 We understand that there is an unprecedented demand for students tickets for the New Britain High Hartford High football game this coming Saturday and that this de- mand has not been created through the student body alone. It appears that the difference of quarter between the price charged the stu dents and that charged the general public, has started a panic of grid fans 10 those who are attending the high school in an effort to secure tickets for the price charged the students.
 Everyone likes a bargain when one is offered but in this case, where the students at a school who arc rightfuly the preferred spectators While we think that the students team Is to engage, the general pub lie should not try 10 horn in at the gate for reduced price.
 We know of many specific in stances wherein outsiders have se- cured these tickets through the stu dents and there are many more. While W think that the students should get the preference in re- duction in the price of admission, we believe that there shouldn't be | any others allowed to purchase tick cts until they pay the same price ' a. others will have to pay.
 The game will start Saturday af- ternoon at o'clock. New Britain 1 will be the underdog and Hartford ! the favorite but anything is likely | to happen.
 Basketball fans were surprised Saturday night when Conklin Of the | All-New Britain Football team, took l the floor in center for the local ! quintet. Conklin's work wasn't Dad ! at all after five years away from | the court game.
 He formerly starred on the An sonia High school quintet and since | then has had plenty of eHperlencc in playing professional rules. AS soon as the football edges are 1 smoothed off, he should develop lh- | to a good coz in the machine Of the | local team.
 At center, he has the advantage i of height and reach and when he . gets his eye trained on the basket, | he should be a big point scorer
 Jeary. another addition to the , team this year, flashed a world Of ! speed and Clevtrncss. Whatever may , have been missing in the line or players on the team has been filled in. in the back court at least, by tho former Fordham flash. He IS efficient on the football field and he certainly should star on the basket | ball court.
 The rest of the team worked won l dors in the first game. Sloman ana Rubcnstein were flashes of light | ming while Sturm and kilduft | showed mid-season form.
 'Butsy" sturm has been named captain of the team this year and . his choice should be a popular one. , "Rutsy'' since coming to New Brl- tain has developed into star and he is on his way to a great season.
 sturm's work yesterday in the | football game in Bridgeport was or the highest order. He made three ,ouchdowns but his work on both | the offense and defense was simply great.
 Charles E. Mahoney, football writ CT on the Bridgeport Waterbury Herald stated yesterday that he has seen Harry Stuhldreher and other stars in action at the quarterback position but in his opinion, Red Graham has them all stopped mile.
 Brideeport, after leading to in the first half, really thought It was going to win. That was before the local steamroller got into ac- ton.
 In the second half of the game the Bridgeport tacklers were 50 anxious to put the New Britain players out of commission that they were knocking themselves out lm- aeine Thompson and Zev Graham putting out three and four zoV pounders on a tackle.
 New Britain will most probably play the Hartford Giants next sun day afternoon. There is sure to DC plenty of fight in this game and 1t will bring out the best crowd Of the year, 1t is thought.
 A series of games will most pro- bably be played since the Giants yesterday downed the All-Hartfords for the second consecutive time and thereby won the city championship of Hartford.
 "Keck" Parker got in bad yes terday in Bridgeport by calling 15 yard penalty on a Bridgeport player for very evident interference on a forward pass thrown 10 Leary This didn't set right with the Bridgeport fans at all. However when Joe Waters and Charles Ma honey, two Bridgeport officials. le- vied penalties amounting to so yards on the New Britain team, the Park
