Gossip of the Teams In the Local
 Field

Fitzpatrick Joseph Guilfoile and George Mcdonald of this city went to Meriden Saturday and witnessed the football game between the Meri- lien and New Britain High school teams. Both teams were very even fly matched and neither side was able to score. 1t was fine exhibition. Incidentally Captain Culhane saw O'Brien, who is the delegate from Meriden to the Trinity Interscholastic league, to find out how he should stand in regard to the admittance of the Waterbury High school into the Trinity league. He said that he had no alternative in the matter, he would have to vote against Waterbury's ad- mission inasmuch as he had been so instructed by the athletic association. Culhane accused them of showing the white feather, of being quitters and of being afraid of Waterbury defeat ing them if Waterbury should be ad- mitted into the league Delegate OBrien confessed that Meriden was afraid of the Brass City team. Mer- lden has been doing much talking in regard to Waterbury having ring CTS on her team in past years. She herself had one or two ringers on saturday, so one of the local students said. When the Waterbury contin- gent were starting to drive home from Meriden they received a fusil- Jade of stones from number of not very small boys. One of the party was struck in the back with part of q brick
 Captain Culhane says: "The feel Ing in Meriden towards the local Hlgh school team is very bitter. They hate the local team. They are afraid oI us and l told Delegate O'Brien Inat they were quitters. O'Brien said tndt ne was powerless to act in the anatter of the admission of the local Geam into Trinity league except to Nole 10, as he had been instructed"

 Tn the match games of footbol1 o,, Saturday the big college eleyens chow ed vastly improved form over their Praetlce and scrub performances. Go luIlDla Tn it's first scheduled game of the season rolled up the score of 42 70 U at New Brunswick, N. J.. against Rutgers Cornell rolled up identicalIy the same score at Ithica against In lon By strange coincidence three of the college teams made euuaI scores These were Yale, Harvard and Prince fon Each tallied g to 0, Yale defeat Amherst; Harvard Bates, and Prince ton Lehigh The eleven of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania was the only college that did not fare so we'll. While they won their game, they had to worz hard to run up q the score of r to 0 against the State College team.
 Of the big eastern colleges Yale leads so far in number of points scored with 97, and the Blue has had no trou- ble whatever in beating her opponents ;. decisively. Not one of her adyersar- ies has as yet put her strength to the 5 test. Both Yale and Harvard. how ever, have been scored against. while Princeton, Cornell and Pennsyl- yania have clean states. Princeton has played one less game than the other four, so her point total compares favorabIy with the others Taking Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Cornell. the scores and their form combined indicate that as whole they possess greater strength than in a number of years. Therefore, the season is un- usually bright in it's promise of stub born games when these teams begin to clash Carlisle and Lafayette also look strong thus increasing the gener- al strength. Of the smaller teams, Franklin and Marshall has rolled up an even hundred points to date and leads all hands hereabouts in points scored.
