CUuNTY CHAMPIONSHIP

On Sunday afternoon. November %, at
legro F. G. will meet in what will un-
doubtedly be one of the severest strug-
giles to be seen on the gridiron here
abouts. There is a strong rivalry be-
tween these teams for the 125-pound
championship of Hudson County, which
the Davis A. A. captured from the Paul
us Hook It. G. on October 28. Neither
team has as yet been defeated this seas
on, the Davis A. A. having not even been
scored against, and as each team will en-
deavor TO keep its record clear, there is
no doubt as TO the kind of a struggle the
spectators will be treated to. Besides
playing for the championship, there has
been a side bet of fifty dollars made by
each team.
The Allegro's are considered one of the
fastest taems in this vicinity, and with
such players as Langdon., Price, Taylor,
Townsend, viii give the Davis A. A.
plenty of work and trouble to keep them
from crossing their line; on the other
hand, the material Of which the Davis
A. A. is composed can be depended to do
their utmost, and as all the members
have recovered from the battering they
received in the Paulus Hook game, it will
be no baby's task to stop their rushes.
Otto and Hugo Fietag, the star tackle
and fullback of the Davis A. A., who
have been out of the game for three
weeks, win again get into their togs.
Hovey, who has been suffering from a
sore ankle, has fully recovered and is
now rushing with more speed than at
any time this season. Haven, who for
merly played quarterback on the Uniyer-
sity of Chicago team, and who is now
filling that position on the Davis A. A.
team, has materially strengthened the
back field. aud his great punting ability,
coupled with his experience in running a
team, makes him one of the most valua-
BILE men thus far secured. Coach Kin
kead has been paying special attention to
drilling Diffendeffer and Hughes in get
ting down the field on punts, and says he
is now satisfied that he has two of the
best ends to be found on any of the
teams in this vicinity.
Captain Norton will have his team out
for secret practice on Thursday night,
when they will be put through all their
formations and signals. They will not
line up against a scrub, as il is not deem
ed advisable to take any chances on any
of the men getting hurt.
On Thanksgiving morning at West
Side Park the Davis A. A. will play
the Harion A. G. and in the afternoon
at Baldwin Park they will play the
famous Colonial f. G. of Belleville for
the championship of the State, which is
claimed by the Colonials, who have not
been defeated in four years. having play
ed two tie games with the Davis A. A.,
neither team being able to score An
admission fee of fifteen cents will be
charged for this game.
