The score was made in the open- ing of the third period. New Britain carrled theb all on a series of serial | plays to West Side territory, then advanced to striking distance.

On the Tlinois stands, a nine-year- old boy, with tears in his eyes, said to his father: Child Dream Comes True, “I'm going to play quarterback on Tilinois some day, just like brother Al “Brother ‘Al',” that 1911 game, the quarterback in was “Swede” Hall in those days.

This victory entitles the New Britaln high school team to the privilege of play- Ing Windham high for the high echool championship of the state providing they beat Hartford, Last Saturday the Bulkley eleven trouc- ed Crosby by a 84-0 score, It seems at last that by the constant efforts of Coach Cassidy New Britaln has a hard fighting, cooperative eleven which they may be proud of and which is bound to beat Hartford un- less the unforeseen occurs. New Britaln kicked off to Hankle who was downed by Zehrer. After two unsuccessful attempts at line plunging, Rice kicked to Gripp on the fifty yard line. Zehrer made ten through center. There was an un- completed forward pass, then Zehr- er made another first down. Hutchi- son entered in place of La Blanc for Bulkley. O'Brien gave New Britain their thivd first down, Gains by Gripp and Zehrer added twelve aore vards. Johnny Gripp then slipped oft to the side lines and laid low, being undiscovered, he dashed over the goal line with a clear field and received a perfect pass from Zehrer which gave New Britain their first six points. The goal was not kicked but as the Bulkley right end was oft side New Britaln was given the point. Zehrer agaln kicked off to Bulkley, Sheflot recelved the punt and was downed hy Politis and Bojnowskl, First Zehrer and then McCarthy stopped Rice. On the next rush Bulkley got a first down. Zehr- er carried Rice back three yards, Rice fumbled and New Britain re- covered the ball, After two close formations pp attempted a drop from the thirty-five yard line, Miller and Belger got the next two tackles. In spite of a nifty tackle by Nelpp, Bulkley got ancther first down. Mil- ler broke up the next play but Rice kicked offside on the fifty yard line. | Gaing by Zehrer and Gripp gave New Britain another first down. The first quarter ended with Brit- ain having five first downs to their credit and Bulkley two. At the start of the second quarter the Joeal lada had the ball on Bulk- ley's thirty-four yard line. Big gains by O'Brien and Zehrer gave New Dritain a first down. O'Brien gain- ed twelve yards but New Britain was penalized because one of the back- | fierd men was in motion when the ball was passéd. Neipp then re- celved a pass from Zehrer and ran twenty vards for a touch down, This play started from the forty-five yard line, The goal was not kicked. Deodorian smeated Hankle who received the kickoff. A clever run by Rice gave Bulkley their third varsity, out of the corner of his eye saw Hall's possibilities, but not as full or halfback. He made a mental note that this lad was an intelligent {player. “Zup” is decp. When the lilinl fans doped out the varsity of 1923, no one mentioned Harry as a 'possibility for quarterback. But when Tllinois opened its stadium in “Al” Hall, the quartcrback of 1911, sat in the great memorial and saw his brother pilot Illinois to vie- | tory over Chicago. | And when Illinois overwhelmed chigan this year, Hall's defensive |and all-round playing was declared | by more than one critic to be a fea- ture that was only dwarfed by the |amazing exploits of Grange. | Conch Zuppke'e Praise. |“Hall is the kind of player who | Iplays far better in a game than in | I practice,” explaing Zuppke. “He 18 |a good quarterback because he is in- telligent and cool.
