nue. grounds yesterday to decide the ques-
ton of which is champion, and for the
second time there was no score. These
two teams are without doubt the strong
est in the county and a decision in favor
of either would give the victorious team
the title of champion. Besides there is a
strong, healthy rivalry between the two
elevens. and with these features of course
a hard fought game was to pe expected.
About 500 people, many of whom were
ladies'. gathered to see the contest. They
enjoyed a rare treat and showed their
approval of the excellent game by re-
peated applause. The crowd was pretty
well divided in opinion and squads OF
rooters were organized which cheered
their favorites on with songs and team
yells. Altogether the game was a big
success and all hands were pleased,
though any score would lave been better
than none. The teams were nicely
matched, withsa little the better of it on
the Carteret side. The Carterets showed
better team work. The presence of Boyce
on the Carterets was a very important
factor in the game. He proved himself
the superior Of any other played and was
the star of the day. He played great ball
and proved a prime ~favorite. After max
ing big gains through line breaking and
almost irresistible end plays, he crowned
his good work by a most sensational
block and gain on an unsuccessful kick
by Rockford.
Dugan kicked off for Jersey City to Car
teret's 15-yard line, where Burt got the
bah and advanced Is yards, where the
teams line up for the first scrimmage. A
few yards gain in each of a half dozen
tries by the Carterets put the ball on Jer-
sey City 35-yard line. where Jersey City
got it and worked back to Carteret's 40
yard line, where the ball went to the latter
on downs. Boyce was given the ball on
the second line up and behind excellent
Interference the sturdy back made a great
run Of 40 yards before Mark Sullivan
downed him, Burt was thrown back by
Hendricks for a loss of two yards, and
the ball went to Jersey City on downs
on their S0-yard line. Jasper and Roch-
ford were used with much success, and
Mark Sullivan did well in the next series
OF scrimma9es. Rockford made one hole
in right tackle and was started on a run
through a clear field when Wehferts got
him by a pretty tackle. Rockford fell
back for a kick ard the ball went out of
bounds, Carteret,s ball on Jersey City's
25-yard line. The Jersey City's braeed
and held the Carteret's for downs. Mark
Sullivan succeeded In making a large hole
between left end and tackle, and all looked
clear for him, but johnson, who played
a great tackling game, nailed him. A loss
of five yards by Jasper, who was pushed
back by Wehrferts, forced Rockford to
kick. He advanced the ball 20 yards. 1t
was worked back and was on Carteret's
s5-yard line when the half ended with no
score.
In the opening of the second half Suth-
erland kicked to. Jersey City's 20 yard
line, where Griffin took it and played a
nice trick. He ran 10 yards before
Wehferts got to him, and when Griffin
was tackled he passed the ball to Mark
Sullivan, who made 10 yards more. Jas
per made 10 yards through right tackle
and Rockford s through left ackle. The
Jersey Citys were doing good work here,
but the ball continued In the centre of
the field until near the close, when the
bah was on Jersey Citys' 40 yard line.
The Carterets' line was hard to buck
against and Rockford fell back for a
kick. Quick as d flash Boyce was through
and he made a pretty block. So quick
was he that he had gone 10 yards before
the players realized what had happened.
Then four of the Jersey City team chung
to him, but he pulled them ten more
yards and was greatly cheered. See-saw-
ing closed the game, with the ball in
Jersey City's territory.
For the Carterets Boyce. Wehferts,
Johnson and Sutherland were the stars,
while the best playing for Jersey City
