HIGH SCHOOL SCORES WIN OVER PITTSFIELD—NUTMEGS - GET TOUCHDOWN IN LAST TWO MINUTES OF PLAY—KENSINGTON TAKES SECOND CONTEST FROM FALCONS—YANKS FAVORED TO TAKE FOUR GAMES STRAIGHT FROM CARDINALS IN SERIES HIGH SCHOOL ELEVEN IS WINNER OVER PITTSFIELD Local Football Team Puts Be Stopped — Sowka Up Offensive That Cannot Scores First Touchdown — Captain Landino Intercepts Forward Pass and Races 90 Yards for the Second—New Britain Crew Shows Absolute Superiority Over Opposition—The Game. While a light speedy backfield and a hard charging line was carrying on an offense which could not be over- come and a defense which resembled a stone wall throughout the game, 700 football fans saw the New Brit- ain High school football team out- play Pittsfield High school and win by a 12 to 0 score at the Eastern l.eague grounds in that city Saturday afternoon. The victory came after two touch- downs. The first was scored by Ed- die Sowka, plunging fullback, who crossed the line after he and his teammates had marched down the field from the opening kickoff. The second was scored in the ond guarter when Captain Louis Landino intercepted a Pittsticld forward pass on his own 10 yard line and raced 90 yards for a touchdown. Attempts to score the extra points failed. The score hardly does justice to the superiority of the Ited & Gold team. A conservative estimate would {place New Britain at least four touchdowns better than the Berk- shire high tea Twice was New Britain stopped within the shadows of its opponent’s goal line. On the second occasion the sturdy Pittsticld team held within a foot of the goul line for four downs. Some of the fans might eriticize the team for lacking the punch to put a score across, but two fucts must be taken into consideration The team made a 75 mile trip in a crowded bus and arrived about two hours before game time. At the same time it niust also be taken into con- sideration that with one exception the same team which started the game was there in the final quarter when it was stopped at the goul Une. The team was “fagged out.” New Britain may be proud of the showing of the team in the game. Every man on the line and every man in the backfield did his sh.

One of the bad features of Britain's play was its loss of approxi- ,mately 90 yards through penalties. Most of these were for offside. matter against which Coach expects to drill his team next week. There are a few matters to be im proved upon before New Britain's big games with Hartford Public High, Stamiord High school, and New Haven Hillhouse High school, but as a whole the team at this stage of the season is more than 50 per cent better than last year's team.

The game was wit- nessed by a fair sized crowd that was treated to an exciting contest of ball. Both teams enjoyed two big innings, the Kensington crew bang- ing out five runs in the third and the Falcons coming back to push four runs across the plate in the fourth. | *“Coke” Woodman, Eastern League | star, was again in great form and | had the game well in control out- | side of the fourth inning. In this session the Falcons suddenly landed on his offerings and drove out five ccessive hit to score fowur rums. tightened up and ield the New Britain aggregation to | four nits for the remainder of the game. He had his fast ball work- ing to perfection and sent 16 Falcon batters back to the hench via the The Falcon batters cither struck out or hit safely. Every man on the Falcon team was a victim of Woodman's curves at least once. “Johnny” Klatka and | McCleary, two of the Polish team's heaviest hitters fanned the air three times cach. “Lefty" Atwood started in the | box for the Falcons and after pitch- ing great ball iu the first two innings suddenly weakened and the Ken- | sington Dbatters drove him out of | the box under a barrage of bingles in the third iuning. This rally | |brought the Kensington aggregation five runs and practically put the | game on ice, It was the first time | car that Atwood was forced to | leave the box before the game was completed. Nichols then went into | the box for the Falcons and pitched | a sweet game, holding the winners to two hits and two runs. The game two weeka ago between the two teames featured by clever fielding while yesterday's battle was | a combination of good fielding and heavy clouting. The Kensington crew banged out 10 safe blows while the Falcons connected for nine Dingles. In the fourth inning a decision by Umpire “Rip” McKeon at third Lase threatened to end the game in a tree-for-all. The Falcons were in the midst of a rally and had scored four times. With no outs and Reil- ley on second, Nichols drove a hard smash at Woodman who pivoted around and hurled the sphere to| Darrow at third. MeKeon called | Reilley out at the base hut the Fal- | cons ran out into the filed claiming that Darrow dropped the ball. Me- Keon stationed in back of the base and evidently his view of the ball was blocked for Darrow clearly dropped the ball on Woodmaw's peg and scooped it up without making a play on Reilley. An argument that was hot and bitter was the result and it was nearly 1o minutes before the game was resumed. The play cut short the Falcon rally. The work of both catchers fea- ! tured the game. Huband caught ast slants of Woodman to per- tection and held the Faleon run- Noonan dug wild all after- noon and crashed out two long dou- bles. Noonan found Woodman for four hits in two games proving that is still the premier catcher in the city. McCormick, the fastest man on the Kensington team, at- tempted to steal second base and met the fate that all base runners who try to steal on Noonan meet with. In plain English, “Mickey” threw him out by a mile and then some., The infield work of both teams was good while the outflelders made a number of great catches. McCor- mick smeared threc blows in cen- ter field that were beauties while he The |Soule made a shoe string catch in | right 1d that pulled Nichols out a hole. Scriminger had a field day at bat, connecting safely in four times at bat. McCormick end Noonan shared honors with him, each getting two safe wallops. Both teams were retired in order the first inning. The Falco were again the vietims man's slants in the first half of the second. Scriminger sent out the first hit of the game in the last half of the session but was left stranded.

