Picking Next Years
 Roller Hockey Team

Arthur (kid) Williams and Rich ard (Red) Donnelly appear to be almost unanimous choices among the roller hockey fans to be re- tained as members of the New Britain team next scason. Almost every letter received from the fans regarding this matter. contains the names of these two with other pos sible combinations. Earl Pierce, who played second rush with Will Hams during the past season, reached a high degree of popularity. Other letters received regarding the polo team for next year, arc as follows:
 Sports Editor:
 The two players I would like to see the New Britain Roller Hockey club retain for next year are Don nelly and Williams. think Earl Pierce should be brought back again to pair up with Williams. Boucher should be secured to play center and Lovcgreen to stop them in the goal.
 This team could meet any kind of opposition and would show up very well. Pierce and Williams showed this past season that they arc the best pair of rushcrs in the league. Boucher is well liked by the New Britain fans and as every fan knows, is as good a center as there is. Donnelly and Lovegreen make a
 
 combination forms strong offensive and defensive team.

Sports Editor:

Sports Editor:
 Here is my combination of New Britain's future roller hockey team: Williams and Donnelly should be re- tained as second rush and halfback respectively. Dyson should be ac- quired as first rush. being the speed fest rusher in the game. He is the most promising young player and should go biS with New Britain fans.
 Boucher, another fast and accu- rate shooter. should be at center He is especially well liked in New Britain. Hoff, who was coming along as one of the best goal tend CTS in the game, should be secured if possible.
 Albany proved itself by winning the championship with fast team and this ought to give New Britain not only d fast team but ono with youth added to it. This should meet with the approval of the Arute brothers because it has only two high-priced players. Hoping you will give this some consideration, I am, an ardent admirer,
