Local Football Teams Lose. Success in Bristol's Community Chest drive was virtually assured today when 1t was announced that .$17S22 had been subscribed over the weekend, bringing the total subscription to within less than SlJ,- OUO of the goal which is $9l,509. The total to date is SSI76l
 Thomas A. Tracy and H. w. Cleveland, publicity directors of tht campaign, downheartedly announc- ed about four days ago that approXi- mately s11.00O would have to he canyaSsed each day to the finish of the drive in order that the goal be reached. Since then the public has responded wonderfully and daily fig ures have zoomed 10 unexpected heights.
 The factories, despite depressed business conditions, have all sur passed their last years records by large percentages. From 93 to 101 per cent of all ernployes have done their bit, it has been said by Chair man Charles B. Greene. Last year it was necessary to extend the drive over one or two more days to reach $91,50Q. the same figures s set thi: year. Cutting several items out pt the budgets, it was possible this year 10 admit the Bristol Girls club 10 membership in the chest and still not ask for more money,
 Many "one- hundred percenters, as the organizations whose members all donate toward the chest fund are termed, have been registered at headquarters Results, Mir Green. stated today, are gratifying and truly appreciated by those responsible for the chests ultimate success. Loa& than S5,0Q0 a day will have to be 1 canvassed today and tomorrow ;c fill the chest coffers. Tomorrow eve ming the campaign will come to ar end and results will be tabulated.
