Especial to The Democrst)

Naugatuck, Oct 3O---A pass which slipped out of the arms of Thonn- aston player who had clear field ahead apparently had the ball safe ly in his grasp yesterday cost the Thomaston Ponies the honor of winning from the All-Naugatuck team in the best game played thus for at Recreation field by 4he To- cal aggregation.
 Each team muffed several
 chances to score. Early in the game Thomaston lost the ball on Naugy's 3-yard line, failing by two inches to make first down. A short time. later. Naugatuck failed by a similar margin to make first down and the Ponies took possession of the ball on their own 5-yard line. In the last half Naugy had two chances to win but each time miss ed the opportunity. Early in tho second quarter Bobby Greatorex. diminutive Ponies star whose work during the whole afternoon was
 outstanding. had a tough break
 when he intercepted pass intend.. ed for George Smith, local lad, and sped like Q deer down the sidcllnes.
 He shook off three Naugy tacklers and outdistanccd the rest to cross the goal llne standing up but the officials ruled he stepped off at the 35-yard line. Many spectators differ cd with this ruling and expressed
 their displcasure.
 Kicker Hurt
 Naugy had a tough break early | in the game when Schwartz, whose l educated toe would probably have
 enabled Naugy to score via Il drol, kick route at least once. was forced l to leave the game when he in- jured his knee which had been hurt
 several weeks ago. However, Narg- atuck looked like much different team yesterday, showing fine defcn- sivc strength and plently of of-
 fcnsive power except within the
 10-yard line, Brennan was the out
 standing offensive player for the
 locals, time and again piercing the
 Ponies lino for good gains.
 Hard~ Luck
 l With five minutes to play the l scene changed with bcwilderins
 rapidity. From their own 40-yard
 limo the Ponies hcavcd pass to
 Nouakowski, who should have l caught 1t handily and who had no l Naugy player near him. However,
 the latter dropped 1t and apparent ly it was the last Pony chance. A few minutes later. Naugy com
 plcted q pass to bring the ball
 withipg scoring distance but could
 not do anything and later kicked. | Grcatorcx took the punt and ran
 1t back to- Naugy's 45-yard line in sweet exhibition of ball car ! rying. He almost was clear of all
 local players on this run. The
 game ended a few seconds later.
 Tho attendance was considerably
 larger than last week and will prob
 ably be larger the next game for
 the team is at last showing signs | of going places in hurry.
