Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-03-27
POLO
FAST AND
 SPECTACULAR New Haven Defeated in a Whirl- wind Contest = Bridgeport and
 New Britain Also Won.

r The polo enthusiasts were given
 one of the treats of the season last
 night. when Waterbury defeated New
 Haven in as fast and spectacular a
 game as has been played on any polo
 surface this season. The brilliant
 work of every member of the local
 aggregation and the marvellous goal
 tending of Mullen of the visitors,
 coupled with the whirlwind game
 put up by Jason and Miller served to
 keep the fans on edge until the bell
 called for the end. It was nip and
 tuck game for two periods with neith- CT side having any advantage to speak of. Faster and faster became the pace and to many of the fans it
 looked as though New Haven was go- ing to wind up with a victory, such was the game she was putting up.
 Everybody was playing the game of
 his life and yet there were but three
 fouls called during the scrimmage, two on the locals and one on the vis- itors. Perhaps in no other game has
 the ball been driven into the cage so often and have it bound out again Both teams suffered from this fact, Waterbury more than New Haven
 The drives were so fierce that they struck the back of the cage and re-
 bounded on to the playing surface.
 The game had scarcely begun when
 Dews took a pass from Jason and
 hammered the pellet behind Sutton in just l2 seconds. This seemed to awaken the locals to the fact that
 New Haven was likely to beat them on their own floor. The battle waged fiercely then and everybody was on
 the jump. When all were about winded Loxson received pretty pass from McGilvray and drove it behind Mullen after playing more than ten minutes, The period ended with the score tied
 In the second period McGilvray sailed down the floor like streak of greased lightning as Loxson took the rush. There was a mix-up at the New Haven end of the line and in thirty-eight seconds McGilvray had hammered the ball behind the visi- tors guardian for our second goal of the night. New Haven was not a bit nonplussed by this action, for Jason started his whirlwind tactics that kept the defense of the locals hop ping around like hen on hot grid dle. Jason was here, there and ev- anywhere, and, as the four minute period had been reached, he lost the ball in the netting behind Sutton. With ten minutes more to play in this period both teams again began a fierce onslaught on each other. Not another goal was scored, while both goal tenders were kept busy every second of the time.
 In the last session is where we proved our superiority. Fahey, who had been playing one of the best games at center that the fans have witnessed in many seasons, juggled the ball all over the floor. He passed and repassed and shortly after six minutes had been played he saw his and while the New Ha- ven defense was waiting for him to pass the ball to one of the rushers, he drove it for the cage himself and caged our third goal. While the New Havens tried hard to overcome the lead, some of them seemed to lose heart. Not so Jason, Miller and Mullen. who were playing faster than ever. Loxson took the next goal after six minutes more of play ing and we had four to the visitors two. With less than eleven seconds to play McGilvray cinched the game by making our last goal and the bell rang for the close with the fans cheering the speedy work of both cams. The lineup and summary: waterbury. New Haven
