the Nutmeg A. C. football team of
this city over the Hartford Giants
it was most decidedly dispelled yes
terday afternoon at Memorial Field
in Willow Brook park when the
Hardware City eleven, mighty in its
power, crushed the Giants by the
score of IS to 0. Two touchdowns,
one scored by Bautt, Fordham star.
and the other by Burns former
Villanova end, tolled the doom Of
whatever ambitions the Giants
might have had to even up matters
with the local team.
The Giants were absolutely no
match for the Nutmegs in yester-
days game Except for a short
time in the third period when the
Giants after rally that gave them
two first downs in .consecutivev
order. brought the ball to New
Britain's three yard line. Here in
the first play of the final quarter
Grip fumbled and ''Toots" Politis
landed on the ball for New Britain
and Radzewich kicked it out OF
danger. This was the only time
that Hartford threatened the New
Britain line. The Capital City
team had taken possession when
Fitzpatrick intercepted a pass on
New Britain's 40 yard line and then
made a pretty run of 16 yards to
the "a yard line.
Hartford's highly touted aerial
attack and its famous backfield
combination did little damage dur
ing the game, On the other hand,
New Britain's plays, except for some
instances, worked well. The line,
: as always. tore ragged holes in the
Hartford defense and on one occa-
sion. silent John" Davis went
through Hartford's tackle and all
but got away for touchdown.
''Butsy" Strum went after him after
he had cleared the line and as
Davis stopped short, "Butsy' fell
down but in so doing, tripped Davis
who had just gotten behind his in
reference.
New Britain's backfield was in
excellent shape. With Bautt Be-
lonki, Davis and Radzewich doing
the brunt Of the ball carrying it
ward wall time after time. Bautt
was regular demon while Radze-
wich played a stellar role through
out. Davis plunged through Hart
ford's line but showed his greatest
stuff on the defense
at all. Throughout the entire sea-
son. it has been one of the best
gathered together in this city in
years. Yesterday was no exception
and the Hartford backs had to re-
sort almost entirely to aerial work
to make any prograss. In fact. ex-
cept for spurts. Hartford was
thrown for almost as much lost
ground as it gained on bucks.
Bautt carried the ball over for the
first score. Davis had carried the
ball to the 80 yard line and Bautt
threw pass to Radzewch to the
- yard line. Another pass Bautt
to Belonki brought the oval to the
10 yard line. Hartford was penal
lied and then Bautt mad first down
on the two yard stripe. Two as
saults at the center were repulsed
and then Bautt tore through tackle
for a clear score
The second came with dramatic
suddenness. Hartford had the ball
on its own 43 yard line. Druehl
went to kick when 'Pee-wee" Wer-
waiss hurtled through the air, took
the ball in the body and the kick
was blocked. 1t bounced back and
like a fash of lightning Burns, a
real bail hawk. scooped it up and
with Tom HUMPHREYS and Oscar
Nanfeldt smothering would be
tackler Burns raced TO the goal line
and fell over for a touchdown.
The game was a decisive and final
victory for New Britain over Hart
ford for the present season. The
locals may play again at home next
Sunday.
