Tommy Monahan Has Small Nucleus for Start of 1033 Eleven

Bristol, Sept ?.-Bristols domin. anee in tho Central league Is on n shnky foundation with the opening of the l033 football season only q few weeks away. In tho graduates who left the Bell City school at graduation time were big Able Gurske and tho greater part of Coach Tommy Monahan's gridiron regulars and unless the Bristol mentor can work a noai-wonder, the monopolizcr of the league championships In football basket ball and baseball will be lucky to escape defeat and cling to their gridiron laurels.
 Captain KwiatkoWski is Mona. hans only dependable veteran back and this season the Bristol coach Is forced to give Joe Marc, crack center last year. one of the posts in his ball-carrying quartet Husky John DlGiovanni completes the lean roster of veterans. The Bris- tol squad, has, however, been working out for several days with Winters, Kilby, Cody, Driscoll and Engles, reserves last year, making bids for first team jobs and if training alone can offset the heavy graduation loss, the Bristol team stands good chance of bagging another league gridiron title.
 West Hartford and Manchester loom as the most formidable ob. stacles in the Bristol teams drive for the 1883 championship.
 Meridcn has 10 letter men as Q nucleus for It's 1888 combination but Coach Frank Barnikow, who has cast aside his life guard suit to don his gridiron togs, is scarcely cnthused over his teams chances In the coming league battles, The Silver City squad. 45 strong. began practice last Monday and will wind up It's preliminary work today to rest before the opening of school September G.
 Mcritlcn Loss Heavy Graduation last June took four of Marnikow's best 1882 perform CTS In Walt McGuinness, quarter back, and Butch Kennedy, Rocky Logozzo and Julius Di Persio, llne- men. Johnny Ncdza Is being train cd for quarterback and Eddie Gormley. ace pass-receiver at end last season Is being groomed for a halfback post.
 Manchester q Threat
 Manchester high this year will launch in the Central league race team fairly well equipped with veteran material, although little Dcan be determined concerning the probable strength of the 1883 out fit until Coach Tom Kelley arrives in the silk City tomorrow ready to begin the shaping of his title con- tender for this year.
 A smoothly clicking backfield composed wholly of veterans. is practically surety for the Man chester team and 1t is expected that Kelley will uncover plenty of good. staunch material to- plug the holes in his line before the Silk City squad jumps into the thick of the Central league fight after the battle with Hartford. Eddie Rowe, who held a guard job on last years team. will lead the squad. The first practice is scheduled for next week.
