From the Advocate.


 Hartford High school football cleV- on forfeited a. game to Stamford High Saturday afternoon on Betts field. The game thus goes to Stamford by the score 10.
 An exchange of fisticuffs between Capt. Wright of the Hartford team and Capt. Hunt of the Stamford eleven precipitated Hartford's action some of the spectators gained the opinion that Hartford was glad of an excuse to quit before they were beaten.
 The mixup happened in the third period and with the score q tle-6-6. The visiting team had used some rough tactics before this particular oc- currence and the guilty players had been warned. Capt. Hunt had advanc- ed the ball for a, first down and as he lay on the ground Wright made as it 10 kick him. The Stamford captain arose.
 Threatened to "Gct' Hunt.
 "Whats tho idea"' he inquired, thinking perhaps Capt. Wrights action had been unintenttonal.
 '1'u get you,' was Wright's re- sponse, according to Capt. Hunt
 That started the row. Other play CTS got into it and the crowd was on the field in a twinlIlinE, rushing to- ward the spot to find out what it was all about. The police got busy at once, chasing the spectators back and Dry- ing the bCligcrent players apart. When tho field was partially cleared of spectators and before William II. Brennan, Jr.. referee, had imposed any penalty for the outbreak, Coach Newell of Hartford called his team off, His explanation of this was that tho team was not being afforded pro tection from the crowd. Some of the Hartford players were willing to con- tinue the game but Newell and Capt. Wright insisted that Hartford quit and quit they did, much to the disgust of the fairly large crowd of fans-very large considering the fact that tho game was played In n drizzle.
