 The All-New Britain football team has had little success in trying to secure a game for next Sunday and It begins 10 appear as if the eleven "ill be idle.

 The All-New Britain team was scheduled to meet the Hartford Giants Sunday, but because neither team has a field available, the con- test has been postponed. The Giants have been flooded out at the Nelo- drome. AS consequence. the Giants and Hartford will play next Sun day afternoon in the second game of their series, at Clarkin Field. Followers of college football in this city are amazed at the turn of events that have barred Caldwell from playing further with Yale. The fact that Caldwell played in two games with the Brown University freshman team in 1923 has made him ineligible under an agreement reached by Princeton. Harvard and Yale in 1923.
 This seems to most people a child ish action 10 take especially in view of the fact that this season was the first in which Caldwell has had the opportunity Of showing his real worth as a backlield man. He has been an almost sure candidate for All-American honors but he cannot play any longer.
 There is something sinister in the fact that this action comes just 6 few days before the Princeton game which would have decided the championship of the east. and the question of whether Princeton or Yale had the greater backs. How ever, a rule is q rule, and it appears that Caldwell is done as college football player.
 The All-Ncw Britain baske kethal! team is scheduled to open the sea son at the Stanley Arena next Sat urday night against the Alpines of Bridgeport. No announcement has been made by the Tabs regarding their first game which is scheduled according to report, to be played on Saturday, November 19.
