Substitute players seldom get a
chance to prove football heroes at
critical periods of scholastic football
games. In the Newark High School
League game yesterday. between Bar
ringer and Central High School, 81
the City Athletic Field, in which the1
first-named team emerged a victor
by a score of to 0, Herbert Diamond
was the substitute player who filed
in the big role Of hero in the third
period He was sent in to reliexs
Perry Foster at quarterback. and
after directing two plays he took the]
ball around Centrals left end for
some fifteen yards and just barely
missed registering a score, being
thrown out Of bounds. When the
ball was brought out, Barrtngez
made its touchdown from the two
yard mark. Diamonds run came al
q period when Barringer was begin
ming to find Central presenting 2
stonewall defence in the neighbor=
hood of the twenty-yard line.
When Barringer's players finally
managed to get the ball over il was
a matter Of inches. Charles Schnei=

Three times Barringer made att
tempts to get by the Central line. but
/ in each instance II met with stiI OPP
position, neither Cairns nor Gardnt =

| down Schneider plunged through
! Central's left tackle and scored what
proved to be the lone count OF tho
game Gardner lost a chance to ado
i another point when he missed the
kick following the touchdown.
As far as the game itself. 1t was q.
slow and duh affair. Big runs there
were few and about the only thing
that helped enliven matters was 8
timely forward pass and the antics
OF the schoolboys from each school
Neither eleven showed much In the

piunging with an occasional forward

Mausert and Noble were being found
for gains by the Central backfield
members. Both Bennett and Bossetf
were Centrals big stars Bossett
several times slirted the ends for
gains. which, while not big, were
productive of first downs on two DIFF
