M,.nbcrs or the New Britain High school football squad are being put through hard daily drills this week so that when the game with New Haven Hultouse High school is called in New Haven Friday after noon. they will be in the best pos sihle condition for the contest.
 It will be a battle between two nndefeated teams. New Haven has defeated the Merden High school team 6 10 0 and the Crosby High school team Of Waterbury. 2G to 0. Its goal line has not been crossed SO far this season. New Britain defeated Pittsford High school 20 to and Weaver High school of Hart rord, to 9, The two points were the result Of a safety scored against Quarterback Louis Landino who all lowed himself 10 he caught behind his own goal line in an effort to slave off defeat. New Britain has scored total Of 27 points against 52 for its Elm City rival.
 Like New Britain, New Haven has only two veteran regulars left from last year, but it had a number Of good substitute veterans who have come through to put the team over as a winner.
 Every New Haven paper is sing '. team. Predictions are freely made that the Elm City High school will carry away state honors this year,
 The man New Britain will have 10 fear will be "Wildcat" Wilson. a streak on his feet, a clever broken field runner. a Wond derful receiver of forward passes. and one of the two veterans from last year. He is the acting captain and left half back. Joe Vetrano, New Brtain's his Saturday and the teams sue cess will depend 10 a great extent on how we'll Joe checks the New Haven star. The other veteran reg ular is Dresser, who plays right guard.
 GiIdea, the right half back. is heavy and is one of the teams leading hatterng rams. Corrigan, the full back, is another strong man who figures as the final link in deceptive triple pass which brought gain after gain for New Haven and at one time brought a touchdown for the Elm City team against Crosby High school. Crosby High could only make two first downs against the New Haven line The Elm City eleven collected eight first downs during the game.
 At one time during the fray, Wilson took a punt on his own 57 ward line and found his way through 10 Crosby woUld-bc ta"llIers to Cros- by's 30-y yard line. He has a gallop that the Crosby team could not fig ure and he was down and m seN- cral times before he was finally held during some Of his runs.
 At fist if was doubtful whether or not the game would be played Fri day. Coach George M Cassidy scheduled the game for that date thinking it was teachers conven- tior day. When it Was found that tho day was one on which the hoys should b. in school. p.r"'i:sior was asked Of the school officials 10 all low in" boys thc afternoon off. Principal Slada has ruled that th" nrst eleven and as few suhstitutos as possible De allowed to make tn" trip.
