TEAM READY FOR
 ITS FIRST CAME
Coach George Cassidy to Put
 Best Possible Squad in Field

Every effort will be made to put the New Britain High school football squad in the best possible shape Of
 the season for tho game with the fast Pitts'orl High school team of Yer mont at Willow Brook park in this city Saturday afternoon.
 Coach Gcor-" NL Cassidy is try ling every possible combination to get the best eleven out Of the squad.
 Last Wednesday Eddie Sowka was not present at the practice and Coach Cassidy surprised the large crowd
 that usually is on hand at the prac-
 tee sessions when he shifted Tony
 Ncyulis, tackle, to halfback; shifted
 Jimmy SCully from center to tackle .and put Frank Casale in at center
 When SOwka reported the next night
 he was put in at haIfrack; Johnnie
 Reid went into tullback and Ncyulis stayed at the other haltback position. The line remained the same as it was on the previous night
 ! is probable that Ncyulis will go back 10 tackle. Xaleski 10 halrack and S'ulIy to center and that Casalc who is playing whirlwind line game, will battle with Freddie Saun- dors for the right guard position. Both are playing great games at present and it is a toas-up as 10 the winner. Saunders is q tall rangy boy whose long arms are a wonder iul asset. Casalc is shorter and heavier.
 Incidentally two captains Of other teams are playing the guard posi- tons at the present time. Saunders will be inc basketball captain this winter and Arnold Ecckort, the other will be captain of the track team next spring.

 Frank Wachtcr, the "Old War HorSe.' is still on the winning end. He trimmed Ed Twitchcll yesterday Tn the secondhand" tournament three up and two to play. Ed claims that Wachter took an unfair advan- tagc Of him by using q magic nib- lick and he says that if Wachtcr will stay on tho fairway he will beat him. Wachtcr. however, like 4 prairie dog, likes 10 dig in the sanl and yesterday he got into the traps on four or five holes. something that would ruin anyone else, but Frank simply shot out Of the sand for eith- CT a one putt O. the customary two.
 Wachter will now play the winner of the Stan Hart Frank Shields match which will be staged today. phc winner will have to step as Frank has all the old croncs" of ihe club rootnng for him. Even Jim Robinson, who took q lacing from Nachtcr not so long ago, is pulling for Wachtor to win.

Tn" biggest upset of the year a | the Shuttle Meadow Golf club tool [ place yesterday morning in the tbirt round Of play for the club cham.
 pionship when Dave Manning, hold.
 CT Of two legs on the cup and favor. | fl" to come through and win tht l third leg for permanent posse Ssion was eliminated from play by Char i ley Davis by the score of one up. Manning was conceded an excel lent chance against Davis and the chances of his coming through to take the match appeared excellent. on the 18th hole, however. Davis. like Tunncy, after coming perilously near to being knocked out made a Comehacll and shot almost unbcat- able golf. Manning making a des- pcratc stand on the 1-th, being down two 10 his opponent, took the second last hole and left Davis to either take or tie the last hole 10 win.
 Both had good long drives and both put their irons to the edge of the green. Manning went just over the green and remained on the edge in no difficulty whatever while Da- ris laid the ball for an cight-foot putt. Manning came up for per feet drive but Davis put his first putt over th" cup and overran the hole about four feet. The lie was q difficult one because inc final putt was one of those curying kind that make inc game of golf difficult.
 Davis was equal to inc occasion. however and he laid the ball square ly 10 the pin and in she went giv- ing him the match and casing Manning out of the picture. Davis had count of S2 and Manning took an S4.
 W. J. Sweeney disposed of T. S. Hart threa and two. lip to the seventh hole. the match was a grip ping affair but from then on, Sweeney took tho lead. Hart was outdriving Bill by good margin but his approach and chip shots were miserable. In most cases. Harts tc" shots would have given him q commanding edge, but he couldn't approach 10 save his life. He absolutely dubbed almost every shot in getting 10 the green and through this Sweeney caught him and passed him. Bill made most Of the "broaks' and the match ended On the 18th green.
 A, T. SWoctScr made il day Of complet" gloom for the Manning family when h" smothercd Dave un- der q ( up and ; 10 play score. Manning shot very good golf but %Wcetser's eagle eye on putting gave him the big margin. Allan, they say, has secured a pair of arch sup porters that have given him steadi- ness on the greens.
 Ernie Baldwin beat Max Hayden one up in q thriller, It was any body's match to the final putt on the 18th green. On the lower nine, the lead sce-sawnd bacI and forth with never more than hole scpar- atinS them. On the 10th tee, both realized that they had 10 play their best golf 10 win and each man pro- cocdod 10 do so. Baldwin was con sistcnt but Max got into trouble once CT twice and Ernie edged out one hole to tho good.
 Scmi-FinaIS.
 Yesterday afternoon, the players staged the semi-finals. Charley Da- wis started out to make 1t another upset over Sweeney. Up 10 the 12th l. ole, he had Bill one down.
