  s pc a kin of Sports OA 0POIS . New Britain high school football fans who have made the three sue cessive road trips with the team were unanimous in their opinion tHat there isn’t a football field in the state that compares with Memorial field in Willow Brook park. There certainly isn’t a field that is as well taken care of. Park Super irtendent Clyde Ellingwood again deserves credit. The field is mark ed plainly and officials working in the game are able to tell without much effort where the lines are in sicad of guessing. In the dressing room between halves Coach George W. Cassidy told the boys he wanted two more touch. downs and the team went out and got them. New Haven Hillhouse high school team will be here Saturday of this week. A victory for the Elm City team will give it the triangular foot ball championship. The four officials selected for last Saturdays game could not be i’m proved upon. There was not a single kick against their decisions al- though they penalized New Britain 55 yards compared with 20 yard penalties for Bulkeley. Coach Cas- sidy could do no worse than to se- 1ect these men for the important New Haven game and to recommend IL em for the Hartford Public high school game. Seldom does a scoreless tie pro- duce heroes, but the terrific battle of Yale and Dartmouth in the Bowl Saturday brought forth almost as many stars as there were players on the field. The contest was one Of the most savage line struggles the present or any other season has witnessed and, while both sides toss eL away chances to win, the 0–⁠0 draw rightly reflected the ferocious defensive play of the two teams when danger threatened. The Yale line which cracked in the Georgia game. has now been welded into an unyielding unit, and not even Dartmouth’s vaunted for ward wall could do anything with it Captain Andres, who is said to have outplayed the All-Americs Ticknor at Harvard a week ago, had to accept second honors in his struggle with the chunky Freddy I.oeser. Yale pivot. who swept through again and again to nail runners in their tracks. Captain Fay Vincent, who had been more or less of a dud in earlier games flashed his old form once more and made one spectacular tackel after another and the Eli line turned back thrust after thrust in the scoring zone. 1inehan stuck unflinchingly to the end despite an ankle so lame he could hardly walk, and the other Blue linemen were of the same firm calibre. Even sub stitute ends, whose work had been poor in previous contests. came into their own, Flygare atoning for earlier sloppy play with nice worn on punts and end runs. But 1t was not a one-sided story for the Dartmouth forwards earned their share of glory. Crehan, the big tackle, with the helmet that en- closed his whole face, was partic- ular star on defense, and Gay Brom- berg, N. B. H. s. product, while not at his best when Yale had the ball, opened big holes for his own back : to pound through. And, though in- jured in the second half. Gay mere lv had q piece of plaster stuck across his forehead and then finish cd the game. Crowley made a number of superb tackles for Yale as he backed up the line, and Parker and Taylor did likewise. And don’t let anyone tell you Albie Booth cant tackle, fo, Albie stopped Air Mail” Morton three times with flying tackles when Morton had circled the rest of the team and was on his way to the zeal line. Incidentally. Albie gave the lie 10 the sports writers who said he could not stand punishment For the first time in his Yale career, he p.ayed the entire 60 minutes, an1 h. bore the brunt of the attack, too carrying the ball proba bly, half of the time. Yes, Albie can ‘ta,ie it. , Crowley showed surprising offen- slvc form Saturday, varying his line smashes with cat~likc lodges around end which were amazing for so bis man. Dartmouth simply could rot knock either Crowley or Booth Q down and had to content itself with blocking their progress and holding on. The chief Yale fault lays in its poor interference. The ball carrier who was usually Bootf-was left to his own devices and was ire quently smothered where a better working screen of interferers would have meant a sizeable gain.
