east Orange Ready for Battle.
The game between East Orange
High School and Manual Training
High School tomorrow afternoon at
Ashland Field is regarded by many
as a preseason championship game,
as the suburbanites were the cham
pions of the New Jersey Interscholas-
tic League last year, while the Man
ualites won the football title among
the New York schools. The Red and
Blue was the only eleven that took
the Manalites' measure last fall
Coach Grosenbaugh has put the
champions through strenuous
weeks practise in preparation for the
game, and the suburban boys are
keyed up to a fighting pitch that
will be hard to beat. Yesterday the
scene of workout was changed from
Ashland Field to the Orange Oval
Here two elevens lined up and drilled
at signals for over two hours. New
plays were tried out, and in general
the practise was very satisfactory to
the coach and the supporters of the
team that witnessed the drill. In
the absence of Harry Taylor, the
leader of the East 'Orangeites, Grosen-
baugh has found 1t necessary to de-
vote his attention toward the devel-
opment of a new kicker. In the work.
out yesterday, Fischer, the right end,
was shifted out of the line on all
of the defensive plays to the kicking
position. The new kicker got off sew
eral punts of goodly distance. Fischer
has a spiral that will create havoc
among the local schoolboy backs IL 1t
works in actual play as it did in
practise yesterday.
AT the conclusion of yesterdays
practise, the East Orange coach gave
out list of the players that would
participate in the opening game.
There are two sets of men for every
position, except the tackles, where
Morse and Congdon appear to have the
call The lineup as selected by Gros-
enbaugh follows: Ends, Smith,
Fischer, Farrar and Brown; tackles,
Morse and Congdon; guards, Flynn,
Price, Clement and Fairfield centers,
Cells and Schwartzkopf: backs, Abb
bolt, Whitney, Roper, Reynolds, Met
ter, Bloos, Fitzsimmons and LeQuin.
The last-nameds getting in the game
tomorrow is very doubtful, as he has
been laid up with a bad ankle Roper
will start the game at quarterback.
Harry Taylor, the captain of the East
Orange High School football team,
will don gridiron toys Monday and re-
sumo the leadership of the Red and
Blue eleven. Taylor was the all
scholastic selection for end last year,
and will greatly strengthen the TANKS
of the East Orange School. Another
of last falls veterans who will return
to the football field next week, is
Brentano, a back. Before coming to
the champions rendezvous, Brentano
PLAYED on the Montclair team. He
was the runner-up to Warner in the
tennis series for the championship of
the school Needless to say Grosen-
baugh will welcome both Taylor and
Brentano.
