Cross-country prospects at Central
High took an immense boom yester-
day afternoon. when It was learned
that Charles Boghton, former track
star. had re-entered school Boughton
was one of the Barringer cinder path
men who decided 10 cast their lot with
Coach Carl g. Anderson when he as
sumed the athletic reins Of the High
street institution upon its opening. He
continued his athletic activities until
the spring of last year when he left
to enter business.
Under Anderson,s tutelage Boughton
made splendid progress. At Barringer
he was second in the distance events
only TO Frank Burke, the Lad who
broke John Paul Jones's freshman
mile record of 4 minutes and q Sec
onds AZ Cornell. Coming to Central,
Boughton was unfortunate, as he was
forced 10 com pete with the perform
ances sbf Joe Meyer, holder of the in
door scholastic record of 4 minutes S6
seconds, and who at that time was
occupying the limelight at Central.
Nevertheless, Boughton made a first
class showing. At the Princeton in
terscholastic games last year he
forced Ezra Wenz, the Roseville flyer,
to break record to lead him over the
/ tape in the two-mile championship
race. Wenz's time was caught at 3
minutes 50 seconds. Coach Anderson
is very enthusiastic over the return of
1 his former charge, and expects him TO
make things hum this fall in the
scholastic hill and dale world.
/ Probably the most important migra
ton this fall by local scholastic ath-
letes is that Of Ronald Smith, the
/ twirler of the Barringer baseball
team. Smith left this morning for the
University of Missouri. where he will
| take up agriculture. Besides being a
baseball player. Smith played on last
years ball team at the Ridge street
institution.
| Stanley Sutton, the burly end Of
the Blue and White 1912 eleven, failed
| to get into Barringer this year as a
result of the Board of Educators
ruling that all Clinton Hill residents
were obliged to attend the new South
Side High School. Sutton will leave
this week for Hightstown, where he
will attend the Peddie Institute. SUIT

Three Veterans for Bnrringer.
Now that the school has settled
down to studies and the football
squad has reported in full the num-
Der of veterans that Chief Broad
head has to rely on for the lineup
of this seasons Barringer. eleven may
be enumerated as three-Andrew
Dempsey, William Mansfield and Ell
wood Van Ness. OF these three
Dempsey is the only one that may be
truly called a veteran, as Mansfield
and Van Ness were showed under last
year by the wealth of heavier and
more experienced material.
| Mansfield was on the bench watch
ing Jose and Bush at quarterback
for which position he is slated thit
season. and in this way got a line
on the generalship proposition
Dempsey played at end and half
back alternately and was called upon
to do the bulk of the kicking. Al
this phase of the game he was with
out an equal hereabouts with the
possible exception of George stan
ford. of Central High School. Van
Ness got in the game several times
for short periods. which experience
with his increased weight should
| make MIN an extremely NdlQdDlc
tanker. Pete Schaaf is expected
to return to Barringer during the
coming week. Last year Schaaf sub
stituted at tackle.

The moving picture man will take
a film of the interscholastic cross
country race to be run later in the
season under the auspices of Column
bia University at New York city. AS
both the Barringer and Central High
School hill and dale teams have been
entered in the New York race it may
be hoped that when the pictures are
screened a Newark boy may fash
across as the winner.
Central High School has two of the
ukeliest recruits to be seen on the
local schoolboy gridiron. In the per-
sons of George Smith, the captain
and tackle. and Harry Bennett. the
fullback Both have been down al
the shore all summer, and as con.
sequence both are in the best of con-
dition Captain Smith weighs con-
| siderably over the $50 mark, while
Bennett sends the indicator around tt
the 1913 mark Bennett is a trifie slow
at best, but Coach Sargent hopes to
4 remedy this fault by working him
good and hard.
