football hereaDOute VIII De reached
tomorrow when at Ashland Field
Barringer and East Orange will
grappie In their annual Thanksgiving
Day game Consistent with the situa-
ton for tho past decade, the holiday
battle will be for the football honors
of the New Jersey Interscholastic
League. For the first time since
Coach Broadhead assumed the ath-
BETTE reins at the Ridge Street Institu-
ton, East Orange is the favorite.
Fl Those afflicted with the prediction
. habit are forecasting an overwhelm-
ing victory for the suburban eleven
\ which has defeated every team In its
1 class met this fall. The most notable
of the Red and Blue victories is the
4 21 to II score registered in the defeat
of Railway High School. Railway
had been going fast, shaving come
through its schedule until last Sat
urday without a blemish on its rec
ord Heavy and fast, the big Grim
son eleven battered up the little
speedsters of the East Orange back
field until Coach Grosenbaugh was
forced to send in his second stringers
infhn attempt to curb the hard-slash-
ing Union County team. No matter
what the result of tomorrows game,
it will be difficult to forget the STIR
crippled East Orange. With the score
IL to against them, the substitutes
responded nobfy and put the Red and
Blue ahead, 14-12, SO that when the
regulars came back in the game, the
gruelling work had been done and
it was but a short time before the
score was boosted to 81 to IL.
Peddie Blot on 'Scutcheon.
1t was noticeable in the last half,
however, that the Railway players
were beginning to totter and 1t is
asserted that they were stale from
the effect of too many championship
better teams of the State, Peddie and
Princeton Prep, East Orange fell
down appallingly. Peddie ran up q
score of 81 points. Coach Grosen-
baugh seeing the futility of attempt
ing to curb the Hightstowners attack
put in the second team men in order
to save the best of the squad for
trast to the showing OF the suburban
ties against Peddie was the resistance
of Barringer earlier in the season.
Peddie exerted itself to the limit and
scored but three touchdowns, two OF
which were the results of the breaks
of the game. The rivals figured more
evenly on the other high-class games

Barringer Defeats Greater.
Barringer has suffered the greater
number of defeats in the comparison
of records, but the class of the
schedule Is far above that of the pro-
gram arranged for the East Orange
ties. Had the Red and Blue taken
on Cornell freshmen and Lawrence
Vile 1t is a certainty that 1t would
have met the same fate Barringer,
by reason of its resistance of the
teams met, is admitted to have de-
/. Tense of which the full power has not
been developed. The light East Or
ange Iinemen will find it a difficult
task to open holes through the heavy
defense that has resisted the efforts
of Shenk and the other backs of Law
renceviI1e and the bulky back field of
Peddie. 1t was around the ends that
the "prep" backs made their gains,
and 1t is believed that the quarter
back of the suburban line will have
to resort to the same tactics. The
Barringer ends are very mediocre this
year. All of the extremes of the
football men and 1t is anticipated that
Al East Orange, whose forte has been
speeding around the ends. will find
this mode of progress possible tomor-
H row. The one drawback to East Or
h ange has been the tackles. Congdon

Great Importance is attached to the

a goal. If Barringer wins the scale of

East Orange ran through a signal

Taylor VIII Brace Team.
Taylor's playing the game will have
great effect on the play of the sub
urbanites, as when he is on the field
the spirit and efficiency of the team is
greatly increased. Fischer, who was
ineligible last Saturday, has scored
preliminary victory in studies, and
will be back in line. Barringer was
