 There's a red light on the track for Hartford High"
 Truly not an inspired song, but one 10 which the rooters of yester- year thrilled as do those of today when the strains of "Bingo" or Down the Field" are heard. Inci- dentally, the red light song passed out of use about six or seven years ago and appears to be totally un- known to the high school students of today.
 1000 In Attendance
 Nearly l,000 persons were present when the whistle opened the game a large crowd for those days of small stands, for 1t was really i'm possible for even that many people to see what the game was all about. Captain Cryne of New Britain won the toss and the teams took the field. New Britain lined up as fol- lows: Flannery. le: Noren. It; Roach, lg; Cryne, c; Brady. rg; Cur tin, Tt; Mangan, re; Hart qb: Co., nolan, lhb; Wainwright, rhb: Cham berlain, fb. The last two men went into the game with injuries, lack of substitutes forcing them to play in spite of their handcaps.
 Before retelling the story of the game which followed. it may be well 10 sketch the differences in rule codes of 1902 and 1927.
 The forward pass was not legal in those days, and most of the plays were merely mass charges through the line, a style of attack which was made advisable by the fact that 10 make a first down it was only ncc- cssary 10 cover five yards in three plays. This made football look like q mob fight, but the game still had two years to go before the terrible season of deaths and injuries which finally resulted in tho adoption Of the forward pass a7d open play. The contest was play in two continuous %"-minute halves.
 Chamberlain caught the kick off and ran it back 1b yards, but then Hartford took the ball on downs and piled through the weaker New Brit ain line for five yards or more at every play. A tumble on .he ten yard line stopped the rush, and a second march was checked when a Hartford played crossed the goal and then dropped tho ball, New Britain taking the pigskin out to the 25-yard line. Using the tackles hack formation which Was later barred, Hartford made a third ad- vance, but the end of the half and Ene stopped it on the one-yard line.
 Hartford Rips Up Line
 The second half was different story. New Britain started off well on plunges by Chamberlain, Coho- Ian and Wainwright, but with 17 yards to go a tumble cost possess sion of the bah and Hartford started it's steam roller. Y ripped the New Britain line 10 Shreds and scored two touchdowns in rapid succession. Cryne replaced Brady with Nolan and the New Britain rootcrs gave the 1902 equivalent for the rasp- , berry to the referee when he pen ! aliZcd the locals because the New 1 Britain captain had been guided

District Attorney Out of Con-
 tempt Probe

Washington Nov. 1G tp=One place was vacant today on the com mirtee Of three appointed early in th" week by Justice Frederick l.. Siddons 10 investigate the Fall-Sin- clair mistrial with a view to lodg- ing charges Of contempt Of court.
 Al the same time there had come to light a difference Of opinion be- tween District Attorney PeytOn Cor don. who was active in pressing the grand jury inquiry, and Justice Sid dons, who presided at the oil trial and declared f ended after presen- 'ation Of affidavits charging that d member of the jury talked freely of the case and that Burns detec- lives were keeping the jurors under surveillance.
 In an exchange Of letters, Gordon yesterday resigned from the com uittee and his withdrawal was ac- ccpted by Justice Siidons. The courts action in ,nstitutug the iu- 1uiry, Gordon declares, should have been taken when the aIidavits were presented. At that time, he said. he and special government oil counsel were ready 10 prosecute for con- tempt, but since then he had pre- sented evidence 'on every phase Of the case" 10 q grand jury and had reached definite conclusions as to who should be prosecuted. Under these circumstances he felt that his position as a member of the commit tee was both Anomalous and incon- sistent."

BRAWN bIG FACTOR
 0N OLD TIME GRID
Battle Of Muscle in H. s. Clash
 25 Years Ago

Twenty-Five years ago the football teams or New Britain and Hartford hlgh schools met in combat as ca gerly and bitterly fought as the game which is scheduled for this after neon, but the traditional rivalry be- tween the two neiehborinp citias ras almost the only link Of resemblance connecting tho games of 1902 and 1927. For one thing, the rules of those days were vastly different from those Of today, for another the surrounding circumstances were not the same, and third distinction may be found in the fact that the game Was a preliminary and not climax 10 a championship struggle,
 New Britain and Hartford then belonged to the Trinity Football league, as did New Haven, AIerjden. and Torrington. Waterbury had been refused permission because it's tac- 'lcs were considered too rough and IL had shown in previous wears A dcplorablc tendency to use star alumni in important games. Hart tord and New Britain met in the 1irst game Of the league, and the winner Was to play through in an elimination contest until the title was decid'd. Ii was the first game or the rivals after two-year break ln their athletic relations and both wanted 10 win.
 The Red and Gold had been hay ing bad season. It had played five games, four of which had been scorcIess tics, and had won but one. The only taste of victory the play CTS had was when they met the Ken llWorth or Seneca club teams in mid week games. for on those occasions the high school boys came through The poor showing could hardly be blamed on the players, for they had no coaching which was worthy of the namo. A man who knew some thing about the game might take charge of three or four practices, or former captain of the team might help out the baclfield once q week, but that was about all the instruction the eleven received. de spite the hoWls of the stud ants and alumni for a paid mentor.

 The afternoon of the game came, and six special carloads of players and rootcrs set out from this city for Trinity field, Hartford, where tn" game was played. (NcithCr Clarkin field nor Memorial field had been conceived at that time. and the games were played on the grid iron mentioned above or at Electric 1ield) It was a joyful caValcade in spite of the fact that Hartford was known to have a big. heavy team, and the ride was taken up with dis Cussing the prospects Of the contest and with singing that ancient ballad which went:

Lex.-Tchula Game
Best of the Year,
as Old-Timers Meet

The Lexington "Old Timers met the
Tchula "Has Beens" in seven-inning
struggle on the baseball field yesterday,
and the "Old Timers" emerged from the
fray with the big end of the SO score.
The two teams are made up of promi-
nent baseball stars of by-gone days,
who are now engaged in the various
lines of business in the two towns, and
the game, while providing an evening of
entertainment for large crowd of peo-
ple and giving the old boys another
work out, also netted tidy sum for the
relief of the flood sufferers, in whose
benefit the game was played.
The game had been scheduled in a
spirit of fun coupled with philanthropy,
and everyone went out expecting to see
a farce. But when the players went out
TO practice it was seen that each of the
contending teams was good, and the
game that resulted was really one of
the best ever played in Lexington.
Heinrich, who did the major part of
the mound work for Lexington, held the
visitors for five innings, and for six in
nings only one Tchula player reached
third and two reached second. He was
relieved by Rodgers, who also pitched
we'll, holding the visitors scoreless dur
ing the remainder of the game.
Fielding stars for Lexington were Doc
Stephenson, who handled nine chances
with but one error; Tom Shepherd, who
handled five chances without bobble;
Pitt Shepherd, catcher, and Guymon,
right fielder. Mayor Nelson starred
at first and was credited with the only
extra base hit Of the game. two-bag-
ger which started the scoring. Other
Old-Timers taking part in the game
were Williams, Cohen, Povall, A. S.. Cum
ningham, Watson and Cass Povall.
Balm went the entire route for Tchula
and pitched nice game. Taylor, Tchula
catcher, held the base runner and got
man or two at second; Smith, third,
worked nicely throughout, while Guy
mon was good both in field and at bat.
Other Tchula players were watson
Chunn, Schur, Vandiver and Irving.
