team, VIC uont mean 10 say tHat
"Raddy" Is as good as "Napp" used
10 be because Jimmy was about as
good quarterback and an open
field runner as this state ever had.
But II the fans who remember
'Napp" and there are great many
OF them who attend the games at
Memorial Field who used to watch
the play at Andrews lot, watch
Radzewlch closely, they will notice
that he has the same style as the
Scott Of old.
"Napp" used to start like a flash,
follow his interference, pivot. twist
and squirm and was as slippery as
the CREASED pig" Opposing tack
lers hardly ever could get him
Down and his work was In great
measure responsible for many OF the
victories that New Britain used to
win. He used the high step that
college coaches place so much stress
on now and In all was a wonder on
the field.
Radzewich does the same thing
He is fast, he pivots, he steps high
and wide and very seldom are his
two legs caught at the same time.
He picks his holes made by his in
reference and shoots through on q
twist. He Is a hard man 10 down.
We notice at every game the
group of old Nutmeg players keenly
watching the play OF the team. They
all have some Caustic criticism TO
offer and many of the points they
advance are good ones. Many
think because this old time crowd
can pick the flaws in today's team,
that they are Grabbing the play of
the locals, They are not and such
Is not their intention. Their criti-
clsms are aimed at the team solely
because they are SO interested in the
game. They remember only a few
years back when "Butsy" Delaney
could stop seven men coming
through his side Of the line on an
off tackle play, and they want the
present New Britain team to do the
same as he used to do.
They know how Stcnglc used to
dump tho end plays and they want
New Britain TO do the same. We
are willing TO bet that there isn't
more loyal bunch of football fans in
this city right now than the old
Nutmeg crowd. Every Sunday morn
ing they are down at Memorial Field
watching the practice Of the team
and they know the game. Let them
keep it up, it does the team good
Manager Ed Daley has been sue
cessful in signing up "Shep" Bing-
ham, formerly of the Yale football
tealA, 10 play for the rest of the sea-
son with New Britain. Bingham
was chosen last year TO captain
Yale's eleven this fall, but because
of scholastic difficulties, he was
forced off the team. His decision 10
play professional football and his
subsequent signing with. New Brit
ain, will be big hit with the fans
in this city.
He will he placed at end in place
of Perry Bean. Perry goes into left
tackle where a big hole has been
noticed all season. Some of the fans
who have been following the team
this year hight have caustic Critt-
cisms OF the team because of this
change, saying that Bean has been
playing such a good game at end
that he should not be changed.
Bean is coming TO be the Most
valuable man Oh the New Britain
team. He was formerly with Yale
and at that time, he was not an end
or a line man. He WIS a hackfeld
man and a good ono. Since that
time. he las filled in on almost every
place on the team. His play at end
this season has been marvellous and
there is no criticism of him for the
work he has been doing.
But here Is case where Now
birds with one stone. They are get
ting a highly rated end 10 play and
at the same time are shifting one
Of the best tackling men seen on
New Britain field, Bean is. If any
thing, a deadly tackle. He hardly
ever misses his man. At tackle, he
will MI the bill lust as efficiently rs
he played at end or IN the hackficld
and We predict that thc change will
be a good one for The entire team.
Another important change in the
team that should SGT we'll with the
fans is thc shift of positions Of both
Neale and Radznwich, Ncaln goes
from halfback TO quarterback and
Radzcwich GOES from quarter TO
halfback.
This gives Ncale chance to direct
the team from tho linz and viii also
give Radzewich more of a chance TO
carry the ball.
We don't know if thn old time fans
will ssroe with vs., hut digging into
our memory tho cthc day. VIC were
trying n piaTn Rad5Nwich, who DO
resembled while carrying the bail
and all such.
