Local Color On LocoI Gridirons;
Leovenworth High VS.. Torrington

Before rational crowd Of $50
gridiron fans, Torrington via an
Serial offensive completely swept
oser Leavenworth like a tidal wave,
to the tune of 10 to o.
On Friday In my local predic-
tions yours truly predicted Torring-
ton to take Tech by at least two
touchdowns, and in the opening
minutes of this ball game I was al
most forced to swallow these words
and calculations.
Tech spanked by a first down In
the opening minutes of the gama
by Majurkavage, and Perrone raced
from their own SIS yard line down
deep into enemy territory, via a
pass from Perrone TO Rainone, who
raced to the Torrington yard line
and into scoring position. On the
series Of following plays then En-
gineers' lacking the driving power,
against the staunch Torrington
front wall attempted to stake q sue
cessful sweep around the right end
Of the line, but on bad interference
from the Tech. line, Perrone on a
desperate sweep around the right
end was hit, on which he fumbled
the ball Borzanski recovered for the
Big Red, thwarting the Engineers
one and only crucial scoring threat
OF the ball game.
III ensuing moments Carmen Mele
the 'Bertelli' OF the afternoon for
Torrington, heaved beauty to Ga
liase who ran q yards into enemy
territory, from the midfield stripe,
from there Oh the next play Borzan.
SIX ran 10 yards bringing 'rorrington
within 'paydirt range for the first
time In the ball game. From the a
yard line right halfback, Ray Good
Weaved through O hole In the Tech
line for the first Big Red tally. The
score was now 8 To 0, as 1t was due
to remain up until the third period
as Mele's try for the point was not
successful.
A very short period Of time elaps-
ed after the second half kickoff be-
fore the Tech, registered two downs
without much yardage being gained,
on the third down Sullivan on an
attempted pass to r. throne, was
foiled when Whalen Big Red
quarter back, right on his toes In
tercepted this aerial and raced from
the Tech A to the Tech. IS. On the
following play Good made o beauti-
full "a yards broken field run elud-
Ing all his tacklers until he was
Brought down on the Tech II yard
line. In two line bucks Torrington
was stopped cold, and once again
restored to the air, and on pass
from Mele to Toro, the score was
brought to ~ to 0. The attempted
kick by Mele for the extra point was
no good.
In the following minutes Tech re-
ccived the kickoff but failed. e.
miserably to gain any yardage, thus
Torr1ngton took over the ball. and
Oh pass from Mele to Calligan
which was good for about 20 yards
the Biz Red were ready to score
again. Good from the Tech 20 yard
marker skirted around end and over
the goal line for the final scoring
touchdown, making 1t IS to 0. Mele
on O very beautiful boot scored the
extra point putting the final touches
on the l043 season for LeaVenworth'
They made q gallant try, but with
lot of Strictly Green material
failed to click. The final score was
10 for Torrington, Tech. 0.

Redwood RumbIes

The Redwood Bowling league was
OFT to an interesting start last week
at the Mattatuck alleys with the
Walnuts and BircheS taking two out

three weeks OF bowling for average
the teams showed up very evenly

In total pinfall between the top
and bottom teams.

New York, Nov. IS (U.P) -
Although results followed form with
amazing consistency, the weekend
college football shows was one of the
coolest In gridiron history-such a
hodgepodge of absurdity and bril-
lance that belly-laughs We'd with
the cheers.
A review of the eccentric extrava-
ganza brings on brainstorm Of
freakish finishes, spectacular runs,
heroic waterboys, one-man teams,
missing officials, automatic safeties,
police clearing the field, and alumni
numbering their alma mater
The zany's Zenith was attained
at Columbus, O., In the Ohio State
Illinois game. The players went to
their dressing rooms. thinking that
the contest had ended in a 1926
tie. They were pulled out OF the
showers and sent back onto the field
10 minutes later to finish the game.
Ohio State had one more play, the
officials ruled, because Of an off-side
penalty against Illinois OH the last
regulation play. So. John Stungis
kicked a 16-yard field goal to give
Ohio State a 1926 victory.
At New York, officials had to call
on soldier police to clear the field
IN LeWisohn Stadium when elated
Brooklyn College rooters tore down
the goal posts with two minutes of
play remaining in the game with
City College. Brooklyn won 1876.
officials also were In other at
State College, Pa, when two off,
cials had failed to arrive ut game
time for the Temle-Pen State en-
a9lnter. Finally, Philadelphia
sports writer and a high school
coach were drafted to fill In. An
automobile accident had caused the
delay In arrival.
AS Texas rolled to Its 46-7 VIC
tory over Texas Christian, the win
ners glamorized their water boy,
little Billy Andrews by letting him
come into the game and kick two
points after touchdowns. He felt al
most as heroic as j. r. Callahan Of
Texas who threw two touchdown
passes and scored twice on line
plunges.
Alma mater took q terrific thump-
ing at Ann Arbor, Mich, when
Michigan's Wolverines, assisted by
10 former Wisconsin players,
crushed Wisconsin, 27-0, for the
Badgers eighth defeat In nine
starts.
At Philadelphia and West Point,
spectators witnessed the rarity Of
teams attempting to pass from their
own end zones. Pennsylvania at
tempted the risky pass In Its 90
defeat by North Carolina. The ball
was batted down behind the goal

yard line, and on the next play they
scored on a pass from Cannady to
Pammerone who went over for the
first tally of the ball game, making
it to 0 in favor of the Annex. The
try for the point was no good. The
Contelcos then received the Kickoff,
but in their four downs failed to
move 10 yards, thus losing the ball,
when New Haven took over Pam
merone on TIE first play shot
around end eluding his would be
tacklers, and went from his own
thirty to seventy yards for another
touchdown, boosting the score to IL
to O, and on a penalty the y for
the point was lio good.
In the second period the Contel-
cos got started pretty well, and
drove up to the midfield stripe, but
on an attempted pass, Pammerone
hijacked this attempt and ran about
20 yards to the Contelcos 80 yard
line, from whence on the following
play he went over on an end run
Of about 30 yards, 10 lift the score
to Is to in favor OF the Annex, the
try for the point was successful,
making 1t 10 to 0, the second period
ended with the score remaining at
10 to O.
The remainder of the thirty one
points were scored in the form Of
two touchdowns, in the third and
fourth periods respectively, OIL pass
es from Calamita to Saxon; good for
40 yards in the third period, for the
first T. d. and score of 25 to 0, and
the second on a pass from Calamita
to Romano netting about 20 yards,
tallying the final score Of 81 to 0.
II. the fourth period of play Cos
toWski right end for Meriden threw
several passes, one to Maloney good
for 30 yards and scoring threat,
but lack Of drive thwarted the tally.
In the final two minutes OF play
Giostowski again shot a sinker to

was nullified by an offsides penalty
