THE CHRONICLE 21 % ATHLETICS LYMAN HALL 0 STRATFORD 12 Using a green team and a new system, originated at Notre Dame, Lyman Hall was defeated in its first game of the season against Stratford. LYMAN HALL 0 WILBY 0 Lyman Hall, playing its first home game of the season, showed real power in playing to a scoreless tie with the Brass city eleven. Late in the first quarter Wilby opened an attack which ended on our twenty yard line by virtue of an incomplete pass in the end zone. The Orangemen showed decided improvement over their previous encounter and although greatly outweighed displayed a more powerful offensive. Throughout the entire game the two elevens battled on even terms, and neither team made much of a threat. This contest marked the beginning of football relationship with Wilby High School of Waterbury. LYMAN HALL 15 SHELTON 0 Lyman Hall made its first victory of the season against Shelton High School. At the beginning of the second half Lyman Hall took the ball and by straight line smashes took the ball about forty yards for a touchdown. Later Huskes caught a pa s and ran for a touchdown. Captain Barry placed kicked the extra point. LYMAN HALL 6 MILFORD 18 Lyman Hall virtually lost its title hopes in the Milford game on our own field. Milford scored her first touchdown late in the second period by recovering a fumble in mid-air and racing thirty yards for a score. Her attempt at a drop-kick failed. The first half ended 6-0 in favor of the visitors. In the second half Milford tallied twice more and the score became 18-0. Late in the final period Lyman Hall, trying desperately to score, opened up a passing attack. After several tries Barry landed a pass in the arms of Di Franco, who then raced twenty yards to score. Captain Barry’s place-kick missed the mark. The game ended shortly afterwards.
