Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-23

| tHe Star lullDdck TOT All WdtefDufy,
 was out of the game because of an Injured shoulder. But John Hayes,
 who filled Daly's position, played an
 excellent game and his handling of punts was one of the features of the game. Sheehan was also on the side
 lines, quarter being played by Cap
 tain Tommy Lawlor.
 Naugatuck kicked of, Stinson
 sending the ball strainght into the
 arms of Tommy Lawlor who brought Ht back ten yards before he was
 tackled. Joe Bagley tried the right
 end for no gain and was knocked out in the play and compelled to l leave the game. His brother, Jack,
 supplanted him. Waterbury was more successful on the second at
 tempt and Stowe, who by the way, played crackerjack game. being
 Waterbury's best ground gainer, tore l through right tackle for eight yards, A moment later he made first down
 by squirming through for about sev- I en more. Hayes ploughed for ten
 and It looked as if it would be a
 walkover for Waterbury, but at this
 point MT Hull saw holding in the line and penalized Waterbury for fifteen yards. On a quarterback run
 Lawlor made nothing, as Ashmore, who was the star of the Naugatuck
 team on defensive play, tumbled him before he got going. Lawlor on the
 next play punted and as Ashmore
 who signalled for a fair catch was
 tackled by his opponents. Waterbury
 was again penalized for fifteen yards.
 The Waterbury contingent groaned.
 Naugatuck failed to gain on plunge through the line and on second down
 Burns tried to kick It was poor
 attempt and Hannah received the ball | almost on the line of scrimmage. Wa terbury started once more and Stowe
 was simply damned through Nauga- tuck's weak side for seven yards. There was no gain on an effort to pierce the center. With three yards to go on the final down Lawlor wise ly boosted the pigskin. A double pass netted Naugatuck five yards, but on
 the next lineup the home team lost
 the ball when it tried the forward
 pass. Tommy Lawlor could not skirt
 the right end, but on double pass
 Shields to Cronan was good for eight yards. This play Waterbury worked very well and made several good
 gains with it. The play would be
 even better if the men giving the in- terference would be sure to knock their man instead of just passing
 him and leaving him to follow. On
 the next play Bird broke through and threw Stowe for no gain, the bal
 going to Naugatuck. A play through
 left tackle netted three and the same amount was made by try at center.
 Naugatuck on the next play made the distance the first time during the game that the required ten yards were gained. Naugatuck found 1t very hard work trying to gain, so punted, Hayes catching the ball while he was under full speed and bring ing it back several yards before he was brought to earth.
 The double pass of Bagley to White" Riley advanced the ball ten yards for Waterbury. Lawlor again tried the quarterback run. but his men did not block the opposing ends and there was no gain. Here Water bury was again penalized for fifteen yards and Hull's ears must have burned from the roasting he received. Referee Levine then brought the players together and gave them few words of advice in regarding to hold ing and offside play.
 Tho fOruard nocc a1 hy Waterbury went wrong. so Lawlor kicked. the Waterbury ends smother ing Ashmore before he had chance to bring it back more than few feet. Stinson banged into Water bury's left side for a measly two yards. The ball went to Waterbury on next play which was a forward pass. very poorly worked. Tom Law Tor found an opening for four yards and Stowe butted through for three. At this point 1t looked as if Stinson and Mahaney would furnish a pugi- listic exhibition when Stinson squar- ed off, but Mahaney simply looked at his opponent and showed good judg- | ment by walking to his position. Be- fore the teams had another scrim- | mage the whistle blew and the first | half was over. with the ball almost in the center of the field.
 No change had bern made fin the | lineup of the teams during the in- termission. Hannah kicked for Wa terbury and Burns who received 1t | on his twenty yard line did not bring | it back more than a few yards be- | cause he was blocked by one of his | own men. A right end run netted two yards and Stinson then kicked | the ball. going out of bounds. near | the center of the field. Lawlor fum- | bled on the next play and Waterbur' was thrown back for a loss of ten | yards. Stowe went through for two | and on the next play Lawlor punted. It was poor kick. as 1t was against a strong wind. The ball landed on head and went cut of | bounds. Here one of the usual wrangles ensued. but the ball went | to Naugatuck. An end run resulted In the loss of yard and double pass resulted in fizzle. Naueatuck being showed back for the loss of four yards more. Stinson got on with his long high drives and as his ends had plenty of time to skoot down the feli Hayes was felled in his tracks. was sent through for tws and the game was delayed for some lime because Greenwood was laid ,oId.
