DANBURY- TO PLAY BOTH PONIES AND
 BRISTOL TEAMS
Special to The Democrat

Danbury, Nov 22-In needing popular clamor for a game with the Thomaston Ponies, and return match with the Bristol West Ends, the Hat City Trojans are risking everything and gaining nothing, insofar as the state title is con- cerned.
 Thomaston clashes with the Hat ters Sunday at Lee field here at 1:15 sharp. Danbury fans insisted on the game, regardless of the fact that the Ponies had been beaten. The ex-Torrington outfit is a fa- vorite here and the contest should pack the $500 seats at the park.
 The Trojans, undefeated in their last IA games, have been scored on but once this year, that by Bristol. In playing the Ponies Dan- bury is taking a chance of getting knocked off their present high place in the semi-pro alignment. The Hatters then clash with the West Point Colored Cavalry on Thanksgiving day morninf, and with Bristol on Dec 2, for the third tough game in eight days.

 ASSAILED BY
 BOSTON OWNER

Boston, Nov 22.-(UP)-Charg- ing the acquisition of Warren Hell Ter. Pittsburgh star, by the New York Giants, surprise and ma ladorous transaction" President George Marshall of the Boston Redskins National league football club vehemently attacked league heads for permitting the deal in a statement last night.
 It is the third time he was forced into controversy over players with the Giants management, he said, calling action of the New York club an example of poor sports manship".
 Heller was secured to replace Harry Newman, Giant ace who was injured recently.'
 The Redskins play the Giants Sunday, and a victory for the Bos- ton eleven would place them in g. tie with the Giants for the eastern division lead.

game on a hard schedule except one with Georgia. Last season the Virginia team picked Barclay as the greatest player it faced, and Georgia named him the greatest opposing linesman.
 This season, with 8 schedule probably as formidable as any they have ever played the Tar Heels have lost only to Tennes- see, 19-7, and should end the sea- son with just that one defeat, for it is conceded that, barring mir aculous upset, they will take Vir- ginia in the annual Turkey Day classic at Charlottesville Thanks giving. This season the Tar Heels have played Wake Forest, Tennes- see, Georgia, N. c. State, Geirgia Tech, Kentucky, Davidson, Duke. There was 7-7 tie with N. c. State. Only the Virginia game remains.
 Knows His Stuff
 Captain Barclay gained wide publicity early in the season when one we'll known syndicate writer referred to him as one-man team, due to his ability to call the signals, run interference, back up the line, and serve as snapper back when the center is out of the lines to try for extra points, in addition to his ability to convert blocked punts and intercepted passes into touchdowns. For Bar clay, although a guard, scored more touchdowns last year than any back on the team save one.
 A few comments from coaches of rival teams will serve to illus trate the high regard in which Barclay is held in the South:
 Coach Bill Alexander, Georgia Tech, member of the All-American Board: Barclay more than lived up to his All-American rating against us."N
 Coach Harry Mehre, Georgia Bulldogs, who beat Yale but were upset 14-0 by Carolina; 1T need not elaborate on the ability of Howell, Mickal, and Barclay. All are Of All-American calibre. Bar clay rates top with every coach who has seen him perform. I don't think he has an eual in the nation"
 Dan McGuin, Vanderbilt coach. Barclay, North Carolina's great guard, captain and leader, must not be overlooked when they make up the rolls of honor"
 Coach Bob Neyland, Tennessee: "One of the best men ever to play against Tennessee. have seen few who can eual him as charg- ing guard. He, is in every play"
 Coach Chet Wynne, Kentucky, late of Auburn: That boy Barclay is All-American so far as I'm con- cerned. He certainly played a brilliant game against us.''
 Coach Hunk Anderson of N. C. State, formerly of Notre Dame: Barclay is fine player and a great leader. He has the spirit and the leadership that makes Car olina an almost unbeatable team as long as he is in the game. Ten- nessee stayed behind Carolina as long as Barclay was in the game, but when he went out because Of an injury the Carolina team feil apart and the Vols moved ahead"
 Coach Wallace Wade, Duke: "The outstanding player in our game last year. And this year he stood out as he always does. He rates with the best'
 Atlanta sport writers, including Morgan Blake, Ed Danforth, Jim- my Jones, and O. B. Keeler, al- most ran out of adjectives in de- scribing Barclays brilliant play there.
 Grantland Rice uoted his south- ern scout: Barclay is undoubted- ly one of the best guards of many seasons" Barclay, senior, --A comes from Natrona, Penn. He prepped at KiSki

