WESLEYAN MEETS
 BOWD0IN ELEVEN
Red and Black Team Hopes to
 Win Last Game Of Season
(Special to the NeraldD

Middletown, Nov. 13 Coach Samuel Hill has spent busy week sending his charges through their paces in an effort to shape up the Wesleyan team for their encounter with Bowdoin at Andrus field this afternoon. Having lost both the 1 Amherst and Williams games, the Red and Black warriors are anxious to wipe out a good part of the dark brown taste with a victory this aft ernoon.
 Wesleyan's good showing in the face of defeat at Williamson last week has encouraged the coach 10 predict a victory today. The Red and Blacks furious drive in the final minutes of play which result ed in two touchdowns over a heav- fer team and which was stopped only by the whistle has shown that Wesleyan's driving power is capable of scoring points if it gets away soon enough. With Trinity, the Middletown team used that power to grind out 2f to 0 victory against q hard fighting team but against Amherst on October 23rd, the Hilltop squad did not quite make the grade in an attack against Lord Jeffrey. Whether today's en- counter will bring out that furious, hard driving push towards the oth- CT goal posts remains to be seen but Coach Hill and the student body are prophesying that 1t will be there from the first whistle.
 Tetley, Wesleyan's whrling derv- ish, will start at half with Osborn or Adams balancing the backf1eld. Harper will probably be sent in as fullback and Bittenbender Is prac- tically sure to call the numbers on the first play. Sigafoos will toss them back from center with Sillo- way and Ellis in the guard posi- tions. Van Buren. who has shown up well throughout the season will likely be cast as one of the tackles with Holden on the other side of the line. The ends. of course. as they have played superior football all season. will be Captain Steele and Lee, the pair that has made runi around their ends impractical | moves.
 Although the Wesleyan camp Is reticent concerning it's attack 1t Is confident of it's defense. The line has shown up well throughout the year, with the possible exception of the Amherst game. In stemming tn, breakers of concentrated att tacks made on the Red and Black bulwark.
 Interest is high in the final game of the season for the Wesleyan squad. It Is probable that if all goes well this afternoon, Coach Hill will deal kindly with the bench holders and several youngsters may be given an opportunity to muddy up their moleskins.

P0Lo ENTHUSIASTS
 TO WATCH MATCH
Norwich University and Hart
 ford Canaries Play Tonight

A large delegation from New Brit ain is expected to attend the sec ond Indoor polo match of the sea son at the Hartford Cavalry armory in West Hartford tonight when the famous Norwich University team, from Northfeld, Vt, meets the Hartford CanarieS since the Nor wioh University team has ardent supporters in this city who have witnessed previous matches in which this hard-hitting, fast riding outfit has participated.
 Tonight's match, which brings the Norwich cadets to Connecticut much earlier than in previous seasons has been especially arranged because of the football game this afternoon be- tween Norwich and the Springfield college, and the cheering section from the Vermont university, which invaded Springfield today. will be liberally represented at the Cavalry armory tonight.
 Norwich University is internation- ally famous for turning out crack cavalry officers and every detail of life at the institution is calculated to make the select few chosen to represent the college at polo into representatives of the game at it's fastest and best To see Norwich play is 10 know exactly how thrill ing as sport and how fascinating as entertainment indoor polo, played on high class ponies by expert horse- men, can be. At the Hartford Cav airy armory (formerly known as Troop E armory) the game is played under ideal conditions and the seat ing accommodations are such that every spectator, whether in balcony CT box seats, has a splendid view of the clever plays, close encounters and not infrequent spills that make up the game.
 The Canaries will start play with Robert k. Steiger at No. l, Richard Yorke at No. and Benjamin An finger at back. The Norwich polo ists will be Cadet Paul Mazuzan as captain and back; Cadet Roger Carlson at No. 1 and Cadet William Edwards No. ?, the substitute be- ing Cadet Frank Moulton.
 There will be a preliminary game between the Hartford Cavalry team and the Hartford Whites, these teams being composed of expert players of Troops B and c and other cavalry units at the armory. The preliminary will begin promptly at S:30 and from the moment the ref cree blows his whistle to start the first game until the end of the final chukker, there will be fast and furi- ous polo of the typical American type which is acknowledged by in International authorities to be the fastest polo played today.
 Tickets for the matches are sold only at the door of the armory, al though reservations are made on application to Capt. T. F. Noight |. s. Cavalry, at the headquarters of the 31Gth Cavalry at No. 12o Truln- bull street, Hartford.
 The Hartford Cavalry Polo asso- ciation, sponsoring the games which will continue throughout theswinter. is now affiliated with the National Indoor Polo association, Captain Noight, chairman of the executive committee of the Hartford associa- ton being a member of the eTecu- tive committee of the national asso- citation.
 Because of these connections, the Hartford poloisls will have matches with some of the most famous teams in the country this winter.
