AVERAGES TELL STORY OF TIGERS
SUCCESSFUL CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT

Figures tell their own story in ex-
planning why the Newark Information

that the Tigers, as team, ranked
second in the defensive department,
holding the same position in fielding
as they did In batting.
In addition five of the first eight
regular pitchers ranked according to
games won and lost were Newarl1ers.
Raleigh Aitchison had the remark
able percentage of 1903 for 20 games,
a record slightly better than eight
victories out of every ten starts Enz-

All Dope Upset.

The overwhelming defeat of East
Orange has upset all of the predictions
for the Thanksgiving Day game with
East Orange and Barringer. Last
week those that thought Barringer
stood a chance for a victory on the
holiday were few and far between
Now Barringer stock has taken a huge
bound and the Blue and White will
enter the battle an even favorite. The
only drawback to Barringer's success
on Thanksgiving Day is the weakness
of the local ends. The Ridge street
team is handicapped by not having q
pair of flankers that will at least be
able to take care of their opponents,
Fisher and Taylor. Van Ness, of last
years team, showed up we'll, but
sprained his ankle in the early season
and has not yet recovered it's use. Ten
Eyck, a green player, and Searles, who
is very light, have attempted to fill
the bill to date, with scant success.
Schaaf has played at end during the
last two games and has put up a good
game, although 1t is apparent that
his efforts are best at the tackle posi-
ton. Unless Chief Broadhead can
rid the present incumbents of their
slowness and can teach them the ele-
mentary duties of an ~end, Barringer
is doomed for a defeat on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, even though Peddie did
slough the suburbanites under a Oh
point landslide.

VIII Protest Defeat.
When darkness halted the National

day afternoon. the Skeeters were
leading by four goals to none. The
game was called fifteen minutes be-
fore the regular time OF ninety min

test will not 20 into the record, but
will have to be replayed at a date
named by the board of directors of
the league.
Although the score indicates the
game was one-sided. 1t was not, as
the MacDonalds played pressing
game throughout and were turned
back time and time again when in a
position to score. The encounter was
PLAYED IN drizzling rain, and on a
field ankle deep in mud, which
Referee Nesbit said was playable.

East Orange Defense Fails.

An assertion has often been made
that East Oranges defensive work
was far below the par of its offensive
play. Until Saturdays contest there
had never been an opportunity to
test the truth of this statement. On
Saturday the East Orangeites' de-
Tense received a true test and WIS
found lacking. On the offense the
suburban boys could do little better.
One first down was all that the East
Orange eleven could make throughout
the game. OF course the Peddie team
was much heavier than the East Or
ange eleven, but this advantage was
well known before the game. The
Hightstown lineup was practically the
same as that presented against Bar
ringer earlier in the season, and was
cs lainly no weightier than the teams
that Barringer has succeeded in de-
feating twice since the inauguration
bf play with the down Staters.

Athletic League VIII Discuss
Admittanoe of ST. Benedicts
to Circuit Today.

A good big man can always beat
good little man. The same applies
to football-a good big team can al
ways wallop a good little team. Ped
die institute demonstrated the truth
of this axiom Saturday, when the
Hightstown boys walloped East Or
ange, touted as the best In the local
scholastic district, by the score of 81
TO 0. II was admitted before the
game that the Peddieites outweighed
their opponents by at least ten pounds
to a man, but it was supposed that
the far-famed open play ability of
the East orangeites would belittle the
Peddie teams advantage. When Ped
die defeated Barringer early in the
season by a score of q to 0, the
Ridge streeters lost out on the Ped
dieites' alertness to grasp opportuni-
ties. Barringer did not seem to be
hopelessly outclassed. Only one OF the
Peddie scores was made from direct
offensive play. The other two were
scored by recovering a tumble and
the interoeption of a forward pass.
1t was because of this play against
Barringer that the East Orangeites
we're touted to win, as before the
game on Saturday the 1912 New Jer-
sey interscholastic champions were
considered far superior to the Branch
Brook school representatives by rea-
son Of the comparison of the teams
work against the mutual opponents
met this season. East Orange rolled
up an S5-point score against Stevens
and a Appoint total against Central,
as compared with Barringer's 33-point
win over the Hobokenites and to 8
tie with the High street lads. Peddie
defeated East Orange at its own type
of play. Peddie's smashing the line"
tactics In the first quarter played
havoc with the suburban forwards.
Norcross and others galloped through
the huge openings created by the bur-
lies of the Peddie line, Norcross break
ing away for sixty yards on one oc-
casion. The East Orange ends, who
were cracked up as the best pair OF
schoolboy extremes in the East, came
in for their share of attention. Tay-
lor seemed to be able to stop the
hard-running Peddie backs, but Fish
er fiunked badly In his tackles. Usu-
ally dead stop to the runner. the
Red and Blue end let his man get
away several times.
