Prospects Seem Bright for High School Football Team

Although lnere IS Sllll -dpPloAl mately three weeks between now and the opening of the New Britain high school football season, members of the squad are looking forward to a successful season.
 The only veteran regulars are as follows: "Boggy" Bogdanski, end: "Penoke" Ludwinowicz, tackle; Cap tain Joe Potts, guard: Mike" Grip, halfback, and Middleton, guard. The last named athlete was also back field man during part of the season. These men will probably make up the nucleus of the team with the assistance of the following first SUD- stitutes; Witty Mikalauskas, guard; John Dumin, center; 'Hermy" Schmarr, end Stanley Neverdoslti. guard; Billy Ross, quarterback: +Herby" Carlson, fullback, and Frank Zaleski and Andy" Wesoly, halfbacks. Another not eligible last year who is expected to be ready this year either as a backfield or end prospect is Billy Mangan.
 Those named were all the promi- nent members of last years squad. They are IA in number and will re- ceive further assistance from play CTS who were not included in the first substitute list. Although there are only five actually listed as reglI- lars when consideration is given the fact that two of the substitutes were in most of the games there really are seven regulars. The two subs are Mikalauskas and Ross. Both of these men started many of the games.
 Those lost through graduation were the following first team men: Eddie Sowka, punter and fullback; Alex Zaleski, halfback: Captain Louis Landino, quarterback; Frank Casale, center; John Szymanski, tackle, and "Gunny" Nelson, end.
 Just how Coach George M. Cas- sidy will arrange his lineup is sti!! in doubt and will be in that state until the season is underway. He s fortunate in that he has men who can be used at two positions. Al Middleton can be used in the back field or in the line and it may De that he will be used at tackle, a place which is in need of a good man to stop the famed off tackle plays of Hartford high. With him and Ludwnowicz in these positions much can be expected of the team Captain Joe Potts has announced that he will try for the same posi- ton which he held last year, the right guard assignment. John Du. min was rather light last year but i during the summer he has put on considerable weight and should he a good prospect for center. There will be several heavy men trying for the guard positions. Witty Mi. i kalauskaS has the advantage of one year of experience and is very heavy. If Coach Cassidy should stick to the lineup of last year the line will be as follows: Dumin, center: Mikl- lauskas and Potts, guards; Ludwino- vic and Middleton, tackles and Bog danski and either Schmarr or Man | ton play in the backfield opportu- nty will be afforded others to take over line positions. Billy Ross will | probably be at quarterback with either Grip. Mangan, Middleton, Za = leski or Wesoly at halfback anl Carlson at fullback. Carlson ap- pears to be the most likely candi- date for bunting honors. This will be his third year on the squad.
 Coach Cassidy has not definitel, arranged his schedule. Stamford high school is not satisfied with its date and negotiations are still un- derway for a change. At the pres ent time it appears as if the game will r. we'd either as an open date early season game. The openirs ate is September 20. The second game will be against Bridg4
 port Central on November 5.
 Other teams played will be Bulxe. ley high school of Hartford, Hart.
