The football appetites of one side or the
other, the game was brimful Of exciting
Incidents. Even rough house. was not
overlooked and in one of the mad plunges
Schultze, the fIoboken boys leader, and
the mainstay of the team, was temporarily
put out OF commission, causing his retire
ment from the game.
Creole kicked off for East Orange, and
Stevens, after running the ball back ten
yards, followed by a series of fumbies,
started to attack East Oranges line for
seven and eight yard gains. Cooke, the
star halfback of the Stevens eleven, got in
q seventeen-yard and also a thirty-three-
yard run. The home team, however, finally
held, and after an exchange of punts, Cap
tain Schutze was laid low when Creede hit
him for a hard tackle and some one gave
him a hard knock in the head. Schutze
did not recover from the blow, and all
during the second half he wa seen wan
derlng about with Two of his teammates
| and appeared to be somewhat out OF his
head.
Callahan took his place at fullback and
FaIlon went in at end. Stevens was down
hearted over the accident and was not aDie
to do much aggressive work during the re-
mainder of the half. Although they got
within reach of the goal near the end OF

and got the bali on downs. Creede then
kicked to midfeld twice, being called be-
fore anything further could be done.
In the second half Cooke kicked off Go
Creede underneath East Oranges goal
ports. East Orange, after working the
ends for good gains, started an attack ON
Stevens line with practically no results, as
Caruthers, Cozzeus. HaEne and Trimpi
proved a stone wall.
Stevens was pretty well played out from
the fierce play OF the first half, and Cooke,
who was the 'iron man. of the Hoboken
eleven, was the only man who could gain
ground against the East Orangeites. Time
and again he would shake off eight or
nine Of the opposing team and go tearing
down the field only to be tackled before
reaching the lipe.
The nearest stevens came TO scoring was
in the first half. when Cooke secured the
ball on a forward pass and ran twenty-five
yards for a touchdown. But the, ball was
brought back, as Wright had not run out
the necessary five yards before throwing
the ball across the line of scrimmage.
Twice in the second half East Orange
had a chance to score a field goal, but
Creole missed the goal by big margins.
East Orange had the better of it in the
second half and deserves a great deal OF.

eleven as Stevens has this year. Stevens
was the favorite In the first half, and many
loyal Hobokeu men were wiling to offer
large odds on the game. At the beginning
of the second half plenty OF Hoboken
money could be found ON even terms that
Stevens would win in spite of the fact
that they We're without the assistance CT
