YALE MEN ANGRY
OVER FAILURE TO
GET THEIR TICKETS
5000 Applications for Paste
boards for Princeton Game.
Professors Turned Down.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. H.
Three thousand Yale men were made
hopping mad because the Eli football
management threw out their appiica-
tons for tickets to the Yaie-Prince-
ton football game. The management
was unable to meet, by more tina
5000, the applications from alumni, and
they stopped ~allotting when their
tickets gave out.
Several members of the Yale faculty
were included in the list which was
slashcd, and if some of the players on
the eleven who are taking courses of
study with the d~isgruntled professors
are not declared Ineligible for low
scholarship before the Princeton and
Harvard games the reason will be be-
cause the professors smothered their
feelings at being barred from the
games.
The scarcity of tickets for the Yale
Princeton game is the greatest in Yale
history. and already large bonuses are
being offered for tickets.

EAST ORANGE OUTPLAYS
STEVENS "PREP" IN EVERY
DEPARTMENT OF GAME,

from every angle the East Orange
High School eleven outplayed the
stevens Prep team on Ashland Field
yesterday afternoon by a score of II
to 0. The Stevens boys were handi-
capped when they lost their captain,
Ted Burnham, who played on the East
Orange team last veal He was in
jured in the second period and had to
be taken to his home.
Switzer, as usual, was the mainstay
of the Red and Blue on the offensive
play. Neither side scored in the first
period. In the second period, mainly
through Switzer, East Orange scored a
touchdown, Switzer making a 25-yard
run. In the second half East Orange
ripped things wide open and carried
the ball right down the field for another
touchdown. Welles, in the last period,
on a brilliant run, scored the last
touchdown. Taylor. of East Orange,
twisted an ankle and had to be borne
off the field.

FULLBACK AND CAPTAIN
HARRY DEETJEN BEATS
NEWARK ACADEMY ELEVEN.
Military Academy's Star Runs
Seventy-fve Yards to a Touch
down for the Vict0rs.

Fullback and Captain Harry DeetJen,
team, pulled off a most sensational play
in the third period of the annual foot
ball contest between the Suburbanites
and Newark Academy on the local
Academy field, First and Orange
streets, yesterday afternoon. when, fol-
lowing a punt by Captain Kellogg, of
the Newarkers, Deetjen grabbed the
ball and ran seventy-five yards for the
only touchdown of the game. The big
fullback then kicked the goal.
The play was most unexpected and
decided the game right there, the final
tally reading 6 to 0, in favor of the
visitors.
The entire credit for victory is due to
Captain Deetjen. his clever running,
kicking and alertness counting in his
teams victory.
The Newark eleven kicked off. 1t
was a series of punts throughout the
first half, with honors about even.
Deetjen tried for a field goal from the
forty-yard line in the initial quarter,
but missed by several feet.
The local eleven's chief fault was the
.misjudging of punts. On several occa-
sions the Newarkers had a chance to
gain, but a muff or a tumble spoiled
the chances.
The final period saw the Maroney
combination working like demons to
record a touchdown. A series of rushes
put the locals on their rivals fifteen
yard line. Montclair held for downs,

MONTCLAlR'S LONE SCORE
AGAINST BARRINGERFTES
RESULTS FROM FLUKE.

Though scored upon on a fluke play
for a touchdown by Montclair Highs
football warriors, the Barringer High
boys completely outplayed their sub
urban opponents and had the satisfac-
ton of eliminating the Montclair stu
dents from the Interscholastic League,
so far as the winning of the champions
ship is concerned. Coach Broadhead's
boys showed greater versatility as we'll
as power on the offense than did the
home team, and won hands down.
II to 6.
The open style of football played by
the Blue and White was a revelation.
The Barringerites seem to have de-
veloped the forward pass to perfection,
and in the very first period used 1t
four times to carry the ball to Mont
Glars goal line. Then Dempsey was
given the pigskln, and he broke
through for a touchdown within five
minutes after the game had been
started.
Newark Highs defense was in every
way equal to its aggressive team work.
Some misunderstanding in the third
per iOu, nOWGNcf, Witch thC
players seemed to b. under the impress
sion that an offside play had been
called, allowed Redfield to grab the
ball and run eighty yards through an
open field for a touchdown. The goal
was kicked, and that was the extent
of Montclair's scoring.
Newark High penetrated the Mont
clair defense for another touchdown in
the second period. The victors carried
the ball down the field, and were held
for downs near the enemy's goal line.
Montclair kicked, but Clarke made a
good catch of the twisting pigskin,
and, with remarkable Interference
from Zabriskie. ran thirty yards,
planting the ball behind the Montclair
goal for the second touchdown. Gill
bertson was called on to gain the extra
point, and he toed the leather beauti-
fully over the crossbar. Up to that
time Montclair had not scored, and the
tally stood II to 0 in favor of Newark.
Then in the third period Montclair,
after obtaining possession sof the ball,
started a march down the field to the
Newark goal. They We're stopped
finally and compelled to kick. The ball
was carried TO Newark's thirty-yard
line, and as the field judges whistle
sounded it was believed by the New
ark players hal time had been called.
The ball was allowed to bounce away
and Redheld. recovering it, q eighty
yards for a touchdown. The goal was
kicked. making the score IL to is. This
turn of affairs put the Newarkers on
their mettle.
Gilbertson was a tower Of strength.
ripping up the Montclair defense, and
then. with the ball on Montclair's
thirty-yard line, he was called on to
take il again. He circlsd the end
prettily. and scored Newark's third
touchdown. Clarke kicked q neat goal.
In the last quarter the ball was in
Montclair's territory most of the time,
but they held off the Newarkers. The
ball was on Montclair's two-yard line
when the game ended.
