 The All-New Britain football team will send >out powerful array of football talent against the Brooklyn Horsemen Sunday and in all re- spects, the eleven will be materially the same as the one which was to have been hurled against the Hart ford Blues today.
 Manager Ed Daley of the locals received word from Big Bill" War ner yesterday that he would be available. for Sundays game and he will probably be used in the game. Bill had his arm hurt earlier in the season but the injury was not as serious as was at first thought and he has been playing with his usual efficiency right along.
 "Shep" Bingham will also step out against the Brooklyn team Sum- day. "Shep" was in town yesterday morning and we talked with him. He stated that he was of the firm opinion that New Britain could trim the Horsemen and he would be willing to bet on them.
 "Shep" was released by the Brooklyn. management last Saturday and he came to New Britain yester- day thinking that the game with the Hartford Blues was on today. He was keenly disappointed when he heard that the series was off because he, like all the players on last years eleven. was anxious to stack up against Hartford
 In fact, though we know that the fans of this city have suffered big disappointment because the games will not be played, none were more disappointed than the players on the New Britain team. Every man was all set to get going today but in stead, the series lies in the dead past.
 The basketball situation is pick ing up in this 'city. Manager Clar- ence Lanpher is losing no time in selecting the hardest teams he can find for the locals to meet. On Thanksgiving evening, the National Guards will travel to Bristol to play the New Departures and the follow ing Saturday, the Bristol team will appear here.
 As we understand it, the Endees will be without the services of "Jiggs" Donohue this year, Dono- hue was the best jumping center we have ever seen and there isn't any one about here that can compare with him. His absence in the Bris- tol lineup, even though Risky Feldman and Jimmy Malcolm will be there, will be keenly felt. Crowley and Marchineck vii fill out the five.
 Sam Pite, former star of the At las five of New Haven, has gathered together a team of college men that appears to be stronger than the At las quintet This aggregation will also be seen in action at the state armory in this city during the com ing season.
 Evans and Botwinick will start at the for ward positions for the Atlas this year. This pair is dangerous at all times and makes a good nucleus around which the team can be built.
 Coach George Cassidy of the New Britain high school eleven is anxious to win from the Hartford high this year as one step towards retrieving the prestige lost by the locals in last years game. He will send in his strongest eleven to start the game against Weaver and if the expected weakness is present in the Hartford team, he will supplant his stars with the second string men at the end of the first half
 This movement will be made to guard against any possible injuries as Cassidy wants his best men in the best of condition against Hart ford.
 TheSteam has gone through the season this year the same as it did last only this year, all the games so far have been won. New Britain appeared tos be a favorite for the championship last year but that me- morable meeting with Hartford at Willow Brook park showed everyone that the dope was wrong,
 The Hartford high team is play ing the Hillhouse high of New Haven Saturday. Hartford trimmed Weaver 20 to while New Britain was beat ing Hillhouse 19 to and with each team playing the former opponent of the other, some idea of compari- son may be gained by the work of the teams in the gaines this Satur. day. -..
