Piainville, high schools midget football team offered sturdy re- sisiance to the regular Simsbury high school eleven yesterday after noon and held the visitors 10 two scores, losing by 12-0. The Sims bury team carried the ball across once In the first quarter and again In the thirds but on both occasions their tries for extra points were blocked. Between these scores the locals fought brilliantly, made fre- quent long gains, and showed grea. improvement, but their inexperiencc prevented them from putting over the finishing punch which would have brought touchdowns.
 The team looked ten times as good as in it's game with the New Britain high seconds a week ago. The boys profted much from this game and are over their period of stage fright. Yesterday Charley Diggle, who starred last year. was back in the lineup for the first time this season, playing fullbacl1 and making several fine tackles. IT,, team expects to put np another great argument when it meets the Bristol high school second team here Wednesday afternoon.
