PLAYER SUCCESSFUL IN SIXTH TRY

i drop kicks, the last one going ovel
-, the bar. The one drop kick of the
game which spelled defeat for Bar
ringer was made from the 32-yarC
i line LeQuin, pronounced lie can,
stood far back from the line of scrim-
J mage. He took his time and let the
/. oval fly. Away il sailed, squarely be
> tween the uprights and over the cross
bar. The cheering that followed was
deafening Automobile horns We're
put in action and thousands of East
/ Orange rooters stamped and made as
much noise as possible. Iequin was
the hero and big hero under the
/ circumstances.
Lequin comes in for the big part of
/ the honors. but there were other
| PLAYERS who deserve at least a share
/ of the honors. There was Abbott and
| Fitzsimmons, both of whom rushed
+ the bah well. Little Fit was best
at open field running, while Abbott
/ contributed his part of the program
! with some good kicks, staving off the
I Rarringer attack time and again. At
end Billy Francke performed to ad-
vantage Francke was on the receiv-
/ ing end of the only forward pass
worked successfully by East Orange.
I When il came To lateral passing he
was always on hand and invariably
was good for gains when needed. As
for Barringer the playing OF one
player stood out. Charles Schnel-
der's line plunging was a fine piece
of work He made repeated gains,
sometimes for fifteen yards and an
other time for twenty. On the line
| Sli<er proved botharsome to East or
ange. as he threw Lequin. Abbott and
Congdon for repeated losses. Bud
Noble did all that was asked of him
at guard and Smethurst at centre
held Jack Sehwartzkopf pretty well
when on the defense.
1t was shortly after high noon that
Charles Halstead mounted the ball
in the centre of the field and then
kicked far into East Oranges terri
tory. Abbott grabbed the ball on the
run. but was nailed by Graham
Cairns. The game was then on in
earnest. with East Orange trying to
work behind her thirty-yard line. The
suburbanites tried to gain but once,
Lequin making three yards through
tackle Abbott then kicked, but the
ball was blocked by Sliker, who broke
through the East Orange line. Schnei-
der got the ball. while the Barringer
cheering section started a yell for
touchdown. On a split formation
GARDENER made five yards. Schneider
made two yards on a wedge, but on
the next play Foster was thrown for
a two-yard loss, poor interference
being responsible. The ball was on
East Orange 'stwenty yard line.
Unable to get by East Oranges
forward line on three attempts,
Halstead was forced to kick. His
boot was we'll placed, East Orange
being stopped on her five-yard line.
Fitzsimmons Halts Schneider.
Realizing the danger of trying for
line plunges, Abbott tried to kick out
of an apparent difficult situation.
Cairns received the ball, but made
little Roadway, as the East Orange
ends got him before he could go more
than ten yards. GARDENER gained
seven yards through East Orange 5
left tackle. On split formation
Charles Schneider brought the spec
tators to their feet with a twenty
ward run through the left side of the
East Orange line. Fitzsimmons stood
in the way of Schneider and touch
down, and the little halfback made
good with a hard tackle. GARDENER
got three yards. but when BaTringer
sprung the next shift, known as for
nation ID" the same as that used by
Railway, Cairns was thrown for
two-yard loss. Offside play, however,
cost East Orange a penalty of five
Yards. The ball was on East Oranges
fifteen yard mark, and the Barringer
rooters were yelling for a score. A
triple pass, one of the best plays OF
the game. and one in which Foster,
=,
six yards On a delayed pass Car
denier got through for two yards.
With the ball on the two-yard mark
Barringer had what proved to be its
best chance of the game. Foster elect
ed 10 take the ball and could gain
but one yard The ball then changed
hands. and Abbott promptly kicked
out of danger The kick was a short
one, and the ball barely went over
the players head and not quite as far
as the twenty-yard line. Schneider
had a chance to grab the oval, but
it rolled by him and an East Orange
player fell on it. Abbott kicked to
Foster. who made thirteen yards.
Barringer fumbled and Maynard re-
covered. Duncan nailed him in his
tracks. Abbott and Fitzsimmons
made four yards, but once again on
the next play Duncan broke through
East Oranges first defense and threw
Abbott for a ten-yard loss. Abbott
kicked out of bounds, and it was
Barringers' ball on her twenty-yard
line Cairns kicked to Fitzsimmons,
but East Orange was offside and the
ball was brought back. A lateral pass
was then tried, Foster to Schneider.
II was a good play, but Schneider s
thirty flye-yard run went for naught.
as holding by the Barringer players
cost the team the gain and a fifteen
yard penalty. Cairns kicked and F'itz-
simmons was thrown by Brandies.
