After playing two tie games, for the championship of the Connecticut League, the Bridgeport and Hartford High-Schools met for the third time on the Yale field, Thanksgiving day, and victory was carried back to Bridgeport. Hartford opened the game with a kick-off. Bridgeport caught and advanced very near the centre. In three successive plays they failed to make five yards. A signal was then given (as Hartford supposed) for a kick, but instead of the ball being passed to Keane for a punt, Foster took it, and advanced it thirty-five yards through a hole in the centre, which must have been six feet wide. This brought the leather within a few yards of Hartford's goal. After two plays Foster pushed it over the line between Hartford's left tackle and end, and the goal was kicked by Foster. The second touch-down was made by a criss-cross play. De Forest took the ball and passed it to Foster, who circled around Hartford's left end for another gain of thirty or forty yards, the ball being a few yards beyond centre in Hartford's territory when this play was made. After one or two unimportant plays Foster again carried the ball over the line, but no goal was kicked. Bridgeport's third and last touch-down was obtained partly by a fumble of Goodell's, and by a criss-cross play. The ball was a short distance in Bridgeport's territory, and after three downs, Keane punted. Goodell made an attempt to catch, but missed, and Ives dropped on the ball. Then the same criss-cross play was tried again with perfect success, Foster running around Hartford's left end and over the line for a touch-down. Foster also kicked the goal, and thereafter Bridgeport scored no more. Hartford's scoring was done in the second half. The first points were earned by steady rushes down the field, Lyman was finally sent with the ball between right tackle and guard for a touch-down, and Ingalls kicked the goal. The second score was made in about the same way--Luce going through left guard and centre, and Ingalls again kicking the goal.
