Coach Delaney Confident That Local Athletes Will Win Meet

| Tomorrow is the big day for the New Britain High school track team It is the day of the Triangular meet wherein the local boys will stack ur against their bitterest rivals, the Hart | ford High and the New Haven High track teams. The meet will start at ? o'clock in the afternoon daylight saving time.
 Events Scheduled.
 The events in which the local ath- letes are to run and the order in which they will be conducted are as follows: 100 yard trial SSO yard run, 220 yard trials, 440 yard dash, 100 yard finals, 22o yard finals. and one half mile relay. The high jump, shot put, running broad jump, discus throw and pole vault, will be run in rotation simultaneously with the dashes and runs.
 Locals Chances.
 Postmaster William F. Delaney, coach of the local team, in summing up the chances of his charges for winning the meet, feels confident that they will do justice to his expecta- tions. He is not over confident that the local boys will win first honors, because there are number of events which are scheduled, particularly the long distance runs, in which the local boys have not shown up to good ad- vantage. He is confident, however, that his crew will try their hardest to beat the other two schools and thinks that with the local boys giving the best that is in them, New Britain will stand an excellent chance to COD the meet.
 100 Yard Dash
 Captain Ed Delaney is counted on to make the field step in the 100 yard dash. He has been improving his running style and his speed at every practice session, and in competition at the Trinity and Yale Interscholastic games, he showed marked ability to outrun anything that either New Haven or Hartford put in the field. He failed to place in the 100 yard dash in New Haven because he was penalized for a false start. but he came back and won a wonderful race in the relay.
 High and Broad Jump
 Cooley, the local high jumper is ex- pected to win points in his event. He has jumped against the best that Hartford or New Haven has put forth, and although he is not expected to place first in the event, he is counted on to jump high enough to come in second. Landino is the one best bet the locals have in the broad jump. He has been making some good leaps in practice and Coach Delaney feels that he will bring home the bacon.
 Relay Team
 The local relay team is expected to show up well in their event. Every man on the team is one that is re- liable in pinch, and the showing that was made in New Haven last Saturday, proves that they can run.
 Weak in Long Runs.
 The local stand fair chance in the SSo, the 22o and the 40 yard runs long distance track available in prac-l tice, the lads who vii compete in this event, have not been able to show their best, but even though they are working under this handicap, because they are fighting crew, they will make things hum when they start.
 Vessels Trains Vaulters.
 The pole vaulters have been work ing hard under the tutelage of Pro- lessor Harry Vessels, who at one time, was one of the best in the world in that line. He has been show ing the boys the fine points of the use of the pole, the take off and other essentials necessary for the makngs of good pole vaulter, and he finds that some very good material can be
