Tomorrow at o'clock at the
,velodrome in East Hartford will
start the professional football classic
of the state when the All-New Brit
sin football team, led by the in
domitable Captain Eddie Barnikow,
"I}ed Grange" OF Connecticut, meets
George Mulligan's Hartford Blues In
the first game of q two game series
for the championship Of Connecticut.
To say that this will be a gridiron
battle to compare with the greatest
classics staged throughout the coun-
try this season, is putting the state
ment mildly. The teams are rivals
OF undated standing. In fact, the
rivalry between Hartford and New
Britain in sports is traditional and
whenever two teams from the two
cities meet, the contest is always one
for blood
Both New Britain and Hartford
will strut their strongest lineups on
the field for tomorrow's clash. New
Britain will send the most power
full eleven it has collected together
in years against the National league
entry in the Capital City, and two
teams with stars Of great magnitude
in their bacbfield, will battle it out
for the supremacy which, though
mythical. brings out the best foot
ball in both teams.
A record crowd for the season for
both teams will be on hand with
any kind of break in the weather.
New Britain fans will be out in
force as tickets have been on sale
all week at Patsy Bridgett's Smoke
Shop on Church street. During the
past few days, these have been
selling fast and as 1000 of the choic-
est seats in the Nelodrome have
been sent to New Britain, the dele
cation that goes to the park from
this city will form a cheering sec
ton. on the south side Of the arena.
The kickoff tomorrow afternoon
will take place at . O'Clock The
hour has been advanced because of
the fact that the evenings draw on
SO quickly that It might be found
difficult to finish the game in the
allotted time. Both teams are eager
for the fray and a mighty battle is
expected to result when the elevens
clash.

In every game of the season, with
the exception of the Navy, Fried
man was functioning on high and
victory came Michigan's way. The
{ Navy game was the only defeat OF
the year.
AS a matter OF fact, it was more
I the hurrying of his passes by the
Navy forwards and faulty reception
that prevented Michigan from win

Any doubt that ever existed as to
Friedman's super-ability on the
gridiron was erased by his marvel
Gus performance against Ohio State.
In previous engagements with
Minnesota, Illinois and Wisconsin,
Friedmans play had stood out, but
unquestionably the Ohio State per-
Torrance was his classic of the
season.
In that game he definitely quail

that remarkable contest with his
mental and physical greatness. His

On another occasion he elected tc

 Although the repeal of the an- thracite tax. as estimated by state officials, would reduce the states revenues By more than s9,000,O0O In a year of normal production, these officials were prepared to support the repeal in the belief that such action would hasten tho termination Of the strike. Members Of the "anthraeite bloc" formed during the 1925 session appeared in support of the repeal proposal.
 The same bloc is opposed 10 the repeal of the miners certificate law.
 All eyes in the coal producing regions were focused on these bills, but drew comparatively little at tention from legislations from out side the ten anthracite producing counties. Discouraged by this out look, non-rnining persons in the mining communities appealed dl- rectly to President Coolidge to take some step to bring about settle ment of the strike.
 At Wilkesbarre the school direc. tors association of Luzerne county in annual A session, unanimously adopted a resolution asking tho president to intervene.
