 went to Winsted Saturday. The local boys had confidence and seemed to know how the game would turn out, but were hoping they would not be up against as team of the size and weight of the Meridens. On arriving in Win sted one of the players pointed out the field which was covered with water, In many places it being from four to six inches deep. When the Waterbury players saw this they were not in 8 very pleasant state of mind!
 The game was very close one as the teams were pretty evenly match ed, Waterbury having little the best of it in weight But the Waterburys were out to win from the start and remembering the Mefiden game. deter mined not to suffer another defeat 1T they were playing Meriden Saturday they would probably have defeated them, as every man was in fine condi- tion. During the past week they have practiced daily and strengthened all their weak points and in another week they will be in condition to play any High school team in the state. On the return trip the team was so elated over the victory that the players made the natives all the way from Winsted to Waterbury stare in wonderInent. Their cheers and huzzahs aroused the people at every stopping place.

The cheering was kept up all the way from the station to the center where they disbanded. What sS with a large attendance. and they will show the people of Waterbury what they can do. The only drawback to the game was the condition of the field and no doubt both teams would have done better had there been less mud and water The players were a sipht when they got through, but the Winsted team was kind and generous ! enough to give them the use of the Y. M. O. A. baths in which to clean up and dress. The principal of the school was also. kind enough to allow them the use of one of the school rooms.
