By CHICK CREATION

Eddie Reilly. the mite mentor of Bridgeport Highs footbalIers, is driv- ing his squad as it has never been driven before in preparation for the encounter with the Fairfield High eleven on the NewfeId Park green sward next Friday afternoon. The Red and Black schoOIboys will be in prime condition for the struggle if the zest and vim displayed in their work outs at the Eagle pasture can be taken a criterion.
 FaiFfieIds Wonder Team
 Fairfield has the best football ma chine in the history of the school and will invade NewfieId Friday with a better record than the Hilltoppers, conceding the fact that the Red and Black team has been up against stiffer opposition than Fairfield. While the path of the suburban town eleven has been strewn with glory, the B. H. & squad has been hOundering in mediO- crity. While Fairfield has had smooth sailing Bridgeport had to encounter many hardships.
 Red and Blacks Handicaps
 Some of the handicaps the Red and Black was compelled to overcome were the dearth of veteran material at the start of the season: the change of coaches at the beginning of the sea

son and another change later; the ab- sence of school spirit; the numerous ineigfblfties; and resultant injuries from the Harrisburgh game which put
 two star players, Captain Frank Mertens and Eli Donbu1lion out of the game for the remainder of the season, and several others for one or two games after. On top of this the schedule this season was the most se- ere in recent years.
 The game is expected to result in a bitter fight with the margin of victory being very close. The comparison of scores in this instance sih ows that B. II. s. defeated the New Haven Hill- house High team by a score of 13 to T. Fairfield beat that same eleven by a count of 3 to 0.
 Much Color Attached
 Much color is attached to this game a $ the High school which repre- sents the town adjacent hereto has all ways been hoping for football eleven to play the Red and Black Varsity team. In past years it had been cus- tomary to have the Hilltop second and third string teams play Fairfield, but now the suburbanites have grown powerful enough to tackle the B. H. $. first team. A merry battle of cheering and roofing will be in evil dence between adherents of the two neighbOring school teams.

Y. MS SNATCH 34 TO B VICTORY
 IN DRIVING FINISH

The Y. M H. A basketball team is yet to be defeated. Coming from behind in the closing minutes the To- calls last night nosed out the speedy Metropolitan quint of New York by 8 34 to 33 score. It was the fifth straight win for the Madison avenue athletes.
 Davy Kaplan, who has been in somewhat of slump of late, proved to be the hero, and although he play ed poorly in the first half, he redeem ed himself as it was his pretty field goal from the center of the floor which won the game. The visitors had a chance to tie the score Just before the whistle blew as a foul was called on one of the locals, but failed to gain the needed point.
 As usual the locals were slow in getting started and were behind at half-tiZne 1S-13.
 The final period however, found them going at top speed and they quickly ended the count. From then on it was anybody's game, being of the nip and tuck variety, and kept the fans on their toes till the final whistle sounded.
 Davy Kaplan and Capt. Max Fite1- talling l 8 points between them, while Rube Gordon managed to drop in 3 field goals and fouls.
 Greene of the visitors copped the individual scoring honors of the day with 13 points to his credit.
 This game was no doubt the best seen on the local court this year. the fans declared afterward.

FLOORS OPPONENT ' TIMES,
 BUT DALEY IS KNOCKED OUT

No, Sailor Daley is not 8 boiler
 maker, although he looked like
 one last night in his bout with
 George Murray of New Haven,
 at the amateur show last night.
 It was hurricane bout from the
 start of the gong to the third
 round when Daley was knocked
 out.
 Daley riveted the New Havener to the canvas seven times in the first round and Daley was also sent to the canvas once, but both of the bruisers were up quickly and kept going at a peu me1l rate of speed.
 The ex-saiIor led the Wayy in the first round, but began to tire in the second session. In the third Murray had the measure of Daley and hand ed him a terrific laoing- Daley out weighed Murray by IS or 20 pounds but the New Haven boxer was shifty and excelled the ex-sailor in ring science. Daley was also fIabby and showed no signs of having trained for the go.
 It is not likely that Daley will take on Jack Dempsey for a few months. Daley has the makings of a good fighter in the belief of some of the fans. He carries wa1lop in both hands and is strong as an OK. With @ good handler he may develop into a fair boxer. Despite his set back last night Daley was undaunt- ed-fTm going to keep right on go- ing" he said.
