Displaying such a powerful offens i've and a stone wall defensive in it's first game of the season yesterday afternoon at Memorial field in Will low Brook park, the Nutmeg A. C. football eleven caused the New Lon don Ockfords to appeal as poor sec ond raters and the Nutmeg team ran roughshod over the opposition to win by a score of 40 10 Q. The final count could have been 100 to 0 had there been any incentive for the locals to make the score any larger than it was.
 New London. facing one of the greatest lines collected together on any team in this city in several sea sons offered only the opposition of scrub eleven in a practice game. The visiting delegation, looking fit enough before the game began. was helpless on the offensive. It failed to make even one threat toward scoring. When New London recov- cred a tumble on New Britain's 19 yard line, the ball was lost on downs after the backs had been hurled backwards 20 yards without a pen atty
 Ralph Buckley former Fordham baCkfield star, was the outstanding ball carrier in yesterdays game. He made gains of from nine yards to 35 yards. He scored two touchdowns and put the ball in scoring position two other times. He hurled and caught forward passes, broke up New London's aerial play and in general kept up the attack consist ently all throughout the game. Grip directed the team like a veteran from quarterback while Baut and Silent John' Davis smashed with ease.
 The line prevented New London from making even one first down. New Britain, besides it's six touch- downs, made 13 first downs. Grip kicked four points after touchdowns, giving New Britain it's added points.
 Buckley scored the first touch down within seven minutes when he dashed off tackle for 25 yards and the first score. Grip missed the kick Davis went over for the second after reaching the half-yard mark. "Toots" Politis intercepted a New London forward pass on the 35 yard line and went to the yard line before he was tackled and Grip car ried it over for the third score. He kicked the point.
 In the second half, Buckley again opened up the scoring when he took a pass from Grip on the 30 yard line and raced 20 yards across New

1 Clutching at a football which had 1 been bounding from hand tO hand . following a forward pass, Joe Bog danski raced five yards over the goal l line for the points which decided victory for the New Britain high school team over the New Britain l Blues at Willow Brook park Satur- l day afternoon. The final count was i 6 to 0.
 It was q fortunate "break" for the l New Britain high boys and they took advantage of it. II was a heart 1 breaking decfat for the Wcarcrs of the blue for they outplayed the Red and Gold team in practically every ] department of the game. The Blues scored seven first downs throughout ] tn contest, five of which were counted in a march down the field in the opening quarter Tn" school boys made only one first down-a | line plunge by Al Middleton in the third quarter.
 The Blues defeat may be laid 10 two reasons: 4 loss Of 15 yards by i Quarterback Al I'cnglcr when his team was within the shadows Of the high schools goal posts after march of about three quarters Of the field and an attempted forward pass from the Blues five yard line on the fourth down, a minute be- fore the close of the first half.
 Coach Zwick's men had q great weight advantage but they really made only two serious threats dur ing the afternoon The first quar- fer rush was due to the hard line plunging of FullhacIl Bill Spitko, the quarterback plUngos of Fengler and fine line play hy Ana&tasio and Beck. guard and tackle on the Blues left side.
 i The second serious threat was in stigatcd by q successful forward pass from l'engler to Lindgrcn' right end, but unsuccessful passes and line smashos executed far into the high school territory again killed the hopes of the Kew Britain selni-pro- l fcssionals.
 Tho principal defect in the New Britain high school play is the teams weak ofensc which is shown l in the fact that it made only one first | down. Two matters must be taken into consideration however The New Britain backs and line were much lighter than their opponents and the team is at an early season stage without much opportunity to get It's | ,,1,
 Not Tumble
 That the Franklin Square hoys have the stuff and are advancing rapidly may be elcancd from the fact that they did not make tumble throughout the game.
 Two weaknesses which have al ways appeared in former teams dur ing early season games were appar- cnt 10 some extent in this years team but the weakness is not as definite as has been the case in the past. Defense Of the forward pass is still problem and the teams tackling is in need of improvement,
 Passes 10 New Britain highs left side were not defended properly. The boys waited until the ball was caught and then made the tackle. The strongest work in this respect was done by Hcrby Carlson, full back. On one occasion, a pass over the center of the line was knocked down by him and on the second occasion he intercepted the pass. His defen- sive work was very good. Although his punts were not gaining distance he had 10 handle some bad passes from center on several occasions.
 Al Middleton was the best player on the Red and Cold team Saturday. He did practically all the offensive work. Bogdanski, left end, showed

against Kid Carter of Middletown at 40 pounds. Carter, as an anna teur, gave the fans at the Stanley Arena in this city, plenty of thrills last winter and he is fighting better than ever as professional.
 The first fight of the night will be started promptly at S;30 o'clock.
