Against Barringer Surpassed
Admirers FOndest Hopes.

East Side Coach Credited With
Favoring Abolition of
Football.

All was joy In Central High
Schools corridors this morning as a
result of the to tie score that
the High street institutions football
team registered against Barringer
High School yesterday morning in
the annual gridiron conflict on City
Athletic Field. Facing predicted
defeat, the navy-clad warriors of the
Wiener school fought to a standstill
the Branch Brook school eleven.
Though the records of neither school
up to yesterday would have caused a
blush of pride on the cheeks of their
lair supporters, Barringer was fore
casted winner.
Didn't Give Central Chance,
The prediction was based on the
games of both with Stevens. The
Barringerites had walloped the Ho-
bokenites by tally of 80 TO 0, while
Central had succumbed to the tune
1914, after a disastrous first half.
Only the more faithful of the Central
admirers thought that their favorites
would stand a chance with the
brawny wearers of the Blue and
White. Their hopes We're indicated
when the Central team not only in
augurated the scoring, but outplayed
Barringer at its own policy of game.

tackle, would boot it out of danger.

season Sargeant's charges seemed to
have some initiative of fight in their
makeup.
big Improvement In Defense.
The Improvement in tackling was
particularly noticeable Foremost In
this department of the game was
Bngelberger, on the left side of the
secondary defense. His side of tho
line was almost impregnable, a fact
due to the vicious tackling of the
~iry importation from Irvington.
tiarringer Best In Second.
Barringer's best quarter was the
second Central had pushed the leath
er on line plunges to the thirty-fiye-
yard line after Bossett had inter-
cepted a forward pass at the centre
of the field. Safer attempted q drop
kick from this point, which went
askew. Central was penalized for
offside work, but recovered the ball
when a Barringer back fumbled
Smith was hurried on his kick and
The ball went out of bounds after q
flight of twenty yards. On the re-

injured leg. In the final period Bar

to score after blocking a kick of
smiths and was penalized for push

fifteen-yard mark, Central seemed
master of the situation and repulsed
the efforts of Barrlnger TO score.
Nearly a Riot.
Considerable excitement was caused
at this juncture when Eugelberger,
on the next play, alleged that Hum
