HIGH SCHOOL TEAM GIVES
PROMISE OF REAL POWER
Eleven Taking Form After Week and Half of Hard
Dri]ing-First Game With Suffield Preparatory
School-Same Line Being Used At Practice Ses-
sions-Backfeld is Both Fast and Shifty-Claire
to Be Used At HaIfback This Season.

After a week and a half of hard
drilling, during which the squad of
about SO candidates for the New
Britain High schc football team
was given a hard drill which in
cluded both the fundamentals and
the more advanced stages of the
game, fairly good idea of the line
up to be used may be determined
from the way the team has been
lining up in scrimmage during the
past week.
Line Men
According to the daily practice the
tentative lineup in the opening game
with Suffield Preparatory school on
September 25, will be as follows:
McGrath, substitute center from last
year, member of the basketball team
and captain-elect of next springs
track team, center; "Ferpo" Ansel-
mo, regular tackle last year, right
guard; James Scully, brother of Ro-
ger Scully, who was three letter
man Of last year and a member OF
the varsity squad at Fordham, left
guard; Bruce, right guard of last
years team, right tackle: Bromberg.
substitute lineman Of last years
team who played in his first game
against Hartford, left tackle; Cor
don, who started as a regular last
year but because of lack of weight
and experience was replaced, right
end; and Fred Zehrer, captain of
last years track team, captain of the
junior varsity basketball team, dur
ing the latter part of the season, and
brother of Henry Zip" Zehrer left
end.
Backfield
The backfeld that has been going
through the PAGES consists of "AT'
Fengler, at quarterback; Captain
Tim Claire. and John (Red) Matu-
lis, half backs; and "Huggy" Carl
son, fullback.
Fengler was a substitute on the
team when he left school in 1924.
He returned during the past year.
and was center fielder on the base
ball team. Claire played quarter
back on last years team but will
handle the team from half back po-
sition this year. Matulis was in the
second teams backfield last year and
is expected to do much in carrying
the ball this season. Carlson made
his first appearance in school ath-
letics when he pitched for the team
last spring.

Say you never can tell about
TINS hght racket, II was Jack
Dempsey talking. L had asked him
II he had any preconceived ideas on
the outcome OF his night with Gene
Iunney, II he figured 1t would be
short fight or long one, hard
night or an easy one.
NO you never can tell about
this hight racket he repeated. "A
lot OF times the easy fights turn out
TO De murder and the hard ones
are soft"

me.

fore l could hazard guess, his i'm
petuosity, as manifest in speech as
IN ring work, eXpioded;
wizard.
This was the fight, as the world
knows, in which the young west
erner conceded some 60 pounds to
the ruling champion and battered
him to fragments in three rounds,
thus acquiring the title.
Il expected Willard to knock me
down couple of times anyway"
went on Dempsey. Il was so sure
that l would be knocked down that
[ debated with myself whether to
lake nine or leap right up, if II
could, and tear back into him and
maybe catch him off guard.

well you know what happened.
had him whipped from the first
punch. He hit me with only one
punch that l remembered, a right
uppercut, that found the button.
I'm not saying that punch didn't
hurt because it did. But it wasn't
a knockdown punch, or even close
to it,
Dempsey then turned to the other
side Of the picture. He told how
he had figuEed Luis Firpo to be a
'pushover'' and how he had run
afoul Of one of the greatest shocks
in his career.
when l was matched with the
Bull said Dempsey, ~ said to my
self, Well, this is a cakewalk for
you boy. All he's got is a right
hand and he telegraphs that from
one end Of the ring to the other.
He ought to be easieir than Fulton
Now still think had him
doped right. He was a terrible
fighter and it was almost an accident
when he managed to land his right
hand-the only thing he had in the

CITY COUNCIL AND SCHOOL BOARD HELD JOINT MEET
 ING YESTERDAY

For the purpose of discussing the possibility of a new school building for Seward the members of the City Council and the School Board met yes terday afternoon It was the first joint meeting of the two boards in over a year. The outstanding fea- ture yesterday was the prevailing harmony and willingness for mutual cooperation and in this respect it will be the aim of the boards to in- terest the citizens of Seward in their present plans, that of the erection of a new school.
 It was suggested that such build ing which was outlined, and taking into consideration the natural growth of the city and subsequent increased enrolment, would probably cost in the neighborhood of s25,000 or ESQ., 900. The suggestion was also made that inasmuch as the city owns many lots it attempt and make a trade for property in desirable To- cation for the school. It is estimated l at least one-half a block of ground would be required.

