NEW BRITAIN HIGH HAD
 GREAT TEAM THIS YEAR
First Eleven Since 1919 to Win Every Gane on sched- ule-Some Think Past Combinations Were Better Eight Victories and No Defeats Constitutes Rec ord-NucIeus of Squad For Next Years Campaign
 Ten Lettermen to Return to School Next Season.

A review of the seasons work of the New Britain high school football team shows it to be champion Of the Triangular league and out in front among high school teams of the state. But it is below the calibre of many of its predecessors. It is the opinion of many that the great ma chire of 1924, the speedy 1913 champions and several other great teams which have represented the school in earlier days were better than the eleven that beat Hartford so decisively in the game played last month,
 It was the first team since 1912, however. that was victorious in every game on the schedule. The great champions of 1921 were defeated in the opening games of the season by the alumni team and the 1924 team with such stars as Henry Zohrer, Pat O'Brien, John Grip, Howard Belser, Howard Beloin, Frank Mccarthy, Red Miller, Nechon Deardorian, Henry Bojnow- ski and Ernest Neipp in the line up, was defeated by Taft Prepara- tor school in the middle of the sea son.
 Eight victories and no defeats is ason record for the team. The acloduie was divided equally be- tween four preparatory and four high school teams. The high school teams were Hartford high. New Haven Hillhouse high, Weaver high school of Hartford and Springfield Commerce high school.
 It is the opinion of many of the alumni body that next year instead of scheduling games with prepara- tory schools or out-of-state high schools. it would be better to get games with school teams in Connec- ticut cities. namely Bristol, Water bury. Ansonia, Stamford, Naugatuck, Willimantic, (Windham) and Meri- den high schools.
 With l g victories over Hartford as an all-time record, the school is looking forward to next year when it will strive for it's goth victory. Pros- poets are brighter than they may seem even though only two of the frs. regulars are left. Graduation in February and in June will take the entire first backfeld consisting Of Captain Claire. Matulis, Zaleski and Fcnglcr and five of the seven line men as follows; McGrath, center; Bruce, guard: Anselmo and Broom berg, tackles and Gordon, end. Two members of the second team sback- field. Holger Carlson and Albert IIavlick will be lost to the team through graduation.
 The men who will form the nucleus of next years team are Louis Landiuo, Edward Sowka, FL mer Swanmon ando Michael Grip, substitute backs on this years squad and Edward Hennessey who is plan ming on returning to school in Feb ruary. The line prospects are Fred Zehrer. Joseph Netrano, Edward Conley, Joe Pape, Clifford Bell George Cherpack and kaduskavs Arzylowicz, ends; Anthony Nevulis, Edmund Novak. William Kuhs and Vittie kolosky, tackles; John Brick son, Dave Croll, Everett Anderson and Abe Ribicoff. guards; James Scully and Anthony D'Avanzo, ccnters.
 Ten lettermen, Zehrer, Erickson Landno, Scully. Conley, Novak, An derson, Ribicofi. Nevulis and Ne- trano will be back next year.

ATHLETES AND LIQUOR
"FlowinS Bowl" No Fit Companion for Youth Seeking Honors in the Sport World.

The flowing bowl' is no kind of q companion for a youth who is out for honors in sports, Dr. Otto Pelt- ger, Germany's champion middle distance runner, told the German Union Against Alcohol.
 "But you have got to approach the athlete not with the argument that indulgence in it is injurious to his general health, but that at will initiate against his success in com. petition.' he argued. "The idealism of sport should be kept always in the foreground. The youth in nSininG must be shown how indis- pensable it Is for him 10 abstain from alcoholic beverages if : e wants to keep in condition and stand a chance of winning."

