Tonight's Game
Referee, Dick Dillon

Tonight at the armory the National Guards take on the DiXies of Hartford in the second game of their series. A win by the Mats will even up matters and the boys are determined to win for after their defeat of last night at the hands of Middletown, 40-@4, they are more than anxious to re-estab- fish themselves as the peer of any team in this neck of the woods.
 In regards last nights game-the Mats simply were outclassed by the Middletown boys. There was a big crowd on hand in Middletown and they expressed great surprise, after watching the efforts of the Mats that the New Britain outfit should have defeated their pets earlier in the season. As q matter of fact though, the Mats were away off form and the Middletown boys, playing at the top of their form, played rings around them.
 The first half ended with 'he Mats having collected but nine points while the Middletown boys had reg istered 94. In the second half after Taylor had been put into the lineup for New Britain, the Mats played the Mddletown boys more evenly. but were not good enough to even approach a fife.
 A peculiar thing about, last nights game was that most of the scoring of the Middletown team was done by the guards, Strum, who played with d sore toe, getting five field goals. and Carlson getting three Heating at center got fonr field goals. The MiddletoWn forwards were practically helpless in the hands of the local guards. Murphy did not score in the first half, and got but one in the second. McCabe was scoreless in the first half and Miller, who replaced him in the sec ond half, got but two. Sheehan with two and Kilduff with one offset | this scoring. The summary:

'MEEHAN RANKS UP
 WITH THE KINGS
Is ''Little Napoleon' Of Football
 World
ey The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press
 New York, March 7.--John Fran cis Meehan, New York Uniyersitys new head football coach can justly be dubbed, "The Little Napoleon of Intercollegiate Football"
 One of the youngest of the major football coaches and Zone of the mst efficient, thorough teachers Of the moleskin set, Chick" Meehan, Is a man among men, teacher or character through the medium or foot ball.
 He has slipped from the cup of victory. He has dined from the table of defeat. And he has treated criticism and praise with the same attitude but behind that silent, quiet demeanor there is radiating personality which stamps itself with indcIible marks upon all those who come into contact with him.
 IL was in the waning days of the football season of 1923 when the steel of the Meehan makeup was given its most severe test. At that time Meehan was the guiding in- ifuence of an Orange eleven at Syra- cuse which had swept the East with a racing attack and bid fair to carry it to heights never before scaled by Ian Orange combination. Not 8 rival Jersey had crossed the Orange goal line. Ond only one goal had been kicked between its goal posts
 Alabama, Pittsburgh, William & Mary Springfield, Penn. State and Boston University had faltered be. fore its furious attack, and ther came Colgate, d imc-honored rival
 History records that the Maroon tornado swept its Orange foe before it, trampling across it's virgin goa line reaping a harvest in a startling 16 to triumph. Syracuse wa: shocked at the result. The babbint tongues of criticism wagged theil messages in no uncertain fashion bu the little Napoleon" carried on il the face of the bitter criticism iron the "grandstand coaches"
 A journey to Lincoln, Neb., for { tilt with the University of Nebraska 1 faced Meehan after that disastrou! Maroon victory. Undaunted by tn. unrec csonable criticism that wal li G1 Ct him nn han picked up the rem nants of { shattered eleven, mended its morale in a highly diplomatic manner welded together a new unit ant tossed 1t into the lists against a rag ing cornhusker rival which only tw, weeks previous had shattered tn rising ambitions of a troop of horse men from Notre Dame.
 History again records an upse when the Orange triumphed over 1t western rival. : to O. and ended tn season in a blaze of glory.
 When New York university starte, on a hunt for a football coach tn focus of the powers behind tn Niolet's athletic destinies settle, upon Meehan and called him iron his alma mater to open up a nev era of athletic activity at metro politan institution. it's spirit shat tered by it's geographical location and it's athletic prestige ranked wit the humble.
 And Meehan responded with hi characteristic willingness.
 You open hole in the line am I'll gain the yards" was his onl dictum.
