AWARD OF BIS
 ON THE HILLTOP
 STARTS MURMUR

Much surprise was manifested in athletic circles at Bridgeport High school yesterday afternoon. following the awarding of "B's'' to the football players at the meeting of the Ath- letic Association when it was known that Pete Jacobowsky and Eli Don bullion, two star backfield men were not given letters.
 The concensus of opinion at the Hilltop is that the two players more than earned the letters, but were sighted by the A. A. Following is a list of players who received the in signia for their work on the gridiron this past season: Joe Flannel, Captain Frank Mertens, Ray Shea, Clarence Anderson, Bill Behrens, BroWnstein. Kenneth Walker Cliff Lynch, Howard Seeley Francis Carley, Billy Dunn, "Qui11'' Adams, Chubby Larson, SolOff. Keane Louis Berger, Manager Ken meth Ryan and Schiller.
 The captain for the 1923 football season will be elected at the annual football banquet which comes just be- fore the Christmas recess.

State Board Candidate.


 It wouldn't occasion any mountains of surprise to see Howell named to the State Boxing body by Gov. Elect CT Frank Murphy of Hartford expires June 1, and there have been rumors going the rounds that he will not be reappointed.
 Dick Howell and Gov. Elect Tenn pleton are close friends, politically and socially. That's one of the req sons why Dicks local friends believe he will occupy a seat in the higher boxing tribunal before long.
 Mayor Atwater has not appointed a successor to Howell. There'u be the usual wire pulling and scramble for the berth. The Mayor, however, will probably take his time in looking over the qualifications of the candi- dates as they bob up on the surface
 He will be in no hurry the box ing game is dead here just now and two members will not be overtaxed in attending to the business of that department.
 Remington Out of Sport.
 Another club to throw up the sponge is the Remington Arms Club. Bob Davies of that organization an nounced yesterday that the club will surrender it's charter and license and will not attempt to run any shows in the future. The club obtained it's license less than a year ago and con ducted one show which was not a financial success. That was enough for the Remington boys.

 The opinion of the <newspapermen at the ringside was draw battle, DeFoe having a slight lead at in fighting while Goodrich had the up per hand at range-fghting. There was never an idle moment so hard did the men work, and they were given a tremendous ovation at the close.
 An attempt to re-match the men for New Years afternoon was imme- diately made by Promoter Gagan.

 The ''Ncellly' says that prob ably if graduate opinion was ob- tained it would come down to something like this:
 ''An easy and popular refuge in times of diStresS-aS in Greece just nOw-tO behead every defeated leader. \ defeated coach must go-nOt because he is not the man for the place, but because he was beaten"
 The ''WeekIy' gives as it's own opinion that a study of Yale football, "a name to cOnjure with up till 191O," discIOSeS a lack of a winning system. in the old system, it says, there was con- tintIity with tactical brains at the top.''

Jiggs Donahue Has
 Unique H. R. Record

Speaking of Eastern League baseball feats, a fan calls atten- tfOn to the fact that 'J1ggs DOnahue of the BrasScoS never got credit for a unique stunt he pnIIed while playing with Albany in a double bill against NorceS- ter last season.
 In the first game "Jiggs' bat ted right handed against Lefty Bennett and snlacl1ed homer over the left field fence.
 Coming to bat in the nlgntcap number. he swung around to the opposite side of the plate, and crashed a circuit waIIo0 over the right field fence.
 It is the opinion of the fan In- fornlant that the trick of putting the ball over fences on both sides of the field when batting from different positions, never will be duplicated
