Before one ot tho greatest crowds ever witnessed .; gridiron battle sween tue eieveNS Of tne New Brit T and Hartford High schools, the Poasa Gownec their ancient foe on tho Y -HaEy's playground gridiron Satur- s's aLtefnool. score . to 0. The score oss not snow the superiority of the Fec and Gold oyer the Blue and Alte. particularly in the second half tho game. During last week in 1itinE of the battle. it was said that is work of Eddie Smith should be atched with interest. How much prophesied, is another thing, but Fe do know that it was the alert eye
 this same boy that resulted in 'e touchdown for New Britain, after 1e unluclSy Mccoy had fumbled q ass on his own 10 yard line in the ourth period. Historians of athletic vents in the local High school may lace the name of Edward Smith 1ere, for the youngster certainly is htitied to much praise.
 Every N. R. Boy Helped.
 There are easily eleven other req ons why New Britain again tli- mphed over Hartford, and they may 2 found in looking over the lineup the local team. Every one of the oys in which Dave Dunn pinned his Rifh in bringing home added glory the New Britain High school, did is part, and did 1t well. Right here word may be said for the entire ackf7eId team of New Britain, which EorlSed like a charm, and the line, ell. they simply would not stand for ny penetration through them, with he result that the efforts of the Hartford team to gain by plunging ent for nil. Pep1au, Burns, Vib- erts, Appel and Griffen, played the anne of their lives. Jack Renehan nd Crane, the ends, were ever on he lookout for the Foley, Barclay, IcCoy and McKniff quartet with the esult that very few long runs were ent around their territory. The cause the tumble by Mccoy, is attributed D the fine manner in which Renehan gnred out the play, blocking Bar lay who was scheduled to receive the igskin on a crossbuck play. The torl1 of Sparks, Keefe, Doerr and srink, was stellar.
 Foley II. P. H. $. Star.
 For Hartford it may be said that lc team played excellent football, nd their supporters can rest assured hat it was the superior work of the oc;,ls that snatched from them the :ctory.
 Much had been heard before the ninc regarding Shrimp Foley, Harterback of the Hartford team. his boy lived up to the praise be- owed on him. and without him Sat :,lay. the Capitol City team would l. good play was made, it was gen raiiy found that Foley was some ,hare iny it. He made two dashin 2 inu Of c5 and 20 yards. But after nure, the New Britain boys would braos. ana the visitors would either sse the ball or punt The negro, ioodman, was also one of the stars the Hartford team. particularly in ns first half. His tacllling and de- @na1ve work was brilliant. He con fTusG !c work hard until the locals aeged ahead, and this coupled with spill engineered by Bill Burns oemed to take some of the pep u of him.
