"Rcd" Grange and lis Illinois
team may draw the largest crowds
at football game; Harvard and
Yale may stage the classic Of years,
but to New Britain football fans,
yesterdays clash between tho All
New Britain eleven and Mulligan's
Blues at Clarkin field was the great
est gridiron spectacle ever staged IN
these parts. it was left to the cdu-
Gated toe OF "Dutch" Connors to
boot over two of the prettiest field
goals possible TO give New Britain
hard earned but glorious victory
by q to 0 score.
Never before have two profess
sional teams engaged in such a
titanic struggle and seldom If ever
has Il professional game been played
between two teams between whom
the feeling was so intense where
thcp laying was so clean as it was
in Yesterdays game.

as team with every player in the
game for all he was worth beating
Hartford team with an individual
star, that n battle between two
clcycns. because if the Blues were
stripped of the spectacular Harry
StUhldroher in yesterdays game New
Britain would have had no trouble
in taking the game.
Breaks For Hartford
II is not true to say that New
Britain received all the breaks of
the game. Muligan's eleven re-
celycd the best breaks of the con-
test but was unable to take adVan-
tago of them. True IT is that the
first half ended with the ball six
inches away from New Britains goal
| line and another down for the Blue
eleven to go but the biggest break
of the game was when Radzewich
touched n punt which was recovered
! in New Britain's seyen-yard line and
| in three plungcs. Mulligans Blues
were unable to cross the goal line.
The ball rested Just scant eight
| inches from the line on the last
down whom the Blues lost it on
! downs. This Was the biggest break
| of tho game and when the Hartford
/ team could not 70 over on the plays,

every fan present except few who
voiced the usual squaWk that I'm

first half was satisfied that New
Britain had won and the win was d
fair one
1t was Connors' toe that booted
the ball over the goal posts twice
once from the 30-yard line and the
other from the 35-yard mark, but
no one can say that Connors was the
individual star of the game. TIC
tell the story rightly, It must he
said that the following individuals
shone for Now Britain on both the
defense and offcnso: Barnikow, Con
nors. Thompson, RadzcWicr, Bean
Connolly. Bingham, Warner, Donlon
Humphries, Morris, Afford, Rogers
Xehrcr and Hammill. Fans will
tavorites can pick the individual
star from these men, but to the
writer tho play of each man was SC
wonderful that it would be unius
10 give the credit 10 one more thar
to the other.
On Mulligan's Blues, there is M
doubt but that Harry Stuhldrchel
was the shining light Of the entire
outfit Stuhldreher is a truly wonder
ful player and his work Of ycsterda!
bellies the statements that he hal
not played football this year. Hi
work was sensational and 1t is witt
