Great credit is to be given the New

handling Of the large crowd at the
New Britain. Hartford game last Sat
urday. There is no question that it
was the largest attended and the best
handled High school game ever play
ed in New Britain or Hartford and
probably in the state, There were no
delays from people croWding on the
field. 1t is true to say not a person
went on the field.
The game was fast very little time
out. Despite some remarks about the
officials, the officials knew the game
and rendered just decisions. It was
the good officiating that made The
game as clean and fast as it was.
Hartford will do well to see that
next year the crowd is handled as
well and the field kept as clear as it
was in New Britain last Saturday.
Credit should also be given the st.
Mary's field manager for the field ar

credit goes to Coach Cassidy and the

city manager plan of civic govern

expressed by Bradley Hull of Cleve-
land in an address today before the
annual convention of the national
municipal league,
The city manager plan sweeps us

declared Nr, Hull. mo matter who
makes the mistakes, the people final

a right to make their own mistakes.
There never was a time when the
party organizations did not control an
Overwhelmingly majority OF either the
city council or the legislative delega-
ton The apparent breakdown in
municipal systems, he said was due to
four causes:
Lack OF keen interest by voters:
lack of the right sort of leadership
in party organizations; drifting of
many voters marked by a high quail
ity of intelligence, initiative and civic
pride to suburbs; and the influence
OF public service utilities. If the
selection of the city manager is left
to a legislative body rather than the
voting public he asserted, the party
organizations will in the future enjoy
more permanent control Of the
citv's executive than they have in the
