Defeats Hillhouse High of New Haven in League Game by 25-6 Score.

The heavy and highly praised team representing Hilihouse high of New Haven suffered severe trounc- ing, 25-6, at the hands of the New Britain lads Saturday afternoon at Memorial field. New Haven was un- fortunate in losing the valuable lead ership of Captain Stevens who got sprained ankle in the beginning of the second quarter. Bolognaise and other first string men were injured but the handicapped team fought grlmly till the last minute of play, tightening up in the last half and allowing New Britain to get only one touchdown after the greatest efforts.
 The New Britain team worked like top, having well organized inter- ference and no fumbles. The back field men were all given a chance to do their stuff and they sure did seize the opportunity. While Johnny Gripp was out Of the game as the result of injury, Neipp did most of the bunting, filling the position very credibly. Deodoran played a won- defful game from start to finish and had it not been for the hard fighting line which held like a stone wall and repeatedly broke New Havens de- fense, the backs would never have been able to make the fine showing that they did.
 Zehrer kicked to New 'Haven's goal line and the runner was drop ped before he had made much head way. After Stevens lost on an end run, New Haven kicked to New Britain. Short gains by Gripp and stromauist and fifteen yard run by zehrer brought the ball to the twen- ty-five yard line where Gripp tried an unsuccessful drop kick. New Haven, again unable to gain, kicked to Gripp who made fair catch. Gains through the line by Strom- quist and O'Brien netted New Brit ain a first down. Zehrer then took the ball and rushed twelve yards. -NE IldNNll lllhClNEPlNd d pu0S Dut was forced to kick again. Zehrer made fifteen more yards through center. New Britain was penalized ten yards for holding and Gripp made eight around the end. The gains by Captain Zehrer were the outstanding features of the first quarter.
 The second quarter New Haven was penalized for unofficial interfer- ence with a pass and Stevens had to go out of the game because of his injury. Neipp missed a drop kick from the thirty-fve yard line, Deodorian made a neat tackle and New Haven kicked out of danger. Zehrer made fifteen yards through tackle, O'Brien added five more and Zehrer took the ball for the remain ing six yards for touchdown. The goal wasn't kicked.
 New Haven kicked to New Brit ain who soon forfeited the ball giv- ing New Haven the opportunity to start an aerial attack. On the sec
 
 ond play Roberts got we'll directed pass and ran twenty yards for New Haven's only score. New Haven kicked to New Britain who lost the ball by an intercepted pass. Johnny Grip in turn intercepted New Ha- ven pass and ran fifty yards before he was tackled.
