 Coupled with today, tomorrow will make the biggest football weekend that this city has seen in many years because the All-New Britain foot ball team and Mulligan's Blues will met at Clarkin Field for the state championship of professional foot ball teams, Both teams are pre- pared for the stffcst battle of the season and both are regarded as evenly matched for the fray.
 The rivalry bctwcn the two teams has always been great but 1t has been greatly intensified within the past month because of the constant pickering between the managemcnts before the game was finally settled. From New Britain angle the rivalry with Waterbury has been doubled due 10 the fact that the Waterbury team has adopted Hart ford as its home territory and it is now sailing under tho colors of the Capital City.
 Without any doubt, the game Is drawing more statewide interest than any game in a great number of years and fans not only from Con- necticut but from Western Massa- chusetts are expected 10 flock to Clarkin Field. Estimates on the number of spectators expected to view the battle tomorrow are placed at between 5000 and 10000.
 New Britain is football mad. A few weeks ago, the team did not ap- pear 10 have much of q chance against the highly touted Mulligan aggregation, but since the eleven hit its stride, its stock has been boosted greatly. It was the victory of All- New Britain over the Atlantic City Blue Tornadocs last sunday, how ever that gave the followers of the Hardware City outfit the confidence that the am will beat MuIigan's stars tomorOrw.
 Since these few sctbacks tho team received in the carly part of the season, there has been added q punch and power 10 the backGeld that was lacking before, Dutch" Connors. formerly Of the Providence steam Rollers who was the hero of last Sundays game wherein he made two touchdowns. gives New Britain the necessary scoring threat to make 1t q great team,
 Paired with him in the hacklicld will be Thompson who starred in the first New Brtain-West Sides game in Hartford. These two half backs with that human hattcrinG ram, BarnkoW, forms a trio of hard smashing, fast running and efficient backs that can compare with any thing that MulHgan could assemble together.
 The interest of tho fans, however, the quarterbacks, Harry SUbllrr~ her, famous because of his member ship on tho tar-N"ruld,I Notrc Dame -Four II2rSrmou" last year. will he matched acains, Rad2"w'ch, Torrington sandlottrr and the Quts- ton Of which will direct the team to the better aH1anraG" Will he the cause of much spcrVHoion.
 MulHgan's EIuos has a trio of threats in th" harkoM also. There is Simendngor who has been star ring all season, Surm former Hart ford West Sides and "Dutch' Frc>t former Al-Brlir.port back 10 Mt New Rritains lno.
 A wonderful battle will he put up between tho two lines and nothing will be better to watch than th" scrap expected between Gjt.ra and Joe Rogers at c'u'r.
 The kickoff is scheduled 10 take place at g.3o o'rDocr and tN" o,ti- cials for the Eomo vlu m; E'rrr"r, Eddie Hart of N,mI'u; urIJr" Emile Jacques of Na'r, anI load nnesman, Johnny N'w5l o' I"rt- ford.