West received his second walk in the inning and the bases were filled. Atwood was taken from the box and Nichols replaced him. Nichols promptly fanned Woodman ending the inning. The fourth inning proved to be & big Falcon session. Klatka, Lewls, McKernan, Noonan and Reilley hit in succession and four runs were scored. Nichols hit to Woodman who threw him out at third. Here the dispu*s took place and the game was held up a long time. At the resumption of play Patrus hit into a double play McCleary opened the fifth inning with a line single to right but Woodman promptly struck out Soule, Klatka and Lewis in succes- sion, Neither team scored again until the seventh, Hits by Huband and Scrfminger, combined with a walk, gave Ken- sington two more runs in the sev- enth. A hit by patrus together with a bingle by Soule and Snyder's er- ror gave the Valcons their fifth run in the eighth. In the ninth in- ning Woodman sent his fast ball fly- ing over the base with wings on fit.

BLUES SCORE DECISIVE WIN OVER BRISTOL TEAM Local Foothall Eleven Defeats Bell City Aggregation By a 25 to 0 Score ensington No doubt was left in the minds of anyone yesterday afternoon as to the completencss:of the revenge of the New Britain Blues football team over the West Ends of Bris- {tol when the local aggregation smeared the Bell Towners to the tune of 25 to 0. Over a period of | xix years, this leaves the count be. |tween the two teams, three wins for New Britain, two defeats and one tle game. The locals completely out- classed their opponents in every de- partment of play. The Blues received the ball on the kickoff and started a steady march down the field stopping’ only after Casparini scored a touchdown on a six yard plunge through center. ¥rom then on, it was only a matter of how much the locals would score before the game ended. The Biues' line opened big holes through the ‘West End defense and the backfield executed a series of trick plays that baffled the tacklers on the other side. The large crowd which witnessed the game was treated to spectacular broken fleld running especially by { Al Fengler, who, by the side of ef- | ficient interference, scored three touchdowns.

