Bridgeport buck1ed center and Foster went over the struggling mass of humanity for a touchdown. Foster tried for goal and failed. Score: Bridgeport4 Hartford 0. Hartford then began kicking the ball instead of bucking the line and the half ended with the same score.
 SECOND HALF
 The second half started with a kick off by Foster. The ball was caught by Chapman, who was downed by Al De fancy, "a corking good flying tackle. Then Hartford with a series of runs, aided by splendid interfence of the backs, brought the ball to the center of the field. Here Luce distinguished himself by a run Of 35 yards around the right end. Bridgeport then pro cured the ball on downs. It was appar- ent that Luce was the backbone of the Hartford eleven. Shortly after B. H. s. lost the ball on downs and Ingalls, was sent over for a. touchdown for Hartford Luce failed to kick the goal and the score was now to 4.
 Foster again kicked off and Luce again caught the oval but he was y bucking and gains around the ends Hartford took the ball to Bridgeport's yard line. There was now but five minutes more to play. Lucky for Brfd- port, Hartford made a tumble and Foster, iscooping the ball. went around the end for 8 yards. Bridgeport then played safe and punted to Hartford's s 10 yard line. Here they held the Capi- rtoI City boys for downs and Foster was again scooting the Hartford end when time was called.
 There was some discussion as to continuing the game and it was decid- ed by the association to present each team with a, championship banner and thus end the series. By this Hartford and Bridgeport each were, credited with the championship of 1895.
