A. in an elimination series to decide the city championship to which two or three teams are laying claim just at present. St. Mary's, new corners to the Waterbury football fields have rounded out a nicely balanced team within the short space of six weeks. including such we'll known gridsters as Morton. Connie Shea, Pie Donnelly, Stack, Jim Kielty, G. Maxwell and Paul Johnson which is a combination of Waterbury. Oakville and Water town talent. The Hills, under the guidance of Wally Pipp have had a, fair season to date. winning two and losing two, though they the Oakville Saints will constitute their third seasonal victim. At any rate the game will provide plenty of action, with the boys facing each other as follows:

 Hills Ready.
 Last evening at Hamilton park the Walnut Hill team went through their last stiff practice session for their coming game with the S- Mary's team this Sunday. A Iona signal drill preceded a tackling ant blocking period. Then the Hills engaged in a short and furious scrimmage with all the candidates striving to show the coach that they are fit and ready for the game and that they will win to justify his confidence in them. Coach Pipp has labored long and hard to bring the Hills to their present high standing in the semi-pro ranks and the team would like to take this opportunity to express their gratitude-publicly his fine. unselfish work.
 As the game draws closer and closer excitement continues to mount on the Hill and the fans can be seen in groups every night discussing the chances of the Hill's to come through with a victory against Rocco Mara's new team which he has bolstered this week with the addition of several vet eran players evidently fearing the untried and untested strength of the Hills.
 Another thing that is squirting on the Hills to new heights Is the interest the school children of Walsh, Slocum and Woodrow Will son are manifesting. They seem to realize that the Hills are out to help them and they intend to show their appreciation by being present to- cheer their local rep resentatives. The Hills hope and ask that all the fans of Waterbury will be present to contribute to this worthy cause.
 Manager Dileo Is very busy clearing up the incidental duties that will lead up to this classic. His words. are that the Hills will be in there fighting and Coach Pipp claims that his. team will not only be in there fighting but they also will be in there to win, to defeat Oakville and to send Mara out looking for bigger and better material.
