Bill Stone kicked Morris High School
out of bad hole yesterday afternoon in
the last few minutes of play in the foot
ball game against the Stuyvesant eleven
on Manhattan Field, at l49th street and
Eighth avenue. With Manly, the quar-
terback, holding the ball. Stone kicked
goal from placement that turned a Morris
defeat INTO victory by the final score OF
9 to 7. II was a repetition of the same
daring spirit which Stone had displayed
week ago, when he kicked the way TO
victory over De Witt Clinton's football
warriors in the closing moments OF
desperately fought contest.
The cohorts of Morris made Stone their
hero at the final blast of the whistle
The triumphs over De Witt Clinton ana
the formidable Stuyvesant teams were
credited TO the dashing right halfback.
He certainly richly deserved the laurels
for his performance against the Maroon
and White, as he had bungled fair
kick for goal after a touchdown, at tce
beginning of the game, and later had
twice missed glowing opportunities for
scoring from placement when Erwig, So
follower and Manly had fought the ball
directly before the Stuyvesant posts
Stones winning kick was made from the
2O-yard line. Manly coolly handling the
ball, while the entire Stuyvesant line

masterful way. Stuyvesant had tackled
splendidly and had repeatedly broken up
the forward passing, which has played
such a prominent part in all of the games

Nine times did Morris attempt the for
ward pass. Huggenvig, Erwig, Manly ana

1t was chiefly at straight, old-fashioned
football. in which Huggenvig. the Morris
right tackle, shone to advantage, that
the "co-eds" were successful In advanc-

worked like a team OF thunderbolts at
smashing their way through the Stuyve-

threatened the Morris territory.

quarter and there was not another tally

Of victory at the end Of the game.
The second and third quarters were
filled with the kind OF football that goes
