 Walsh. whose home is in Neriden. came ID to thjs city to see how hia cousin. Ralph Buckley. former Fordham university backfeld man and now . member of the Nutmeg team. was making out as . profes- stonal football player.
 '. vic Radsewich is playing the greatest game of his career. His broken-field running is 0ual to any displayed by "Poss". Miller or ''Zev' Graham.
 Conklin. the ransy tackle. has . new nickname. It's Chester" Cohk- lin now.
 What's the matter with the high school! was . common question asked about the city Saturday after- noon when the news of the defeat was announced at the Herald.
 Tho high school team isn't 70 bad. It can improve in time to do damage in the Hartford game if the back field is strengthened. New Britain'a line held lts opponent pretty well in check when 1t allowed it eight first downs to four.
 Stamford is a tough town on offi- clals. But when consideration h given the fact that Stamford High lost . total of S5 yards on penali- ties they had reason to kick. They rode" the officials throughout the game. but the officials were fair and If the Stamford linemen stopped us- ing their hands on tho offense and stopped holding, the penalties would not have been so heavy.
 New Britain High will not meet anything like Stamford this week. The Coast Guard Junior Varsity is . weak team in comparison with the down state high school team.
 The Coast Guard team was de- feated by Norwich Free Academy and 1t tied with Chapman Technical school of New London Saturday.
 West Hartford High school foot ball team, which is coached by 2 New Britain man. Eric Norfeldt, has . chance to tie Manchester High school fer the Central Connecticut championship in game between the two schools in Manchester Thurs day afternoon of this week.
 Plainville Blues defeated the Ber- lin Panthers 2 to in a game played in Plainville. Ray Schwab to Wesley 6chwab. brother combination, scored . touchdown on forward pass.
 4 movement is under way to again put Johnny Grip in the good graces of Major Cavanaugh, head coach at FordhAm university, who dropped Grip from the squad for disciplinary reasons.
 It will be known definitely wheth- CT or not it succeeds within a day or two.
 Brown would have delighted Coach Cassidy of N. B. H. s. Satur- day when it used the "shoe string" play which the local mentor so favors. A Brown player pretended to be hurt and limped slowly across the field toward the bench, but when he reached the sidelines he straight ened up and sprinted madly down the field for forward pals that was hurled to him. The tragedy was that. with no Yale man within 20 yards and the goal line only that far away, he failed to catch the ball. At that, the same play in modified form fooled Yale twice thereafter.
 One of the worst spills we have ever seen on a football field occur red at the same game when C.. Monroe of Brown and Miller of Yale collided head-on while both were running at breakneck pace. Monroe had just nipped a pass out of the air, and the two men hit each other like express trains and went down hard. Both had to be remov- cd from the game.
 The Brown band got all tangled up in playing its alma mater song between halves. Tho main group was playing one half of the chorus while the saxophone and clarinet section was playing the other. with tho result that there were several weird discords. And when the lead er signalled for the end of the piece, one group stopped. and the saxophonists were left to play out half the chorus all alone.
 Brothers sat in rival stands at Cambridge Saturday. austave and Gunnard Carlson of 779 East street. New Britain, were the fraternal op- ponents. "Guxz" is junior at Har- yard. while "Gunnie" Is now . yearling at West Point. Incidental ly, when Gunnard comes to Yale with the corps this Saturday. it will be as close to home as he has been since leaving for the military acad- emy in July. 1927.
