in the Northern New Jersey League,
II being boast of the Rutherford CO
horts that Hillhouse never started
without materializing a gain. All or
these men are we'll drilled on second
airy defense play, and 1t would be
virtually futile to attempt forward
pass in their territory.
Put ON Second Team.
Engelberger, of Central; Bloss, OF
East Orange; Bingham, of Kingsley;
Brentano and Abbot, of East Orange;
Hazel, of Montclair Academy, and
Moore, of Montclair High School, We're
all considered with the result of the
first named trio being placed on the
second team.
Roper's Work Brilliant.
To Laurence Roper, the East Or
ange quarterback falls the general
ship position. Roper not only direct
ed brilliantly the play of the State
champions but clipped off the gains
himself when necessary. His running
in the Railway game will be long re-
membered hereabouts as a criterion
of open field running. Roper was al
most infallible on the handling OF
kicks. However, he seldom served in
this capacity as the East Orange de-
Tense stationed him close to the line,
allowing FitZsimmons to catch the
punts.
Hall Next to Roper.
Similar to Roper's style is that of
Ball, of Montclair Academy, named
for the second team. Ball was the star
of the Mac Vicar eleven. The other
uuarterbacks of the district were
mediocre, with the exception or
III. Ta.rI Cah
Armstrong, of Railway, and Safer,
of Central, who toward the close or
the season gave surprising indications
of form.
Fischer and Brooks Shine.
Fischer, of East Orange, and Brooks
of Railway, are given the end posi-
tons, as they clearly overtopped all
of the ends in the vicinity. except
Harry Taylor, the East Orange cap
tain. Taylor is deprived of his usual
position on the all-scholastic flank
only by physical incapability. Taylor
began the season weakened from an
Illness which taxed his strength.
Despite this fact, the suburban cap
tain stuck with his team to the end,
playing the same heady game without
the power behind 1t. He Is placed on
the second team with Pagano, the
crack extreme of Ridgewood.
schaaf Versatile star.
Schaaf, of Barringer, and Morse, of
East Orange, have the call on the
tackle positions. Schaaf was used al
ternately at tackle and end during
part of the season, but was primarily
a tackle. Morse, the suburban selec-
ton, makes a keen running mate for
Schaaf. Both are heavy and are
powers on the defense and offense.
Captain Smith, of Central High
School. and Downey. of Stevens, We're
best in their respective lines and are
given positions on the second eleven.
Diveny, of Montclair High, and his
teammate Starrett were not far
behind the last two named.
Guards at n Premium.
Good guards were at premium in
the scholastic circles. Hill, the col
ored boy of Montclair High School,
was shifted from tackle to guard dur
ing the season and was stone wall
beside knight, the all-scholastic
centre of last year. His great work
in the Barringer and Montclair Acad-
envy grapples qualities him for place
on the all-scholastie Noble, of Bar
ringer, is a first-year football man,
but he has shown such form that he
could not be disregarded for the
other sentinel position.
Few other guards of equal calibre
can be found, although Price and
Leeb, who are given places on the
second string, came along strong at
the close of their schedules.
Arnold Is Centre.
Arnold, of Kingsley School. is
placed at centre. Knight. of Mont
clair High School, who was named
for this honor during the past
two years, fell off sadly this fall
in form. Schwarzkopf of East
Orange. and Fits, of Barringer,
both outplayed the Mountain Town
pivot in their games with the
Dutchmen. Arnold is a sure pass and
an excellent exponent of defensive
play. In almost every game of the
Kingsley schedule the Essex Fells
pivot blocked a kick. The East Or
ange centre is placed on the second
