At last it has come. Al-New
Britain and tho Waterbury Blues
will mix It up In real old fashioned !
football game on November II ut
Clarkin field in Hartford. Arrange |
ments between the two managers |
were made last night and after the |
contract is signed today, there will
be nothing in the way of the two
teams going at 1t for the champion
ship of the state.
The decision Of the West Sides OF !
Hartford to quit the professional |
football field this year, is blow to |
he sport in this state and some are
inclined TO think that It spells doom
for the sport In this city, We have
no knowledge of what effect 1t will |
have on New Britain but with Null
lgan taking his team into Hartford !
the field will be pretty well overrun
in this section.
There Is something about New
Britain that George Mulligan doesn't |
like. He absolutely refused to come
here TO play the first game and the
upshot of the entire affair Is that
both the game on the 18th and the
game on the goth will be played in
Hartford.
The fans OF this city are bound 10
kick over this announcement as 1t
surely is slight to the fair name of
this city that Hartford is to get the
game that rightly belongs here. How
ever, this will be another incentive
for the local team 10 go in and beat
the highly toutcd state champions of
last year.
These two meetings between ALL
New Britain and the Waterbury
Blues Hartford Blues Uor that's
what wei have to call the team
will settle tho question of the state
championship for this year. The
contract has a clause in it whereby
If each team wins one game, third
will he played, the details TO be an
nounced later on.
This will probably be the greatest
attraction in professional football
circles in this state this year. There
has been SO much pickering be-
tween New Britain and Waterbury
over a game that the announcement
that an agreement has already been
reached means that New Britain will
get shot at the state title and the
signs point to real scrap.
The question of a split on per
Ccnagc basis has been satisfactorily
settled and New Britain has won a
victory in this respect. Mulligan
wanted GO per cent both here and in
Waterbury and he's not getting 1t.
The officials for the games have
been selected and are the best possi-
bic. Eddie Hart, Waterbury official,
will be one, Emile Jacques who has
worked for New Britain this season,
will be the other and as neutral
arbitcr, Coach johnny Newell of the
Hartford High school football eleven
has been chosen by both managers.
This assures the fans who plan to
attend the games that there will be
no amateur officiating at the con-
test and the teams will be amply
protected in that fair decisions will
I've given.
I'd Daley. business director of the
All New Britain football club Is
around town today singing new
selection, entitled: I've got those
Mulligan Blues"
Daleys warnings arc not the re-
suit of a new product Of the pen or
Irving Berlin, but of the pen welded
by George MulIigan, Waterbury
sportsman and owner of the Blues,
who today affixed his John Hancock
to q contract by which the locals
and Waterbury will meet In two
games.
Bill Kenncy, son of genial Mike.
is home from l'ordham for few
days and it Is an interesting thing
TO note how the football officials at
the New York college view the New
Britain boys, Howard Bcloin and
Grip.
Fill says that Gargan, the coach
of the baclliield, likes Grip first rate,
but his weight has Handicapped him
somewhat in holding down a first
place position In the backtield. Grip
is hard worker and is flashing
good football on the field. He is an
alternate and is used whenever a
fast substitute is needed.
Ward, coach Of the liuc. predicts
that in another year Howard &c
oin will be a star and he also say,
that if the local hoy keeps up his
good work, he bids fair to be cam
didatc for y position on the All
American eleven as A guard. Tho
coach says that this will come after
- =.
