Speaking of Sports

freshman team. is also his class rep- rssentative in an tnter-class lesh- man and sophomore wrestling con- test. The contests started on with . large group but Feardoriah has worked his way into the finals He plays at left guard position, on the football squad and Fred zeArer is stationed at right end. The Franklin < Marshall varsity team playa the freshmen twice . week and the drst year team wins every time by overwhelming scores.
 Deardorian was . member of the ls34 state championship football team which was considered one of the greatest high school teams in the past decade. Fellows members of that team were "Red"s Miller. Howard Beloin. Al Poiitis. Ben Boj- nowski. Frank Mccarthy, Ernest Netpp. John Grip. Henry Zehrer, Pat O'Brien. and Howard Belser.
 The greater number of these boys were siven chances in colleges and have made names for themselves.
 "Jm6o" Gnasdow. tho New Brit ain Nutmeg's strong boy, is as hard worker in the brick yards as he s on the football held.
 Plans arc underway to have the special excursion train to New York stop at Berlin to pick up the fans who wish to follow the New Britain team to Stapleton . week from Sum day. Approximately 800 followed the team last year.
 The etapleton team is considered one of the best professional teams outside of organised league. Its quarterback is Jack Connors, quar- terback of New York university team last year, and . member of one of the three official All-Ameri- can teams which were picked by Grantland Rice and sports writers.
 Tho New Haven Hillhouse High school team with three veterans left from last year will face Hartford Public High school in New Haven this afternoon in the first game of the triangular league for the Will liam F. Fieischer cup which was not won last year.
 Last year 1t appeared as if either New Haven or Hartford would win the cup after each had defeated New Britain, but they tied to 6 and under the rules the cup holds over for another year in case of . tie.
 New Haven team has not been de- featsd in three starts, but Hartford was defeated by the Central High school team of Bridgeport.
 Many of the boxing gentry will find their way to Hartford tomorrow night where they will see two New Britain boys in action. Joe Zotter in the semi-final and Kid Thomas in preliminary bout. Bat Battalino, hard. hitting featherweight. will be on the card in the main go of the night.
 1ndustrial league fans arc in for q lot of basketball this winter. Two nights . week and three games a night will be something for the of ncials to look forward to with fear.
 It will be tired referee who will dras himself of the fioor after these games.
 After two years on the ineligible squad. 'Shorty" Crawford has risen to show the Harvard varsity how to stop Dartmouth's plays. Crawford yesterday was put at quarterback for tho regulars against his former teammates and directed the most successful defensive practice of the week. He probably will start the game Saturday.
 In spite of the resounding moans that have been coming from West Point all week about the injuries that have weakened the Army squad. the team looked pretty good in prac- tice yesterday. Chris Cagle was the shining light on the offensive and the men who were supposed to be doddering around the field on crutches looked like a snappy bunch of players too.
 Navy and Pennsylvania reversed their positions yesterday. Penn. which has had few sorrows, discov- cred that Ralph Monk. star guard. will be out on another game while the Navy men learned that Oscar Habgerg. end. who was taught to have broken leg in Wednesdays practice, had suffered only q severe sprain.
 Mal Stevens of Yale, like most coaches. believes that the team best drilled in tho fundamentals of foot ball is the one that wins close game. He is taking no chances on losing to Army because of a failure ih that kind of training. A second hard practice yesterday was devoted ts the simplest parts of the game.
 7 If Hugo Bexdek doesn't find a winning combination at Penn State t won't be because he hasn't tried them all. His tentative starting line- up for the Syracuse encounter. is the nth in as many games. It includes seven sophomorcs and four juniors. The Veterans will be occupying the beuch when tho whistle blows.
