The score was 6 to 0, "T'he game was played vefore a crowd 8- timated at 4,000 fans, »nd it woy one ©f the fastest and clearest ever secn at the Silver City. lioth teams were venly matceh, In the matter of ground gained, the Base eleven tung up more first dons than D Britain, hut when the situation Lecun s threatening lor Barnikow's team, the line delense Btiffened, and the backfield of the Gobs found it impossible to pain, Captain Clark was the “wovks” for the Sailors, playing a wonderful game in every department. Iis Kkicking, running and defensive play was all that could be asked for. Several times he hurled long forward passes and had they been .ampleted, New Britain would undoubtcd'y have been Bealen. Flelding, the Indian, was unable to get started; the New Britain ends and line stopping him time and again, Barnikow Scores Touchdown Ihe hero of th: game from a New Bri‘sin standpaint was Captain Ldme| Famous Barnjkow, who scor:d the touchdown i the second period aiter one of th pre‘tiest runs of the day “Barne gfrom his own 38.yard line, ran through left tackle to the 10-yard line slipping out of the hands of three of the Rase players, and was brought to earth by Captain Clark. Belgrade and Pete Help Buccessive smashes into the line by Belgrade and Peterson brought the ball to the one-yard line and Captain Barnikew bored his way through be- tween Frankel and Malone for a touchdown. His attempt at goal failed, the ball hitting the crossbar. In the first minutes of the game, the Base team rushed the ball from their own 30-yard line to New Britain's 2z yard line, where it was lost on a fum- ble, the alert Al. Blanchard pouncing on it. Frankie Barnikow played his first game of the season and his ex- hibitien was of stellar order. Gobs Strong At Finish In the final period, the Base team played a smashing game and for a “time things looked bad for New Brite ain. However with the ball on the ~ . 22-yard line; New Britain held for downs and recovered the pigskin. The closing play of the afternoon was ‘one of the bright features. Captain Barnikew intercepted a forward pass, just before the whistle blew. The work of the New Britain team, proved highly satisfactory to the management, and the bettors reaped & harvest.

The victory of the Kiniry-Lash combination was clean cut. The backfield, which has been weak in some of the previous games, showed much added punch with the acquisition of Belgrade and Frankie Darnikew. The work of the latter was really a treat to watch, and was surprising in view of the fact that the player has not participated to any eoxtent in the sport this scason. Playing before a large crowd of their fellow townsmen Captain Eddie TRarnikow, Joe Rogers and Bob Leary gave a gilt-edged exhibition of the popular autumn sport. The New Britain linemen, Nealon, Politis, Malone and Frankel, were impenetrable most of the time and no better exhibition of end playing has ever béen: shown than that of Jim Conley and Al. Blanchard, in our humble opinion. The game was held up 50 minutes owing to the Submarine Base team meeting with autemobile difficulties n reaching Meriden. The crowd was somewhat uneasy, but after the game under way, everything was The coin of the realm played an fmportant role before the contest, the rooters of both teams seemed to be "well heeled” and anxious to get down a bet or two on their favorites, Hence, a big cleanup for the rooters of Captain Barnikow and his men. The Williams A. C. eleven of New Haven put a big erimp in the cham- pionship hopes of {he All-Bridgeport team at Weiss park yesterday after- noon.

After Princeton had defeated Harvard 10 to 3, the Ells were victorious over Princeton, and then Harvard com- pletely mussed things up when she sent “Mac" Aldrich's team home the lcsers.

The Tiger must face the Bulldog of Yale next Saturday in a final test, but followers of the team that dashed spectacularly from behind to erush such elevens as Chicago and Harvard were confident of a crowning victory, Cornell's Victory Looms Up While the Harvard-Princeton bat- tle held the center of the East's foot- ball stage, keen Interest was mani- fested in scveral other major games, Chief among these was Cornell's vic- tory over Dartmouth, 23 to 0, ut the Polo Grounds; Lafayette's decisive defeat of Rutgers, 33 to 6, at New Brunswick, N. J., and Pittsburgh’s sensational 7-6 decision over Penn- sylvania, at Philadelphia—the second straight setback sustained by the Quakers in their checkered 1922 career and the seventh victory for the Panthers in their last eight en- gagements with the Red and Blue. Cornell's hard-driving, powerful eleven eptablished itself firmly by outplaying, although not outgaining the Green'team that held Harvaril to a 12-3 score two weeks ago. In Cap- tain Eddie Kaw, All-Américan half- back, whose brilliant defensive an® offensive play featured the game, the Tthacans possess one of the outstand- ing stars of the season.

The same Baker booted Princeton's other three points from the field, while George Owen's toe accounted for Harvard's only scoring, three points, in the first quarter.
