young woman decided to present
her sweetheart with a marriage
license as a Christmas present.
The girl called the Police De-

she might obtain the license to

inasmuch as the license bureau
at the courthouse would be closed,
it probably would cost her about

She declared, however, that ex-
pense was no object, since the
document was to be her Christmas

locals LOOK FOR
VICTORY SATURDAY
New Britain High Meets Hill.
house Of New Haven This Week

Confidence in the New Britain
High school football team grew last
Saturday with the decisive defeat of
the highly-toMed Adams team of
Massachusetts and the student body
will be out en- masse to back the
team in its first Triangular league
game of the year against the New
Haven Hillhouse High school team
at Willow Brook park Saturday att
ernoon.
1t will be revenge which the New
Britain boys will be seeking when
they face the Elm City team. Last
year the New Haven boys broke
record of never winning 4 Triangu-
lar league game on their home
grounds and the way they did It
was something which caused gloom
in the New Britain camp for the
rest OF the season.
Last year the New Haven team
led by its "galloping ghost" Wild
cat" Wilson. wiped the field with
New Britain and finished on the
long end Of a "a to 0 score. How
ever. the Hillhouse team this year
is not as. strong as last year and
New Britain has chance to do
damage. Despite the fact, however.
that the Elm City eleven lost about
seven Of its veterans. 1t has some
good men who are new to the line
up and in every game but one this
year the Hillhouse team has been
the victor.
Hartford Public High school, the
other member of the Triangular
league. defeated New Haven Z to 0
in the last quarter of their game.
The Red and Gold eleven will have
to improve over its form in the
Adams game in order to win. The
team was better than 1t was all year
but it will probably have to con-
tinue improvement.
The lineup which will start for
New Britain will have only four of
the players who started for the
Hardware City team against New
Haven last year. They are Franz
Casale, Bill kuhs, Eddie Sowka and
Captain Louis Landino. Two of the
halfbacks who started will
be on the bench. They are Alex
Zaleski and Mike Grip. Another
regular who started. Tony Nevulfs.

them will take much of the center

Nearly $4,000 persons are expected
to see Army's victorious cadets
