New Britain herald., 1929-09-26

Two coaches who have been work ing together in the interests of their respective football teams will be rivals on Saturday afternoon when the New Britain high school football team. coached by George M. Cassidy and the New Britain Blues, coached by Dr. Frank Zwick will take part in a game which should bring the teams to a high point of competition.
 On many occasions Dr. ZWick has been of great assistance to the New Britain high school team. He is ever willing to give advice as to the phy- sical condition of injured players and is the teams physician. He is form CT football player with experience in preparatory school and college and has on many occasions aided Coach Cassidy.
 Coach Cassidy has on many oCca- sion helped in coaching the Blues. At times when Dr. Zwick was unable to make out of-toWn trips Mr. Gas sidy has taken charge of the team, Up until this year it was the an nual custom for the Blues to hold one or two scrimmages with the high school eleven but this year as one of the Blues rooters declared: "Well { play this game to the finish. Ii won't he like other years when We have had them back against their goal 1 line the coach would call the teams 1 back to mid field 10 explain to his team how the play could be stopped. This won't be a sCrimmage. It will l be a game"
 | According 10 reports the Blue rooters are taking the game very seriously and are ready and willing 10 back up the team with the long green. The Red and Gold team be 1 lieves it will win but that it will 1 have to be at top form against the heavy and experienced Zwickmcn.
 The points in favor of the Blues are that they are weighty and have ! been playing together for some time. Former friends will be rivals on the field. Mike Grip and Alex Zaleski who held halfback positions on the ''igh school team last year will play
 hose positions against their former
 cam and Al Fengler who was quar- tcrback on the Red and Gold team in 1926 and is assistant coach of the { high school team will play the 1 quarterback position for the Blues
 The other backfield position will 1 be held by Kaycski. Coach Zwick has a second backfield which he will l alternate with this quartet.
 The line will be very powerful with Argosy at center; Anastasio and Chester, guards; Beck and Neerelli, 'ackles; Emory and Lindgrcn, ends.
