NEW BRITAIN HIGH TEAM
 MEETS BULKELEY TOMORROW
Al Middleton Practices With Eleven for the Second Time - Intercepts Forward Pass and Races 5o Yards for Touchdown On First Team-Rsgulars Tie Score On Line Rushes-Games to Be Played at Willow Brook Park-Varsity Men Battle to Hold Places

Al Middleton. the new husky who joined the New Britain high school football squad the day before yes- terday. reported for practice for the second time yesterday afternoon. Fans. alumni. and fellow players are convinced beyond any question of a doubt that he is the goods.
 Yesterdays practice wat given over almost exclusively to forward passing. Since there is still ques- ton as to whether or not he will be eligible, Coach Cassidy used Middte- ton on the second team in a halfback position.
 On the first play Landino ran back. threw a pass but Middleton in- tercepted it and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. The second team held this advantage throughout the after noon until darkness when the first team carried the ball over on line rushes.
 One of the things noticed about the new man was his tackling ability. When he tackles he leaves his feet and when he hits he invariably gets his man. Another thing favora hle to the new man is his ability to take it and he certainly had a chance when his rivals tackled him yes- terday.
 At Full Strength
 The first team was at Its full strength with the exception of Gun ny Nelson at end who has shoul- der infection. The second team was without two backfield men and an end. The first team lineup consisted of tle following: Casale. center: Potts and Kuhs, guards: szymanski and Ludinowicz. tackles: the sub stitute and Bogdanski, ends: Lan- dino quarterback; Grip and Zaleski. half backs; and Sowka, fullback. Nevulis was in uniform and he took part in the signal drill but he did not take part in the scrimmage.
 The second team lineup consisted of Gasda. center: Mikalauskas and Pittsinger, guards; Kayeski and Neverdoski tackles; Baylock and Grohol. ends; Ross, quarterback: Greenlay and Middleton. half backs and Wesoly. fullback. The second team was without ts regular end, half back and fullback. Wesoly who shifted from half back to fullback featured with Middleton in the teams play especially in snatching forward passes.
 The second team intercepted sev- eral Of the regulars passes and the regulars returned the favor more than once. The teams appeared to be practice was invaluable to the team since it developed a forward pass ing attack and defense.
 Outside of Nelson there are two other players on the hospital list. They are Henry Kraszewski. sub stitute half back and Billy Ross, substitute quarterback. Ross played despite his injuries yesterday
 The team members are anxious to be in the very best possible condi- tion for the Bulkeley game since they know they are in for a tough fight. Some of the players who up to this time have been avoiding training have decided to abandon this procedure to settle down for the rest of the season. Knowing that thpy uil1 have tha kaanost of com- petition from the new corners the backfield men are now working hard in an effort to hold their places Henry Kraszewski. Billy Ross and Andy Wesoly too are giving the
