Saturday for the long uphill fight at
Montclair, when the "Dutchmen" re-
corded 10 to 3 victory over Mont

for the championship of the noun

half the High School, to all appear
ances, was a gone goose, but the
former Brown star verbally slashed
the Blue and White between the
halves into fighting mood, and it
went forth and reversed affairs. Ball

points resulted from Balls goal from

until Abbott intercepted a forward
pass. Lining up before the Railway
team got started, Abbott wiggled
through the Crimson defense for a
score of yards, Diminutive Fitzsim-
mons added ten more on an eel-like
plunge through tackle. On the next
play, Roper made the feature run
of the day. Taking the ball, the
suburban quarterback wiggled out OF

East Orange Badly Battered.
The triumph of the East Orangeites
was short-lived. Roper, Taylor and
Brentano were forced to retire from
the game. Taylor was out, while
Roper and Brentano were taken out
in order to rest up injuries that had
been bothering the pair since the Ped
die game. In the meantime Railway
slammed the leather down to the East
Orange five-yard line. Rossell failed
in his first plunge for the score
Fumbling of the second attempt
almost prevented the tally, but after
the unpiling process the referee de-
eided that Brown, the Railway guard,
had the greater part of the ball in his
possession, and the play counted as a
Railway touchdown. Armstrong again
failed to kick the goal.
Shortly after the kickoff the sub
urban rooters were amazed to see
second-stringer Bloss tear off o
twenty-yard sprint around left end to
the side line. Referee Selvage brought
the ball back to the original spot, and
then penaliZed East Orange for off
side work. On the next play this
same scrub person carried the ball to
almost the identical spot where he
was downed before. Reynolds, an
other who has decorated the bench
for the greater part of the season,
Melted ten yards, to which Abbott and
Meter added enough to place the
leather on the f1ve-yard lines. Shoot
ing off tackle, Bloss served his turn
by crashing over for the touchdown,

Schwartzkopf kicked the goal.
Railways ends were unable to cope
with the wiles of the East Orange
backs running, and Fitzsimmons
concreted the victory with another
touchdown. Schwartzkopf established
goal-kicking average of 1000 by
scoring the extra point with a third
boot between the uprlghts.

Barringcr Held scorele,..

Quite In contrast to East Oranges
triumph on Saturday was Barringer's
IA to defeat at Pennington. The
seminary lads held the Ridge street,
ers safe in the first half and came
from behind in the second, and
scored the wherewithal for a VIC
tory. Captain Turnquist was the
star of the Pennington attack. In
the second half he slashed off huge
gains through the centre and tackles
of the Barringer line, and while not
making either score, it was he that
made them possible by placing the
leather in a striking position. Turn
quist carried the ball from neutral
territory to the Barringer courtyard
line in the third quarter, from
whence it was an easy matter for
Rorer to score. The second score
was repetition of the first incident.
Turnquist kicked both goals. Bar
ringer had the oval within striking
distance of the Pennington goal on
several occasions, but was unable to
count.

LOCALS WILL DIE HARD
Ridge Streeters' Spirit Not
Conquered by Defeat at
Hands of Pennington.

4, With the season practically over
Barringer and East Orange are on
the last leg of preparation for their
annual Thanksgiving Day conflict.
East Orange concluded with a q to
IL victory over Railway, while Bar
ringer added another defeat to its
burdened record by losing IA to 0 to
Pennington. Despite the absence of
Mock Fischer, the stalwart end, East
Orange. was out to wips and win she
did. The original lire of the Red
and Blue faced the Rahwayians but
a short time. First Roper, then
Fitzsimmons, next Brentano, until an
entirely new backfield was in the
game. Bloss and Reynolds, two of
Ed. MacGalPs second team proteges,
ripped off gains that showed that at
the present time they are as good,
IL not better, than the battered up
regulars. Prentice, Farrar and
Braun, the substitutions for Taylor
and Fischer at end, met In the Rah-
way ends pair of fiankers easily
on part with those of Barringer
and judging from their game on Sat-
urday 1t is believed that the East
Orange scrub extremes will outclass
Barringer's best. Early III the season
Railway defeated Barringer by a
score of IA to 6. Saturday the Union
county lads looked as II they were
about to repeat, for at the close of
the first half the score was similar
to the Barringer tally. But East Or
ange had enough to come from be-
hind and win. That enough" was
lacking in Barringers composition
when the Blue and White met Rah-
way, and it is by this token that the
East Orange eleven is picked by
many to come out at the long end on
Thursday.