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 24 GPl - Discouraged at the approach of Christmas and her unsuccessful ef- forts to effect a reconciliation with her husband and obtain a position, Mrs. Anna Woodward, a war bride originally from Budapest, tried to jump from the north end bridge into the icy waters of the Connecti- cut river late last night She was prevented by Patrolman Edward Lynch, who leaped from the run ming board of an automobile just in time to grasp her as she started to climb the bridge rail.
 Her husband, James M. Wood ward, said to be the son of a fam fly prominent socially in this city, was a lieutenant in the United States navy and met the girl while he was on furlough, the romance eliminating in New York city where the couple were married in the Little Church Around the Cor ner in 1921. He had been ordered to pay her SIP week and made payment today but refused to go back and live with her so she de- cided to end it all.

JAMES E. O'BRIEN,
 HE SELLS TICKETS
Job of Lions Secretary to Get
 Audience for FrOGC

Selling tickets to the public of New Britain is by no means novel; ty to James E. O'Brien, secretary. treasurer, ticket agent extraordinary and general all around member of every committee engaged in putting the Lions Frolic over. For this year s frolic however he has undertaken the task of putting over 5000 paste boards into the hands of purchas- CTS.
 Doc, Dick X Go.
 The special Booster issued by the Lions in connection with the Frolic every year is just about to close its forms after a short, sharp and suc- cessful campaign. The Lions share 0 fthe glory of this meritorious ac- complishment belongs to the one and only Dr. Joseph Potts, and Newington's first citizen Richard Er- win.
 The doctor holds the title of "Everybody's Helper" and the rare event of actually having public at tention drawn to some of his silent missionary work will probably bring the medical agriculturist to the at tention of great many people who are unaware of this side of the jolly doctors practice.
 Laugh it Off, Dick Erwin has spent so many years enjoying life and the art of laughter that his ability in getting big things done quickly and successfully is some times lost sight of. Nothing of any serious consequence takes place in Newington without the final o. K. of Chief Citizen Dick. and that seems to be the practice everywhere he takes hold. The Dick-Doc combina- ton working on the Booster actu- ally means success spelled in capi- tai letters.

Aside from the mention of Mcclure" "Feitelbaum," and loud cheers for "Clan Feitelbaum. mingled with hoarse exhortations of Fight, fight" nothing of conse- quence could be learned by the in quiring reporter.

GOULD HEIRS ID
 END FIGHTING
Decade of Legal Squabbe Will
 Be Concluded

New York, Dec. 24 LR - The New York World says that the heirs of the Jay Gould estate, once estimated at $S2,0oO,000. have de- cided to end legal fight that has lasted for more than a decade and is estimated to have cost in attor- neys' fees at least s3,000,000.
 The World is informed that a score of lawyers representing the children, grand children and great grand children of the founder of the Gould fortune, have arranged formal agreement among the litigants, and that final settle ment is at hand.
 The legal tangle was precipitated when the four trustees of the Jay Gould estate filed an accounting of their stewardship. Objections to the accounting were filed by the two youngest children of Jay Gould Frank J. Gould and his sister Anna, the Duchess De Talleyrand who charged their eldest brother George J., with mismanagement and declared his actions had caused shrinkage of s2O,OOo,Ooo in the estate.
 The purpose of their fight was to hold the trustees responsible to the estate for the loss and they sue ceeded in 1919 in having George J. Gould removed as a trustee.
 Among the points of contention argued were $4.25 bill for dog meat and s1 license fee for dog owned by Mrs. Finley J. Shepard, formerly Helen Gould. Various special and collateral issues were argued, including the validity of the marriage clause in the Jay Gould will, and the rights of the three children of George J., Gould by his second wife, who Is now the Nicountess Dunsford. to share in the estate.
