New Britain herald., 1916-11-06
II: Big Three w


eleven had to be fragrant, the Capitol
City team escaping with but one pen
atty throughout the game. The New
Britain team was clearly outplayed in
! the opening part of the game, but
their spirits were not downed.
New Britain Scores.
Bradley for New Britain kicked off
to Nordlund at the beginning of the
second half and a gain of 10 yards
| was made by that player before
| brought to the earth by Hubbard.
| Several attempts at the line were
| tried to no avail and when the fleet
Davis was thrown in his tracks by
| Captain Connolly, Steele punted to
| McChristy who by beautiful lodging
ran ten yards. Here the locals COM
| menoed to show the crowd some of
the fine trick plays taught by Coach
Brown which bewildered Hartford
McChristy was veritable battering
ram for the locals tearing off yard
after yard bringing the ball to the
15-yard line. He was hurt at this
juncture and time was called for sew
eral minutes. On his recovery he
demonstrated that to stop a New Brit
ain player Hartford has to do a more
complete job for the feety back
ripped off eight yards on the next
play and the ball was within seven
yards of the goal line. The we'll exc
cuted Minnesota shift was next tried
and Captain Connolly ripped and tore
MS way through left tackle crossing
the goal line with two Hartford play
ers Va1nly trying to bring him down.
Inc attempt at goal was a failure.
bradley again kicked off to the Hart
ford right halfback who ran the kick
back about Is yards. The local de-
tense st1ffened and Steele was forced
to punt to Hubbard who gained four
yards. McChristy again was sent at
the fast weakening line, but Steele
got him with a small gain. One of
the Hartford players was knocked
out and was removed from the game
On the next play, the locals were PEN
allied 8 yards and after vainly try
ing to make up the heavy disadvant-
age inflicted through the referee
route, Robb punted behind the Hart
ford goal line.
The ball was brought out to the 20
yard line with Hartford in possession,
Davis was sent at the end but CAPTAIN
Connolly was there to meet him and
no gain was the result. Hartford at
this Juncture resOrted to forward
passing Out without success, each at
tempt being intercepted one by
Rosenberg which was a pretty play.
Captain Steele punted, and the kick
was fumbled but a local player re-
gained 1T. BY the aid of some pretty
shifts the local eleven gained con-
siderable ground. Barton took Ros-
enberg's place at quarterback and the
locals took on new life. Mr.. Referee
was again on the job, and New Brit
ain suffered a 15-yard penalty, but
Captain Connolly made up consider
able of this on a plunge through the
line which netted &c yards The
plucky little leader was again X. O.
but refused to leave the game. Bar
ton on an end run failed to make any
distance. Dyson entered the game
at this juncture, taking Peterson's
place. McChristy and Connolly made
it first down for the locals with the
ball on Hartford's 25-yard line, when
Timer Dougherty ran on the field an
nouncing the close of the game. The
local players Rugged themselves with
glee, while their supporters cheered
and forming a snake dance with the
aid of the band, pretty spectacle
was presented. The losing team left
| the field detected while their follow
ers completely deserted them.
