 New Britain Plays Well
 Every player on the New Britain team Is deserving of credit for his showing yesterday. The line, which is easily one of the best that has ever played pro" football in this section, held like a stone wall on all occasions and this caused Murphy to keep boot ing the ball most of the afternoon. He did not meet with much success in trying to out-kick Captain Barni- kow, of the New Britain team.
 My, This Pair Can Run
 Jimmy Conley and Al Blanchard were like pair of greyhounds, and their getting down under punts brought forth praise from even the Hartford fans. Time and again, Gil- roy and Murphy. who were playing back, were downed by either Jim or Al as soon as they had caught the ball. In the second period, Blanchard nearly got away with an intercer<sd pass Had he held it, it would have resulted in a sure touchdown. The ball bounced out of his hands just as he was starting for the Hartford goal line.

Malone, Frankel, Nealon, Politis and Rogers budging, with the result that Hart ford gave up the job early in the game of advancing the ball that way.
 No Subs Used

C.. lasted just one play Catching a punt in the first period, he was down. ed by Conley and when he "came to" he was being carried off the field by fellow players.
