New Britain herald., 1926-10-09

Football fans from all over the state Of Connecticut, from Massa chnet,s and New York will gather tomorrow afternoon at Clarkin field in Hartford to see the greatest foot ball sensation of the present age dis play his running, kicking and passing ability against the All-New Britain football team. Red Grange who is co-starring with Eddie Tryon, for mer Colgate star, and his New York Yankees, will meet the local club in what promises to be one of the most gruelling of football struggles ever seen in these parts.
 Grange, known as the "Galloping Ghost" of the gridiron because of his peculiar knack of shaking off tack lers as they come flying at him over the field and Eddie Tryon, who in the opinion Of many of the critics of college football, was one Of the best backs in the game last year, will start their plays.
 Coach Dave Hayes Of the All-New Britain team has worked up strong defense against the Yankees which he believes will keep the two aces of the backfeld subducd during the game. He has knowledge Of the plays which the two used while In college and after the team has been secuted this afternoon in the game against the Boston Americans, any newly developed gridiron tricks will be ironed out at the practice ses- sion tonight and at q study period tomorrow morning.
 New Britain will be especially strong in the back1eld tomorrow afternoon. With the addition Of Ed die Barnikow, the Meriden line smasher and Andrews fash in himself, New Britain Is assured Of strength enough to plunge through the strongest line the opposition can offer.
 There are many in this section who believe that Barnikow is as great in his way as Grange has been in his. The difference between the two ig that Grange had the advan- taGe of parading his grid ability as the star ol q university team and received the attendant publicity for it while Barnikow made his name in the "collegc of hard knocks"
 Ed. Hunt, the Norwalk speed merchant. will be at the post Of quarterback which he filled co capa- bly In the first two games All-New Britain played this season. Donlon. the big tackle recently let go by Hartford, will be at tackle. fanked on either side hy Tom Humphrios at guard and "Unk' Connolly at end. This side Of the line will be exceptionally strong and the other side will compare favorablv with it with "Jumho' or Nanfeldt and Mur- pny and Hozheimer.
 The hackfiold will have a wealth of material in Rarnikow. silent John" Davis. Andrews, Sturm, Gris- wold Goldie and Adams. These are all fast men and after three niGht6 of practice will have their plays down perfectly for tomorrow's epic contest.
 Now Britain will he outwntghed in almost every department according 70 the statistics furnished by both camps but this doesn't mean thing 70 most people. Coach Hayes foels confident that hc will have his squad SO well drilled that there will bc no mistakes and he feels confident that he will be the coach of win nlng team after tomorrow.
