HIGH SCHOOL MAS
 VICTORY IN N.Y..
Heavier Columbia Prep. Team no
 Match for Red and Gold

Although outweighed by at least 20 pounds to a man, the local high school team whitewashed tho Columbia Pre- paratory school eleven in New York city Saturday, registering three touch. downs for a q to win.
 It was the first time in the history of high school football that the team has gone into New York state. The squad, carrying with it six substitutes, left Friday afternoon for the metropolis with Coach George c. Cassidy who ar. ranged the game.
 The New Workers line was too pow erful to attempt any great amount of line plunging, and while Battler Murtha plugged through several times for gains, 1t was felt the wiser policy to use aerial work and end runs.
 The first score came when Dixie Grif fin made a pretty end run and crossed the Columbia goal line Capt. Feine- man registered his first touchdown when he raced across after nabbing q forward pass tossed by Griffin. On criss. cross play, Murtha dodged the Gothamites and shot across the Col umbia line, making the third and last touchdown.
 Coach Cassidy started the game with the following lineup: Zehrer and Meucke, ends; Williams and Capt. Feineman, tackles; RakowsN and Schaeffer, guards; Bentz, center; Ma honey and Davis, halfbacks; Griffin, quarterback; Murtha, fullback.
 After the game had been placed SC. curely on ice, Landino went in on Zehr- CTS end he later being replaced by ODell. Doc Bray took Meucke's end in the latter part of the game. On the line Duke McCabe and Cherpak replaced Rakowski and Schaeffer in the guard positions.

BOXERS IN
 MERIDEN BOUTS
Reimer and MidSeon Returned ViCtOrS Over New Haven Boxers

Bobby Reimer and Jack Midgeon, local boxers came through with fly ing colors in the ring at Meriden Saturday night, Reimcr gave Sol dier" Gibson, a terrific lacng in the 10-round semi-hnal, while Midgeon "kayoed" Young Mitchell of New Ha- ven in the first round. The star bout was between AL Shubcrt of New Bed ford, Mass, and Charlie Pilkington of Meriden. It was claimed to be d draw by Referee Jim Calvin, a Wat. erbury official there being many who disagreed with him,
 Kayo For NIidgeon.
 There was a big crowd in the Audi torium when the first bout started. Midgeon surprised his New Britian friends by the manner in which he handled himself He outclassed Nit chell at every angle of the sport, and finished the affair by rocking his ad- versary to sleep.
 Easy For Bobby.
 Bobby Reimer showed himself to be a much improved boxer, by the manner in which he avoided a mum Der of well intended clouts by Gib- son. In the opening rounds, it look ed as though Gibson would be sent to the mat, but he managed to weather the storm, and was given q big hand for his gameness when he left the ring.
 Pilkingtons Gone Back.
 Pilkington's return to the ring was not covered with any great amount of pugilistic display. While he ap peared to be in excellent condition, he found himself up against an op ponent who was willing at all times to mix it with him. Pilkington has been noted in the past for bis short flashes, and Saturday night, he tried thing. Howveer, the flashes were greatly reduced i'll time length, and toward the end of the bout, it was noticeable that he refrained from mixing it with Shubert any moro than was necessary. To the writer it look ed as though Shubert had all the bet ter of the battle. Pilkington prob ably showed his best in the second, seventh, eighth and ninth rounds His slaps had little effect on Shubert Pilkington elected toward the end of the bout to stand off and poke his left Into AIS face. It was n.' anxious crowd that awaited the dcclsion. The Meriden fans emitte" a somewhat weak wall, when c favorite was not awarded the verdict. The non-par- tisan alter liant, while he was dis gustea with the decision had in mind the recent robbery" which deprived Shubert of well earned decision over "kid' kaplan.
 Champion Introduced.
 Johnny Wilson, of Boston, Mass, champion of the world, was introduced from the ring.
 Bout at HartfrOd.
 It was announced that a Hartford club is planning to put on Bud" Weafer of Stamford and Phil Bloom of New York; in a bout next week.

Chicago, Nov. 7.-While Saturday s Western Conference football games reduced the number of championship contenders from four to three, the scramble for first honors has become more complicated than ever with three teams undefeated and their schedules so arranged that there is a strong possibility that they will re- main that way the rest of the season, leaving the race in a triple tie.

