Cassidy might have an op- portunity to watch some of the more promising subs work out in actual battle. As a league contest, however, ihe Franklin Square students so over- whelmingly bested the 'Bristol boys that it might be classed as a bur- issque. - Incidentally, the locals con- tirued their clean slate adding Bris- to' to the growing list of High school elevens that tried, but unsuccessfully. to cross its goal line. In all four Jeague games played this season, the Red and Gold has not once been rcored on. Makes Good Start. * In the first five minutes of play, the Bristol club looked especially strong. making first downs twice. After that it was merely a question of by how much and not by whom the game was > be won. The locals plowed up the line, chopped the backs down before they had a chance to start their runs, intercepted a majority of the passes and knocked off almost all the re- maining pieces of aerial work, piled up every attempted line plunge,recov- ered half a dozen fumbles, ran back a gumber of punts, and gave the Bristol club an exhibition of rea! broken field Tunninz and faultless in- tarference . Zehrer Makes First. The first score of the game war made when Zehrer nabbed a forward thrown by Griffin and registered, after the Red and Gold by a series of lin- plunges that made the Bell City linc look like so much liquid, had carried the - pigskin to within ten yards of scoring distance. A kick for the goa! was unsuccessful, The second score came when Half- back Davis, who returned to the line- up after an absence due to an injury belted his way through the Red and Wigte for a touchdown. Scores On 50 Yard Run. Another six point tally was rung up when “Dixie” Griffin grabbed the ball in mid-fleld, and with a gasii of speed that bewildered *Chick’’ Monahan's Poys, carried it 50 yards for a touch- down. “Battler” Murtha, fullback, was the vext wearer of the Red and Gold tc register. With a characteristic dive the “Battler” ploughed up the line ana then smeared the backs to the left ang right, blazing the trail to a touch- down. Griffin repeated his feat of a few m/nutes previously when he again tore more than half the length of the field for a touchdown. Delayed Pass Work. On a delayed pass that threw the entire Bristol team to the opposite side of the fleld, Dave Mahoney torc through with scarcely any opposition for the sixth touchdown, and the sev- enth came when “Pattler” Murtha in- tercepted a forwar dpass and regis- tered, Every man in the backfield scored Griffin made 12 points as did Murtha wnile Davis and Mahoney each madc §. Zehrer, plaving at end, made the other touchdown. Team Plays Well. Griffin threw forwards time and again for substantial gains, one of the aerial pieces, thrown to Capt. Femneman, being good for about 20 vards. Capt. Feineman played an ex- ceptionally fine game at tackle. Tha Red and Gold leader was in on every play and many of the tackles were hix. Bentz at center, had the bulk of Bristol's strength to contend with, and he handled the situation well. Cooley, at tackle, was a thorn in the s'de of Bristol's success. He piled 'm up on defense and bowled 'em over on offense with ease, while Rukowski and Schaeffer in the gnard rositicns poked gaping holes in the midway continually. To the Red and White, Ends Zehrer and Meucke ap- peared omnipresent and the Bristol hoys wore not far from right. The backfield worked as a perfect machine. It was the first time in sev- eial weeks that the regular quartet— Gr.fin, Murtha, Davis and Mahoney— Wus seen in action and there was none of the old time pep missing. : Several “Subs” Used. In the last quarter, Bentz was re- lieved at center by Cherpak. “Dom” Naples replaced Meucke at-end when that player suffered a minor injury. Imrham took Rakowski's place at suard and “‘Duke” McCabe went in at tackle. “Doc’ Bray, who had taken Zehrer's place, was replaced by | Jack Butler, who finished the game at right end. 5 The zame was the first league con- test in which Naples, Chehpack, Dur- ham, McCabe and Butler ticipated. games in a halfback position. The Red and White also had oc- casion to use several substitutes but for an entirely different reason than that for which the Red and Gold sec- ord siring men were called into the same. Only One Casualty. Ralpl Waterhouse, Bristol THURSDAY TOM MIX in “TRAFLIN’* with the force of his playing. Tnto, concerning whose playving there was doubt up to the time the team went on the field, came out as well as he went in and except for minor bruises the team finished as well as it started. | TROJANS WIN AGAIN Local Eleven Hands Windsor Locks Team First Defeat in Two Years in That Town. The Trojans football team which is coming along at a fast clip, turnéd in another victory yesterday afternoon. defeating the Windsor Locks eleven in that town 14 to 7. It yas the first defeat the Windsor Locks team has sustained in two years. A crowd of 1,800 enthusiasts witnessed the battle. At the close of vesterday's contest, Manager Leary of the Windsor Locks team, opened negotiations for the ‘I'ro- jans to play a return game in that town. The Trojans have arranged to play the All-Thomaston team in that town next Sunday. N. J. Sidoti has resigned as manager of the Trojans, and A. Begos will handle the duties until a permanent manager is chosen. CHAMPION IN FRONT. Ralph Greenleat Has Clean’Slate in Pocket Billlard Tourney. Philadelphia, Cct. . 24.—With national pockec billiard champion- ship toaruament half over, Ralph Greenleaf, the titleholder, is at the tep of the list of players, having four victories to his credit and no defeats. Greenle £ has played consistently ‘hroughout the tournament, defeat- ing most of his opponents . without rreat difficulty. In his four matches he gatheped runs respectively of 42, 48, 27 and 52. Only one player, Ar- thur Woods of Minneapolis, has sur- passed his high run of 52. Woods collected a run of 57 in one of his matches and 61 in another. Woods, Arthur Church, Yonkers, N. Y., and James Maturo, New York, were tied for second placqd at the end cf tae first week’s play. Each had won three games and lost one. the ey - — school’s all-round athlete, was re- moved from the game in its early stages after suffering a_painful but not serious infury.

