TR0TTTNG FLOURIsHED DURING
 SEASON JUST CLOSED

Although trotting and pacing did not figure prominently in this district, i5 car ried a strong appeal throueihout the oauntry Nearly 1,5oO meetings were held this year and more than S4,00d 00o in purses and stakes distributed. The sport enjoyed a popularity not surpassed in many years and attendance records were set at both the Grand Circuit meet ings and half-nile tracks.
 Peter Manning, the fleet bay gelding from the stable of Irving Gleason, was the most notable performer of the year On October at Lexinet-n he trotted a mile against time in 157 3-4 and clippei one-quarter of second from the record set nine years before by the great Uhlan- Earlier in the season Peter Manning step ped a mile in 1.5S
 Grey Worthy was another that stood out. Among the juvenile performers many promising colts and Allies were shown.
 Walter Cox carried off the honors among the drivers, but old Pop Geers the dean of them all, finished well up or the winning list.

Is ended The ranking and the choosing of ail-Americar or all-ssctional teams went or as before. with tho choice of q ctainpion anything but unanimous. Un- like baseball and some other sports, there is no definite way of determining national champion in the great college sport. :.
 In the east the nnbeaten elevens were hose of Penn State, Lafayette, Cornell, md 1yashirgton and Jefferson, consider ing on,ySthose which might have a claim to championship honors by virtue of the opoositicn encountered. Penn State took upon Itself much greater task than did any of the others mentioned, and for thar reason it was generally selected as the leader of the eastern group. Any team which meets such opponents as Harvard Georgia Tech, Navy. Pitts burgh, Lehigh and then makes trip to the far west for a game with Washing ton without once testing defeat is 3 good eleven. Such was the record oi Hugo Bezdell's great machine during the season recently closed.

NORWICH, WITH UNBEATEN RECORD. FIRST IN MONEY

Norwich was not only the king of the 2-year-olds. but he was the biggest money winner of the year. He won 2 races in New York state, which netted him s65,3s4. His grand total of the year. however, was $115,416; his two victories at the Maryland track bringing up the total to that amount. His record of the year shows a string of II victories all told. Grey Lag finished second with eight races to his credit and s44,171. He was the champion among the 3-year-olds, although he was beaten four times. Mad Halter, stable mate of Grey Lag, also won eight races and was the most sue cessful of the handicap division Of horses in the amount of money won. But Tsl- low Hand topped the list ih the numbe. of victories, as he captured 10 races. He finished a few hundred dollars below Mad Halter.

SMALL COLLEGES OF STATE
 HAVE EXCEPTIONAL YEAR IN SPORTS

The past year. as far as cellege ath- letics in Connecticut have been concern ed, has been essentially the year Of the small college. Trinity, Wesleyan and the Connecticut Aggies have all broken out in the sport world, while Yale, in former years. Connecticut's only repre- sentative in the greater world of sports has emphatically taken a back sSat.
 The small colleges have come {o the front in basketball more than in any other sport since the war. / Foothal. still holds the center in the collegiate sport stage but the quintets which fill in the interim between the plunk of shoes on pigsllin and the crack of wood against hprsehide are getting more and more and more attention
 Football
 None of the Connecticut colleges had a particularly good year in football. Yale had a successful season until it's pia5ted by 'Charlie" Buell., a. Connecti- cut boy who halls from Hartford The Aggies came through in the majority of their games during the year, but the game with Trinity, the only other con test with a college from wzthin the con fines of the state ended in a score1ess tie Trinity won only two Of it's games during the year and Wesleyan was swarrped by Williams in the final game of the year. The Middletown team was badly dastanced in It's race for honors in the Connecticut Valley, nosing but of the Amherst game with a tie as the result of sensational field goal in the last few minutes of play as the result of Scriggins' long tsoot, and losing tc Williams, it's other rival
 The Trinity Wesleyan game, one ot the classics of football in the Valley was greatly missed. Trinity severed re lations with Wesleyan after the game in 1920 as the result of the dissatisfac- tion of both colleges with conduct rt the rival teams in the game. Tho twc colleges have been more or less at log gerheads since the George BriclSly epi sode before the war. end 1t Is likely that the two colleges will stay apart f3l some time It is inevitable. however that the two teams vii: meet again sooner or later, for the colleges are na tural geographical rivals. Neither is biz enough to compete with Yale, even if i was conceivable that tTtey o3uld breal into the 'eBie Three an neither is will ing to accept the Aggies as ics n1a5ol opponent.

In Stonington and Westerly the high school athletics are apparently receiy- ing more support than in past years It was notable during the year just closed that the old time rivalry between Nor wich and New London had dirnmed and was not burning with the fierce flame of the oljen days. School rivalry is what makes high school athletics.

 Football.
 The football season was not as success ful as the baseball season, the team only winning 50 per cent. of the games played, and managed to tie with Bulkeley and Westerly for Second place in the league standing. Under the guidance of Cap tain Reid the team was skilfully managed but the teams encountered were Of su- perdor strength. The Vocational team o2 New London had a strong aggregation and the local team was powerless before them. The old rival, BulkeFey. had to quit the season with a tie, the last game with the Orange and Black being the best of the season and showed the old- time fighting spirit of the Academy.
 The lineup Of the team is as follows: Meek, left end; Sage. left tackle; We'll ington and Learned, left guards; Van Wagenen. center; Browne and Mousley, right guards McNamara. right tackle i: Fox and Sernple, right end; Dahl and Covey, Quarterbacks Williams and Chase, left halfbacks; Reid right half- back; Browne and Boynton, fullbacks /; Subs, Connor. Chappell, Schleifer, Vol lorvitz and Abbott Boynton sprained his back in the Windham game and Browne was shifted from guard to fullbaok to finish out the season. At the c0nciusion of the season Charlie Williams was the choice of the team for captain, and Com nor assumed the managers duties.
 The record of the team follows:

Both managements went out fps real material and the best minor leaeus talent was secured and a brand of hxse- ball that has seldom been seen here wsz played at the Fairgrounds Another at traction of the season was the playing of the St Louis National team with Rogers Hornsby as the drawing cart This game took place just before St Louis started on their haisS-s rampage n the National league early in the seHspa and the Cardinals attribute their streak oS good luck to Norwich

Hughie with his sturdy left arm had prsc- l tically any team that faced him as his mercy and only a few defeats were chalked up against him Bergen canght
 most of the games until he split his ffngea at the latter part of the season and was

 HAS VICTORIOUS SEASON

The Submarine Base football eleven has gone through the season with but one defeat and with but one team scoring upon them. The record stands for 13 games; total points py sub base e24; to- tai roints by opponents 13. The All Hartfords which was the only team to beat the base gridiron men were in turn beaten by the sailors in a return game
 The Submarine Base eleven owes much of It's success on the gridiron to the ex- pert coaching given them by Captain F. n. Rerrien and Lieutenant Commander T. T. Wright, both Of whom are Annapolis graduates, having won their spurs on the navy elevens. Captain Berrien was head coach for the U. s.