YALE SCORES WIN NUTMEGS SCORE WINNING GOAL NEAR END OF GAME Red” O'Neil Recovers Ball After Blocked Kick and Belonki Carries Ball Over — All-Torrington Crew Surprises With Strength of Offense and Defense— Terrible Exhibition Seen In First Half While First- [N OPENING GAME But Fails to Show Much Stal in Maive Victory (Special te the Herald)® New Haven, Oct. 8.—Yale's foot- ball team falled to show much in either strength or weakness Saturday afternoon as it plodded mechanically to a 27-0 victory over Maine in its first game of the season, but it must be admitted that the thlance ap- peared to be on the side of weak- ness. The Pine Tree Staters pre- sented a well-drilled eleven which gained almost as much ground as the Blue and popped passes into Yale territory for such consistent Rains that Yale was fortunate to es- cape being scored upon. Yale had enough punch to push over four touchdowns, but whether this same attack can turn back the stronger opponents of the later season is problematical. 8till, it was not a discreditable showing for an open- ing game, Estimates of strength are made | quite impossible by the fact that | Yale's first eleven played for only | the first quarter, during which time | it rolled up 14 points in workman- | like but uninspiring manner. The Eli line appeared quite effective in this period, opening good holes for Garvey and Hoben and stemming Maine's attempts to gain on straight football. After the regulars retired the showing was poorer, the substi- tute linemen finding the green Down Easters almost their equala Despite advance predictions to the contrary, Coach Stevens continued | “Tud" Jones' system of one-man ball | carrying, Garvey bearing the brunt | of the attack in the first quarter and showing the same brilllancy he first displayed late last fal Hoben also took the ball for good gains on eev- eral occasions but retired early with & pulled tendon which is expected to keep him out of the Georgia game. Lampe replaced Garvey and made yardage consistently, while Loud made the most spectacular play of the day when he broke through off tackle in the third period and dodged and raced his way for 60 yards and a score. Yale exposed a glaring weakness in defense against forward passes, Maine completing fully halt of a large number of aerial heaves and carrying the ball within threatening distance on several occasions. Luck- ily for Yale, it was at these times that passes were missed or penalties inflicted on the invaders, so Maine never got inside the ten-yard line. Coach Btevens will have to develop & better aerial defense if he expects to stop Hawley's passing Dartmouth eleven. Yale could not use the pass itself very well Saturday, its endings proving no Scotts nor Fishwicks in this or any other department. One ! end, McCiven, continually roughed the Maine kicker and was finally penalized for ft. In short, Yale gave no signs of real power such as that possegsed by last year's team—but it was a first game and no over much could be expected. At least, Yale did not fumble once, and this evidence of careful drilling in handling the ball is almost unique for a season. opener. One Yale man—name and number unknown—made the prize bull of the afternoon when he forgot he was playing in 1928 and not 1927. Last vear a lateral pass was dead where grounded, but this year it is still in play. Maine tried one and missed connectlons by yards, and n» Yale player carelessly stopped the ball progress and walked away. It was not until the referee gave the ball to Yale at that point that the unthink- ing vouth realized what a chance he had overlooked. Rate Ball Is Played In Diving on the ball which a mo- ment before had been the object of a scramble of 22 football players after a blocked kick within the shadows of team's goal posts, Captain “Red” O'Neil of the Nutmeg A. C. eleven put New Britain in a scoring posi- tion just two minutes before the final whistle, Just after this, Belon- ki, new addition to the team from Torrington, plunged over the line fopsthe points that gave New Brit- ain a victory. The contest was played at Me- | morial fleld in Willow Brook park Sunday afternoon before a smaller crowd than usual due probably to the world series and other attrac- tions of the day. However, those who were present were treated to the worst type of game in the first half and the best seen in the pro- fessional football in the second frame, Those who figured the All-Torring- ton team was to be a set-up for the Nutmegs were away off. The teams were evenly matched in the first half neither had the edge and the ball did not move much further than 20 yards each stde of mid-field. In the first half each team scored two first downs, but in the second half New DBritain made six first downs to its opponent’s one and had a total of eight to Torrington's three. It was plain to be seen even in the early part of the game that the team which received the “breaks” was to be the winner. This predic- tion was brought out in the last quarter just as the minutes were flying away. Here is how the play came about: Joe Rogers was was at ecenter throughout the game “cooked it up” with “Silent John" Davis when they knew Torrington was going to punt. Rogers was to pull his man out of the way and Davis was to go flying through and block the punt. The' plan worked perfectly and a thing that happens once in 4 lifetime oc- ;ur;aa—; backfleld man blocked a ick. player tried to pick it up, but juggled it. It bounded first to New Britain then to Torrington and finally there was a pile of legs and arms and when the pile was unscrambled there was & late arrival on the ball, “Red" O'Nell who had just returned to the game after being out since half time. Belonki slipped through a hole at left tackle and crossed the line for the touchdown. The try for the ex- tra point, & drop kick, was short by several feet. The backfleld which started the game consisted of Radzewich, quar- terback; Conley and Buckley, half- backs, and Zehrer, tullback. In the second half Zehrer and Conley went out of the game and Belonk! took the halfback positfon and Davis went in at fullback. Then the action started. Some of the best offensive football seen on the lot in many years was put in by Buckley and Belonki. The latter 18 & find’ If ever there was one and Buckley is a tower of strength at his posttion. Belonki took the kiekoff and ran 25 yards and on the first play he tig-zagged through the line to with. in a foot of first down. Davis made it first down. Belonki again took the ball and ran 23 yards to the 18 yard line and just as New Britain was getting ready for a touchdown Vie Radzewich fumbled and Tor. rington recovered, the All-Torrington | Immediately a New Britain |O'N Second. Torrington could not make any headway and it kicked to Belonki who was tackled just as he got his fingers on the ball; he crawled to where the ball lay but a Torrington man was there just a split second before him and it had possession of the ball on New Britain's ¢§-yard line, Torrington made nihe yards on & double pass and the fullback ran through center for 10 yards and a first down, Torrington however, lost the ball. Vic Radzewich teok the ball on Torrington’s ¢5-yard line and |ran 65 yards for a touchdown, but the officials declared that he ran outside after he had covered 3 yards and the ball was brought back to this mark. Belonk! and Buckley staged a for- ward passing attack which earried the ball into Torringten territory in the last quarter, but the team 1 wasn't able to get a first down when it was within 30 yards of the goal line. Two drop kicks were tried without success. Vic Radzewich was called upon on Sach occasion. The only first downs in the first half weré forward passes, Buckley to Bernie Conley; Radsewich to Zehrer, and a forward pass from o Torrington back to Kelly, Torrin ton end, and one of the stars of the game. Torrington's other first down was on a penaity. Although Buckley and Belonki were the stars of the New Britain team, Joe Rogers played a fine game at center. Abrahams also was a strong cog in the Torrington ma- chine. ‘The lineup: Nutmeg A, C.
