 Last County Auxiliary Meeting ! Almost hopelessly outweighed bu
 fighting grimly in spite of odds, th
 Plalnville High school football tean
 opened its season yesterday after
 noon by losing a so decision to tn, i Bristol High school second team il
 q desperately waged struggle on tn, , Bristol grounds. The game. whicl 1 started at I o'clock, seemed to fayo, i Plainville during the first half, a. ! the locals pushed their way steadil, | down the field almost 10 the goa line several times during the open. i ing periods.
 In the third quarter the weight oi : the Bristol team began to tell and 1 from then on the diminutive Plain. vile eleven fought a game but los. ing battle. Bristol made a march which carried it right 10 the goal line, but here Captain Wiley's men
 braced and held their opponents for
 four downs, taking possession of the ball.
 Bergan attempted surprise pass
 but 1t was incomplated. Wiley then punted and Bristol set out upon an- other drive which finally landed it on the one-yard line with first down coming, Three times more Plain- vile hurled off the Bristol attack, but on the last down Bill Kane, Bristol halfback. was pushed through the line by a supreme ef fort for the only score of the game. The try at goal failed.
 The heaviest man on the local team weighed about 40 pounds, and the average was around l25 pounds. Despite this handicap, Plainyille put up a splendid scrap. and everything points to there being an excellent team representing the East street school. The lne-ups:
 Plalnville H. S.-Cheetham. r. e.. Buell.. r. t.; Simpson, r. g.; Smith, c. Bloom. l. g; Weber. l. t.; Gregory, l. C.; Bergan, q. b.; Kramer, l. h. b.. :: Captain Wiley, T. h. b.: Gauthier. i. D.; substitution, Wagner for Buell..

 Park Street Extension
 work on the improvement Of Park street extension will be begun short ly, town officials said today. When ihis extension was accepted, some tune ago, and its improvement promised, the property owners there on Were assessed for the improye- lHents, but no work has Vet been and the residents have been isklng some indignant questions 'pout where their money went.
 It was explained today that the 'electmen planned to tackle this street as soon as they finished r,- pairing the road and shoulders on amp street To have done both ops at once would have meant hjr- hS an extra crew of men. an ex- 'enS" which was felt 10 be unwar- 'anted. The Camp street project |! vas delayed by rainy weather, and 'hen It was completed Mir. Kim | heiS term as first selcctman was Irluaily at an end.
