HIGH LOSES FIRST
INTERSCH0LASTlC GAME,

Although weakened by the loss Of
several of their regular players, the
Orange High School football team put
up a good game against the Hacker
sack High School Yesterday afternoon
at the Watsessing Park grounds, East
Orange, losing by the score OF II to 5.
Hackensack's victory was mainly due
to their long gains through b Or
ange line, which was nab to with
stand the heavier opponents. When
the Orangeites obtained the ball, they
could do nothing with their oppo-
nents' limo, their principal gains being
made on forward passes. The three
noints scored by Orange proved the
feature of the game when Ted Leth-
bridge, quarterback, lifted the pigskin
with a drop kiek over the bar from
the thirty-five yard line. H~ackensack
crossed the Orange goal twice. nee in
each half, and two easy goals were
kicked. This was the first game in
the Northern New Jersey Interschol-
astic League,
