Gnidiron Strategy
SHOULD KNOW FUNDAMENTALS (BY HARRY STUHLDREHER) (Notre Dame-All-American
 Quarterback, 1920

There are certain definite facts, football fundamentals, so to speak, that every quarterback must care fully follow. Here are few of the most important:
 Study carefully the reports or your football scouts. The informa- ton provided Is usually invaluable in helping in the proper selection of plays. since 1t points out the strength and weakness of the op- position.
 The quarterback must always keep In mind the condition of the field and the direction of the wind, as guidance in the best plays to be used.
 There should be no indecision in the calling of signals, The plays should be constantly rehearsed to perfect smoothness In execution.
 Before calling the signals the quarback should survey his field and be sure that all his men arc in readiness to do their part in the an- ticipated play.
 It is usually best to alternate the ball carriers so that you do not tire one out. However, there are cer- tain situations that often call for re- peat plays by the same player.
 There should be a reason for every play that the quarterback sig nals for He should always look over his defense for openings and then call play he believes has a good chance to go over.
 By no means pick any signal out of the bag" just because it is part of the systetm. Have some reason for every attempt to advance the ball.

kensington Congregational Church Planning To Make It Hot For New Britain Church Athletic Teams

New Britain churches which are interested in athletics. will have 10 watch out for a nelghbor in the flu ture If the work which Rev. Vernon l..

Two groups composed of about l5 men each have been formed and these will practice indoor sports each week.

George Cassidy Is having a hard time keeping his squad together. News from Hartford comes to the ef- feet that every man on tho team In the Capital City has passed his ex- aminations and Is eligible to play du' ng the season. It Is the hope of the New Britain followers that the boys who have been chosen to represent their alma mater on the gridiron will knucke down and make up the deficit so that the team will be able to put its real strength in the field.

 New Britain teams are starting to be noticed about the state for their prowess on the gridiron. All-New Britain has already attracted state wide notice from football fans and by the teams showing against the Pennsylvania Yellow Jackets and the New York Giants, topped off with a victory over the Hartford West Sides, has put 1t to the fore as contender for state honors.
 If Mulligan keeps stalling around for his 50 per cent of the gate in this city, there will be no contest between All-New Britain and the Waterbury Blues and If that Is the case, can anyone tell us how a team can claim to be the state champion football outfit unless 1t has met and conquered every team in the state?
 All-New Britain has signed a con- tract to meet the Atlantic City team in Atlantic City, N. J., the first part of next month. Manager Ed Daley Of the local aggregation is trying to make arrangements with the rail- road company for excursion rates for the fans to the pleasure resort.
 New Britain boys are being watch cd In college football circles. John ny Grip and Howard Beloin will probably get into the game for Ford. ham today. Bob Peplau will surely be in at halfback for Minnesota, while Ernest Neipp will be back with the Birmingham, Ala, college eleven today.
 There are others, we are sure, who hail from New Britain who are starring in sports throughout the country and we would very much like to hear something about them. This is because the fans in this city are very much interested In the work being accomplished by these New Britain lads in the outer world.
 The Rangers A. c. football team will pactice tomorrow morning at e:S0 o'clock at St. Mary's field in final preparation for the game with Thomaston in that town tomorrow afternoon. All fans andN players should be ready to take the bus for the clock town at F o'clock noon.
 The Falcons are ell set for the Meriden Falcons tomorrow after noon and local fans who care to see 8 real battle should make 1t g. point to be in the Silver City tomorrow afternoon to see these two teams go at each other.
 The Herald today is printing a

composite box score Of the world series game for tho benefit of those fans who are Interested enough in compiling statistics from year to year. This composite score, we think, is about as complete as 1t Is possible to get It. It shows all the necessary facts In connection with the seven games and will be a val uahle addition to the files of sport fans in this city.
 No, we did not compile it. There fore the fans will be practically as- sured that 1t is pretty nearly right.
 The national guards basketball team, turned out for its first practice last night at the state armory on Arch street and some of the old d-time class was noticed as the boys sped about the floor. The season isn't so very far away and Manager Clarence Lanpher is wise in starting his squad going before the talk of basketball gets real hot.
 An effort Is being made to form a state Basketball league and at the present time 1t is not known whether New Britain will be entered or not. The league competition seems to at tract better than anything else and may be good thing. Still, at the same time, a team playing sched- uled games probably does not have the opportunity to meet the attrac- tons which are not playing in league ball.
 With the returns that the national guards give the fans in this city they sure': will not want for backing again this year. and 1t is the sincere wish of all that the old crowd will be bG K at the armory roofing for the boys again this season as they were last season.
 We admire the fan who comes out today asking for junior basketball teams to get into action. There Is a scarcity of junior teams fin this city and the reason can probably be found in the fact that they haven't any opportunity to play in suita- ble hall. Regarding the national guard reserves, 1t might he little too early for these boys to start action, but we expect that their team will be out in full force again this year.
 Harry Stromquist is again ineligi. ble to play with the New Britain high school football team according to the list of eligibles issued from the office of Principal Slade today. Also Big" Bruce, another mainstay on the team has been declared sin eligible for the eleven. Both of these boys have failed to meet the study requirements.

OBJECTS
by Beatrice Fairfax.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX;

NEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
~ 1 have been friends with a
girl for a year. In this time she
has visited my family very often
and sometimes spent the week
end with me. My mother is IA
vorablv impressed with her.
My friend has invited me to
stay at her home just for one
night. But my mother strongly
objects. Mother says that as
long as I have a home to sleep
in, I should sleep at home.
I cannot see that my mother is
correct. and it will be impossible
for me to keep the friendship of
this younp lady If my mother
continues to object to my stay
ing overnight at her home.
Your frank opinion will be
greatly appreciated by my mother
as well as by myself. A. L.
THE invitation to stay over
Il night at your friends home
should come from your friends
mother, who, as head of the
home, would be your hostess.
There seems no reason why you
should not accept such an invita-.
ton from your friends mother
and chaperone. provided you can
win your mothers consent. But
even though your mother prefers
to have you come home for the
night, I cannot see how this
could affect your friendship with
the girl you admire.
