Cap- tain Steele is one Hartford boy that the locals should always remember as being a good sport as well as a gentle- manly leader. It is too bad that fate decreed that he should be called upon to represent such an eleven as he had back of him besides the ‘‘poor losing crowd”. Arrival Of Teams. Hartford was first on the fleld when a second team ran through signal drill amid a wonderful reception tendered by their followers. A few moments both of the contesting team put in an appearance and the cheers that greeted them lasted for several minutes. The locals were much big- ger and more active than the Hart- ford team and displayed plenty of dash in the practice. After warming up both teams again retired from the field for final instructions. No time was lost when the elevens returned to the gridiron and at 6, Captain Steele and Connolly met in the center of the field shook hands, and the coin was tossed, the local leader winning first blood and cho: the south goal to defend, giving Hartford the kickoff. The Game. Roulet drove the spheroid far on his boot to Hibbard who ran it back about 10 yards. Several attempts at the line availed the locals nothing and Hartford secured the ball on the vard line. On the first play Dav! the fleet colored halfback made a fine run around the end for 12 yards, two more plays through the line with substantial gains made the locals fans vell “Hold ’em New Britain.” Hard luck then fell to Hartford’s lot and on a fumble a red sweatered New Britain boy recovered the ball. Here a punting duel was engaged in be- tween Steele and Robb in which the local lad had the edge. Up and down the field the ball traveled until the period ended. With the ball in the hands of the Capitol City team they rushed it to the 10-yard line where New Britain held and secured the ball on downs. On the first play the local quarterbacks pulled what was conceded to be a ““bone” when he ran a punt signal and Robb dropped back. The pass was somewhat high and a Hartford man broke through and blocked the kick but the local boy recovered the ball and was thrown behind the line. Consider- able speculation was made over the play and at the end of the half the referee ruled that it was a touchback, thereby giving Hartford two points, despite the fact that other officials ruled that it was no score. This same official who hails from Spring- | field, Mass., did not hand anything to | New Britain throughout the entire ! contest, penalizing them at least sey- times from 5 to 15 yards, while of the misplays of the home en | any eleven had to be flagrant, the Capitol City team escaping with but one pen- alty throughout the game. The New Britain team was clearly outplayed in the opening part of the game, but their spirits were not downed. New Britain Scores, Bradley for New Britain kicked off to Nordlund at the beginning of the second half and a gain of 10 yards was made by that player before brought to the earth by Hibbard. Several attempts at the line were tried to no avail and when the fleet Davis was thrown in his tracks by Captain Connolly, Steele punted to McChristy who by beautiful dodging ran ten yards. Here the locals com- menced to show the crowd some of the fine trick plays taught by Coach Brown, which bewildered Hartford, McChristy was a veritable battering ram for the locals tearing off yard after yard bringing the ball to the 15-yard line. He was hurt at this juncture and time was called for sev- eral minutes. On his recovery he demonstrated that to stop a New Brit- ain player Hartford has to do a more complete job for the fleety back ripped off eight yards on the next play and the ball was within seven vards of the goal line. The well exe- cuted Minnesota shift was next tried and Captain Connolly ripped and tore his way through left tackle crossing the goal line with two Hartford play- ers vainly trying to bring him down. The attempt at goal was a failure. Bradley again kicked off to the Hart- ford right halfback who ran the kick back about 15 yards. The local de- fense stiffened and Steele was forced to punt to Hibbard who gained four yards. McChristy again was sent at the fast weakening line, but Steele got him with a small gain. One of the Hartford players was knocked out and was removed from the game. On the next play, the locals were pen- alized 15 yards and after vainly try- ing to make up the heavy disadvant- age inflicted through the referee route, Robb punted behind the Hart- ford goal line. The ball was brought out to the 20- yard line with Hartford in possession, Davis' was sent at the end but Captain Connolly was there to meet him and no gain was the result. Hartford at this juncture resorted to forward passing but without success, each at- tempt being intercepted, one by Rosenberg which was a pretty play. Captain Steele punted, and the kick was fumbled but a local player re- gained it. By the aid of some pretty shifts the local eleven gained con- siderable ground. Barton took Ros- enberg’s place at quarterback and the locals took on new life. Mr. Referee was again on the job, and New Brit- ain suffered a 15-yard penalty, but Captain Connolly made up consider- able of this on a plunge through the line which netted 20 yards. The plucky little leader was again K. O. but refused to leave the game. Bar- ton on an end run failed to make any distance. Dyson entered the game at this juncture, taking Peterson’s place. McChristy and Connolly made it first down for the locals with the ball on Hartford's 25-yard line, when Timer Dougherty ran on the field an- nouncing the close of the game. The local players hugged themselves with glee, while their supporters cheered aid of the band, a pretty spectacle was presented. The losing team left the field dejected while their follow- ers completely deserted them. BOWLING BATTLES ARE. ARRANGED Annex and Live Oaks to Furnish Feature Gontest Tomorrow Night A crack-a-jack schedule has heen arranged for the varlous bowling leagues competing at the Aetna Al- | leys this week, opening up this eve- ning with the New Britain Machine company bowlers and a game between igers and the South Ends. To- morrow evening will see a game that has been waited for for several weeks, when the Annex and the Live Oaks will clash in the y League series, The Live Oaks are in the lead with a small margin, and as the Annex who copped the honors last son and are out to repeat again this year, are now hitting their stride, a fast battle will no doubt ensue. Another game that is creating interest is the contest between the Tigers and Rang- ers which will be fought Thursday evening. Both of these tedms are closely bunched in the City league and decisive win for either will set- tle a number of friendly arguments that have prevailed since the open- ing of the season.

We have seen Princeton against Harvard when there was ap- parently only a faint shade between the two elevens.
