TR0JANS AWAIT
 NEW ROCHELLE GRID ii FRIDAY
Night Game at Danbury {; Kern Won Last Sea-
 sons Tussle

Danbury, Sept. 22.-(SpeciaD- Trojan boosters can hardly wait for Friday night and the resumption of the bitter gridiron feud between the Danbury eleven and the New Rochelle Bulldogs, both now mem- bers of the American Professional Football association. Visions of an- other ding-dong battle like the sen- sational struggle in the mud and rain at Lee Stadium last fall are conjured up by the rooters of both elevens as they await the encore performance. It was Ike Kern's 65 yard gallop to a touchdown that did for the Bulldogs last year. It was the prettiest broken field jaunt of the semester at Lee Stadium and featured nip and tuck encounter that provided a thrill-a minute.
 Both Teams Stronger
 There is added incentive for both teams to win Friday nights game. Victroy will boost the Trojans into tie with the Paterson Panthers for the league lead. A win for the Bulldogs will put them right up with the top club. Add to this a natural desire for revenge on the part of New Rochelle and an equal ly ardent urge on the part of Dan- bury to continue supremacy over its foe and you have the where- withal for pulse-stirring football battle.
 Both teams have strengthened considerably over last years com pines. The Bulldogs still retain their Columbia tinge-with Joe Richavich and Joe Ferrara at tackle, Ed Davis and Al Coviello at guard, Hal Chase and Ed Furey at end, and Tony Ciampa at center, but they have secured an entirely new, young backfield. George Furey, the Co., lumbia ace who played in the All Star game, Hudasky and Byrne of Manhattan, and Stelmach of N. Y. U. are all recent additions to the Bulldog array.
 Over and above the Trojan horde which humbled the Bulldogs last year are such stalwart linemen as Art Detzel, Pittsburg and Cleveland Rams tackle, Red Seich of Manhat- tan and the Boston Shamrocks, Butch Pivarnik, ex-Notre Dame guard, Bob Tarrant, Kansas State end, Al Floyd, another Kansas hankman and Marty Ossowski, third member of the Danbury Kansas trio. All are exceptionally able linemen and their presence gives the Trojans two first string frontiers that can keep the pressure on 60 minutes of every game.
