New Britain Soccer Team Bows to Strong Hartford United Grew


 team was outelassed in practically all depa rtments of the game al- though the last half saw them play ing better nd Of ball than they displayed in r., opening period. The Hartford team is considered one of the classiest in the league and it left no doubt in the minds of the several hundred fans present as to it's stand ing in the league.
 Hartford started the game in high and stayed that way all the time. Little time was wasted show ing the fans in the very first few moments that the visitors could be counted on to put up a great game. New Britain kicked to Hartford and the latter immediately start"d marching down the field and when but one minute of the game had 1 passed were within a few yards of the goal. Another half minute and Hartford got its first goal. J. Mont gomery getting the point after his teammates had executed some pretty passwork. The next several minutes saw the Hartford team come within inches of getting several more goals with New Britain desperately fight ing. At the ten-minute mark the New Britain team found itself and from then on showed a complete re = Hersal of form. but still it was not fD nd at.I rh4 I, visitors.
 The next % minutes saw both teams putting up q great game with out scoring although they were both missing goals by small margins. At the half hour mark Montgomery came through to give his team a sec- ond point. Seven more minute elapsed and Hartford got third score. this goal being made by J. WoJtunik on pretty pass. This third score acted like tonic on the local players. They seemed to eject their last ounce of playing ability as they hurled themselves at their , opponents and the next three min- utes saw them fighting madly in their opponents territory until they got their first and only score of the game. The goal was made by Frank kullman. There was no further scoring until but about % seconds Of the game remained when Buch- anan of the visiting team kicked a neat low ball past the local goal ' tender to give Hartford a lead of 1 to 1 for the half.
 | After having some lemons. oranges and 3 rest period the men returned to the fold for the second and last period of play. Except for | bruises on their faces and bodies they looked the same as when they ! had started. They did not play the same brand of ball. however. They | played harder and better. With de- feat staring them in the face. the local men played like demons but the smooth working Hartford ag- gregation met onslaught after cn- slaught. Try as New Britain might it could not pierce the strong de- fence set up by it's opponents. Hartford was also finding the going tough this half
 | It took Hartford twenty-five min- utes to get its first score in this half and then it came on an Il yard l penalty kick by Montgomery. Al thirty minutes Buchanan hit high ball straight for the central part of the goal post. Thoma, local goal tender jumped high into the air. got both hands on the ball only to have it go on through his hands for Hartford's sixth goal of the game Buchanan followed with another goal. his third. at the forty m nut' mark. It was the last score of the game. At times the game be- anne rough and once for time, il looked as if the referee would stor play when a few players on each side started mixing it up. drawing q crowd of the fans around them. But fellow players rus he'd to tho seen, and in few moments had dispers. ed the crowd and play went or again.
