HIGH GRID SQUAD
 IN HARD WORKOUT
Forty Huskie Fighting for
 Places on the Team

three hours through the heat and sweat yesterday afternoon in a fight for II places on the New Brit ain High school football team. The boys, given extra time of 8 special schedule at the school, were drilled first by Eddie (Pat OBrien and then by Coach Cassidy in the var ious points of the game.
 O'Brien, who will leave for Cath olic university some time during the latter part of the week, and for the past year has been going great at Masse preparatory school, was left in charge of the team during the early part of the afternoon by Coach Cassidy, who had to attend a faculty meeting. He put the squad through kicking drills and the var ious phases of open field play. Then the coach arrived and the players were given practice In handling the ball and running in broken field.
 During the first part of the coach's instructions, the squad was put through setting up exercises. It is not expected that the team will hold scrimmages until the head gears arrive.
 Among those who tried out for the team were Captain EriCson, Reid, Sowka, Vetrano, Nevulis, Rcckert, scully. Hogopian, Zehrer. Cabela, Urban Nelson, Hinchey, Bell, Szabo, Arszylowitz. Landino, Pape Ramsey. Zaleski, Casale, Cor don, Grzybowski Saunders, Carlson, Rocco, Croll, O'Connell and Recano.
 Those who seemed 10 be showing up pretty well yesterday were Ed and distance in punts. SoWka was expected 10 be there in the kicking department this year but Reid q new man, is coming along fast and Coach Cassidy is already beginning to figure on him. He is a hard fight CT and should make it hard for oth- CTS in the competitor for q back field place.
 Cli1f Bell. an end on last years team is handling himself well this year. For about an hour he stood at the opposite end of the field and caught the punts of O'Brien while the two regular ends, Vetrano and Zehrer came down upon him. He managed 10 get by them on occa- slons with some heady running but on other occasions they brought him down.
 Szabo, a candidate for end, con tinues to show the speed displayed in track last spring when he show ed the way to others in the 100 and 20 yard daShes. Nelson tackled viciously. Landino showed good all- around ability. Casale, a new man is heavy and looks like a good line prospect as does O'Connell, a husky youth.
 The coach picked the following as a lineup toward the end of the prac- tice session: Jimmy Scully, center; Arnold Reckert and Hagopan, guards; Nevulis and Anderson. tackles: Vetrano and Zehrer, ends: Landino, quarterback; OBrien and Reid, halfbacks and Sowka, full back
 It IS probable that with O'Brien out of the lineup. Grip will move to and Landino will go to halfback. This lineup looked good and it will carry a lot of weight. Scully is much heavier than last year. Reckcrt is very heavy as is Hagopian who is looked upon as the find of the season Nevulis is lighter than the other members of the line, but he is a mighty good tackle and Captain Anderson. back rom season at Hammonassct where he was life saver, looks in better condition than at any time in his football career.
 Zehrer is showing mp well at end and when Netrano gets in condition he is expected to be a great run ming mate to Freddie. He is show 1 ng ability as tackler.
 SoWka and Reid are kicking well 1 and Landino is living up to what | was expected of him as a ball car 'icr. Grip is a much improved play | ar and if he irons out a few weak | ncSSes he ought to make place.
