1. (Special,) B.tfflrd by the spectacular attack of Coach Tommy Monahan'a fighting Bristol school eleven, Torrington High school succumbed at the local field this afternoon by the ecore of 21 to a. Even though it was a gruelling fight from start to finish, penalties were very few. Not a single bit of yardage was lost by tha Torrington gridsters via the penalty route. At critical momenta, the Bristol drive was slowed by penalties for holding and off-sfde.

Both teams made few substitutions until th last quarter, when the intense heat had sapped their strength. Torrington came to this city with the avowed intention of stopping "Sugar," Htigret, giant Bristol fullback. However, this 185 pound artful dodger outdid SirKiKtW. fl'woM vsm 5- Sts.

Middletown, Oct. 1. The Connecticut Aggies took turns at hurtling hard running backs through the line and striking with well directed forward passes this afternoon, and their varied method of attack was potent enough to beat Wesleyan, 19 to 0. It was the third successive year that Wesleyan has bowed to the Aggies and today's de- leat was the most decisive of the three The vaunted Aggie attack functioned only at intervals and this, coupled with the fact that Wesleyan showed an Improved line, saved the Red and Black from an even more humiliating reversal. The steam roller tactics the Storrs eleven, flashing and dying out by turn, left the Impression that it was capable of two more touchdowns, but the Aggie attack never did get rolling with anything resembling sustained power.

Heat Bothers Players. The game Itself was more or less ragged and spotty, due chiefly to the heat. The players of both teams were exhausted early and both coaches rushed In the full store of substitutes. There were few thrills. The day was so torridly hot for football that the players were just struggling through the game as best they could.

But the thrills that were afforded were high grade enough for the best of football weather. "Wesleyan not only checked the Aggie Juggernaut in the hrst quarter, but the Red and Black actually carr.ed the fight to the heavily favored Storrs eleven and came within a. step or two of scoring a touchdown. Wesley an Gets Break. Eddy, forced to stand on his own five yard line to punt, had his kick partially blocked by Schwenk, and the ball rolled outside on the Aggie 18 yard line.

Osborne, replacing Bitten-bender as the Wesleyan quarterback, immediately rammed his backs through the yielding Aggie line for three short gains and then carried the ball himself for a gain that gave Wes leyan a first down just eight yards short of the Aggie goal lme. A touchdown for Wesleyan seemed Imminent. But the Agg.e lme rose up In the crucial stage and welded Itself together to withstand three assaults by Tetley and Osborn. On fourth down Wesleyan needed about a half yard for another first down. Knaut, who was to become an Aggie offensive hero, chipped tn witn a ae fensive morsel that staved off a Wes leyan score.

Osborn swung toward the Aealcrleht flank and tnen cui snarp ly through a partially opened hole at tackle, but Knaut came up to rne nne of scrimmage and threw him back, and the Aggies took the ball on downs. There were no further scoring theavts on either side during the remainer of the period, and the Wesleyan stands were in high glee at their team ursi quarter performance. The Aggie made their first serious assault on the Wesleyan defense early in the second period. Starting on their own 30 yard line Williams, Eddy ana Flydal jammed their way toThidfield and then Williams smashed through Wesleyan's right tackle and ran to Wesleyan's six yard line before Tetley forced him outside. But here wesley an threw up a close-knit defense and lour Aggie thrusts were turned bacK.

Aggies Start Again. A few minutes later the Aggies took a punt on Wesleyan's 40 yard line and started all over again. A Williams to Eddy forwar pass fooled the Wesleyan backs and brought the ball to the wes'evan 27 yard line. Williams tore through a hole In the middle oi line for eight yards and Wesleyan was penalized five more for holding. Williams pounded out four more and then Evan, who had replaced Flydal, found ui opening through Wesleyan's left tackle for a touchdown.

Willlams try for an extra point on a forward pass was batted down. Then the game took another swift turn, this time In Wesleyan's favor. Almost fifty yards from the Aggie goal line, Wesleyan opened up a forward pass attack. Tetley threw seven successive flat passes that appeared to have the Aggie secondary befucfflled and bwore they could pull themselves together Wesleyan was on the Aggie 24-yard line, rushing their attack to beat the timer, whose watch showed only seconds left in the first half. Knaut Intercepts Tass.

