Cheshire, Nov 0--A strong Rox- bury eleven is looking forward to It's last game of the year, with the i Columbia Freshmen at Baker Field on Friday afternoon. Hopes for a victory run higher than in several years past. With few exceptions, members of the squad are in ex- cellent physical condition and ready for hard battle.
 The record of the Roxbury team so far this fall includes two victor les and two defeats. The Tufts Junior Varsity was beaten in the opening game of the season by a score of SC to O. and the New Bri- tain High school eleven by 15 to 0. ,Roxbury lost to the Dartmouth Freshmen at Hanover by a 27 to o score, and to the strong Yale Fresh men by IS to 6. It was in the Yale game that the Roxbury team first developed It's full strength, with the result that the contest YVES much closer than the score would indi- cate.
 The showing of the Roxbury eleven this fall has been the more meritorious in that the season opened with the loss of nearly all of last years first-string players. Saliba and Reckmack in the back field, and Ray Gribbon of Water bury and Treat in the line, were the only returning veterans. Replace ments have been developed rapidly, however, and to-day the first eleven Is n strong combination. The chief weakness of the team is in substitu- tions.
 Among the strong members of the Roxbury squad are a number of boys from the New York metropoi- itan district. On the line are Rem sen Williams of Great Neck. Long Island, William John Of Larchmont. New York. and Kurt Roehrs of Wyckoff, New Jersey. Prominent in the back field are Albert Hutton of Garden City. Long Island. William Kiicullen of New York, Jennings Potter of West Orange, New Jer- sey, and Tom Hamilton, of Bronx vile, New York. The work of Hut ton as quarterback has been an out standing feature of the entire sea son. Another backfeld star is Ed- ward Casey. nephew Of the Har- yard coach. Like his uncle, Casey is an exceptionally fine ball carrier.
 Relations between Roxbury and the Columbia Freshmen have been increasingly cordial during the past few years, with the result that q number of strong Roxbury players have entered Columbia. On the Co., lumbia Varsity are Lfnehan and Natal, on the Freshmen. Watral and Furey. An interesting feature of the schedule of the Columbia Freshman football eleven, has been tho part taken in 1t by former and present Roxbury players. Dave Putnam. of the Brown Freshmen, Leslie and Charles Kaufman, of the Princeton Freshmen. Sid Stein and John Mack, of the Yale Freshmen. are all former team-m mates of Wat ral and Furey who have given Co., lumbia formidable opposition dur ing the past few weeks. Another team-mate is Rayford Shields, who is playing . brilliant game at end on the present Fordham Freshman eleven. In all eight members of last years Roxbury- team are now play Ing on major eastern freshman teams. Although Roxbury has never indulged fin the pastime of claiming championships, this large number of boys making good in col lege fotball is indicative of the quality of the -1931 eleven.
 The Rcxbury football team has always played hard schedule. This Is true not only of the first eleven. but of the, second and third clevcns as well. The school athletic policy has for It's aim not tho att tainment of mythical champion ships, but the development of all boys interested in athletics to the limit of their potentialities. so that they may be the better prepared for the cxtra-currlcuIar as well as the scholastic activities of the col lege they enter. The result has been that Roxbuiy, althouah never il beneficiary of easy schedules and and undefented seasons, has always been represented by worthy elevcns and by graduates who have done well on college grldirons.
