 Roller Hockey Team

The first letters from roller hockey fans regarding the retention and selection of players for the sed- son of 1sS0-s1 have arrived and are published below. They represent the ideas of fans with regard to the makeup of the New Britain quinta # for next season. They are as fol- lows:
 Sports Editor
 If were privileged to pick the roller hockey team for next season. I believe I would try to lineup the following players.
 First, retain Donnelly and Wi- Hams of the present team. Bon are hard workers and arc biz as set to any team.
 Second, sign up Barney DohcrtH, the peer of halfbacks
 Third. give George Bayer q chance to kick 'em away" from the cage. George showed real class in the pre- linn Tuesday evening and is as good league, if not better. With Barney as some of the goalies now in the to teach him a few tricks, I believe George would fill the bill.
 Fourth, the other teams in the league have carried one young player" Part of the hostility to New league. if not better. With Barney Britain around the circuit can be attributed to the fact that the team which finally represented the Hari ware City, was made up of old timers with no youngsters on it. l believe I'd sign up one of the Pcrc- grin boys for the other rush position. Fifth, there is younSster here in New Britail, named Biella, who l.; fast, aggressive and willing. think I'd take him on for the sixth man.
 The above lineup would certainly win its share of games and ought to be popular one. Every man on the present teaHn deserves praise. They worked hard against a lot of under cover" op- position and brought the second halt championship ,u New Britain. For some reason, however, the combination doesn't "click' as q | team and I believe only Dick Donnelly and Kid" Williams shoul.I 1 be retained as the nucleus of the l l4c0-5l team.

Although the New Britain roller hockey team owners expect to be allowed to retain three men next season from their present team, l can see only two who are of any use to the team. They are Red Donnelly and "Kid' Williams. Dug gan is too individual, Dufresnc can't regain his speed of other days and Bill Jette isn't the goal tender that he used to be.
 I'd say retain Donnelly and Wll- liams and build up the team arounl these two. Put Earl Pierce back on the rush line, put Donnelly at cen- ter and get Arriuda to play half back. Then take Horr, the Glaston- bury boy who played with New Britain until Jette came along, anl put him in the goal. New Britain would then have a s-rong offensive and very strong defensive team.
