GUARDS TO PRACTICE
Basketball Quintet Fast bounding
Into Tip Top Shape-OutlOOk Is
Bright For Court Game Here

The National Guards basketball
team will enter into another stiff
practice session at the state armory
Friday night. Coach Billy Dudack
is rounding the quintet, into shape
and reports from the previous ses-
sons held by the team and candi-
dates thus far state that the FIVE
will be better than ever this year.
1t Is highly probable that the
Fafnir basketball team that is en-
tered in the factory league this year,
will hook up with tho Guards for a
practice game either this coming
Friday or the following week and
at that time the fans will have an
opportunity to look the boys over
! and see what the material looks
f. like.
Large numbers OF candidates are
seeking places on the squad and no
cutting will be done for some time
as many OF the boys look promising.
The veterans Of last years quintet
are rounding into shape and by the
time the season starts, New Britain
will have a quintet equal TO any In
the state.

MACHINE COMPANY FORMS
ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
Permanent Organization VIII Strive
for High Place in Sports Held
In Past Years

The successful entry of the New
Britain Machine track team in the
industrial track meet this fall has
aroused considerable enthusiasm
and as a result the "Machinsts" are
coming back in various athletic ac-
tivties with the idea Of rcgaining
the high standing which New
Britain Machine company athletic
teams always enjoyed in the city.
Recently a meeting was held and
n permanent organization known as
the New Britain Machine Athletic
Association was formed with the
following officers:
n, c. Avery, president; William
Victory treasurer, and II. w. Lime
han. secretary; and an executive
committee composed of +. l..
Steinglc, e. A. Kraus c. II. Sweet,
William Lofgrcn, D. o. Swanson,
Charles Miller, Joseph Footc. James
Mahcr.
James Mahcr was elected manager
OF The basketball team, Charles Mil
Ter coach of the basketball team
and Joseph Foote was elected man
ager Of the bowling team.
A team has been entered in the
Industrial Basketball league for
this season and it is also expected
that the "Machinists" will again be
represented on the polished lanes
in the Factory Bowling league. The
girls bowling team will also be
heard from this year and possibly a
girls basketball team. Next year,
1t Is hoped to put a baseball team
on the field that will measure up to
ho old time New Britain Machine
standard.
A membership drive Is at present
under way and it is hoped to enroll
at least five hundred members as
active supporting members Of the
New Britain Machine Athletic as

Chicago, Oct. 27.-There are no
soft spots or breathing spaces for
the Chicago foot ball eleven this fall.
At least not from now until the end
of the season. Following the big
intersection brush with Penn al
Philadelphia Saturday, the Maroons
will encounter Purdue, Illinois,
Dartmouth and Wisconsin on sue
cessive week-ends. That's a pretty
tough gridiron morsel for any outfit
TO tackle.
But the Stage school boasts one
of its best teams in seasons this
fall and. with the willy Alonzo bent
on making his 34th campaign at the

west SIDES PLAY
HERE ON SUNDAY
Manager Mcintosh Strengthens
Team for Hardware City Game

It's New Britain against Hartford
on the grldiron next Sunday This is
usually an announcement that starts
the blood In the veins OF football
fans. The scene OF the titanic strug-
gle is scheduled at Willow Brook
Park, and the kickoff will be at ESQ
p. m. with the All-New Britain and
the West Sides OF Hartford the OPP
ponents.
For a time 1t seemed as though
the Frog Hollow club would not be
much Of a worthy foe for the fast
travelling locals, but following con-
ference between Manager Daley OF
the locals and Manager Mcintosh of
the West Sides, this idea was knock
ed into cooked hat, by the latter.
After the locals had trimmed the
West SIDES IN Hartford. two weeks
ago, Manager Mcintosh tied the we'll
known can to practically the entire
West Sides club, with a solemn pro-
mise Of never again" when It came

regard to the coming battle.
Not satisfied himself and agreed

week 70 get together an aggregation
that would combat the locals success

tntosn, refuses at this time TO give
any clue as to who he VIII spring but
ne VIII DO II, he claims
1t is a certainty that McGoldrick,
the former Lehigh captain who was
the chief source Of trouble TO the
locals at Clarkin Field, will be here
Sunday. So far this Is as far as the
writer Will go in a prophesy as to
lwho the Frog Hollow club will
spring. 1t Is absolutely imperative
for the success OF football In the
West Side club that the team that
plays here next Sunday will make a
showing, due to the fact that q
booking at Waterbury on Nov. s, Is
contigent on the showing the West
Sides make against the All-NeN
