FALCONS MAY PLAY
RANGERS SUNDAY
SemiPro Teams Start NeSOtia,
tionS for Championship Tilt

New Britain may have a cham
pionship football game to watch
next Sunday afternoon If negotiations
which Manager Ange Sataline OF the
Falcons team has opened with Man
ager Abrahamson OF the Rangers A.
day, are successful.
The All-New Britain football
team will play in Atlantic City next
Sunday leaving all open date here
in this city and 1t appears TO be
wise thing for the two managers to
set together, If possible, and play
game off TO decide the champion
ship of the semi-pro elevens Of the
town.
The game will have 10 be played
between these two, as they figure
that settlement will have to come
before the year is up, and If this is
so, next Sunday should he as good
day for the game as any. With ALL
New Britain away for the day and
the Falcons with the right 10 use
the field, no better date could be
picked for the local battle than Just
now, In the opinion OF many fans
the time Is not too early for the
game 10 be played. Former years
have taught the present day man
ayers that they are prone to lag
until around Thanksgiving and then
the date selected is a miserable one
with rain. snow or slush to hamper
the good work Of the players.
Should the two teams get together.
there will be an outpouring of fans
to witness the game. Doubt is cast
on the probability of the game being
played because OF the fact that the
Rangers have lost two Of their stars
through broken collar homes. They
are Billy Yankasl;as dashing half
back and Kolpak. sweet playing CEN
ter. These. however, would prob
ably be out Of the game for the
season and although both state that
they will be in shape for the Falcon
game whenever it is played, it is
doubtful If their physicians would
allow them to play Just after the
breaks had healed UP.
The Falcons are at top strength
although the layoff this past Sat
urday will have done them no good,
The players are all anxious, how
ever, to meet the Rangers as the
game will give them an idea Of their
real worth as a team. The Rangers
have been playing for several sea-
sons now and the Falcons have just
entered the football field. The two
teams on paper shape up pretty
evenly. The Rangers have n little
bulge in one department. with the
Falcons evening up by a little bulge
in another part of the team.
No announcement has been made
yet regarding the game, but many
are hoping that it will be arranged
and that the negotiations now in
process will be successful If So
It will be a battle of purely local
grid gladiators with fur flying in all
directions
No Game Arranged
Manager Satalinc Of the Falcons
tam announced today that he had
been in conference with Manager
Abrahamson Of the Rangers team
and the latter tol1 him that because
Of the injuries which the Rangers
squad suffered last Sunday. no game
with the Falcons this week would

that the two squads should be in
lip top form for the battle and both
agreed TO make the date for the
clash on or around THANKSGIVING
Lay.
Next Sunday at Memorial Field in
Willow Brook park, the Falcons will
play the Pioneers OF Hartford. This
team has made quite Q reputation
for itself this season and only re-
