Team Disbanded for the Season-Rec-
| ord of Team.
When the Hillhouse high school foot
ball team first met this fall the outlook
was most discouraging for the team.
Only three of last years team remain
ed in school. The captain elected last
year had left and the prospect of win
ming anything looked very slim How
ever Farrell, who was thereupon elect
ed captain, worked the team hard and
| finally brought out a capital article
The team played Naugatuck and pre-
vented any scoring. AT Meriden evil
luck gave the game to Meriden, though
Hillhouse clearly played the better
game.
Then the team was once more set
back by the cruel law of the board of
education on DIS. This lost the game
to Hartford When the regular team
again got back and faced Hopkins it
was evident that the team was getting
stronger and it easily defeated the lat
ter team, but during the game Farrell
was so badly hurt that he was not able
to join the squad again. He resigned
the captaincy and Kennedy was elected
to his place.
Kennedy set to work and in the face
of discouragements brought the team
into championship form In the week
following. On October 27 the first cham
pionship game was played. 1t was with
Bridgeport. The day was miserable
and the ground soggy, but both teams
played with great vlgor. The Bridge
port team was at least fifteen pounds
heavier, man for man, but Hillhouse
played with great snap and Moore and
Sheldon opened up holes in the line big
enough for an ice cart to go through,
through which the backs plunged for
repeated gains of ten to fifteen yards
Hillhouse won by a score of II to O.
Since that time the team worked
hard for the Waterbury game on No
vember 3. Price, Benham, Cooley, Por-
ter, Beck and Morris, graduates of the
school, as well as DIR. Loeb and Sharpe
of the Yale team, aided by their coach
ing. The team worked hard On No
vember al Waterbury Hillhouse met
the Waterbury team, the champions of
last year. They put up logged fight,
but there was no use. The team at
Waterbury was heavier in every point,
Sheldon, who played so well with the
Bridgeports as right guard, was held
down by a giant of no mean size. He
weighed 230 pounds, being six feet three
inches in height. Sheldon weighs $50
pounds and is five feet 3 inches. Har-
dy, the other guard, was no less fortu-
nate. He faced the famous Bauby of
200 pounds AT tackle the Waterbury
team was also remarkable, as both
tackles weighed more than 1870 pounds,
while the Hillhouse men. Captain Ken
nedy and Stanford, are neither more
than 1856. The lightest man for Water
bury was the quarter back, who weigh
ed ISL. For Hillhouse Monalan and
Bryan played the best game while Hal |
finger, Sexton, Stanley and Quinn play
ed in good order. The score was 30 to
0 In favor of waterbury.