Portland High School Five Spring a Surprise on State Trade School Team Winnjpc fS to IL


 The New Britain State Trade school basketball team was defeated by the Portland High school team 15 to 14 Saturday afternoon at the Y. M, c. A. in Middletown. The Portland team gave the local boys a little sur prise by playing the same style of game that the black and orange" have played for the past year The game was the first of the sea- son for the Trade school and was rather ragged. The defence was par ticuarly poor and will need a lot of hard work to get it up to the stand- ard set by last years team. In gen. eral the slowness in taking advant- age of every opportunity and the poor support by the defense was re- sponsible for the defeat of the locals For Portland, Cynoske and Olson starred. For New Britain, Swanson played well.

VISITING TEAM
 PROVES AFARCE
Nutmegs Pile Up 56 Points in
 Easy Manner

It is not frequent that about 1000 football fans turn out to see the Nut megs practice, but in substance this is what occurred yesterday afternoon at Nibberts Field. An aggregation billed as a football team for no req son that we can explain, called the Army and Navy club of South Man chester, furnished plenty of amuse- ment for the crowd, when in a bur esque affair, the Silk Town team was beaten, 56 to 0, It was the weirdest exhibition of football ever staged on D local field. Although the affair was one sided, it afforded the Nut megs some chances to try out new plays which worked we'll The one bright feature of the game was con- tributed by Dill, the spectacular half back of the Nutmegs, with a 65-yard run. It was easily one of the best plays on a local gridiron in several years. Dill intercepted a forward pass, and after shaking off several Manchester players, he ran nearly the entire distance of the field for a touchdown. Besides being one of the backfield stars of the Nutmegs, Dill Is among the most popular. No matter how hard he is thrown, he usually, comes out of the heap with a smile on his face. He is one of the most consistent ground gathers on the team.
 Big Day for Barnikow.
 Captain Barnikow had a big day, registering five touchdowns and he booted the ball well both at tries after touchdowns, and bunting. George Talbot piled up a touchdown on a pretty line play Talbott con- tinues to demonstrate game after game that he is one of the headiest quartcrbacks in the state, besides be- ing one of the most retiring. George Scott and Carpenter, the speedy Bristol boys, both played well. Scott entered the game in the second half, and his speed proved too much for the Manchester tackles. At one time while making a sweeping end run, Scott directed his interference, pointing out players he wanted tack led, AS a result the runner cover ed about 25 yards. The Nutmegs line proved the same stonewal as in past games. Rogers, the center time and again broke through and caught the visitors backfield men before they had got started. Jimmy Con- nelly and Buchney seemed to enjoy the whole affair immensely, and they put up a fine exhibition despite the weak opposition. Chartier and Pet erson, the Army and Navy ends, were the olyy players with the visitors who gave evidence of being football play CTS.

THE GRAND CONCERT, GRACE

Musical critics regard Mr. Alfred
Holy as one of the worlds foremost
harpists. He was born in Oporto,

trian by birth, was the head of the
National Conservatory. The early
years of his youth he spent in Rus
sia, and moving to Prague, he enter
ed the Technical School of that city.
first, he finally decided to become a
harpist, and entered the Prague Con-
servatory, and gained a first class
diploma in three years. His success
as a performer on the rare instru-
ment Of his choice was so marked
from the very start that he took a
place in some of the worlds most
famous concert groups. In orchestras
he played under such famous conduc-
tors as DR.. Muck, Mailer, Mottle,
Weingartner, Richter and Strauss.
He was induced in 1918 to join the
Boston Symphony Orchestra. That
he has held a position for eight
years with that organization is
enough recommendation to make us
marvel, and wonder at his consent to
come to Bradford at all 1t behooves
our citizens to come out FOUR HUN

alton.
The following press comments from
London, New York and Boston, give
us real music critics conception of
his ability:
Mr. Alfred Holy gave his first con-
cert at Broadway Hail. He is in
disputably one of the finest harpists
up to date. ....... His compositions
are particularly interesting in them
selves, and they are admirably fitted
for displaying his executive ability,
so that all possible effects were OBJ
tanned of delcacy, brilliancy and
sonority.-(The London Times.)

ber, RavePs Introduction and Alleg-
ro, proved most interesting. 1t serv-
ed to introduce to New Workers., Al
