Waterbury Democrat., 1900-10-31

4. A, which the public has been wait ing for so long, does not seem to be any nearer than it was last season, but Manager CoSgrove of the Films
 team says it is not his fault as his team is ready to meet the St Thomas team any time, the sooner the better;
 so it is up to MT Dunphy now whether
 the teams will meet or not and we hope he will start the ball arFolling soon. MT Egan. who is codching the Elm team, will leave for college on
 Thursday. where he wiN help coach
 the team for the rest of he season. As ascertained from q perusal of | the report of the game in the Nauga- tuck column the Waterbury High school had no difficulty in defeating the Naugatuck High school i'll football l yesterday Waterbury scored two
 touchdowns and several more would have been scored only for very bad fumblng. In defeating Naugatuck | Waterbury accomplished what Hill house or Bridgeport could not do and | what Merden did by q scant margin, | the score being G-0. Judging from these | games Waterbury has q much stronger l team than either of the above men, | tioned teams but it is said that Hill house has improved wonderfully under | excellent coaching so that by far the | best game of the season will be play | ed next Saturday when HillhOuse line
 up against Waterbury at the \. M. c.
 A field on Saturday afternoon.
 The play of the Waterbury eleven
 was beautiful to behold and showed | a marked Improvement over the pre- | vious game. Their team work was | first class while the individual work i could not be eXcelled. The work of | the backs in running through broken 1 fields was also fine. Naturally there | are few points yet which need to | be remedied but as Coach BeckWith | witnessed the game he knows as well | as anybody else and he will arrange | matters all right
 | There is no doubt but that the larg- | est crowd of the season will witness | the game. Hillhouse will be accom- l panied by a large number of rooters
 and they will exert all their strength
 to win the cup this year and thus own | it forever. The members Soff the
 alumni of the local High school should
 turn out in large numbers and cheer | the boys on to victory. They need and | deserve support and as the finances of
 the school are not in such excellent
 condition it will be doing the boys
 great favor to have q large number | in attendance.
 Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer. said
 the other day that the wet field handi- 1 capped his eleven in the game with | Columbia. According to football trh- | ditions. heavy el2Tens always have been effective on such turf, while light | teams have been the ones to suffer- As Yale averaged at least twenty | pounds per man *heayier than Colun- h; 1ctI
 What would have happened ff the field
 had been as dry as a chip? y1 The University of Wisconsin ele n | is considered by experts to be le
 champion team of the west. The II m
 have been coached by Phil. King. pe
 former Princeton star, and have bt Tn | sweeping all before them. Last ye T., | it will be remembered, Yale had to | hustle to beat Wisconsin by to O ht 1 New Haven. That time the critics l pronounced O'Dea of Wisconsin the | finest punter and drop kicker of the | year. This seasons Wisconsin team is
 rated as even more formidable than | that of last fall
 | Princeton is to 4 favorite over | Cornell for Saturdays conflict at Old | Nassau. The Tigers strong playing | against Brown last week has greatly
 increased the confidence, of their fol-
 lowers The best line yet obtained on | CornelFs team is the score of the game
 with Dartmouth. The Ithacans won
 by 23 to G. while a couple of weeks ago
 Dartmouth was beaten by Yale by IT

 nell will put up the hardest Kind of : fight. rEf-1 .sfE f -s-. So far all of the big elevens have
 been scored against. According to the
 records of games Pennsylvauia; leads in the number of points made against
