WOODBURY. II. HADDoNFIELD 6
The Woodbury. Country Club dowDed
Haddonfeld last Thursday in their annual
game by the score of II to 6. The game
was hard and fast especially in the first
half. The visitors did not make as good a
showing as was expected and the Wo d.
bury team played a much better game than
was expected. this being their only game
of the season.
| Woodbury. had the kickoff and scored
in about FIVE minutes by straight line
plunges which netted from two to i've yds.
at each down. The try at goal was successful
Hadd0nheld scored next on a neatly execu-
ted quarterback kick which Stack house
grabbed and carried over the line, the goal
making the score a tie Woodbury. soon
scored again making the score ~ TO 6, Gar
rigues making the touchdown. Just before
this touchdown Dilks told the team to look
out for the post. Garrigues took the ball
and was having some pretty hard
pushing to get to the line, but be showed
his clever head-work of making everything
count which has always characterized his
playing, by taking hold of the post ard
pulling himself oyer the line. This came
Fear proving disastrous to the post
The most sensational play OF the game
occurred about half minute before the
first half closed. Woodbury. was working
hard for another touchdown and had the
ball within about ten yards of Haddon-
fields goal when a tumble occurred Tt
looked hopeless, but when Haddonfeld
punted Freed caught it on the bounce at
about the thirty-fge yard line and made a
beautiful drop kick for goal which went
safe between the posts. This closed the |
first half with the score II to 6.
The hard work of the first half began to |
show on the local team in the second and |
defensive game was resorted to, kicking at |
every opportunity, at which style of game |
they bad decided advantage. Haddon- |
field braced up wonderfully and kept the |
home team from scoring. In this half |
Haddonfeld hit Woodbury. for several |
good gains. They did not come any where |
near scoring as most of the playing was
done in Haddonfield's territory and at no
time could they be said to be outplaying |
Woodbury..
Summing the whole game up the score
shows about the difference in the ability of |
the two teams. In the first half Woodbury. |
gained on Haddonfield whenever and |
wherever they pleased while Haddonfield |
could scarcely gain yard Toward the |
close of the second half the home team |
seemed to loose their keen edge which is |
liable to happen when the result is beyond |
a reasonable doubt The same thing hap
pened last year much earlier in the game, |
Haddonfield being defeated by only IL |
points when there was at least 30 points |
difference between the two teams.
Haddonfield seemed to have this edge |
taken off of them probably caused by pre-
vious defeats, although they lost no time 10 |
taking advantage of Woodbury's let-up aud !
made several first downs, not getting close
enough to he dangerous.
All the Woodbury. boys deserve credit |
for the victory. Haddonfield could not
find weak spot, until near the close of
the game as before men toned, which shows
that everyone was doing all that was re
quired of him. Captain Rich comes in for
the biggest share for the way he has worked
to get the team into playing form.
One thing is certain Haddonfeld can not
complain of their treatment as they were
given most everything Following is the
