and the New Haven Commercial High school teams. Crosby High school team of Waterbury. Torring- ton High school and the Ansonia High school have been eliminated. At a game between Hartford and Wlndham High school of Williman- tic tomorrow, one more will be eliminated.
 Although the New Britain High school team in its present showing is below championship calibre, it is a team that shows promise.
 It has two successive preparatory school games before 1t takes on three rival high schools, New Haven Hillhouse and Hartford in the Tri- angular league and Weaver High on the eve of the game with Hartford.
 A victory over these teams would give the school the state champion ship.
 We don't know what kind of a title we could dig up for the All New Britain team now that the chances of playing Mulligan's Blues are in doubt unless it is State Semi Professional champions.
 This title is nothing to brag about especially when one considers that there are about two other teams in the state that are In this class.
 One of the teams will be the Sub 1 Base team that plays here Sunday 1 The other, we believe, Is the New | Haven Blues who proved to be a !, good set up team in the opening ! game of the season.
 Tonight is the night when Arch | street will be crowded with amateur 1 boxing followers. Judging from the 1 reputation of the boxers, the card to- l night should be equally as good as ! the battles of last Friday.
 Commerce high school team of 1 Springfield which met the New Brit ain football team in football last | Saturday is favored to win the open ing game of the Springfield cham pionship series which begins tomor- TOW.
 A Springfield paper before the New Britain game referred to the game with the Red and Gold team as a breathing spell before this game. If it depended on the New Britain game as a breathing spell, it will be breathless tomorrow.
 Real sportmanship and unselfsh- ness are the only way to describe Dinny McMahon's action In with drawing as Kid kaplan's manager so that the Kid would be able to get more attractive matches as a member of Billy Gibson's stable of fighters.
 Billy Gibson is one of the leading managers of the day. He brought Benny Leonard to the point where he was a successful contender for L the lightweight championship of the world and Benny proved to be one of the greatest fighters of all time.
 Shortly after he took Tunney into his camp Gibson had him on the inside track for the heavyweight championship of the world which Tunney won when matched with the titleholder.
 Now Gibson is back on the light weight ranks trying to bring in a new prospect for the title. Under his careful guidance. the light weight title should rest on the head of a Connecticut boy for the first time since the days of Young Nc Auiffe.
 McAuliffe like Kaplan retired un- defeated as champion of the world.
 The reversal of predictions con- cerning Yale since last t~ Saturday have been startlingly abrupt but fully justified. In spite of further J injuries to star players. Yale is to- day rated much higher than it was a week ago, a situation explainable only by the showing which the Blue made against Dartmouth. Picked as a sure loser in this contest. Yale showed such a quantity of its famed do-or-die spirit and such a surprising amount of first class ma terial. particularly in the hackfeld, ! that 1t came through with glory and is now considered one Of the strong est teams in the east. Pennsylvania and the two service elevens, the Army and Navy. are the only others 7 rated in its class.
 Brown, like Yale. is undefeated, but the teams 1t has faced have been weaker than those met by Yale. 1 while the victories it won over even those teams were by no means i'm preesive,
