MULLLGAN AND DALEY
 CONFER ON GAME TODAY
Hartford and New Britain Managers to Try to Iron Out Difficulties = Hartford Announcement Says Two Games May Be Played On Armistice and Thanksgiving Days-Torpedo Station Team Can cells Sundays Game-Final Decision At Noon.

Manager Edward J. Daley and Promoter Peter Perakos of the All New Britain football team were scheduled to go into conference to- day with Promoter George Mulligan of the Hartford Blues regarding the possibility of the local and Hartford teams meeting this year on the grid- iron. The local men will go into the conference determined. If possi- ble, to clear up the bad feeling that has existed and the fact that MT. Mulligan has announced the con- terence in the Hartford newspapers shows that he Is in receptive frame of mind for propositions.
 An article carried in a Hartford morning newspaper today stated that the managers of the teams were meeting today and that two games would probably be played, ono on Armistice Day and the other on Thanksgiving Day. Whether these dates will be decided on as final, will be decided on at the conference, 1t is expected.
 Up to the present time. the prob- ability of New Britain meeting Hart ford on the gridiron this year has been very remote. This was caused more by the fact that MT, Mulligan had not been approached directly and therefore had not given definite decision as to whether game should be played or not. Yes- torday, Manager Daley evidently had in mind a conference with Mir Mulligan because he stated that he might have an important announce ment 10 make within few days.
 We had guessed that he was going into conference with MT. Mulligan but today's announcement from Hartford confirms our suspicious All along we have seen no reason at all why the two men couldn't break through the barrier that was erect ed last year over the games played and evidently they have come to the same conclusion regarding the at titude of the fans towards them in their bickerings about personal feel ines and all such.
 Professional football in this sec tion Of the country is on the rocks this year so far. This is due more to the weather than to anything else. but at the same time, failure of the Hartford and New Britain arrangements 10 get together on games between their teams. would certainly do a great deal towards ecalins the doom--of the sport in this state
 Both teams make no bones about efatinc that they are fin the hole" Financially this season.. Both also admit that games between their re- spectve teams would probably be the only means of bringing the exchequer hack 10 normal The ar- nouncement that the mana gers will try 10 iron out their difficulties romes as welcome news to New Britain fans.
