Greatly outweighed by the ecleven from the [EIm City, Captain Connollys boys en- ered into the fray with a determina- on to add another championship to heir laurels, and the visitors who seemed certain that victory would be heirs without much effort avere over- gonfident. There were several inci- [dents during the afternoon that kmarred what might have been a vory Ipleasant. time. First was the low fmean tactics employed by the visitors after the home lads had crossed their lgoal line, who resorted the. fisticulfs on every occasion when the referec back was turned, anl often while he was watching the play, the second he- Hng the altercation between Coach Brown of the locals and Captiin Rice of the yisitors. which resulted in tie visiting'player getting a well deserved mash on the jaw.

Open Plays a Failure. | The teams battled up and down the field for the remainder of the period, | the visitors resorting to forward | passes which went wild on every oc- | casion except in the first period when | Hitehcock threw to Mansfleld who was | laying on the line far from the other | players and who ran twenty-five yards | before Connolly brought him to the | carth. Ferocity on part of the New | Haven players was noticeable in the final period, and time and again play- ers were forced to lie on the ground | while their injurics were being patched up. When: the ocasion hap- pened to be a New Britain player, Captain Rice would shout that not over two minutes ‘would be allowed, and when the crowd jeered him, he again gave an exhibition of his lack of conduct becoming a gentleman by | wiggling his fingers to his nose, in the presence of young women and girls. Toward the end of the period, New Britain secured the ball and rushed it to the 20-yard line but lost it on downs. Darkness was fast overcom- ing the field, and the players were very hard to discern. New Haven tried three forward passes all which eam was penalized which made their iwork all the harder, the visitors how- getting away with 'thing | were intercepted by the locals and just as the whistle sounded, ending the Fernald was forced to punt to Bar- | leaders of | goal and the hopes of the local root- | Annex ith the Tool Room tied for first company league, v and the Office fi place.