D.’s Against the Nutmegs inpenetrabl defense, the visitors' backfield was powerless. Time and again, the ex- soldiers made assaults at the line, only to be held and in numerous occasions. thrown for loss of ground. It was how- ever, the wretched punting of the Elm City kickers, that figured in the Nut- megs' scoring. On two occasions, the Y. D’s managed to make first down through two fumbled punts. At no time during the game was the Nut- megs’ goal line threatened. Parker’s Good Judgement An unusual play brought out a rul- ing.from Referce Parker, that is not contained in the rule book, but the manner in which the former Middle- buty stdr handled the situation showed him to be imbued with football com- mon sense, It happened when the visi- tors on their 10 yard line tried a punt. One of ‘the Nutmegs broke through and apparently blocked the attempt. The ball rolled back of the goal liné and into the crowd, with players on The squad and coaches arrived back this niorning and will immediately start to work in a desperate attempt to present a strong front when Har- vard in met in Palmer Stadium lesa than two weeks hence. Little thought o attention i1 to be devoted to tha Virginia game to be played next Sat- urday, as victories against the Crimson and Blue would go far toward wiping out the sting of,two successive defeats at ths hands of the Navy and Chicago. There is little optimism at this stage of affairs after/ the defeat of yesterday. It is fully realized that Princeton has not scored a point since Lourie and Garrity have been out of the game, and on the shoulders of these two crippled stars rest the chances of vie- tory in the remaining three contests. Wittmer’s and Gilroy’s work have kept 'down the scoring by opponents in both defeats, but no offence has been put forward worthy of the name.. Ken Smith in his debut as a regular back Saturday did fine work, but was with- out assistanca or support. both teams scampering after it. The conditions brought the ball out to the players from .reaching it. Under ordinary circumstances, it would have resulted in a score for the locals, However, Referee Parker in view of conditons brought the ball out to the 30 vard line, giving it to the locals. s0th teams were satisfied with the rul- ing. Every member of the winners play- ed a snappy garme. In the line “Red"” O’Neil was a thorn in the side of the visitors on numerous * oceasions. Rogers, Buchney, Drose, Politis, Con- nelly and F. Barnikow, did sterling work. In the backfleld, it was a pleasure to watch the work of E. Barnikow, Dill, Carpenter and Talbott, The latter is fast attaining the reputa- tion of being one of the _headiest quarterbacks in this sectioh. Scott, Koplowitz and/ Nelson played in the second half, and-their work was all that could be desired. The Game The game was late in starting again vesterday. Captain Barnikow won the toss, and elected to kickoff. He booted the pigskin to the New Haven 10 yard line, and the runner was nailed in his tracks. On the first play the visitors punted, it being the first of a series of weak kicks, The Nutmegs started at once, an onslaught on the Y.

Kaplan did not box Saturday night at Meriden, as scheduled, the show flivvering when neither Freddie Jacks or Jonny Mur- ray put in appearance to box Louis.

Pessimistic After 0-0 Tie With Bucknell. Morgantown, W. Va., Oct. 24— Glpom reigned in the Mountaineers’ football camp over the 0 to 0 tie game with Bucknell Saturday. As a result few local fans have confidence in the ability of the West Virginia eleven to come through- with a vic- tory over Lehigh next Saturday.
