Stamford scored 89 points to its opponents 6. It defeated Milford High school 24 to 6; Yonkers High school, 40 to 0; and Ansonia High school, 25 to 0. Stamford had a mighty good team last year, in fact it has a good team year in and year out; and not a little credit for its subcess is due to Coach Michael A. Boyle, who has been training Stamford grid teams for 22 years. Last year his team went through the season undefeated {until the Warren Harding High ischool game which ft lost 12 to 0, and with the defeat came the loss of the state championship, In that game the Stamford team was hope- | lessly crippled, four regulars being | out of the lineup after a tough game three days before, One of them had a broken leg, another had a broken shoulder, and the other two were crippled enough to keep them out of the game. The Stamford team is out to take every game and win the champion- ship which was taken from it while it had it in its grasp. Stamford h some mighty good men on the team this year. Probably the best bets are Lione, quarterback; Hanrahan, half back; Miller, tackle; and Lynch, end.

(Special to the Herald) New Haven, Oct. 17 — Louis “Kid" Kaplan of Meriden, former featherweight champlon of the world, was given the decision over Bruce Flow of New Rochelle, re- cognized colored lightweight cham- pion of the world, after 10 rounds of unsatisfactory mauling and wrestling at the arena last night. Both men had difficulty solving the other's style. Flowers wanted to fight in the open but Kaplan in- sisted on making it a close up affair, | tying Flowers' arms and blaging away at the colored boy's stomach, ‘"he big crowd resented Kaplan's, style and urged Flowers on to yic-' ory. Flowers appeared the stronger and || flashier in the open and whaled Kup- lan on the head and jaw whenever| they were not locked together, But] he found it difficult to get set be- cause the Meriden buzz saw held him in an e¢mbrace during the greater part of the bout. Fans yawned as the two foiled around the! ring, half carrying each other back and forth. At several points durini the fight the audience expressed ml disapproval. Kaplan weighed lNI pounds and Flowers 135%. ! If the Kaplan-Flowers go wi i satisfactory, the eight rounder be-! tween Georgle Day of New Haven| and Willie Hussey of Rridgeport, made the spectators’ hair stand on§ end. After eight sessions of assaulty yand battery, the decision was givei to Day. The New Haven hoy leape to his job at the first strake of theil gong and started in to smother thci Bridgeporter. He pursued thesc methods throughout the fight andi aithough Hussey was game and tool| everything and came back for morcs| he was outclassed. i Intense excitement was caused byi a six rounder between Joe Masselll and Frank Marino, both of New Ha-| ven, which Masselll won by a deq cision. The boys recently graduaty ed from the simon-pure ranks and there is a bitter feeling betwesn them. They are rivals in adjoining neighborhoods and consequently haif of New Haven was on deck to cheer them on . It was reported that more than $3,000 was wagered eom the fight.. Marino shot over a stinging right to the jaw in the firet round and Masselli went to the oanvas; Marino also took the second rewnd. The third was fairly even with pos-| sibly a shade in Masselll's faver. The fourth was about 50-50 and the, fitth went to Marino by a fairly wide margin. Masselll made an impres- sive showing in the sixth and Ref- eree McAuliffe apparently was wen over by this fact. In the of this witness, Marino was to the decision.
