Danbury Trojans Meet Jersey II
 Friday Evening

The Danbury Trojans will try to regain first place in the American association standing when they play the Clifton Wessingtons in Lee sta- diu min Danbury on Friday night. The Trojans hope to win the league title this year, as well as regain the undisputed possession of the state championship which last year they we're forced to share with Bristol. The Wessingtons were the state champions of New Jersey from 1929 to 1885 and have blossomed forth this year with the best team they have ever had. They are headed by All-American Andy Stopper, for mer villanova college halfback, who was the star of the New York Giants College All-star game played early this month ct the Polo Grounds. Andy was the individual star of that game, completing seven passes against the Giants and was the outstanding back on the field. At the conclusion of the game he was voted the worlds fair trophy by the New York sports writers as the best individual performer on the College All Star team.
 The Wessies are explained by Sparky Zadra, Q 6 foot 2 inch 230- pound center, who last year was chosen on the all league first team. Last night the Clifton management announced the signing of Nat Pierce, All-American guard from Fordham and one of the members of Fordham's seven blocks of gran ite." Pierce is 0 200-pound lineman who Is exceptionally fast in swing ing out into the interference and is an exceptionally good down field blocker. On the defense he is prac- tically immovable.
 The Wesslngtons win start Q 200- pound line against the Trojans and will have Bill Henry, @ former Notre Dame end at one of the Hanks. Far afella, North Carolina State grad- uate, at the other end. The tackles will be Kirkland. a 220-pounder from the University of Maryland. Corradino, from Panzer college in New Jersey at the other tackle. The guards will be Joe Levy, from the University of Alabama and the aforementioned Nat Pierce of Ford ham. The starting backfleld will consist of Stopper at left half; Horton, 200-pound fullback from Manhattan: Willets from Cornell at quarterback, and Holburne from North Carolina state. at right half.
 On Their Toes
 The Trojans did not have any game scheduled for Sunday and engaged in a two hour inter-squad Scrimmage. Particularly impressive In the scrimmage was Tom Guinea, former Boston college halfback, whose broken field running and pass catching was e delight to the several hundred fans who watched the practice session. The Trojans also announced today the signing of Warren Huston, former Spring field college halfback, and All-New England selection in l936. Huston is a triple threat left halfback and should 1t nicely in the Trojan at- tack as Q climax runner. Huston spent the 1886 season with the Phil- ndelphia Athletics baseball club and played this year in the Canadian American league. The addition of these two men brings the Trojan backfleld up to ten, the largest number of backs the Trojans have ever had. Although the Trojans are anxious to win the American asso- ciation title they are even more de- eirous Of handing Bristol q real Rood licking. And this thought ia isi the minds of evey man on the Trojan squad.
