z , p e a k in g : { of Sports : II s>s>ss>s~ssssss$s$s$ss$ss C A New Britain High school fan |, who signs his name "C. NJ. r." has written the Heralds sports editor giving his impression of the New s Britain High Norwich game in Nor (; wich last Saturday. He was Q spec K tator at the game, which ended in M a tie, 12 to 12. It is too bad that a letter with such constructive criticism as this a was not signed by the writer. The rl Herald cannot print the letter. If | the writer will send his name to this \ paper the sports editor will gladly print the letter in tomorrOW's col umns. His identity will be kept se s cret if he wishes. 4 The latter called attention to the r use of Q crippled backticld in the game.

 That New Britain fans are strong . 1y in back of their teams may be gleaned from the fact that when the Nutmcgs High school, Blues, and paWnces go on the road for games with teams il other cities a large body of football fans follow every enc of them. This is especially true of the Nutmeg and high school teams.

 Coach Nal Stevens of Yale ha! made the statement that Albh Booth, the New Haven youth Wht has been going so well for the Blu' this fall, is not the best backtielt man he has.
