handed a jolt such as it probably
never experienced in the history Of
the school. Not in twelve years has
the Prep. beaten East Orange.
1t was not until the last few min
utes OF play that the game was de-
cided. Crovat, the Hoboken teams
quarterback, dropped far to the rear
of his line and kicked a pretty drop
from the thirty-five-yard line. That
goal, which spelled defeat for East
Orange, the first this season, appar-
entity awakened the eleven, as ii tore
after Stevens soon after the kick off,
and had the ball on the home teams
six-yard line at the end of the game.
Great work by ABBOT and Bloss en-
abled East Orange to get within the
shadow of the Stevens teams goal
posts. As a last means for victory
East Orange called for a forward
pass, but 1t failed.
Stevens scored in the first quarter,
and East Orange evened matters in
the third period. Apparently the
Stevens team had figured East Or

practicing and which was mainly re-

feet by making a long run of some
thirty yards, and was thrown by
Fitzsimmons on the four-yard line.
