HIGH SCHOOL IN
 GREAT VICTORY
(conunued from Preceding Page)

Blue and White. But standing out by virtue of his performance Satur- day afternoon as one of the best football players ever developed in the Franklin Square institution was Ernie Neipp. whose boot sent the pigskin 4S yards for a fled goal in the third period.
 The score came after New Britain had registered two touchdowns and was well in the lead, As Neipp stood back in position for the kick it looked very much as if Coach Cassidy had perfected a clever piece of strategy and that in moment Grip, Belser or Xchrcr would be blowing through the Hartford line. But, the ball-was passed and as pretty kick as scholastic gridirons are likely to witness for many moons followed, The cheering and bowling mob sent mp din that lasted for several minutes.
 Not only did he register field goal and ono point tally after the second touchdown, but Ncipp also distinguished himself by carrying the ball for substantial gains and he was thorn in the side of Hartford on the defense. Ncipp alternated at center, end and in the backhcId.
 Captain Zip" zehrer closed his football career in blaze of glory, leading his warriors through the most successful encounter with Hartford that it has ever been the privilege of Red and Gold captain to engineer, Zip was big ground gainer and excellent on the defense. He intercepted three for ward passes, scored one. touchdown and throw the four forward passes on which tOuchdowns were made. A ford on the work Of "Red' Miller at center would not be amiss. Unusually light for this position, Miller plugged away at the Hartford oftense and made tackle after tackle, Rcd had No. 13 on his jersey and it spelled hard luck for any Hart ford man who carried the ball within grabbing distance of tho scrappy center.
 Beloin was the mainstay Of the line. A hard worker who didn't know how to quit and who was ir every play, he assured himself Of [ berth an any unbiased Connect. cut High school team picked. Doi, nowski played hard and well q, did sNcshan. These two lads arc busincssike in the line entrusted tc their protection.
 Politis, brother of Slim and Dan, nie politis, both Of whom have played with All-New Britain, proved worthy youth to accept the mantle now cast off by his brothers. He should he whirlwnd with anothcI years experience.
 Pat O'Brien plugged away for gains and knocked down cyerythinf | in sight all afternoon. It did not 1 fall 10 his lot 10 carry the bal ] across for any of the scores, but hi! ground gaining made it possible or several occasions to place the pig skin within scoring distance.
 "Howie' Belser also closed hi. high school career and made it z fitting closing. Bclscr is one of the finest all-around athletes that ever donned the Red and Gold. An un. assuming chap who seemed to gel whoever he went after, "Howic' proved very popular with the fans.
 The summary tells the story oI 1 Grips game. He is without z doubt one of the spctdtst runner. playing High school football today One Of his touchdowns, he madC ! with three Hartford lads hangiu& onto him for nearly five yards. ! Mccarthy played a whale of { gem" al end, and tho subs who wen in at the end Of the game alst turned in good afternoons work. ! The game is the concluding con t"st of this years schedule. B, ! virtue of the win over Hartford New Britain is entitled 10 the stat. championship with Hartford an, New Haven running tic for secon, place. New Britain defeated hotl Hartford and New Haven, and New Haven trounced Hartford. Ha, New Britain lost Saturday, each O the teams in the triangular leagI, would have one win to its credit an, a triple tie would result.
