An Observer" Renews His Attack
 On Coach Cassidy

Editor, New Britain Herald:
 After reading the letter Of An other Observer in yesterdays Her aid, An Observer is still not satls- lied that Coach George Cassidy has done the right thing in appointing cO-captains for next years High school football team. 1 agree with "Another Observer" on his state ment that no player should let fra ternity spirit come before team play. But why try 10 avoid this by ap- pointing co-captains? The right thing for Coach Cassidy to do if he found any fraternity spirit iuterfer- ing with the teams success would be 10 baMish that boy or group of boys from the team and not stand for any smallness on the part of the players,
 "Another Observer" writes that We ought to have patience with 1 Coach Cassidy. Patience IS q. great virtue for any one to practice, but 1 We have been patient with Coach . Cassidy too long. We have given him d chance to prove h5s merits IS coach and he has bc.n found wanting. You cannot say that Cas- sidy has been great coach because some 0. his teams have had good records, Any good seasons that the high school teams have experienced are th, result ot the skill and knoWl- edge Of the players themselyes and not because of any ability impartcI 10 the players by the coach.
 Cassidy does know football with out a doubt, but he seems to let per sOuajtics sometimes spoil his judg- wents. for instance, the co-captam- ] cy business. He may know a little baseball and he knows absolutely nothing about basketball This writ "r has talked with boys out for the high school basketball team ana thy claim that Cassidy teaches .hoM absolutely nothing about the game. He probably does t~ach his uaa0ar Of shooting fouls, but this proves 10 be dc,rim.nt many Hm.s.
 But all this above has nothing 10 "o with the Co-captumcy business. +o lc>'s get back 10 that subject. Ii Is not only fraternity politics that is involved in the matter, and the boys who feel that somethilg unfair has been put over on them are no. only the members O. trat.rn.tjes. bu1 the I"ttarm4n who belong 10 no fra 'ernLiy also seem 10 feel the sam. way about the matter. From talk ing with the boys this writer sees that the great majority ot tho play CTS thought O'Bren should have the @-HtalnrE. Anyone wishing 10 prov. this can make d canvass of the team. and D" will find that only about four l.rtermen would be willing 10 vote or Ialaski Perhaps fewer than four. as il is not known yet just who the lott"rmen are to b..
 Undoubtedly, the players on next years team ought not to let prei4- dice enter into their playing and w. all hope that they will not. How "vor, Coach Cassidy was working a-alHs. his own interests when he appointed t"o captains one of whom no nor, deserved it than the water boy.
 Yours truly.
