White on the gridiron this year are 1 inclined to place both teams on an l equa! footing a: present.
 1 Saturdays Game Criterion.
 l Hence, Saturdays game here will l be taken by many al criterion IT. | Ansonia the locals will meet what is | probably the best football organiza- 1 tion playing under High school colors | in the state of Connecticut The team l hat already registered g. to Q win | over Stamford, a feat which it has 1 been unable to accomplish in five years. The Ansonia club has no game 1 with Hartford this year, but the Stanl- ford team will play in the, Capito l City shortly and further opportunit, will be presented to compare the abili- 1 ties of the Hartford and New Britain 1 team..
 1 If the powerful defense of the Rec l and Gold can withstand the attack oi l Ansonia and at the same time push l across even one touchdown; or ever | if a scoreless tie is the result, ther l the followers of the locals look for . | sure victory. If Ansonia makes but | small score, the hopes of New Britain l will still be bright. If,r however, the game is a complete walkaway for the l visiting eleven, it will appear that New Britains chances with Hartford thi! l year arc rather slim.