But. the eigth successive Tetley pass was turned to disaster. It fell Into the hands, of Knaut, Aggie field general, who was streaking for the tant Wesleyan goal line before the surprised Wesleyan backs could cover up. The Aggies, quick to realize the situation, began cleaning up and they bowled over a half dozen Wesleyan men who were near enough to cut Knaut down. The later streaked down to within 10 yards of the goal line before Bagg oveniauled him, but the Wesleyan back made one desperate clutch that slipped off Knaut's shou'-ders and allowed him to cover the remaining distance to the last white line.

Time was called for the half as the teams lined tip for the try for extra point, which Ryan made from placement, with Gene Lamoureux holding the ball. There was no scoring In the third period, but In the closing minutes of the quarter the Aggies laid the stage for their third and last touchdown. A 15 yard penalty pushed Wesleyan back to Its own four yard line and (Concluded on Page 10.) 11V 1.KSIJK lot Mi.

Kramin. Thoughts of the watchers must have gone b.ick to Hint liny, nlmuht a year ago, when this rat Caldwell carried the iittjck to a strong team from Georgia, carried It so fiercely that he put, himself out of the combat until today. Princeton did not see him, nor did Harvard, but Yale hopes to have him behind the line throughout the piesem season.

The starling bsekfleld of Caldwell, Dcokrr, Ccx and Bw'tic, with the last named playing quarter extremely well, proved a combtiistion strongln all rte-parimcnts, but for a time it seemed C.tldweil would be called upon to do all the work, He did most of it during the first quarter and, until he had scored his second touchdown ln the second period, when Jones rushed nine fresh met. Into the ar.ullle. Ills first touchdown sprint covered more than 25 yards, his second about eight and ln between them he sandwiched dashes of 12, 18 and 10, Such advancing power Is to be reckoned with even against such opposition as Dow doin could offer today. Then In the thtrd period came Ham' nierslty and another series of sensational attacks that eventually netted, a touchdown. This fellow was almost the counterpart of Caldwell In -his method of progress, a slice off tackle and a whirling, side-stepping rush that hurled tacklers right and left.

When Caldwell left the game, Clarvey took up the punting and when Oarvey left Iltimmerslpy took over the assignment. Twice Hammersley kicked over the goal Una from beyond midrield and once Garvey did the trick long boats and showing the necessary foot power, but perhaps poorly placed. Yale's line of 1927 may prove to be weak, with inexperience here and there, but today it showed strength on bfn offense and defense. It was behind Max Eddy and Sid Quarrler, for the most part, that Caldwell found his way to touchdowns and Bill Webster, guard and captain, played a tremendous game throughout. IVnrtltlrR f'ntly.

Penalties cost the Ells many yards. Eight -times men were caught ln motion after a shift, the setbacks totalling 120 yards, or more, than the lengtli of the playing field. Coming out of the huddle, the ends more than a yard behind the scrimmage line and at signal Jumped to their but altogether too many times a Blue player was too anxious to be on his way. Only once did Bowdoin threaten and that ln the first period when, after Yale had scored its first touchdown, Captain Howes of the visitors hurled a 20-yard pass to Foster, the latter speeding to Yale's 25-yard mark before he was dropped. Here Yale held and Howes kicked over the goal line.

Caldwell started the contest by kicking poorly to Adams, the Bowdoin right end on the Maine team's 40-yard mark, but Bowdoin found the Vale line not quite so weak as hnd been expected and after two tries at tackle, Howes punted to SWita, who ran back ten yards to his 40-yard line. In three plays Caldwell, gradually gaining Impetus, registered a first down, all of his dashes being behind Eddy. Then Cox cut the Bowdoin line to shreds with a leap over center for 10 yards and another first down. 'Little Swltz found five at right end, Caldwell was stopped with only two and then big Bruce, following Eddy through the Bowdoin left tackle, flashed rlgot then left and dodged his way to a touchdown, a 26-yard sprint. He continued his attack by lifting a perfect drop-kick for the extra point.

Thayer, Bowdoin quarterback, brought some gasps from the Yale stands when he grasped Caldwell's next lineup and rushed back 20 yards before Quarrler clutched him. Stone, the visiting fullback, made five at center and Foster hurled his long forward pass, which Sawyer captured and carried to Yale's 25-yard line, But here Bowdoin was stopped i At the, end of this quarter the Ells (Concluded on I'age 10. i -i Harvard Opens By Defeating Vermont Eleven Crosby Scores Twice in First Half Conway Kicks Goal Cambridge, Oct. 1.
