 Connecticut-Some Notes About the
 Game.
 One of the finest polo games New Haven has seen in long time was played between the Blues and the . Waterbury team last night. says the New Haven Palladium. From start to finish the game was evenly play ed and it took seven minutes overtime play to decide the winner. Hayes made his initial appearance in blue suit last night and his fine work brought forth cheers and applause from the crowd. ussel1 was powerless aaginst the sturdy little halfback and all kinds of tricks were foiled. Dur ing the overtime period Hayes play ed excellent polo, both by skating and blocking. Not Hayes alone, but all of Captain CanavanS men played well, excepting Jason. Several times the latter funbled at critical points and he seemed to miss nine out of every ten times he struck. He got in the way at the right time one or twice, but did not always connect with Bone in passing. Only two goals were scored in the first period and both were caged for New Haven The playing at first was loose and the men had little regard for position. Failing to land anything the Blues fell back on team work. After several exciting in cIdentS around Lation'S cage Hayes got the ball in the rear. He passed to Canavan. sent it across the floor to Bone and after getting new impetus from Jason'S stick. the rubber ended its Zigzag trip in the Waterbury cage. By q pass from Bone in the rear of the visitors cage to Canavan in the front the second goal was made. Wa terbury started i'll to retrench in the second period. By fine defensive play ing aided. by some of Jason'S fumb- ling, the Blues were shut out The game began to be hot and Griffin was accidentally hit ill the nose. After q few seconds delay the game proceed ed and Jean scored the first goal by q pretty drive. Russell found an open ing later and scored the second, tying the score.
 When the third period began both teams were tired but determined. Dur ing a moment of anxiety around his goal Fox ran out to stop drive from Bone The latter's stick flew from his hand and Jason caught the ball and tossed it into FoN's cage. By the merest chance the score was tied again. Griffin accidentally met the ball on the rebound from the gear of Lation's cage and instinctively put it into the meshes. Although both teams worked hard the tie was not broken when, the gong sounded. The overtime work was begun in earnest All ten men worked skillfully, swift ly. cleverly All kinds of tricks were tried. Each team blocked the other admirably. The crowd urged the Blues on necessarily and every good play was lustily cheered. Finally Bone caught the bl1I and by a mighty drive sent it by Fox.
