CROSBY, 'GREEN' AND LIGHT ITO
 START. SATURDY
Entire BackfleId Must Be Built By Coach; McNeI-.
 lis, McSherry Ends p

Last tall the CroSDy football team upset all preseason dope by .wiri- ming the city championship aud walloping every foe but Norwich. Led by the hard fighting Eddie Borzilauskas, the Blue and White swept through one of the most Slics cessful seasons ever known at Crosby. n
 However, the team that trampled Wilby last Thanksgiving day has suffered greatly by graduation. The entire backfield of Tony Urcinas, the greatest halfback Since Winnie Renzo. Red Vallone, whose blinditg speed around the ends will long be remembered, "Squint" Murphy, Q great ball carrier, and Jack Johnson, stalwart fullback have all walked the graduation plank. On the line, only Capt. Fritz Borzilauskas and Joe Vascosi are left from the team that took the field against Wilby.
 Uncertain
 Not & too promising outlook inc deed for Coach Schofield for the coming seson. Along with Borzi- lauskas and Vescosi, however, three other letter men who saw quite Q little action will be back-McSherr McNellis and Nardozzi. These five boys form the nucleus around which Coach Schofield must form the 1887 edition of the Crosby team.
 Faced with the prospect of dee veloping an entire new backfeld, Mfr. Schofield Is pinning his hopes on a bunch of inexperienced young sters. At left half, Joe Margolis has weight and speed, runs hard and elusively, and should develop with Q little experience. Charley Foster 1S at present holding down the right halfback position. Charley Is prob ably the fastest 1O0-yard man in school, blocks viciously, and plays Q hard all-around game. Foster looks like a natural athlete, and should go places before very long. Kane Is also showng up well at the right halfback post. .A
 At fullback, Jimmie Day, Q junior and captain of the basketball team, seems to have the edge. Day is six feet tall, weighs l70 pounds, and IS ruggedly built-all the makings of a fullback. However, Mancini, Q squarely built sophomore, Is giving Day Q battle for the fullback poSi- ton and may yet win 1t from him!
 Calling signals at present iS "skeets" Galullo. "Skeets" Is rather light. and has had no experienced but he has the fiery pep and dash necessary for a greater back. GaluliO Is in there fighting every minute. and just now seems to have the job ctnched. However, Bill Coolidge, Q senior, and Bob Roland, a sophos more, are both anxious for the field generals job, and are doing their best to beat Galullo out of the posis ton.
 All Set
 At the ends, Pete McSherry and Bob McNellis, both seemed to have become permanent fixtures. Mo. Sherry won his letters last year, and although rathr light, Is Q natural athlte, can be cunted on in the pinches. McNellis also won'his let~ ters last year, Is big, fast and poW7 erful, and should develop into fine wing man. "Pinkie" Woods IS 4 new candidate, who gives promise ot developing Into 0 capable end. oo,
 Holding down the tackle positions are Capt. Fritz Borzilauskas and Nardozzi. Borzilauskas was Q 6Q1 minute end last year, is big and rugged, runs the sprints on the track team, can play any position on the teain-and play 1t well. Be- cause of his speed and ability to run In Q broken field, Capt. Fritz may yet be shifted to the letf halfbaoE post Nardozzi also won his letters last year, and has definitely won . Job in the varsity line at tackle.
 Mazzareila and Mollica have won the call at the guard positions. Mag" zarella saw some service last year, but Mollica Is newcomer to tho~> team, and has had no experience. Both boys are powerfully built however, and should help make the Blue line Q very tough one to break:
 Joe Vascosi, weighing lo0 poundss and packing the punch and drive ot a rafnpaging bulls Is due to DO shifted from his old guard position to the rowing centers job. Joe Is 2 vicious tackler, and last year seemed to be the fifth man in the opA. ponents hackfield-a man whom opS ponents may have reason to feaA Coach Schofield is as yet, howevEA as to whether to use Vass. cost at center or in the backfield and Joe may see service ct eitnes place. start Saturday
 The team, green and inexperienced IS 1t is, opens its schedule saturday In Hartford. As yet, one cannot pres dict the outcome of this contest, ae litle Is known of the ability ot either team as c unit.
