gains. The Y. NJ. G. a. line did good work
when the ball was snapped back to Blanck
for a punt. but of course its weight had
something 10 do IN this case. Speaking OF
the T. NJ. c. A. team as a whole, IL may be
said that II won on Individual work rather
than team play. Its Interference was not
ct good as that of the high school boys.
The work Of the high school team was
big surprise. and there is no dlscounting
work done to reach the point OF excellency
shown. It's Interference was decidedly
clever. and when IL comes 10 the criss-
cross there Ia no chance for criticism. On
two occasions Fullback Brown and Quar-
terback Russell made monkeys OUT OF the
entire Y. NJ. G. A. team. While the crisis
cross may be an old play. yet IL stood out
yesterday dis,.nctively as the prettiest
work Of the game. save perhaps Morse's
N ha ftF-s hall for H.
down. with Blanck doing ali the Interior
ence work. and Biancks repeated star
plays.
Both Callahan at right half and Rem
!ngton at left half did excellent work for
the high school team. Remington showed
IN old head in the way he chung to his In
reference. and on the other hand Russell.
Brown. Carroll and Scurry were quick In
getting into each play and working for a
definite end.
Both sides did considerable fumbling
but not more than might be expected so
early In the season. The general condi-
tons were all that could be asked for a
football game. except that the ground was
hard.
Detail Of the Play.
Promptly at $50 o'clock the game was
started. Blanck won the toss for the Y.

school. kicked Off and Banck caught the
ball on the s5-yard line. lie ran and gained
nfteen yards before being downed. Y. NJ.

high school lads stood the crash. and their
friends cheered wildly.
Banek tried the right end. and although
hard tackled by Carroll, made his gain.

Of good Interference. High school .os, the
ball on three downs. Y. NJ. c. A. hucked