The ending of the first half came at a crucial moment. i Locals Score First. Honors for the victory should be fequally divided between Captain Con- nolly,- Quarterback Barton and Hik- bard whose work scintillated through- out™the “affernoon. Aided by two | beay f\[l runs netting sixty vards by the ibcdl leader, the ball was car- | ried to within twelve yards of the vis- jtor’s line, but it was out of hounds and as the home boys gathered to try ffor the final dash the trick play ~vhich has been used to advahtage ithis season was pulled off, resulting a touchdown being made by Con- fnolly. To the dismay of the faus, the lofficials disallowed the score, and the iball' was brought back. Tt was during lthe argument that followed that the Mncident between Rice and Brown oc- yeurred. The whistle blew before the {boys had a chance to advance the ball Lending the period. When ‘the pla |was resumed, a beautiful forward pass was cxecuted, Barton to Hibbard, for |2 ten yard gain but a fifteen yard pen- aity, was imposed on New RBritain. lwith the prospects dwindling for a iscore, Barton again repeated his for- \ward pass play to Hibbard, who car- irled/ the ball over the line for a ltouchdown and Bradley kicked the igoal that clinched the game. The at- tack-of the locals was flerce in the Mfirst. half,, & number of the Elm City eleven ‘having been knocked out re- Jouirtng attention. 3 Some Officials, Ag’an' indication of the 'apparent junfairness of the officials, New Brit- \ain was penalized fifteen yards on one occasion when Coach Brown went on the field when' Connolly was hurt, but | when Coach Cawley rushed -out to speak to his players which he did on 100 y occaslons, to enumerate, no attention wasg paid to the violation of the supposed rule, whereby New Brit- ain was penalized. Another gross case of blindness on part of the officials was when Cusanelli retired in the sec- ond period but’got back into play in a few minutes when' things looked bad for his mates. New Britain has ac- cepted the spoils of victory In a rath- er modest way of late, the winning of championships becoming a regular the football teams of the schdol, but too much predit can not e bestowed upon the :lads who on Saturday defeated eleven visiting players and the officials. Luck Favors Visitors. Some surprise was shown at the beginning of the Secand half, when Bradley again kicked off to the wvisitors. Cusanelli who had started at center was playing in the backfield and his work was very aggressive against the home line. On the first scrimmage, Peterson was ’knocked out and was carried from thl field be- ing replaced by Dyson, who failed to L1ill the role and XKallgren was called : peli. . coming for his achievement was over- ! which was gobbled up as fast as | avenue sent the glow of victory high | Captain Rice scored for his team it is true, but his work was so dirty and his language so unfit to be heard in the presence of even ani- mals, that any credit that might be shadowed. Fans Make Merry. The local contingent of fandom rushed on the field and congratulated the visitors. Captain Connolly, Bar- ton and Hibbard were carried off the field on the shoulders of their admir- ers. The betting fraternity ‘cleancd up”, the visiting moneyed men of- fering odds of 10 to 6 on their pets, it showed. The High school gymnasium was the scene of merriment in the eve- ning when the players and their friends gathered for a dance and cele- bration. A huge bonfire on Rockwell into the sky, and as its embers died | out early in the morning, the faithful local rooters remembered the signi- ficance, and felt like praying for the heroes who had survived the attacks of Captain‘ Rice et. al. from New | Haven. Coaches Deserve Credit. Now that the season has closed, it is but fitting that a word of praise should be forthcoming for the efforts of Coach Fioyd Brown and Physical Director W. G. Moorehead of the public schools. At the outset of ,th_e season, these two officials were handi- capped by lack of support usually af- forded similar officials in other cities. A certain element angered because things had not gone just to suit them, failed to remember that they were still looked upon as alumni of the school, and openly boasted of thelr withdrawal from supporting the elev- en, under Brown and Moorehead. So in face of the fact that these two men whipped together a team that captured the championship, the credit alone belongs to them and the eleven, and not to any disgruntled outsiders. RACES GROW CLOSE ON ZTNA ALLEYS | Teams and Players Are Closely Bunched for Honors Having disposed of the Tigers, their nearest competitors, the Live Oaks of the City league, are in supreme command of the race for the pennant honors, and judging’ from the consis- tent work of the members of that| quintet their hopes will be realized. The clash between the teams during the past week furnished plenty of fireworks, the Live Oaks winning two games out of three. It required how- | ever, for the equalling of the league high single score by Thompson to put across the victory, and when the two | teams meet again, there are plenty of bowling fans who will pin their saith in the downfall of the Live Oaks.

Cambridge, Mass., demonstrated against Cornell, Horween, the Harvard fullback, developed a style of plunging or, t some experts class as hurdling. It's not out and out hurdling, but a combination of hurd- ling and diving over the line after the manner made famous at Columbia days of yore by Harold Weeks. Bill Langford of Trinity, one of the most efficient football officials in the coun- try, refereed the Cornell game at Cambridge and passed Horween’s method of locomotion as being with- in the law. On some occasions Hor- ween was within the wording of the rule, but on others he seemed guilty of hurdling even according to the strict interpretation of the definition. Rule 6, section 2, defines hurdling in the line as “jumping over or attempt- ing to jump over a player on the line of scrimmage, with both feet or both knees foremost, within the distance of five yards on _either side of the point where the ball was put in play.” The penalty is fifteen yards. Quite a number of football critics from this city saw the game, and many were of the opinion that on a Bill has number of occasions Horween was hurdling and that the style might be in violation of the spirit if not the wording of the rule. At any rate it opens up an interesting topic and suggests that there might be a more explicit wording of the definition of hurdling. For having attained such great ef- ficiency in his specialty Horwecn de- serves a world of credit, for it takes considerable vigor and g0 through with his “hurdle.” He we finally forced to leave the game with what looked like a fractured wrist. If Horween found the Cornell line closed to progress he usually made a half dive and half hurdle over the first bulwark to find lodgment under the secondary defense. Several others among the Harvard backs, Hitcheock in particular, also tried the Horween method, and there were evi- dences that all had been working to perfect the fullback’s specialty. An official discussion of the style was held on the field during the game with the Massachusetts Aggies two weeks ago, and there may be others coming.
