Yesterdays Result.
stevens, IL; Montclair, :,
Out of a squirting mass of play
ers at the Montclair A. c. grounds
yesterday in Montclair jumped Ken
meth Day, scoring O touchdown for
Stevens Prep. against Montclair High
school in the New Jersey Interscho-
lastie Athletic Association League
contest. This happened in the third
quarter a few minutes later, after
the ball had been kicked off by Stew
ems, Montclair worked the ball to
Stevens's thirty five-yard line. Once
again the figure Of Kenneth Day
doomed up. Montclair, after gaining
two first downs, lost the ball on
tumble. The oval was caught before
1t reached the ground and Day, who
played a halfback position, raced
sixty-nve yards for another touch
down. stevens finally emerged a VIC
tor by score of IL TO Z, proving con-
clusively that the victory over East
Orange q week ago was no luke, as
many would believe.
Day, who spoiled all the fun for
Montclair, is but a youngster expe-
riencing his first year in the Stew
ems teams line-up. He is on the type
of lied" Coy, the famous Yale
player, and his work yesterday
stamps him as one OF the best, If
not the foremost, of scholastic back
field players. His open field running,
sensational line plunglng and ability
to give the best of Interference at
critical times brought his team with
in the confinement OF Montclair's ter
ritory time and again. Butler Down
ing, an all-scholastic choice last year
for tackle, also showed to advantage
by plunging holes In the Montclair
lineup. Montclair had good chances
to score, but when the team got
anywhere near the visitors ten-yard
mark IL was forced to try forward
pass, this method of attempting to
score resulting IN failure on TWO
different occasions, F'umbles were
costly to the Montclair boys, twice
causing considerable damage
1t was not until the last quarter
that Montclair began to wade after
its opponents. The home boys tore
up ground and soon had Stevens
playing on the defensive more than
at any part of the game. On its own
FIVE yard mark stevens tried to rush
the BAH instead of putting. Cotter,
after his teammates failed on three
chances to penetrate the Montclair
defence made n Snort kick which
Shelton Moore grabbed and ran TO
the fifteen-yard line. Francisco made
three yards, and then George Hill
went the rest of the way, skirting
Stevens's right flank for a touch
down, Starrett kicking the goal.
East Orange and Barringer High
School players were on hand and
rooted strenuously for Montclair.
After the game Kenneth Day was
hoisted on the shoulders Of the Stew
ems followers and escorted from the
field. A snake dance through the
streets of Montclair was then in or
der, over $50 boys from the Ho-
boken institution taking part. The
