Woodbury. 0. EaddonHeld 0.
After four years the Woodbury. foot ball
team has at last checked the victorious
career of the football eleven wearing the
white and blue of Haddondeld.
The two teams last Saturday were SO
evenly matched that neither side came
nearer than 20 yards of scoring and Had
donfield did not get that near. Neither
team held the ball for more than two con-
secutive first downs. The only disappoint-
ing feature of the game was the fumbling
by both sides.
The team play of Haddonfeld seemed to
work better than that of Woodbury.. but
Woodbury's individual work was superior
to that of Haddonfeld. At center and
left guard the men were about even, but
Armstrong at right guard was outplayed
by Longacre of Haddon6eld. Garrigues
and Ofenheimer simply smothered Foster
and Fouse. At quarter Haddon6eld had
the best of the argument. Woodbnry's
half-backs were better than those of the
Haddonfeld team but the work of Fritz
who played great game for Haddonfield
evened up matters so the backs taken as
whole were about even.
Haddonfeld showed that they were
scared before the game when they asked for
twenty and twenty minute halves.
They were given another scare directly af-
ter the game commenced when Detroit
made his sixty yard run.
The Woodbury. boys showed plenty of
ginger which was very pleasing to their
army of loyal rooters who greatly outnum-
bered the Haddopfield crowd; and of the
gentler sex, we had three to one.
The game looked like "cinch for
Woodbury. for the first minute but both
teams became desperate and after twenty
five minutes of the hardest kind of football
the half ended with the ball on Haddon-
field side of the field where it had been
during the entire half In the second half
the ball was in Woodbury's territory most

in danger.
The game was very pretty one to wit
ness, the lines holding SO hard that both
teams INDUCED in kicking game which
was highly appreciated by the spectators.
Garrigues, Shower and Offenheimer excelled
for Woodbury. while Fritz work for Had
donfield was very fine
