tive scores show that South olut
wouldn't have a chance. By COM
paratiYe scores, l claim that South
Side could hold Peddie to a 3 to 0
score. What's the use of him get
ting up in the air because South Side,
practically new school, gains little
prestige on the football field? Is 1t
any of South Sides business whether
Barringer can tackle or not GOOD
night; why don't the fellow show
| some sense?
I'm sorry to have bothered you, J.
P. n, but 1t gets me mad to read
the rawlings of a guy like that. ! hope

see 1t with both eyes, and oblige,

More about the Barringer High
South Side High controversy from
fresh young man:
j. P. N:
In the Friday issue of your sport
ing columns l read with great ln-
terest what Il Know 1t All wrote
regarding local champion football
honors. 1 heartily agree with him,
/ with Barringer as his choice for local
championship honors. 1t is the height
of foolishness to attempt to compare
South Side with Observation-Disclosures

the schedules of the two teams. Can
you picture what Peddie, Rutherford,
Railway and Lawrenceville would
have done to South Side? Barringer,
unfortunately has had an unlucky
season, and because of such South
Side is fortunate enough to come in
for lot of consideration. Someone's
loss is another's gain.
But for team strength and ability,
10 &c
shoulders over South Side or any
other local school, That goes, and
| there's no denying it.
Well, [ see where BarT1nger is going
to reinstate herself among the top
notch basketball teams this winter.
She has some "pippin" material and
ought to make good. I don't notice
Warshawsky's or Steadmans names
among the squad. What's the trouble?
Have they left school? l hope not,
for those two, along with Bodenstien,
Ecker and Sefkowits, would make the
fur fly on the courts this season.
Here's good luck to the team. Yours
in sport, r. G.
