in scrimmage yesterday at College
Park, the Colonials will present Allan
Holt and Ray Hanken at the ends;
Dale Prather and Johnny Rebholz at
the tackles; Izzy Weinberg and Ted
Cottingham at the guards, and Ar
mando Salturelli at center. George
jenkins will start at quarterback and
Herb Reeves, who opened at left half
last week, probably will handle the
fullback assignment.
The opening of the Junior Colonial
League season, postponed last week
because the field wasn't in shape for
play on time, is scheduled for tomor-
row night at 7 o'clock as the prelim-

 Good Idea
 He doesn't expect to get them but Track Coach Harry Hillman of Dartmouth has invited Glenn Cum ningham, Gene Venzke and Joe Mangan to foot 1t in Q special mile at Hanover in connection with Dartmouth's inter-scholast track meet March 14. Hillman terms Dartmouth's board track G 3-4 laps to the mile) one of the fastest in the country. and thinks one of the big three at his best would do 4:06 or 4:07 on 1t. It's Hillman's luck that the Columbia mile will be run in New York March l4.
 Professor George Owen, who made that broadside against alleged overemphasis last fall, is Q coach himself now. Owen, Q whiz at naval architecture, is showing M. I. T. students how to handle the sail- ing dinghies they'll race on the river Charles in the spring. Tech folks think the sport will catch on among colleges located near water.

The game had been sched- uled for last Friday night but was postponed because of the bad weather.
 The girls team played the New town high school team at Newton and lost with the scores 38 to l2.
 Even though the local high school team has not been very successful as far as the win column is con- cerned, the game with the Litchfield Cowboys is one that the. local team Is always primed up for. It will be recalled that a few years back these two teams played three games which were all decided by a one- point margin at the last minute of play. A large delegation of fans from this town is expected to at- tend the game.
