Because of the fact that most of his squad is numbered among the younger boys at the Senior high school, Coach Lionel Depot has de- clded to enter the team in the inter mediate group at the Hartford County Y. NJ. C. A. meet at Willow Brook park tomorrow morning.
 Last year the New Britain high school colors were in the senior meet and the team finished in third 3place. exactly one point back of the second place team. However. the entire team with the exception of two players was graduated and the new players are small and mex perienced.
 According 10 plans Of the County '. M. (. A. officials the junior and intermediate meets will be held in the morning and the senior events will be held in the afternoon. New Britain high will be represented in the senior events by Captain Stanley Neverdoski, Dabkowski Kloiber anu Ludwinowicz. field event entries
 This will be the last appearance of the season for the New Britain high school track squad Coach Depot has had great difficulty in forming this squad this year because of the fact that he had little or no material upon which to build in the running events. In the meet last week his team made only six points in the dashes and runs. The remaining points were scored in the field events.
 The competition in the interrnedi- ate group is very keen. Ten teams have been entered and among them are some of the strongest high schools in this section. There will be approximately eight teams in the junior meet and six in the senior meet.
 Joseph c. Hergstrom. physical di- rector Of the New Britain r M. C. A. will be the starter. This is familiar position for Joe who has been doing this duty for years.
