A big red army Of huskies who 1 are to represent the New Britain High school on the gridiron this year met 2 team of warriors from the Green Mountains of Vermont. the Pittsford High school team, at Willow Brook park Saturday after noon. After a series of crashing line bucks. long end runs and off- tackle smashes by the New Britain team, it cared home the fruits of victory to the tune of 19 to 0. Crowds at the opening game of the New Britain High school sea son are never very large, but there was large crowd al the game Sat : urday. The New Britain team clearly out-classed its opponents and because of this. one-sided ad- vantage there was htrle enthusiasm shown.
 Probably the most exciting event which took place in the afternoon was beautiful ~ yard run by Alex Zaleskl on a skin tackle play between Pittsfcrd's right tackle and right end. He ran straight for the goal line, but he was stopped within four yards Of the line on a beauti- full tackle by Ken Muzzy. Pittsford's E star and safety man.
 Pittsford did not oo much in the way of offensive pla.. In fact it did not score first down until the third quarter. This was the only earned first down of the game. New Britain made 13 frs, uo~ns five of which were scored il succession on march down the field for the ini- tai score of the game in the first quarter.
 ' Coach Cassidy's team made three touchdowns. all on line smashes. Eddie sowka went over for the first score in the first quarter. Mike Grip crosed the line for the second and Alex Zaleski carried the ball over for the third. Only once was New Britain able to score in the try for the extra point. It came about on forward pass from Sow ka to Landino. Incidentally the 19 to score was the same as that of last year.
 In one department Of the game New Britain was very successful. it's forward passing attack. In satur- days game all the passing was done among the backAeld men. The eowka-Landino combination was very effective.
 Too much should not he expected of team in its opening game and at the same time too much credit for its success can be given. Pitts ford High school team this year was stronger than last years team. but it was not strong enough to give New Britain High a test and the teams followers will have to wait until the Pittsheld. Massachusetts game Saturday to get a line on how the team will be this season.
 The line did its bit when it smothered Ken Muzzy and the other Pittsford backs for losses on several occasions. The backfcld was not called upon for secondary defense work except in forming defense against forward passes. In this last ramed department Of the game the New Britain backfeld did wonder full job. Not one of the Pittsford for ward passes was completed and many of them were intercepted.
 The stars of the backficld for New Britain were Zaleski and although Sowka did not make the longest gains. his gains were consistent. Zaleshi made some. nice gains. In the line the greatest work was done by Frank Cassle. but every other meUber of the line held up his end. The ends did not have much of test since most Of Pittsford's ball carry
