The All-New Britain football team
had its first practice last night at
The state armory on Arch street.
The PLAYERS went through a stiff
workout under the direction Of the
newly selected mentor, Dave Hayes
of Hartford. Dave and the officials
of the club got together last night
and in very short time, had agreed
70 terms.
Hayes talked it over with the local
players first before he sent them to
work. He told them that they were
getting paid and so was he and they
we're to get their money for football.
He said that the All-New Britain
club officials were to pay them and
they expected football from the play
nrs. Any man who thought he could
stall around, was mistaken and he
wanted the players to understand it
before he took them in hand.
He asked every man what he knew
about football and what he would do
IN this and that case. Tom Humph-
ries received a big a and was sent
20 the head of the class because
Hayes couldn't stick him.
Hayes declared himself last night
by saying that no team could play
football with only Sunday morning
practice. He wanted to have the
team come around every night, but
decided on having practice three
nights a week.
Hayes also asked the players to
cet settled on financial terms with
the officials OF the club because he
feels that a team can't get any
where by changing bachfeld men
every week or two. He wants to
get team all set at the beginning
Of a season and then keep it to-
gether believing that this is the
only way to have a team win foot
First impressions of the new
coach are very favorable and with
out a doubt he will whip a team
together for the first game next
Sunday with the New Haven Blues
before the season is very old.
Joe Rogers was in there last
night with his old time form. He
is enthusiastic over the prospects for
the coming season and declares
himself satisfied with the coach and
his manner Of handling the team.
"Butsv" Sturm and "Hiler" Holz-
beimer are worrying over nothing
