RED MEN
Referee
George Smith and his Norwalk
Red mon easily defeated the All
Btamiorde in the armory last night,
17-11 before a email crowd. The
attendance was kept down because
oi the cold and the bad traveling.
Smith was the star of the game with
his usual brilliant playing. “Red"
Abbasia scored the most number of
field goals. but two or his shots were
made when nobody was guarding
him.
Clayton McGron dropped in two
long shots that won him much ap-
plause from the spectators. The
game was teatured by close gum-d.
ing on the part of both teams. The
players have tweed each other so
many times that they know how to
stop the other teiiow. The iirst halt
ended with the score. 13-6.
The Stamford team never threat-
ened the locals. The Red Men gave
an exhibition of instpassing in the
last halt. This same Stamford team
was defeated by the Compo Lite
Guards last week in Weetport by
five points. The Stamiords were
strengthened by the addition of
"Sham" Kelly at center, but this did
not help them in the offensive do:
port'nent. Kelly held Smith down to
(our goals. which was a moral vic-
tory for "Sham." Smith has scored
about :0 points on Kelly the last
two times they have faced each
other.
The Red Men did not show any
signs of slowing up after their hard
battle with the Y. lid. H. A. in
Bridgeport the night previous.
Brotherton refereed the contest. it
was an easy gomo‘as tar as calling
fouls was concerned. Only 3] tree
