New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1928-10-15

Urged to lighting fury by over
thousand fans who cheered. sang,
and pleaded under the direction of
lively cheerleaders. two powerful
high school elevens who are repre-
senting New Britain and Bulkeiey
High school teams gave everything
they had, but one break came to
New Britain and 1t won. to Q, on
its captains touchdown, at Memoir
ial field Saturday.
Everyone in that crowd knew that
sooner or later break would come.
New Britain's sweep down the field
In the first and second quarters was
repulsed. but on its third attempt
won favorable - yard penalty
which brought the ball to the one
yard line. Captain Landino took the
ball through center and scored six
points. Sowka threw pass to
Zalceki who caught it behind his
own goal line for the extra point.
So powerful was the defense Of
both teams that the Offense appear
ed weak in comparison and parttsans
OF both teams expressed dissa tisfac-
ton with the work of the backftelds.
Looking at the matter from an un-
biased standpoint one must say that
the Buckley rooters have more to
kick about. Its backfield members
we're forever getting in the way Of
each other.
New Britain's offense was strong
enough except when 1t would be
within scoring distance and then. al
in other games this year. it seemed
to lack the punch necessary to put
over u score. In the first quarter 1t
was stopped within two feet OF a
touchdown when on a mix-up pass
from center TO quarterback there
was a tumble In which CaEale, Lam
dino and Sowka figured.
The Red and Gold team fumbied
more in Saturdays game than In the
other two games on Its slate 80 far
this season. Maybe 1t was due to
the wet ball, but the fumbles came
at the most inopportune times.
New Britafn's oftense was much
more powerful in the opening per-
iods. In the last part OF the game
the Red and Gold team was kept III
hot water continuously by q threat
ching Buckley eleven.
