The Stratford High school football team played with West Haven High yesterday afternoon on the Windsor avenue field, and took terrible beating at the hands of the lads from the suburbs of Savtn Rock. The score was 59 to 0. and from a time late in the first period when the New Haven county boys pushed over a touchdown on straight football, the local lads never had a chance. As far weight was concerned the teams seemed to have an even break, with the possible exception of the quarter placed early in the game and a half grown youth, game to the core. but entirely too light. took his place. There was no organized interfer- ence on the part of the Stratford team. The Peck brothers, noticeably Bill Peck, at fullback, played football to be proud Of The latter did some good bunting. made tackles the other men missed, had the only consecu- | tive success at carrying the ball. and came near being the whole team. Especially was the left side of the Stratford line weak. One big lad, the biggest on the squad, playing at left | tackle, laid his bulky form down on each play, and let the opposition trot l over him and tackle the Stratford backs from behind the line of scrim- mage time and again. He remarked | to thes idel ines late in the game | 1 getting he believed he would turn in his jersey. He ought to.
 The West Haven team. accompan- l jed by squad of the very fair sex, 1 had a team to be proud of and 1t is | evident that they have been coached | by someone who knows football and | knows how to pass along information. | They handled forward passes, covered their punts, and followed the ball in | great fashion, picked holes in the
 Stratford line without trouble, ran
 back punts for touchdowns and fol- | flowed the ball all the time. The Stratford school spirit Is to be com- l mended, for even in the face of crushing defeat the cheer leader had
 no trouble getting plenty of noise from the students, who displayed a great deal more pep on the sidelines | than some of the warriors did on the | field Three defeats and no wins is ] the record of the team to date Yesterdays game was refereed by ] Rev w. Whitehead of the Con-
