In the field when the time for play was
called. Christ Church team, Willie not COM
posed of such big fellows as the other
side, was more confident, and in five min
utes of play sent Philip Cook across the
opposing teams line for a touchdown and
the goal was kicked by George Anderson.
The scoring brought on a big wave Of
cries and cheers, the Christ Church fol-
lowers being wildly hailed as the coming
champions, while the school pupils favor
ing Columbia begged their heroes to get
In the game.' But Christ Church was not
TO be put down, and soon sent Cook over
the line again for another touchdown, and
the trusty foot of Anderson sent the ball
between the uprights for another goal.
With the score 10 10 0 both sides struggled
desperately, but neither in the first nor
second halves could either score again.
The ball was in midfield when the game
was called owing to darkness, and Christ
Church team Is the champion school team
today.
Messrs. Rosenbaugh, Belcher and Taylor,
OF the East Orange Ugh School faculty,
