 Hitting the gong twice in the first half, to the tune of 6 points per bullseye, Bill Tracy's Tech Tigers anihilated Hamden 12 to 6 at the Municipal Stadium in a Turkey Day free for all. The Tracy men hit hard in the first two periods be- hind Frankie Sinms in the left half back slot, the colored lad be- ing the one who Sparked the Tigers throughout the game before 5000 enthusiastic fans.
 The first touchdown of the game was set up in the first period al- though 1t wasn't scored until five minutes had passed in the second period, when Frankie Simms and L.o Russo had in a series of brilliant ground plays gone the length of the field to the Hamden 13 yard line. Then Tech after losing the ball on downs, saw Simms scoop up a tumble by Stevens of Hamden and go IS yards for the first score. The point was no good and the Ti- gers led 6 to O.
 Hamden, then received the kick of on their 20 yard line with Half back Charlie Early running it up to the 26 where he was nailed by a half dozen vigiiant Tech tacklers. On the next play which was an at- tempt around the right and Johnny Pierselli, who was thrown for loss of about five yards fumbled on his 21 yard line. The Tigers spirited on by this break got behind Simms who pulled his way to the Hamden IT yard line, Perrone then going to the ten and setting up another. Then through brute force on the next three plays Perrone and Gugliotti pushed to the one yard line with Perrone on a quarterback sneak going through for another 6 points. making it 12 to 0 in favor of Tech. Hamden managed to push the ball up to the half way mark when the half ended.
 The only Hamden score was registered in the early minutes of the last period when George Meder tossed one to Charlie Early who went from the Tech. 40 yard line to the 35, Johnny Jetmar then ran the ball to the 26 from which George Perkins, replacing Roy Timothy in the right halfback slot, went to the 4 yard line, and try ing ground-plays which did not click, Hamden took to the air, pass from Meder to Early connect ing for 6 points. This was their only threat of the game.
 The Leavenworth lads then push- ed the ball around stalling for time, the game ending with the ball on the half way stripe, 12 to 0 in favor of the Orange and Black.
 Pert Paragraphs
 An idea that was novel because it was new, that is to the Muni- cipal Stadium, was the program that Leavenworth got out with both the starting lineups. This aided the scribes and also the fans.
 The Tech Tigers can be justly proud of their victory over the Hamdenites, as it looked pretty much as thought they were out weighed to the man by at least ten pounds. But it can be said for the Tigers that they were not out ployed or outclaSsed.
 Sharpening up their appetites for the feast to come later in the day were of course Bill Tracy, "Jarp" ONeil; Ray Stone, president of the Board of Education, Attorney Edward McDonald, James Lee, Crosby Mentor; Bill Derwin and many others known to the world of sport.
