WILDCATS FAMED BY ESQUIRES IN
 CLOSE CONTEST

The Oakville Wildcats were tanned last night by the meek Bunker Hill esquires, when the latter team defeated the Cats" in a hard fought game at Heminway field yesterday afternoon GO. In the first few minutes of play, tho Waterburians were guilty of many penalties of four different occa- sions when they were in striking distance of the goal. Both teams displayed q fine brand of football for three periods.
 Medfard, ace backheld man of hte Esquires, in the last period 'heaved a pass to Earle, the latter making a Frank Merriwell finish by grabbin gthe pigskin and run ming 30 yards for the only markt r of the game. Outstanding on the line were Bradley, Earle. Liddeil and Duncan for the winners.
 The Esquires are so confident that their team deserves the honor of having the valley junior cham pionship that they have hurled a challenge to the other claimants of the title, the Buckinghams of Oakville. If the Oakvillian manager is willing to play a game with the Esquires on Dec. 2nd to decide the championship. he is asked to get in touch with William Oliver by dialing 3-9SS2.

d,
 Bridgeport Central Alumni, one of the pre-tournament favorites, will have a following of several hundred rooters on hand and Mer- iden High Alumni will probably have still greater following. New Haven Hillhouse, Hartford Pub lie, New Britain, Torrington and Wilby of Waterbury will have bountiful support, and Bristol, tra- ditional birthplace of scholastic court kings, will be cheered by thousands. The first game will be- gin promptly at z p. m. with Will by and Torrington squaring off. New Britain and Hartford, Bristol and Meriden, and Hillhouse and Central will collide in successive games. The winners will meet in the semi-finals and final in the Bristol High school gym Saturday at D. m.
 Going Good
 Reserve seat tickets for the tour nament are going like hotcakes. One Bristol section of 300 seats has been completely sold out and others are going fast. Tickets, both reserved and rush, will be sold at the door both nights of the tour- nament.
 Central is one pre-tournament favorite because it will be repre- sented by last years New England titlists, conquerors of Coach Tom Monahan's Bristol stalwarts in the Tufts tournament. Merideh, the dopsters say, won't be far behind, what with the famous five who beat Bristol to pulp in 1883 talk ing part in its name. And Hlil- houses greatest, from Eddie Bobin- ski down to the last man, will be on deck. New Britain, Wilby, Tor rington and Hartford will have lineups studded with the names oI stars of the recent past.
 Leading Central will be the sem sational Ken Mitchell. He brushed off Bristol almost single-handed- ly up in Medford last winter. On Bristors roster will be Andy Pa lau and Albie Gurske, who the year before did as good job Of brushing-off on their CentraI friends in the New Haven arena; "Goof'' Zebrowski, Joe Marc, Watt Utke and Walt Sonstroem. Freddy Ware, Henry Giardi, George Girai- tis, Joe Yyrtek and Scrunt Durkin will answer the call for H. P. H. s.; Vic Baylock. John Franks "Chucky" Wojack, Mirliani, An derson and Retano, for New Br1- tain; Bill Oliver, the Zajacs and Tony Tomkievicz, for Meriden; the steamroller "Wonder Five" led bs Fordham's Andy Vavlocovic, for Torrington, and "Pinky" Reilly, Win Ferrie, Johnny Ruocco.
