| ment TINT the promoters of last

corporated to prevent the new team

All the romance and glamour
which has encircled the exploits of
the football eleven that in the old
days made New Britain famous, will
be conferred in the revival Of the
club that was started at last night S

away during the past year. the team
eained the highest rung on the lad
der In state football circles and
again and again won the state cham
pionshir.
The new combination will be local
as much as will be possible and will
be conducted on the same basis as
was the old team. It will be a team
ct players. run by players with no
outside promoters The squad con-
fldently expects to follow In the foot
steps OF the old time combination
and put the name of Nutmeg back
at the top OF football in Connecticut.
At the practice last night. the an
rouncement that the promoters OF
last years team had Incorporated
was received as signal that
Messrs. Daley, Perakos and Walsh
were planning to buck the project.
1t was taken as a challenge to the
efforts OF the local players to form
a team that would please the fans
of the city.
From the candidates who an
peared for the workout last night. it
appears that u strong team will be
formed here. Among those who
were present were Graf O'Connell
who has been appointed coach;
INK" Connolly, Bernard Connolly,
Tom HUMPHREYS, jumbo Gnasdow,

Red O'Neil. Vic Radzevich, "Tur-
key Claire, Red" Matulis, Cunning,
Joe Argosy Buffalo" George
stnithwick, Bergin, Emery, Carl

Coach O'Connell started right off
and put the squad through signal
and passing drill using all the can
dfdates present. The practice was
snappy and stiff.
