Once again the race for the New
Jersey Interscholastic League football
title will be decided on Thanksgiving
Day at Ashland Field, for once again
, have Barringer and East Orange
eliminated Montclalr and Stevens In
the annual grldiron campaign for the
championship of the league. Mont
clair appeared unusually strong in
the early season, and predictions
were that the mountain towners
would be in the running. A heavy
aggregation, with slashing line of
attack, the team made an unaccount-
ably poor showing in the battles with
East Orange and Barringer. In the
first quarters OF both games Coach
Vic SchwartOs plays would carry the
pigskin right to the shadow of their
opponents goai-posts. only to be lost
through some error OF judgment. Par
ticularly was this so In the East Or
ange game. Montclair had the New
Jersey interscholastic champions on
the toboggan. With puzzling cross
bucks the Dutchmen fooled even
Fischer the star extreme of the SUBJ
urban eleven, and consternated the
East Orange stands by marching to
the ten-yard chalk. A score seemed
imminent until a forward pass was
attempted, only to have the East Or
ange defense intercept and turn the
tide of battle. From that period the
Montclairites were ever on the de-
fensive, and the East Orange Shift
ness prevailed for a 24-to-0 victory.
Closer still was the Barringer game.

Dempsey put the Blue and White
ahead in the first half, to which score

contest, while East Orange scored a

Ridge streeters bumped.
Quite in contrast to the parade of
East Orange is the record of Bar

youngsters that donned the moleskins

mered heavily, the Barringer team
euccumbed to Lawrenceville, Peddie
and Cornell freshmen. These elevens
were way out of the locals class at
the time of meeting. Railway was
more even match for the locals.
Dempsey was the only man of the
local eleven that was not afflicted
with stage fright, and he scored all
of the points of the short end or a
14-to-6 score with goals from the field.
