One of the first hit-anG-run driv- ITS to operate in Berlin for some time created excitement yesterday when he struck q truck driven by James Naples of 16 Pearl court, New Britain. The accident, which took place almost directly in front of the Junk yard owned by Peter Rosso, might have been almost negligible W"r2 it not for the fact that the drlNor of the car was not caught. The truck, owned by James Demor- lio of Now Britain, was struck and forced off the road. crashing through a fence and turning over. The hit and run driver. not content with the mischief caused, struck a farm wagon, and, according to reports, clipped off one Of the wheels though the description of the car was given local authorities by sev- cral witnesses to the accident, the machine was not apprehended at that time. It is understood that the car is being sought by local police.
 A New Game
 The local police, particularly those stationed at the top fo Damon's hill, have become rather unwilling participants in new game, which several observers have called Unit the cop" It is a very simple game and one easily learned by any autoist. The policemen are stationed in the middle of the road on little wooden platform to direct traffic. Cars go hy in both direc- tons and the policeman stationed on the platform at the time re- ceivcs many salutations. He can not sec all of tho hands waving at once and many enthusiastic motorists at tempt to drive by as closely as pos sible to say Hello" This some what disconccrts the constable and hc is not sure whether it Is friend or foe and of course attempts to tCp out of the way.
 Tho play now begins. The game began with an occasional "Hello," l4 now continued in an attempt to sc who can come the closest to the officer doing duty. The winner, who Is usually acclaimed by the cheering squad sitting on the fence surround lrG inc monument, is the one who can cause the officer to perform the most weird acrobdtics in attempting to get out of the way. It is rumored that the game does not have the most hearty cooperation of the of- ticers on duty.

Doubtless some will not agree with
the selection Of Charlie Millar Of East
ern as quarterback as against Aubrey
Spencer of Tech and perhaps Franz
Cumberland Of Central, but, though
Millar did not play in all the games, no
enough to show beyond doubt that he
was q smart and inspirational field gen
eral, good ball carrier and sure tack
Ter. In addition, he Is not without abil-
ity as q kicker and paSSer.
Spencer admittedly was fine HEAVIER
and a good intercepter, with other
things, but he was decidedly not ina
presSive on defense. Cumberland proved
himself brainy little quarterback. who
also could hurl 'em through the air ana
carry the ball. but his limited experience
initiated against his selection.
Three fullbacks have been picked for
the other posts behind the line. Dunbar
Goss of Tech and Larry Pinckney OF
Central have been placed at left and
right halfback, respectively, with Jimmy
Drayer of Western Is the fullback Sc
lection. It Is believed that Co.'s, who
was outstanding at backing up the line,
would show to as much advantage at
haIfback as at full, while 1t also Is
thought that Pinckney, who u fast, de-
spite his husky build, could NIL q half
back Job in fine style. Draper demon
strated his worth as fullback con-
vincingly and while he may not be an
extraordinarily good defensive player, ne
is not SO bad. at that. He also exhibited
passing and punting proclivities:
