Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-10-21

Of to Each eleven scored Ill tie first half and although both goals were easy to kick, Freney for Water- bury and O'Br;en for Meriden failed to send the leather over the cross bar. Although Waterbury well deserved it's score in this half, Mariden's came in the nature of fluke After the home team had made touchdown by car rying the ball for eighty yards with out being held for downs, the bali was kicked to Meriden. Several good gains were made, but Waterbury held on the thirty-fve yards line and with about six to go Meriden tried the forward pass. Whalen's pass to Nells was rather low, but the latter nevertheless got his hands on it ana almost held it, but it at length got away from him. The ball was kicked along the ground and it looked as though Captain Freney had d good chance to fall on it when it was roll ing along towards Waterbury's goal. But when the ball was finally down it was in Meriden's possession on Water- bury's two-yard line. It was all easy matter to push Hyatt through center for the touchdown.
 In the second half Waterbury on ot- fensiye work outplayed Meriden but would fall down when a touchdown was in sight. Three times during this half Waterbury carried the ball within ten yards of Meriden's goal, in fact on one occasion it was only three yards from the coveted chalkmark, and each time Meriden received the ball on downs. A moment later Hyatt would punt the ball out of danger and Wa terbury would begin to hammer once more. Hyatt, by the way, who is member of the Hyatt family which for years has been connected with sports at Meriden High, sent his kicks off in most commendable manner for high school lad and boosted them in the air so that his ends bad plenty of time to get down and nail the man. Meriden far excellnd Wa terbury in footing the pgskin. AIerider also showed that in the use of the forward pass it has been well coached. Quarterback Whalen made someS beautiful passes. sending them right into the arms of the man waiting but on Saturday the player on the receiving end was buttertinger- ed and muffed some fine passes.
 Meriden's kicking and other good work would have been in vain had Quarterback Nolan of Crosby ran the team as directed. Instead of plug ging away at the left half of hs line, NIeriden's right being weak, he would at critical time, direct a play on the right side. If Nolan had used better judgment. there is no doubt as to what the result would have been. Whalen. Costello and Hyatt starred for Meriden, while the manner in which Bergin. end for Waterbury. followed interference when running with the ball and his good defensive work, were worthy of mention. Hum nell at tackle also made big holes for Waterbury. while the work of the backs deserved considerable praise. The lineup: ,,, ,..... ,,..,,,. .,, ;. Crosby High Meriden High baUny ...,........