The National Guard basketball team will tackle the Meriden Jn- silco quintet on the state armory floor on Arch street tonight. With the Guards hitting on all cylinders and each player on the team anxious to make the strongest bid for the state championship and the Insilcos with string of victories to the good. the fans tonight are in for one of the hottest games this season can produce.
 The rivalry between the teams is of the red-hot variety. It was only a few years ago that the Insilcos had leading team in state court circles and was responsible for knocking New Britain right out Of the picture. The MerideniteS con- fidently expect 10 add another notch 10 their artillery tonight after they are through with the Guards.
 The Insilco team this year is lated as tine strongest five to repre- sent the International Silver Co. in recent years. Besides being com posed of five men whose basketball ability is of the highest quality, the combination is smoothly working one that make strouble for the best of them. Sam Pite's Collegians. rated among the top-notch quintets in the state, won victory over the Silver City quintet. but it vas only after the hardest kind Of a fight. This was among the first games played by the lnsilcos and 1t is doubtful whether the New Haven crew could duplicate the feat again.
 Evans and Hurwitz, two former members of the Atlas team Of New Haven. are now with the Meriden five. Evans Is a shifty forward who is thorn In any guards side. Hur- witz Is one of the fastest, lanky men on the floor and can shoot with the best of the playtrs in the state. Paired with Evarr in the front court will be Teagle, Meriden product :. who has been burning up'the courts this season. Ruehl. the leading center Of the New Haven Industrial Lague, will alternate with Hurwi,z in the pivotal position. Wendell. one Of the most coluful characters n Connecticut basketball, is a former Cornell man and he plays guard regularly with sam Pite's team. Mccarthy another Silver City star, rounds out the five.
 Against this outfit. Manager Clarence Lanpher will hurl his best team with Slomm and Taylor at forwards, Reynolds at center and kilduff and Sheehan at guards. Jasper, Gierochowski and Sturm will be in reserve.

When Southern California meets Notre Dame at Los Angeles today, the coast eleven will meet reju- venated aggregation that will be all set to wipe out the unexpected de- feat at the hands of Carnegie Tech.
 So little did Coach Knute Rockne regard the outcome of the Carnegie game, that he failed to make the trip with his team, attending the Arlny and Navy game at Chicago instead.
 ,Notre Dame will be pushed to the limit by Rockne to prepare for Southern California. The famous coach looked forward to having his team named the national champs, but this was upset by Carnegie's surprise victory.
 The Notre Dame Southern cali fornia clash should prove one of tho most interesting of the year, a real test between west and coast football.

Lakes bay, once listed among
the important oyster and clam
grounds in South Jersey, but
closed to those in that business
by the State Board of Health OF
late years when a breakage of
the old sewer main allowed sew
age to seep into the bay, will be
open to that industry sometime
next month, according to Frank
Bruce, superintendent of the dis
posal plant.
The new main, which will con-
duct sewage from the disposal
plant across the meadows, where
1t will be dumped in the thoro-
fare at Atlantic City, will be CON-
pleted the middle of the month,
Mr.. Bruce reported.
The bay was condemned by
State Board of Health ~tfcials
over three years ago, wnen they
made an inspection and discov-
cred that an old wooden main
which had been used to take off
the sewage had sprung a leak,
and it's contents were emptying
into Lakes bay.
They at once ordered all oys-
termen, clammers and crabbers
to stop taking shellfish from the
waters of the bay. Those who
have been in the oyster business

Suit With Long Jacket
Proves Winscme Style

Much has been said of the vogue OF
the cape ensemble and of the mannish
taIlleur, with it's short trim Jacket and
equally short trim skirt. Both types
are seen In considerable numbers al
every gathering of smart women
There ls however, another type which
as vet Is a bit more exclusive and has
not been taken up by the general femi
nine public.
The suit, composed Of coat reach
ing almost to the hem of the straight
short skirt, has among It's advocates
women noted for their keen apprecia-
ton of fashion values, and one sees 1t
against a most satisfactory back
ground when 1t appears on the deck
of a transatlantic liner.
As rule suits of this type are made
of novelty tapestry designs, and their
soft-toned hues are set off by a shawl
collar of fur in a harmonizing tone.

