LESS MENTION OF

 There still is plenty of room for the development of football, MaJor John l.. Griffith commissioner ot the Biz Ten and executive secretary of the National Amateur Athletic Federation, told the coaches, citing the growth in college population and the abundance of money as two fac tors which led him to believe that the peak has not yet been reached.
 'Foo'ba has become q greater game because 1t is a game which does not belong to any one class" Ma for Griffith said
 'I have a notion that mon get more finn ont Of football today than they did % years ago. Even if if were not fun, il would bc worth while as q check on the danger of the youth of America becoming weak and fla bby.
 Bob Zuppke, Of Illinois was toast master and kept inc crowd in an uproar with his shafts of wit, direct cd principally at Knute Rochnc Of Notrc Dame, another of the coaches noted for his humor,

Gid" Brown, who plays halfback on the local roller hockey team, is no stranger 10 Connecticut in the realm of sports. Reminisciug yesterday on the days of yore, Gid" revealed that he had pitched an en- tire season for Bridgeport in the old Connecticut basel ball league and occupied the mound against New Britain on several occasions.
 Gid" started with New Haven when Billy Lush. referee in the American Roller Hockey league, Was play 10 be used if man got on second base and it happened that while Brown was pitching. the oc. CLSion to Use il came up. The works went bad and the runner was safe .t third. This made Brown angry.
 On returning to the bench, Lush started 10 devote some time to dis setting the play and find fault because the runner was not put out. Brown, young and cNcitable then, turned around and told the man. ager what he thought ot his base ball intelligence. Right then and there he was fired.
 Lush then tried to sell Brown, but Dn ono ,rcI1I llIy hin, hpcallSr tbr managers in the circuit had heard of the row and knew that Cid was to be rYeased. Brown finally got his walking papers and four hours afterwards. O'Rourkc, man. ager of the Bridgeport team, had signed him up. He remained the rest of the season with the Park City team. Later he went into the Federal league and often pitched against tho Cubans. who used to play with New Britain.
 Brown was pitching for Bridge port at the same time that Chappie Ward and Reggie Brown were working on the mound for New Britain.
 Gid" has had quite some uNpcr- fence as d baseball player. Archie Muirhead was q catcher in the days gone by and he had no mea abil- fly as q performer. Bib Boucher is a star out1ieldcr and q good i,,1- ., pro player in Massachusetts during the summer months.
 New Britain WAS belted twice last night by Meriden, once in the roller hockey tender spot and then again in the basketball region. Another day is coming.
 X morning paper stated that New Britain didn't have a chance for the championship in the first half of the basketball league. This is erroneous according 10 the dope we have. The New Haven Atlas has to hrat Bristol in Bristol and New Britain in this city next week to have the championship sewod mp. New Britain meets Mcriden again Monday night and fans here arc hoping that the Hardware City quintet will show some basketball Snl win the game. If the local team again loses to Meriden. New Brit ain is out of the picture,
