East Orange, unlike Barringer,
keeps up her spirits and is fighting
for athletic fame at every turn. She
won the Interscholastic Association
championship in track and field yes
terday. while Barringer and Stevens
tied for second and Montclair High
was In the rear. East Orange is gen.
orally there or whereabouts. She
shows fight. She hasn't been robbed
of her athletes. though, as was Bar
ringer. and maybe, when you come
to think of it, that does make some
difference. Perhaps, when the new
flock comes into form Barringer will
again show the way. Such a con-
dition will help the school athletic
situation in many and mighty ways.