since then have secured their
bivalves from sections outside Of
the bays waters.
The contract to build the new
main, which was started in the
spring, was awarded to Daniel s..
Bader, of Atlantic City, April 6,
for $35,4S0. Some feeling was
shown by the Atlantic City Off
Gals because of the plan to use
the thoroughfare. Backed by the
State Board of Health, objections
of the resort mayor were over
come, and work was started on
the new main.
At the present time about 81
miles of pipe has been laid.
With the ban lifted, the bay is
expected to be returned to it's old
favor, and to be the scene of the
fishing and swimming parties for
which, in the days before local
sewerage, it was noted.
1t is expected that it will be a
number of years before oyster
men again start planting. Before
the ban is lifted, one Of the State
Board of Health will make thor
ough inspection of the new main.
Since the ban a number of the
old oyster and clam houses on
the bay shore have been allowed
to become demolished by the tide.

Shadows of the CITY
By EDWIN BALMER and GENE MARKEY
Copyright by W. G. Chapman)


OF course the demi-monde was rep
resented in that large inner hall Of
Cleahy's where hundred tables with
places for four or six at each, clus-
tered about the shining dance-foor.
Such, upon this January night. was
Cleahy's, where music was playing as
Doctor Darand entered beside Plain
Clothes Officer Furgrister. The wide
oblong of the dance-floor was half
filled, although it was little after nine
o'clock; for Cleahy made a speciality
of dinners and had as famous a chef
as there was In the city. Most of
the couples now dancing probably had
dined here; and this speculation
caught Bertram Darand with sharp
poignancy as he recognized upon the
dance-foor Kitty Hewitt in the arms
of Eddie the Immune.
Then Bertram heard the blonde
Miss Fisher speaking.
you came quick. Len" she said
to the pain-clothes officer
Il like to be in time, Kate" said
Furgrister, fitting back In his chair
and lighting another cigar.
"Shall we dancer" murmured Doc
tor Darand to the pretty girl at his
side.
"Td like to-" she said.
AS they moved out upon the floor,
he saw that Kitty Hewitt and Pellen
were not leaving their table in the
corner. But Kitty Hewitt gazed at
Bertram and nodded to him, then she
glanced at the girl with him and
nodded more slightly, whereupon
Sallie Keller inclined her dark head.
Pellen still paid no attention to Fur
grister or Bertram. or to either Of
their partners.
You know herr" said Bertram as
they danced.
"Sure | know her" said Salie Kel-
Ter.
"You know him."
Sure | do"
Adroitly Berlram steered her
through the maze of dancers to a va
cant corner of the floor that they
might talk without being overheard
What's on here tonight?" he asked
What would you think would be
on after" Sallie said suggestively
and stopped.
After what" demanded Bertram.

'Eml's?" said the youth at the

Make 1t snappy," ordered Furgris-
Ter, and the driver started at 1t so
mappily that Furgrister bounded
against Bertram as he seated himself

"Cleahy's, you said"

Furgrister chewed his cigar and
shook his head. "You'll see, doctor

Bertram sat back In his seat be-

Cheer filed Officer Furgrister; with
each mile clicked off by the cab he
showed himself more and more graft
fed with his anticipatlons; but his
satisfaction never made him more
communicative. In contrast to him,
with each mile Bertram Darand be-
came more filed with foreboding.
Thus, after half an hours ride to-
gether, they came at last to the white
pillared gay facade of Cleahy's cafe.
At their elbows entered eager, hon

kept his hands palm downward upon

If she made an answer. Bertram did
not hear it,

snatched at her.
With choking sound, Pellen
lunged forward. Then Kitty Hewitt
was beside him; grasping his arm,
trying to pull him away, pleading with
him. But he flung her aside; and as
she stumbled from the force with
which Pellen had thrown her off, Doc
tor Darand stood up.
He realized only as he saw her
catch her balance a couple of yards
from her table that the girls next to
him were scurrying aside. Just then
Furgrlster leaped out Of the way, and
in that instant shots roared-one and
