 Danny Fitzpatrick. well known taxi driver. Is devising some new plays which he plans to introduce to some Of the big college football teams for next season. Danny was the discoverer of the famous cup" play used by Trinity In 1906 against Colgate. He tipped off the Colgate coach with tho result that the "cup" play could not be put into use and Colgate won tho game.
 Danny Is a keen student of foot ball and he will probably assist Head Coach George Cassidy in tho tutoring of the New Britain high school eleven for the fall campaign. He has picked out the flaws of last years team and hopes to be able to put Cassidy wise so that the next team will be able to correct all for mer faults.
 Johnny Grip, New Britain boy who is coming Into the sporting light at Fordham, is a candidate for the varsity baseball team. Grip play ed the outfeld with the New Britain high school team, but it a catcher of no mean ability. The candidates turned out to practice In the snow the other day and Coach Jack Golf fey thinks pretty well of him. Grip should make good on the team and New Britain hopes that he will,
 The other two New Britain boys who went to Tordham, Polts and ScuIly, both got into the freshman basketball lineup the other day and although they didn't do much while in the game, yet the fact that they were given an opportunity to show their wares on the team, proves that both are heinz considered as po- tential candidates for later years.
