"Barney' Al Quarterback

Barney" At Quarterback
 Edward Barnikow, whose specta- cular work made him the unanimous choice of the experts last season. as an All-New England selection. will lead the locals on the field. He has been selected to play the quarterback position, due to the uncertainty of Cummings, of Torrington, who prom tsed to try for the place, showing up tomorrow. There is no need of tell ing the fans of the ability of Barney" as it is too well known
 Backfield Players.
 The backfield tomorrow will con- tain Dewey Carpenter, of Bristol and Dill, last year with the Nutmegs. Manager kiniry has been very for tunate in getting this pair of boys into the fold. One of the faults last season seemed to be that Carpenter z was not given opportunity enough. In the games he did play, his work was of sterling calibre. Dill. is a verit- able wizard on the offensive, and proved last season to be one of the hardest men on the field to bring down to earth. He made several brilliant runs, both in games here and out of town last season. A new player Barnes" of Hartford will be the other backfield man. He is a former college player. whose work has gladdened the hearts of Messrs. Kiniry and Lash. He will, it is pre- of the team.
 The Wing Positions.
 For the end positions the manager has selected. "Swede" Paulson, "Kop- pie" Koplowitz and Elliott. Pauson, performed last year with the Tro- jans, and his work attracted the at tention of the managers of faster company late in the season. He has lots of grit, is a good tackler, and on the offensive, he blocks off the opposition in fine style. Koklowitz, since the days that he wore the New Britain High school uniform has been rated as one of the best in Connecticut. Although small in stat ure, he makes up for this with his grit. "Koppie' is afraid of nothing, and the harder they come at him, the better he seems to like it. FL lott hails from Meriden and he will make his debut into the lineup some time tomorrow He played last sea- son with the Mohawks of Meriden, and was one of the mainstays of the team.
 POlitis and Cleary.
 For the tackle positions, Slim" Politis, a member of the New Eng land champions last season, and Cleary, new man in this city, will be found. Politis, in the estimation of local rooters, ranks far ahead of any line man in Connecticut, Pow erful in every way Politis several times last year, broke through and smeared plays, before the opposition had got started with them Cleary, was formerly captain of the Bridge water A. c. of Worcester, Mass He appears in the lineup to be a fine successor to "Buchney" whose work last year along with Poitis, went a long way toward the success of the 1921 champions.
 New Haven Star Here.
 The guard positions will be cared for by Frankel, formerly of the Will Hams A. c. of New Haven and Drose. New Britain fans will remember the performance turned in by Frankel against the All Hartford eleven and also the exhibition he gave with the Elm City team against the Nutmegs Drose started last season with the Nutmegs. He is powerfully built youngster, who only lacked the finer 
 make him star. In the practice so far, Drose seems to have acquired skill. ....
 Rogers At Center.
 The center position will be cared i for by Rogers, of Merrden, and like his fellow townsman Barnikow. lt- | tie need be said of his work Last year, Rogers as much as any other i player on the team, was responsible | for the success attained by the cham pions. He is smaller than most cen ters, but his speed and power more | than offsets this.
 Strong in Substitutes.
 Manager kiniry has fortified the team with a capable looking lot of players who will be sent in from time to time tomorrow. Among this number are Wallen, formerly Of Trim ity: F.. Vernon Read, of East Berlin, formerly of Wesleyan; Tinti, formerly of the Nutmegs; Bayer Stefnick, of this city, and Arute, of Berlin.
 Makes Special Offer.
 Manager kiniry stated today that ip order that the Bridgeport team may bring the best available tomor- row, he has made the Park City man ager an offer of a guarantee of s100, II additional to the guarantee for the game, should the visitors defeat the locals. This plan will be carried out throughout the season, Manager Kin Try says. It is with the intention of getting nothing but the best in the football line, that this idea has been
