MIXED LOT FOR BLOCK
TOMORROW AT OLD GLORY.

While nothing of the sensational
sale tomorrow, the material to be sold
will probably attract a large attend
ance. A large proportion Of the horses
to be sold are outclassed trotters and
PAGERS. These, however, in many
cases, make excellent road horses and
speedway performers. The highest
price of this years sale was realized
on The Bondsman, who was sold yes
terday for 81 900. He was purchased

"a Field Goal, Two Touchdowns,
"Kicked" Goal and a Safe
ty Net Locals 10 Points.

NUTPLAYING their opponents at
~ almost every turn and working
together like a h~igh-geared and
perfect machine, Newark High Schools
football warriors wound up their sea-
son in a blaze of glory yesterday aft
ernoon by wiping up their ancient
enemies on the historic Ashland Field
by a score of 16 to 0. The victory gained
them the Interscholastic title. 1t was a
singular, decisive and clean-cut victory
in every way Before the game the
East Orange supporters were giving
odds of 5 to 8 on their team, despite
the fact that Newark's record was
fully as good, If not better, than that
of their own eleven. 1t was better in
asmuch as the Barringer boys had not
been scored upon all season, and the
victory tasted sweeter to the local lads
than did their turkey dinner, which
was waiting for them when they ar
rived at their homes close to 3 o'clock,
hungry and happy.
Newark rooters claimed that the VIC
tory was more decisive than that Of
East Orange yer Newark last year
by a 22-6 score, because the Newark
ers not only scored a victory by the
same margin of points, but they turned
the trick without being scored upon,
and succeeded in maintaining their per-
feet record of the season, an uncrossed
goal line. Furthermore Newark
scored upon East Orange in every man
ner that was possible. Two touch
DOWNS a goal from the field and a
touchdown, as well as a goal from
touchdown, accounts for the in
which the Barringer lads tailed their
points. +.
The ideal weather brought out many
football lovers, who have taken great
interest in the annual football classic
of the schoolboys.
When the kickoff took place at noon
fully 5000 persons had paid their way
into the grounds and the spectacle was
a brilliant one. Members of the fair
sex wearing the colors Of their broth
ers, and friends ~thronged the grand
stand and a special stand erected on
the west side of the field for their
benefit.
The Thanksgiving chrysanthemum
was everywhere in evidence, n lent
its beauty to the scene. The skeleton
like gridiron with its white chalk mark
was hemmed in on all sides with rows
of spectators who stood five deep, but
the crowds were we'll handled and
there was no disorder anywhere. Scores
of autos were unable to gain entrance
to the spacious enclosure and their
owners had to make use of nearby lots
for temporary quarters. 1t was a holi-
day crowd in every way and the cheer

KIND OF PLAY; EAST ORANGE BLANKED

ing and singing of the rival students
were incessant.
During the early part Of the game
the old stage fright of which New
ark has been accused In past years
seemed to be on the East Orange side.
Last year It was Newark that did all
of the fumbling. Yesterday the shoe
was on the other foot, or that is the
boots" were.
The East Orange lads, who have al
ways proved good winners, also proved
good losers, and cheered with the New
ark lads the c~onquering lads.
It was due to fumbling and a clever
piece of headwork by Coach Broadhead
that the Newarkers took the initiative
in the scoring line and were never
headed. Newark won the toss and
chose to kick off to East Orange to the
southern goal. Immediately the sub
urbanites began their butter-fngered
work. There was a tumble by East
Orange and the ball was ~cover by
Newark OF the enemy's 20-yard line.
A try for a touchdown was made and
the Barringer boys got the ball within
striking distance, of the line, but were
penalized fifteen yards. With the ball
