NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.
Waterbury, -Naugatuck Game Was a Rough House.

In the presence of about 5000 people Naugatuck's football team lined up against the All Waterbury team on Hotchkiss field Saturday afternoon. The Waterbury team was late in get ting down and it was after o'clock when the game was called. Fighting and "hot air" discussions were some of the principal features of the game. The crowd was very good and the field kept in nice clear condition at all times. It had lately been enclosed with wire just outside of the side lines and the only ones on the field were the players and the officials. Barnes and Beebe of Yale were the officials and their work was not what might be called a first-class exhibition of official duty. At one time it looked as though the referee was really frighten- ed by the loud talk of Captain Harmon so the local boys stood by his decis- ion and left the ball within inches of the side line when it should have been brought out for 15 yards. But it was all right because Egan and BIT Thompson knew the game so we'll.
 One of the principal features of the game was the beautiful end run of left halfback Dunning for 60 yards around Waterbury's left end in the first half. Naugatuck was badly hand icapped by the loss of right end Weary and of fullback .Welch who had his shoulder hurt and his elbow disloca- ted. The latter part of the second half was played in darkness. In the last part of the second half Waterbury pushed in a player by the name of Leonard whose name was not down on the list of players as was agreed, and this caused a dispute right away.
 The playing of the Naugatuck boys was fast and snappy. In line smash ing the Waterbury team had little the best of it, they going through Naugatucks line for 6 and yards at a time and Thompson did some very nice end running.
 At the first start of the game it look ed as if Naugatuck would easily come out the victor as they scored a touch down after about four minutes of play. The game started off with Stln- son kicking to Hayes on the Water bury 10 yard line and he brought it back for 15 yards more. Byrnes was then sent in to the line for only a short distance, Naugatuck holding well and playing a good game. Thompson then tried his skill but was put back for loss and Naugatuck got the ball downs. Naugatuck then lined up and gave Dunning the ball, he taking 1t through for about 4 yards. After this play one of the prettiest and cleanest end runs of the day was made. Burns gave the signal and Neary the right end was seen to get around Water bury's left end and away for about B wards before he was brought down. Advancement of the ball in this way gave the players as we'll as the local rooters lots of encouragement as the ball was very near Waterbury's goal posts and on the next lineup Dunning the left halfback was pushed over for a touchdown, making the score to 0, as Ashmore failed to kick the goal.
 Stinson again kicked to Hayes and he gained 20 yards before he was downed, Cronan and Byrnes each mak- ing gains of and 10 yards through Naugatuck's line. Shields also made some very nice gains by hitting the line. During this session of the Wa terbury's having the ball Captaln Harmon made a nice gain of 20 yards around the end before he was stopped. By their hitting the line very heavy and hard the ball was brought to with in a short distance of the Naugatuck's s goal posts and Thompson was sent around the end for touchdown. Cron- an then kicked the goal and at the end of tIie first half the score stood Wa terbury 6. Naugatuck ,.
 In the second half which was mostly played in the dark Naugatuck receiv- ed the ball on the kick-on and Jacco- neIli got it on the 10 yard line and brought it back for 15 more before he was downed by whitey Reilly. Nau- gatuck then worked hard and tried to get the ball down the field but were forced to punt. Waterbury then did some nice line hitting and the end runs of Thompson were the principal reason for their scoring again. At this stage of the game the ball was on Nauga- tuck's 15-yard line and at the first at- tempt to put it over the local boys held them but at the second try Eagan inc big haIfback was sent over for a touchdown and Iawlor kicked a goal, making the score Naugatuck ., Wa terbury 12: and as there was only about 2O seconds to play, the game was called.
