(N, B. SHOWS WELL ILLINOIS LOOMING ~[SEVEN BIG TEAMS Defeats Hillhouse High of New Haven in League Game by 25-6 Score. The heavy and highly praiscd | team representing Hillhouse high of | New Haven suffered a severe trounc- ing, 25-8, at the hands of the New Britain lads Saturday afternoon at Memorial field. New Haven was un- fortunate in losing the valuable lead- ership of Captain Stevens who got a sprained ankle in the beginning of the s quarter. Bolognaise and other first string men were injured | but the licapped team fought | grimly till the last minute of play, tightening up in the last half and allowing New Britain to get only one touchdown after the greatest effots. The New Britain team worked like a top, having well organized inter- ference and no fumbles. The bz fleld men were all given a chance to “do their stuff” and they sure did scize the opportunity. While Johnny Gripp was out of the game as the result of injury, Neipp did most of the punting, filling the position very credibly. Deodorian played a won- derful game from start to finish and had it not been for the hard fighting e which held like a stone wall and repeatedly broke v Haven's de- fense, the backs would never have been able to make the fine showing that they did. Zehrer kicked to New *Haven's goal line and the runner was drop- ped before he had made much head- way. After Stevens lost on an end run, New Haven kicked to New Britaln. Shert gaine by Gripp and Stromquist and a fifteen yard cun by Zehrer brought the ball to the twen- ty-five yard line where Gripp tried an unsuccessful drop kick. New Haven, again unable to galn, kicked to Gripp who made a fair catch. Gains through the line by Strom- quist and O'Brien netted New Brit- ain a first dowh. Zehrer then took the ball and rushed twelve yards. | Clark gave them a fifteen yard penalty for holding. Beloin made eight yards on a pass, Nelpp trled another drop and Zehrer caught the ball from New Haven who fumbled. Neipp Kicked a long perfect spiral giving Belser a chance to throw the run- ner immediately. Nelpp blocked a kick, New Haven recovered the ball and Roberts was thrown for a loss by Stromquist. Belser ran a punt back twenty-five yards, Seully en- tered in place of Politls,. New Ha- ven lost fifteen yards on a fumble. In the last quarter New Haven had the ball on their own twenty- five yard,line. Deodorian threw the fullback for a fifteen yard loss, Bel- ser ran a punt back twenty yards, gains by Zehrer, Belser and O'Brlen netted w Britain twenty yards. Then, with oae yards to go for a touchdown and one down to make it in, Zehrer took the ball over for the final score. O'Brien kicked a perfect goal making the score 265-6. In the last f8w minutes of play Coach Cassidy gave several deserv- ing second team men a chance. Those that entered the fray were Haber, Gourso, Lacava, Claire, Gennett, Anselmo¥Hennessey and Garston. Gourson who had Just gotten a chance to get warmed p, broke through the line and tackled one of the backfield men ten yards behind the line of scrim- mage. ’ In order to strengthen the defense during the game Zehrer played de- fensive end, Neipp defensive center and Miller defensive halfback. Miller played a steady game against a hard man, making every one of his passes perfect, Politis, Bojonowski and McCarthy, sturdy line men, also did their bit toward hringing victory to the Red and Gold.

In less than 12 minutes of the opening play, Grange, dodging, squirming, twist- ing and finally running as only he can run, scored four touchdowns after four of the most sensational sprints seen on any gridiron in years, Wisconsin and Minnesota, as a result of their 7.7 tie, stood apart, teams ha splayed opponents which would give an index to their strength compared with the south-' ern and western teams of the Big Ten. The index will be furnished next week when Wisconsin plays Michigan and Minnesota meets Towa. The Harmon brothers, new- comers at Wisconsin, bid all their team's scoring, while Schutte, the new Minnesota star, made his team's score and stepped into the lead for Minnesota touchdowns this season with three.

The score alone does not indicate how much the visitors were outplay- ed by the rejuvenated New Britain warriors. Throwing out a speedy and baffling offense, that was hither- to unseen, the local athletes ran the Sub Base ends and pierced; the strong visitors’ line almost at witl. Chester Sanford, flashy Colgate back Stan Kennedy, for Trinity captain and diminutive Tom /Tully led the fiery attack that surprised even New Britain’s most loyal supporters. It was Sanford's broken field running that threw the crowd into ecstasy time after time and it was Sanford’s forty yard dash that placed New Britain in a position to make its first score and it was Sanford's pretty skirt oft the SBubmarine Base right end that scored New Britain's touchdown. #anford hooted the ball between the uprights for the seventh point, Interference counted. Using the Iowa ‘huddle system’ for calling their plays, the players knew where all the plays were go- ing, something that was lacking in all previous games. Thean carry- ing the ball was given almast per- pect imm“h-rr-nuc and this accounted for the large gains. At times it seem- ed that the New Britain backs would race for touchdowns from scrim- 'mage but some flashy sailor would appear in the shadow of their goal and pull down the goalward bound athlete, Joe Tully was lost to the locals in the second period when he made a hard tackle that saved the day for New Britain. One of the Blue backs New Haven intercepted a pass but was forced to kick again. Zehrer made fifteen more yards through center. New Britain was penalized ten yards for holding and Gripp made elght around the end. The gains by Captain Zehrer were the outstanding features of the first quarter. The second quarter New Haven was penalized for unofficial interfer- ence with a pass and Stevens had to go out of the game because of his injury. Nelpp missed a drop | kick from the thirty-five yard line, Deodorian made a neat tackle and New Haven kicked out of danger. Zehrer made fifteen yards through tackle, O'Brien added five more and broke through on an off tackle play and headed down the open field with only the little quarterback be- tween him and a six point tally. Realizing the possibility of a miss on a straign: tackle, Tully threw him- self into the air directly in front of the speedng runner, downed his man but was knocked out. Stan Kennedy went in at quarter. “Slim” Politis also went out on injuries and was replaced by Neil- son, who failedeto make the expect- ed showing and the S. 0. S. was sent to Tommy Dully. There was notice- able improvement when Dully went into the line. Barnie Conley who went in during {the second period turned in his best out the contest, fought to a 14-14 tic with the sturdy Dartmouth eleven.

The Blue then swept into position for an attempt at field goal which was missed.
