 After hard work all year Coach George NJ. Cassidy seems to have perfected his forward pass defense. Only one completed pass was made hy Buulcley in it's game against New Britain High Saturday.
 At least three of the eight incom- plote passes were caused by New Britain substitute backfeld men Saturdays game proved that Coach Cassidy has strong reserve strength and it may be sent in if a forward pass attack is succeeding against the regular team.
 The entire Hartford Public High school team was at the game but all It saw was a New Britain team play ing straight football. Trick plays which Coach Cassidy has in the bag arc staying there until the game a week from Saturday.
 Captain Jackie kcnney Of the Blue and White team was assistant to Head Linosman Thomson. He watch Il New Britain's style of play and as very much interested in the Red and Cold backficld big threats.
 Last week Fred Saunders who holds the lines for New Britain as

Vale needs this one Saturday as q "Drcather" bntwcen the Army-Dart- mouth and Princeton Harvard games, and Maryland has long since ceased to be a &et-up.
