Pauw's victory over Indiaha were the surprises and field goals did the trick In each case, Columbia seems badly in need of a good quarterback. In this respect Yale seems to be better off than for a number of years. Richeson looks like a real find as a fleld general. He's peppy full of fight, runs the team smoothly and can carry the, ball well himself. Neldlinger, last year's quarter, will have n tough task to wrest the first cholee from this little player, Ted Hart of this city got into the North Carolina game at end for Yale Saturday, He played well while in there, Ben Butterworth, a son of Frank Butterworth famous back in the ninetles is a promising tackle at Yale. ' Stevens, a halfback, also looms aa a bright find for the backfield. O'Hearn at halfback, is in his place and he should be: heard every game this fall. , The Bulldog plays Georgia Saturday and Bucknell on the right from next 20th. By beating the Giants 6-1 yester- day the Robins gained an even hreak with the champs for the season, each team having won 11 games. Tris Speaker got another double yesterday, increasing his two base hit record to 59. Incldentally the Indians vanquished the Chisox 9-6. Babe Ruth hit the first ball pitched to him yesterday for a homer, thus tving with Cy Williams at 41 home runs each. Incidentally the Yanks lost 9-7 in the ninth. Kansas City won the A, A. pennant yesterday by nosing out St. Paul on the final day of the season. About 100 loyal fans from New Britain followed the High school team to Watertown Saturday.

With the exception of the New Britain fans their were (ew outsiders at the game, The Red and Gold will play its sec- ond home game next Saturday against the Wilby High school of Waterbury.

A forward pass, Crulkshank to McCauley, resulted in the second touchdown, S8core 17 to 0, Taft kicked to Zehrer and the first balf ended on the next play. Grip went back in the game and Damico took Rogin's place at tackle to start the second half, Irom then on the team played a better brand of bail. Although entirely on the de- fense they put up a game struggle and held the faster and heavier Taft | team without a field goal until the last minute of the last quarter when a forward pass to Gilana was intercept- ed by Cruickshank who made a touchdown after a run of 30 yards. In the third quarter Cruickshank made another drop kick. This time it was from the 15 yard mark. Zehver Plays Well With’ the exception of two fumbles Zehrer played the best game for New Britain. He carried the ball often and received some hard Lnocks but he came up fighting all the time. In the last play of the first half he was hurt. In the last half Giana ran with the ball after Taylor had fum- bled it, and Walker also’caught the ball and carried it. The summary: Taft Prep New Britain High Soby .. ' Giana Edwards Sturgee ..
