New Britain herald., 1927-10-22

New Britain High took a 2i-o . Iacing from Hillhouse High of New Haven in the Elm City yesterday afternoon. and was 1nglorIous in de- i,at.
 The crushing win over the Frank lin Square boys may be attributed . to several causes, but standing out above all else is the fact that the . tram wasn't in fighting mood-pos- . siblv because the hopelossly weak . schedule gone through this year was . not conducive to hard hitting quick thinking football, but at any rate it Was a poor exhibition. New Britain was outclassed, that |. was true. But they could have {, fought. Maybe if was oyercontidence ' but an ovorconftdcnt man should fight when he is getting trounced There was one redccminr feature of the game. While inc rest Of the ', team was taking it's beating. there was Eddie Sowka kicking and trow- ing pass after pass which at times would reach the arms Of his fellow players for substantial gains. Even 10 the last when at one time he stood behind his own goal line and kicked out to the 45-yard line and on another occasion when he was forced to throw passes near his goal line in a desparate effort to make q score. he kept up his work. New Haven Hillhouse High school made II first downs and New Brit ain made six, most of which were thc result Of forward passes.
 Two records were shot in the ca -astrophe of yesterday afternoon New Britain High lost its first tri- angular league on the New Haven grounds since the league was formed in 1915. During the past four times the teams have met in New Haven, the Red and Gold eleven pulled through with q win in the final min utes of play. It did not keep up the record started last year of ID straight wins and it suffered ifs second high school loss in the past four years.
 New Haven High school wanted this game, first because it would give first leg in the triangular league and second for revenge over it's arch rival New Britain.
 New Britain High schools most glaring weakness, the delenS" against forward passes is just as bad as ever and it has shown little im- provement over that shown ip the Weaver High school game. The
