 The Hartford Giants travelled to meet the Stonewalls of that city and made anything but an impress sive showing. AS New Britain fans remember them, the Stonewalls were not 50 hot" as a grid com bination. The teams played to a scoreless tie.
 Barnikow and Shrimp" Foley were the stars of the Hartford team and their work in smashing through the line was impressive. Barney always could hit line hard and we figure that his work yesterday must have been a flash of his old time form. The rest of the team couldn't have been very impressive.
 Coach Dave Dunn gave the mem bers of the All-New Britain team a lecture at the last practice session held Tuesday night on keeping in condition. Reports had been re- ceived by the coach that some Of the members of the eleven had been making 1t a practice to go out on parties staying late at night and otherwise conducting themselves in a manner that was certainly not conducive to good football condition.
 He notified the players that the management was behind him in the statement that all those who didn't want to play football with the team could leave and leave immediately. The New Britain squad must be made up of men who are going to keep in condition, the coach said. and if any of the players didn't in- tend 10 mend their ways, they would be dropped from the squad.
 The coach meant no one in par ticular and in an interview follow ing the practice, he would give no inkling of what he had heard other than to state that wild parties and football do not mix.
 With the squad as 1t now stands, Coach Dunn has plenty of good ma- terial to work with. Jim Manning, the Tordham star. who has long been sought as a member of the To- cal club, is now full-fedged mem- Der of the local eleven and he will be seen In action next Sunday.
 There are large number of other players who are seeking q berth on the local team and with plenty of material hanging around, the local managers are going to cod de to no one.
 The reorganization of the team following the Yellow Jackets games shows that the triumvirate is in earnest and there isn't any doubt but that the fans of the city will appreciate the fact that every pos sible effort is being made to have a championship team In this city.
 With the exception of Potts" Miller and "shep" Bingham, every member of the team is required to come to this city twice a week to practice. This will give the eleven two workouts preceding each game Starting Sunday. the local pro1oters hope to start on winning streaR that will last all season long.
 Pete Perakos made great come back in handball yesterday after noon at the Y. NJ. C. A. when, pair cd with Joe Hergstrom in the doubles tournament. he carried his partner through to take the match two out of three from the Joe Roche Bill Mangan duo.
 Peter is on milk diet and seeing that his football team is shaping up well. his nerves are al ease and therefore he was able to concen- trato on his game.
 The Roche Mangan team took the fist game q 10 IS but Peter, like "Red" Grange on the football field. came through with flying colors In the next two and with able assistance from his understndy. Jof Hor-strom. his team took the next two, co to r and 21 to 14,
 Roche claims he had bad "code in da he'd while Mangau says he has been stavinc Up late at night these two facts putting them of form. This alibi number may be re. peatcd but the refrain has gone stale, so says Perakos.
 The Atlas team of Greenstein and Levitt came 10 grief and was smashed on the rocks of three straight game defeat when E. Mas and Appell got going. The Atlas pail was left behind in the first game 21 to 1s, lost the second 2l to 17 and then fell down in the third 21 to IS Had the set gone three more games it is safe to imagine that Greensteir and Levitt would have tied theil opponents in at least the sixth game
 "Doc" Waskowitz and Johnny Contaras were scheduled to battle the Hergst rom- Perakos combination today. Although there is a big diff ference in the weights of the two teams, this doesn't count a grea deal at handball.
