'GOOD OUTLOOKFOR
 HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
Four Veterans Left From Last
 Years Football Squad

With four veteran regulars and a large squad of veteran substitutes and recruits the New Britain high school football teams prospect for a successul season seems to be exceed ingly bright. Despite the fact that the team has held only informal practices on three afternoons this week and 1t would seem like idle talk to speak of the teams chances at so early stage in the campaign it is apparent that the spirit is there and that followers of the team may be ready to see another team this year like the championship team of year ago.
 The team lost nine regulars from tire backfield with the exception of Stromquist, and the entire line with the exception of Bojnowski at tackle and Politis at guard. The latter will be moved to tackle, and Strom- quist will be shifted from fullback to halfback where he will call sig nals and run the team under the system that was employed last year. Bojnowski will hold down the left tackle position for the fourth con- secutive year. The men lost from last years team were Captain Zchrer, Grip, O'Brien and Belser in the backtield, and Mccarthy Dear dorian, Miller, Beloin and Neipp in the line. Coach George NJ. Cassidy will bank 10 considerable extent on the substitutes from last years team some of which are as follows: Lacava, Clair, Bennett, Gourson, Sculy, Clark, Bruce and Anselmo.
 Three new men who are showing up exceedingly well are Doc" Bray, who is new to the squad this year, being away from school for some time: Fred Zchrer and Frank Me Grath. The first two named have been going great in the backfield this week. Doe" is playing half back, the position he played on the famous 1922 championship team which not only took away triangular league honors, but also won the state championship that year. He is the only member of the team now in school. Fred Zehrer is broth CT of the immortal Henry or Zip" as he was known 10 followers of the team. The older Zehrer played sev- eral seasons of sensational football until he left school last winter. It is the hope of followers of the team that "Freddie" will meet the mark
 made by his older brother At the
 present time Coach Cassidy is using
 him at fullback, and if he keeps up his sensational play the position is his for the season. This is Frank McGrath's first season on the squad. He is putting up a great game at end. and should give Gourson and Bennett, the veteran substitutes or last years team a great run for the position.
 The team this year should be a fast one for it has seven members of last years track team among the lHGdlnG C1nQlIdlfS lOl PCnltiOilS' ] '~ list includes such stars as Captain elect Fred Zehrer of next years track team, "Yank" Lacava. Eddie Gourson, "Doc" Bray, "Freddie
 Bennett. Bliss Clark and Anselmo. Lacava. Bray. Zehrer and Gennett are out for the backf1eld while the latter two with Gourson are out for the end positions. Clark and Ansel- mo are leading in the race for guard positions,
 The first call for candidates was sent out today and no time will be lot in getting the team into shape because of the limited time le1t De-
 fore the first game of the season
