Of Sports

4 number of New Britain people
have made plans to attend the Notre
Dame-Army game at the Yankee
Stadium In New York tomorrow.
Among those making the trip are
Attorney Cyril Gaffney, Attorney
William Curtin, Philip Pagan. Frank
Arata, James J. Daley. Thure Beng
ston, John Walsh and James Walsh
From down in Virginia comes
word to watch Snyder and Rober:s
Of Maryland when that team meets
Yale In the bowl tomorrow. Both
men are reported as decidedly
good" Snyder will be rememb ered
as the back who raced 90 yards fer
a touchdown on a kickoff against
Yale last year. This. incidentally
was the longest run ever made at
the Bowl. Roberts also is a veteran.
Maryland's right end, Dobson, is
also reported to be a dangerous
man. but he was injured in the
V. P. l. game last week and may
he Handicapped for that reason.
The Rochester Professionals, rot
ed as the best football team in New
York state outside of the metropolis.
will play the Hartford Giants at the
velodrome Sunday afternoon. The
Giants have negotiations under way
for the services of pair of out
standing stars. These men are be-
ing imported to plug up the weak
nesses developed in the game with
New Britain a week ago last Sun
day.
Basketball in this city is knocking
at tho door. The Industrial league
starts next Tuesday evening at the
Stanley Arena and the New Britain
team opens on Saturday, Novem-
Der II.
Roller hockey will come along
Thanksgiving week. The managers
OF the teams in the American
league are due to meet again this
coming Sunday when all details with
regard to the league will be settled.
No intimation has been given out
as yet of the makeup of the New
Britain team this season. Manager
Frank McDonough has been scout
ing around for the past month and
a half in search OF the best avail
able combination and until he def
'nitely lands his players. he doesn't
care to make predictions as to his
team.
Meridcn will probably return to
the league with the star combina-
ton of last season again intact. Wa
tcrbury will be represented by the
same, or practically the same COM
bination. 1t is being rumored about
that several OF the veterans who
played last season, are determined
to qquit this year. Whether this
is true or not remains to be seen
when the game gets under way
again this year.
A bigger and better amateur roll
Or hockey league is In the making
and there should be keen COMPETE
