New Britain herald., 1929-11-13


 The Corbin Screw quintet in the Industrial Basketball league will oppose the New Britain team in the practice session. Hank" Arburr is manager and coach of the Screw Shop quintet. This will give the New Britain team plenty of work for the night and will be the best possible kind of workout for the game with the Chrysler Redheads of Bridgeport Saturday night.
 The Sacret Heart basketball team will open the season tonight at the Sacred Heart school gym when it takes on the All Stars. The opposing team is a combination of players who will later in the season, form the New Britain Blues.
 The Laurels basketball team will also open the season tonight at the' Sacret Heart gym, playing the New Britain Blue Juniors. Games are wanted with any intermediate team in the city. For games telephone SHAM.
 New Britain will produce a re- Namped lineup in the roller hockey game against Hartford tomorrow night at the Stanley Arena. 'kid" Williams and Jimmy Clinton will hook up on the rush line and after the exhibition of last Monday night, we figure that New Britain will have as good and as fast a pair of rush CTS as there are in the league
 The defensive end of the t,am also compares favorably with any o her team in the circuit. With 'Grifiths at center. Barney Doherty ,at halfback and Lovegreen in the goal, it is going to be a difficult thing for any forwards to get through the New Britain network.
 Fred Jeans appearance here to- morrow night, especially after his declaration during the past summer that he was through with the game. will be greeted with mingled emotions. There are those who will be glad to see him back because they admire him as player but there will be those who will be out after his scalp the same as they al ways have been.
 The Nutmeg football team will meet the All-Stamford combination in this city at Willow Brook park Sunday afternoon. Stamford has strong combination and another good game is in prospect. The in povation of having a preliminary zane as an added attraction should prove to be good move. The first game will start promptly at 1:lo o'clock.
 The game of the year, as far as semi-pro teams are concerned. Will be played a week from Sunday when the Pawnees and the Blues clash. This will be about as bitter a battle as has ever been seen on a local gridiron.
 Dr. Henry Martin lays claim to the title of being the best little football picker in the city, follow ing the game between Yale and Maryland at the Yale Bowl last Sat urday afternoon. AS we stated last Saturday just prior to the game, everyone of us, with the exception of Dr. Martin, was certain that Yale was going to win, but the doctor was just as sure that Maryland would go down fighting.
 Now Doc has all the right in the world to give the boys the works and the T told you so.'
 There is a prime possibility that indoor fights might start in this city in the near future. Either a Bristol promoter or other parties who have become interested in this city as possible fight center, will probably go into action in the near future.
 One Of the interested spectators tat the roller hockey game between Providence and New Britain. was "Young Ed" Walsh. son of a famous father. and present day member of inc Chicago White SoX pitching staff, He was accompanied by LundeVillc, center on the Albany team.
 Johnny Newell, coach of the Hart ford High school football team, was la member of the board of strategy of the Hartford Giants last Sunday. Johnny occupied prominent posi- ton on the Hartford bench during the game.
 We haven't heard a great deal of comment on the possibility of an- other game between the Nutmegs and the Giants. Whether the fans would like to see the two teams clash again, is a hard thing to fig ,ure. As far as we are concerned. we feel so certain that the Nutmegs can take anything that Hartford can furnish that we would attend every Sunday the spectacle of Hartford team biting the dust before charging gang from New Britain.
 4 real New Britainite always en- joys any kind of a contest wherein Hartford takes a licking from New Britain and, on the other hand, Hartford takes just as much delight in seeing New Britain humbled at the hands of the Capital city com- Dinations.
