SCHOOL FOOTBALL TODAY


Belleville High School VS.. Bloom
field High School.
East Orange High School football
players practised yesterday for the
first time since the hard game on
saturday with Manual Training High
School. All of the participants in
Saturdays contest were present with
the exception of Congdon, who in
jured his arm in the final period of
the Manual game, and Horace Smith,
who has left school. An X-ray was
taken last night to determine wheth-
er or not Congdon's arm was broken.
Brentano. the ex-Montclair star
joined the candidates for the first
time this season and was given
chance in the backfield. Coach Gro
senbaugh ran the squad for a long
period against the moving tackling
dummy. as he was displeased with
the ragged defensive work put up by
the East Orangeites in Saturdays
game. Two teams were lined up in
forty fve-minute scrimmage. The
accident to Congdon leaves a space
at right tackle which is causing some
uneasiness. Jack Fairfield is being
tried in the position for the present
and gives promise of making good.
Montclafr VS.. Stevens.
Montclair Academy will don the
moleskins on Friday for the first
time this season and play Stevens
School. While Stevens has a weak
team this fall, judging from the over
whelming defeat it suffered last Sat
urday at the hands of the none too
strong Stuyvesant High School, the
contest will serve as q tryout for the
Montclairites, who are said to be one
of the best crews of pigskin chasers
in the vicinity. Bill Hazel. the for
mer star athlete at the MacNicar
School, has the. coaching of the Macs
in charge and under his tutelege the
new material is progressing well.
Five veterans are among the candi-
dates that are out for the eleven.
They are Hazel, Niese, Grymes,
Crane and Ball. Around this quin-
tet Hazel is forming an eleven that
compares with the best of scholastic
stock. The most promising of the
new material at hand is Dunn at
guard. Dunn was the possessor of
broken arm last fall and conse-
quently not among the gridiron can
didates. Taylor played at centre last
year at Buffalo High School. Pas
ter is another promising candidate.
Hazel, at tackle last year, has been
shifted to fullback, where his weight
of 1T pounds will be of greater adj
vantage. Radford is a remnant of
last falls scrub team. Hazel intends
to place him at halfback.
Bennett Looks Good.
Central High School, realizing the
strength of East Orange, is scrim-
maging hard in order to season the
new players for the battle on Sat
urday. Doc Sargent expects the An
dersonites to make much better
showing against the champions than
they did at Roselle, where they had
case of stage fright. Looming big
in the practise yesterday was
"Beany" Bennett, the giant fullback
of the Centralites. Bennett weighs
1913 pounds. Last fall was his first
season at football and he lowered
way above his teammates In the mat
ter of ground gaining. Sargent an
ticipates Bennett to be still more con-
sistent this year. Baer. the quarter
back of the Central team, is still a
trife crude in his judgment, but may
be expected to make things hum later
on in the season. Captain George
Smith, at tackle. is being used to
kick. This is Smiths first season
as booter and In view of the fact
he is doing well. In last Saturdays
game, smith failed to show any
thing at all, but this was probably
due to nervousness. In practise he
had been reeling them off for forty
odd yards.
Montciair High Notes.
MontclaiS. High School is to be a
strong contender this fall for the
New Jersey 'Interscholastic League
football title. Last year East Or
ange and Barringer had a harder
tussle to get away with the noun
tain town boys than the scores de-
note. In fact it was only at the end
of the last quarter that the cham
pionship East Orange eleven piled
over The touchdown that won the
game. This year marks the. turning
out of the most promising squad that
the Dutch" school has ever known.
