 Football Game.
 The Naugatuck football team yes terday lined up against what was sup posed to have been the New Haven Athletic club. but which in the opin- ion of great many of the people who saw the game they were a team of school boys who had never lined up together before. The Naugatuck team looked to be about fifteen to twenty pounds heavier on an average than their opponents and pushed the ball through the line and around the ends whenever they liked. The only redeeming features of the game were the runs by Jaconelli and Ashmore. Lodge, Burns and Stapleton also did good work. The New Haven team from the very start tackled strongly but the weight of the Naugatuck men was too much for them. The line up: New Haven. Naugatuck.
