Lawrenceyille's claim to the state
championship will be tested Saturday,
when Peddie and East Orange grapple
at Hightstown. Peddie has but one
defeat on Its record to date, that
having been sustained two weeks ago,
when Lawrenceville outweathered
Peddie on a wet gridiron by q score
OF 10 to T. The game was accepted
by many as the issue for the New
Jersey championship, but the honor
could not be awarded without a
reckoning of the prowess of Prince
ton PREP" which defeated the re-
doubtable East Orange team by a
score of 8-6. Should Peddie defeat
East Orange by score of at least 6
points the title will again be the ac-
knowledged property of the Hickey
School Railway High School. at pres

amateur status of its players; Dickin-
son High School, of Jersey City, and
Rutherford High School, are probably
the best in their respective classes.
Railway is considered the best of the
trio. It's best performance of the sea-
son was the 14-6 victory over Barrin-
ger. 1t was accomplished in the
second game of the Ridge streeters'

East Side VIII Die Hard.
East Side High School will partici-
pate in its annual grapple with Bar
ringer High School on Wednesday at
the City Athletic Field. While the
Down Neckers are outclassed by the
heavy Ridge streeters, they hope to
put up a stiff battle against the Blue
and White The East Siders are still
handicapped by the absence OF their
captain, George Bauers, who is con-
fined to his bed as a result of the in
juries he received in the game with
Mt. Pleasan Military Academy. It is
said that Bauers's spine has been
hurt. Barringer will present the ma
