Newark evening star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1916, 1913-11-28

a general way, the Cornell PennsyI-
vania football game was the leading
event, but locally great Importance
was given to the big school gridiron
struggles, the one at Ashland Oval,
in which East Orange High defeated
Barringer High, and the one at the
City Athletic Field, in which Central
High won from the St. Benedict's
Prep School. Cross-country running,
golf1ng and boxing were very much
in evidence, and taken as q whole the
holiday was an enjoyable one the
country over.

Cornell perpetrated surprise on
Pennsy in their annual contest on
Franklin Field. To have won at all,
would have been suficient upset, but
to win by the score of q to 0 was
about the limit of form reversal.
Cornell played u grand game and
her performance was superior in
every way. On the other hand,
! Pennsy gave ragged exhibition and
could offer no complaint over her de-
feat. She was beaten at every turn
and Cornell, in her final game OF
the season, showed great improve
ment and showed at her best. At
the worst, the Quakers were looked
upon as small-score, but almost sure
winners. They went into the battle
with all the confidence in the world.
but when they were met by the
sturdy resistance Of the Ithacans
they were taken off their feet. They
made blunder after blunder and were
never in the hunt. Cornell though,
was always at herself. Expecting "a
strenuous argument, and perhaps de-
feat, the big Red Team" simply
played its head off, figuratively
/ speaking, from start to finish. Any
advantage, being unexpected, was
thoroughly appreciated, and one gain
was followed by another, until
Pennsy, bewlldered, cracked badly,
and Cornell came on and made an
easy victory out OF game that be-
forehand looked certain for her oppo-
nents.

The Carlisle Brown game was also
sort Of an upset The Indians won,
true enough, but the 10 to score
proved that the contest was much
more even than anticipated. Brown,
after an uncomfortable season on the
gridiron, took brace, it seemed, and
Carlisle. which has been placed along
side of Harvard for the seasons hon.
ors, didn't play up to expectations.
The game was interesting throughout,
and was marked mostly by the stub
born defense put up by Brown. The
| Indians played hard to pile ND a
big score, but Brown held fast and
checked onslaught after onslaught.
AS the contest turned out the result
was feather in the cap of Brown.
! Carlisle won, but she was not the
hollow winner by any means that
everybody looked for.
o
! Out of Notre Danes victory over
Texas, Rupe Mills, Newark boy,
! comes In for especial mention. Mills
made sensational catch of for
ward pass which resulted in a touch
down for Notre Dame. The score
OF the contest was 30 to Z, Texas, like
nearly every other eleven which has
opposed Notre Dame, making a tally.

The Barringer High School hasn't |
quite recovered yet from her defeat
by the East Orange High School.
Tho local boys, apparently, had the
game won, but they went to pieces
in the final quarter and East Or
ange came home a joyous, but un-
unexpected winner. The outcome of |
the battle was not according to form
at all. East Orange was looked |
upon as very certain. She had dis |
played such excellent football |
throughout her schedule that Bar
ringer, which hadn't shown much.
was looked upon as an easy victim. |
Once in the game, however, Bar
ringer played East Orange TO q |
standstill The thirteen points the
locals accounted for In the first quar-
ter seemed like u winning lead, and
even when East Orange made a
touchdown in the second quarter and
held Barringer tight, the prospects
| for the locals continued to appear
bright The third quarter was again
in favor of Barringer with points
| as result of that period of play,
but then followed the cruel onslaught
of the desperate East Orangeites and
Barringer was swept from almost
positive victory into unexpected de-
feat.
Barringer was beaten because she
couldn't stand success. She surprised
East Orange in the early stages and
East Orange couldn't understand 1t
and couldn't get her stride. When
East Orange became desperate in the
final period and forced the issue.
Barringer cracked and East Orange
came on to victory. The better team.
1t would seem, won the day, and
surely East Orange is far the bet
ter team on the seasons work. The
