 FOOTBALL SEASON PLANS
Management Plans To Be In Readi- ness With Corking Fine Team To Open In Fall.

The All-New Britain football management is laying plans for the 1925 season, despite the fact that several other local men are reported as being in a mood to give a whir! into the gridiron sport, While the season is a long way off, the All New Britain management plans to be in readiness with q corking fine team to open the season early in September
 Dr. David P. WaskoWitz, who has done much toward furthering the sport in this city, will again play d prominent role in conducting the All-NcW Britain team. For the past eight years or more, Dr. WaskoWitz has been kcenly interested in the gridiron sport, and though he has often been up against the proposi- tion of playing his games on fields that were not fenced. he continued year after year, when there was nothing in the sport but lots Of work and little money.
 Now that the Sunday sports bii' las been passed as a law, there is some talk that others who hay , never been connected with the foot hall game, ar" anxious 10 break in and get the cream if trcre is such a thing. Dr. WaskoNit2 will have as his assistants David L, Dunn, a reputable lawyer in this city, and Edward J. Dailcy, who successfully handled the business end of the team last season. Gene Clcrkin will again be the clubs secretary.
 One of the first moves that the An-Ncw Britain management will make is 10 secure Memorial field. a Willow Brook park. The local clev- rn opanod the field two years ag1 and last season tho home games were played there through !he cour, tcsy of the board of park commi-. noncrs. The addition of some more seats al Memorial field will make tla park one of the best in New England.
