 That what works for one team does not alway do so for another was shown Saturday in the Bowl. A year or two ago. when Notre Dame came east to play the Army, it brought along a shift in which the backfield men hardly halted before the ball was passed. At that time the Army protested vigorously to the officials that the s'man in motion" rule was being violated, but their complaints did no good. Coach Biff Jones thereupon adopted the play for his own team, but it proved a bloom CT Saturday against Yale. The backs were ruled in motion practically every time the formation was at- tempted, about 50 yards being lost five at time on the resulting penal ties and probably 200 yards more on long gains which had been made on the plays but were wiped out by the calling back of the ball.
 If 1t rains on many more Sundays, we are afraid that we will have to turn to indoor Sunday sports to fill out our sport sheet. Just at the present time, with everything at standstill yesterday. we are figuring on how we can give the public any news when there isn't anything to write about.
 Yesterday was another good day for the All-New Britain foot ball team. Again the game sched- uled with the New London Sub-Base was called off. Yesterday, the sail ors didn't even make the attempt to come to this city because Of the threatening aspect of the weather.
 Ii certainly is unfortunate that the local management can't get the chance to get back little Of the money it has already sunk in the local team this year. No one De- srudges the men who have pro- noted the team this year the chance to break even on the seasons play. At the present time, with consider able iron men being among the missing. 1t doesn't appear as if the local team will recuperate its for- tunes in a hurry.
 Nevertheless, others In the field are finding 1t harder than New Brit ein. Take George Mulligan in Hart ford. for instance. Under the terms of the National league, his team nlays rain or shine. Yesterday ap- proximately 125 cash customers Wlt- messed the game between the Hart ford Blues and the Kansas City Cowboys.
 "Dig a little deeper" is appro- nriate music for Hartford. The management there goes in deeper every time it rains than New Brit ain does. If reports are true, it's going to be hard thing for the Hartford moguls to get back where they were, through football.
 We haven't any idea when a fair Sunday will come and we are just as anxious as the next fellow to see the All-New Britain football team play again. Manager Ed. Daley hasn't secured any team for a game for next Sunday because of the fact that he doesn't know how the weather will be.
 It may be showing next weekend. That's consolation for everyone to think about because if it does snow, football can be played.
 Manager Daley said today that he might have an announcement of importance to make within a few days but he wouldn't reveal what the nature of the surprise might be. We make a guess that probably something will be doing about a New Britain Hartford game, but we may be entirely wrong.
 George Mulligan made the state ment a short time age that no one had approached him on game with New Britain. He added that he owned the Hartford franchise and team and that if a game was 'to be played between the two teams, he was the man to see.
 He Is perfectly right and we haven't any doubt at all but that Manager Daley plans to talk matters over with him.
 or courst if there is a conference between Daley and Mulligan, that doesn't necessarily mean that they will agree to a game or series of games. It might mean something and again it might mean nothing.
 We hope that they will get to- gether because there Is nothing like a good talk to iron things out. Mulllgan can be depended on to lay his cards on the table and so can Ed. Daley. Probably if the two
