TITLE BATTLE AT MERIDEN TOMORROW New Britain and Bridgeport to
 Settle Gridion Supremacy
Tonorow's Lineup.

Two of the best football teams in Connecticut are scheduled to meet at 230 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Hanover Park, Meriden, when the New Britain and Bridgeport elevens will battle in game for the state title. It will be the second clash of the teams this season, the first re- sulting in q rout for the locals, 15 to o. Since the defeat at Bridgeport, the home team has. been greatly strengthened. with the acquisition of Nealon, Duly. Leary and Blanchard, on the line, and with Carpenter at quarterback and Harmon at fullback.
 Locals in Good Shape.
 } The locals came out of the hard fray at Meriden on Thanksgiving aft ernoon in fairly good condition. Po- litis is being bothered somewhat with d lame arli, but he will be in there fighting the same as usual. Bob Leary is also expected to be right for substitute duty tomorrow.
 Hanlmil and Hickey.
 The Bridgeport team has been trav- cling along at fast clip this season. The Park City club is the only Con- necticut team to gain an advantage over the locals in three years. In Hanmil and Hickey, Manager Mike Healy has two of the sweetest look ing backtield men that, wear gridiron uniforms in this part of New England. HammiIs brilliant end runs are a treat to watch, while Hickey is some what nifty at booting them across the uprights from most any distance within the 4o-yard line. The team will be practically the same that rode roughshod over Manager klnlry's boys at Bridgeport. On Thanksgiv- ing Day at New Haven, the Drldge- porters defeated the Williams A. C. in q game that was marked by the absence of a penalty. '
