Not even Harvard, supposedly the

most artistocratic of universities. can rank with Yale in this preserva- tion of football for the direct des- ccndants of the Pilgrims. For in the Cambridge backfeld this year, along with the good old names O. none other than Schereschewsky!
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

From end to end, through the backfield, and all down the list the substitutes there is not single play e. whose name suggests the more recent elements in the American melting pot. Nearly all appear Eng fish or Irish, with a Frenchman or German here and there providing the only variety. Booth, Hare, Crow ley, Parker, Dunn, Vincent, Taylor, Beane and so on down the line, wit1 not a single tongue-twister except the Teutonic- sounding Uihlein.

The proposed request that the, park board place barbed wire at the top of the wire fence enclosing the football field, is tough on Young New Britain but business movc- ment on the part of the team back CTS of the team.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

We cant help but admire anyone with a spirit such as he possesses and those critics of his who have taken a fling at Yale in general and Booth in particular, should bear in mind that Albie is not responsible for whatever is said about him by his friends and admirers.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

In these days when the "All America football teams have line .' ups that sound like one representing the League of Nations and even tn } 'Fighting Irish" of Notre Dame Ccmc in large measure from south ern and eastern Europe, there re- mains about only one survivor of the days when football teams were con- posed of Anglo-Saxons and Hiber- nians. And that team is Yale.

Football fans in this city will be awaiting the announcement of the board of managers of the All New Britain football team regarding the question of whether they will be in the field starting next Sunday This announcement is due some time to- day
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

It is our opinion that Booth has all the qualities that go to make d great sportsman. He has football ability and he has d breadth of mind that leaves no space for the entrance of anything small. He gives noth- ing but the highest sort of praise to his opponents and gives and takes with the idea that it is all in the game.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

He has refused to say anything with regard to the game to the metropolitan press. He merely says he is getting ready for Dartmouth If Albie was a quitter, then the spot for him to have shown it was in the Harvard game of last season.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

We dare say that no football play CT in these parts suffered the trinl- ming handed to Booth in that gams with better grace or with more equanimity than Albie did. He took licking and was glad of it. He is willing to take more of these if his team will win.

Being in close touch with certain parties who are very close to Albie Booth, mite quarterback or the Yale football team, we have taken partl- cular notice that in all the squawk- ing that is being done by Yale SUD- porters over the unfortunate occur renee in the Yale-Army game at New Haven last Saturday. not, q word has been heard from the figure who is the center of the entire dis cussion, Booth himself.
New Britain herald., 1930-10-30

In fact, Booth has nothing to say about the game except that he would have gone back into the bat = tie 10 minutes after he was injured if the Yale board of coaches would have allowed him to do so. Albie is not the type that turns to squawk- ing when he takes pumping In a game.

 Reports from the training camps of both fighters indicate that the two principals in tonight's bout are in the best Of shape for the impend- ing battle. Battalino has been placed a slight tavorite by Detroit fans be- cause of his exhibition of terrific punching with his sparring mates.
 The bout will be a champion ship affair with both boys being allowed to scale over the feather weight limit of 126 pounds Taylor has already announced that he would scale under 126 while it is expected that Battalino would tip the scales at 127. Should Battalino
  limit, the bout would certainly be considered title affair.
 Battalino has worked harder than ever for the impending clash with the Terre Haute veteran. He has been out tarly and late on the road and has been drawn to a fine con- dition for the bout. Taylor is a slashing type ot fighter, one who depends on his smashing attacks to the body to wear his opponent down.
 Battalino confidently expects that his speed and youth. will offset the best that his opponent can send in and he expresses confidence also that he will be the winner. The bout is scheduled to start promptly at 9:45 o'clock

The New Britain South church basketball team rode an 1l-point margin to its fourth consecutive senior County "Y' league cham pionship last night when 1t defeat ed the Mapping Y. M. c. A. quintet by 32-21 in the final game of the play-off required by the fact that the league ended in a triple tie. The game, played in the big Hartford Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium, was wit messed by almost capacity crowd, which saw the local team, appar- ently eliminated for the race a week ago and entering last nights contest with the odds supposedly against it, grasp the lead at the very outset and outplay Mapping all through the game except for one stretch in the middle of the second half.
 Plainville, the third member of the t1rst-place deadlock. eked out two-point win over New Britain last week but went down before Mapping on Monday night by six points. This gave the church team it's chance, and its win over the Wappingites last evening threw the question of the championship into the margins obtained by the respcc- tive teams. and New Britain had big advantage in this. As result it will represent Hartford county
 in the state inter-county "Y" tour rlament to be held at Storrs on Sat- ruday afternoon and evening, win ming its first-round game from New Haven county by default and going directly into the semi-l1nals.
 Locals Take Early Lead
 Last nights game had just begun when Parker dribhled up the floor and shot a pass to Jacobi, who scored the first points of the game. Rose tied the count on a follow-up shot, but Bell lifted New Britain ahead again, and it was still Az at the end of a cautiously played first quarter. The second period saw the teams alternate in scoring, Jacohi and Welles. Vessels and Welles, and Jacobi and Nicholson pairing their shots without advantage to either team. Then Bell sank a. bas- ket. Vessels added point, and Barta brought the total to 15-S with a pretty long goal as the period ended.
 Murphy counted for Mapping as the second half opened, but Bell Tipped two neat running baskets and Welles' foul was followed by one by Wosilus and basket by Rock well. giving New Britain a 22-11 margin, Brandenburg and Vessels made fouls and then Mapping start ed its one big rush. Sharp found the hoop from well up the floor, and Welles, after caging free toss, got under the basket and used his tremendous height in making two floor goals. AS the last quarter started Murphy counted again and New Britain's lead had melted to 2S-21. with its margin well below the necessary figure.
 Final Drive Wins Title But here the team steadied itself and carried on to the champions ship, holding Wrapping scoreless for the remaining nine minutes. Vessels | opened the winning drive with a tasket while being hacked. He missed both resultant tries, but Bell came through for a goal. making it 27-2l with two and a half minutes to play, New Britain now used dila- tory tactics, which baffled Mapping, and Jacobi knifed through for a field goal Barta made an awarded shot good, and Jacobi ended the game with another basket scored through bewIldered Mapping ou1- | fit.

New York. March 20 P)-Su- preme in their chosen element, the young sea dogs of the United States first team berths in the annual all league water polo array selected to- day for the Associated Press by coaches of the Eastern Intcrcollegi- ate Swimming association.
 The middle seXtet, led by Captain Emmett O'Beirne was so far ahead of all rivals in the race for league honors that one coach, Bob kiphuth of Yale, declares 'the entire Navy team might well be selected"
 Another striking feature of the 1880 all-league combination is the presence of the Buddy brothers, Joe of the Navy and Ray, the Columbia sophomore. These scions of a great swimming family, teaming with OBeirne, who gets the mythical captaincy by virtue of the greatest number of votes, making up the first string forward line.
 Navy's strong and mobile defense is transplanted in it's entirety to the all-league lineup with Myers an Seely getting the call for the back positions and Huff for goal guard.
 Following arc the complete sclec- tions for water polo and for swim. ming as well. in which George Ko- jac of Rutgers cuts the biggest swath with three first string bcrths to his credit;