11Chek SO0CAAe ODhUNRSAbS OA N'NONS-~-
 Athens, Ga, Nov 14-There hard ly is a team among the topnotch football outfits in the south that hasn't at least one man who rates with the seasons brightest stars and who actually will poll a large vote when the All-America roll is called.
 Most noted among the Dixie stars are Willard Howell, Alabama halfback; Abe Mickal, Louisiana State back, and George Barclay North Carolina captain and guard.
 others who receive intermittent praise as they fade and shine are Bill Lee and Don Huston, tackle and end, respectively, of Ala bama; Randy Dixon. Vanderbilt passer and kicker, and Sam Brown, man mountain guard of the same team; Charley Vaughan, Tennessee's bullet-like pass throw CT, and Howard Bailey, the Vols vicious tackle; Monk Simons, half back, and Robinson, center, or Tulane: Corky Cornelius, halfback, and Earl Wentz, end, at Duke; Cy Grant, halfback, and John Mo- Knight, center, of Georgia, and Bert Johnson, Kentucky's sopno- m lore halfback find.
 need not elaborate on the abii- ity of the first three = Howell, Mgckal and Barclay. All are of All America caliber.
 Howell is the Tides passer and punter, as we'll as shifty runner.
 Barclay rates tops with every coach who has seen him perform.
 Mickal, in the opinion of Coach Biff Jones, is ia better back than Red Cagle," whom Jones coached at Army.
 Probably the next best all- round southern back is Vaughan of tennessee, who has no peer at passing, but seldom kicks. He also is a driving runner. Randy Dixon bows to no one in bunting, and his passing is above average.
 Cy Grant, who played plenty of football for Georgia last season. has been injured in several big games. This has hurt us consider ably, as he was one of Dixie's best runners in 1888.
 Cornelius rates at the top in totin' the ball, but falls a little shy in the kicking and passing de- partments.
 Monk Simons is the race horse in the fast Tulane quartet. He will receive serious consideration for All-South and All-Ameriea honors, because he adds good bunting toe to his ability to register those ell-like runs.
 Among the sophomores there is Bert Johnson, Kentucky ace, and Phil Dickens, Tennessee halfback, who is a real triple-threater. Geor- gia has a Johnson, too, who looks like the goods.
 Among the linemen are a few standouts. Alabama again comes right at the top, with mention for Captain Bill Lee at tackle, and Don Huston, end. Lee is one of those bruising 200-pound tackles for which Alabama is known. Hutson rates special attention because he is a fine defensive end. fine pass receiver, and an efficient cog in the end-around play.
 Earl Wentz of Duke has been playing great as one of Coach Wallace Wade's Hanks, and two of Dixie's best centers are Robinson of Tulane and Mcknight of Geor- gia.

Manager Peter Dunne,
 Clairmont A. c.
 Manager James Bianco,
 South End A. c.
 Gentlemen: The Waterville Maroons, through myself, are desirous of knowing the reason for your unwillingness to meet them in a series of games to decide the semi-pro champion 1t is true Mir Dunne that you approached me in the beginning of the season, suggesting that I put my team upon the field with yours at Waterville Park. I refused and suggested that we wait until the end of the season and you agreed. Now that we are prepared and ready to meet your team you de- sire no part of us.
 It Is equally true MT Biancc, that I sheived a game with the Glenbrook A. c. of Stamford. Con. necticut in order to meet your Bearcats at Hamilton Park on No- venber Il. It is a fact that the Maroons soundly outplayed your team = in fact your team did not once penetrate our forty yard line. Although we have nothing to gain. I am willing to once more put my team against yours.
 As I have suggested to you Gen. tlemen privately, now propose publicly = namely. that the Wa terville Maroons play the South End Bearcats on Thanksgiving af- ternoon at Hamilton Park with the winner to meet the Clairmonts on the following Sunday. December 2nd.
 The Maroons are willing and eager to meet your teams on a CO., 70 or a 70-30 basis.
 Yours in sport,

MAROONS SUGGEST SERIES TO SETTLE
 CITY GRID GROWN
Tracy Challenges Clair- niOnts and South Ends;
 Two Games Proposed


 Just what is what in regard to the local football situation as re- gards a city championship seems destined to remain undecided from inability of the three local teams to play it out on the gridiron for the entertainment of their follow CTS and the satisfaction of them selves. Next Sunday, the Clair monts go to Litchfield, while the waterville Maroons or South End Bearcats have not as yet arranged a game for next Sunday.
 The two latter teams played a scoreless tie at Hamilton Park two weeks ago, which settled nothing, while the Clairfnonts have not played against either one of them. both of whom feel that they are quite able to contest the Town Plotters in view of what happened to the latter in Thomaston last Sunday.
 At any rate, Bill Tracy. mana ger of the Maroons, makes him. self clear in the following note; In which he challenges both the Clairmonts and South Ends to play for city l1onors in two game Here 'tis:
