long runs IuAL were idteT pIOuuc-
tive of scoring, coupled with the ex-
cellent work of the forward line, en-
abled the Central High School foot
ball team to dispose of the Dover
/, High School eleven at the City Attn
letic field yesterday afternoon by a
score of 80 to o. Twice did Sidney
Safer, the Central High School
teams quarterback, skirt the ends
for long gains, while Bossett, Ben
nett and Krout brought the crowd
to its feet time and again by their
spectacular work in carrying the
ball. Although they did not figure
much in the sensational line the
work of Harold Engleberger and
Crawford Lockwood came in for a
good deal of favorable comment. En-
gleberger starred on the defensive,
while Lockwood's best work came in
the last quarter, when he aided
Krout in covering eighty yards for a
touchdown.
Centrars work was watched closely
by the members and coaches of the
Barringer, South Side and Newark
Academy football teams. If the
players of the city school teams came
to the City Athletic field with the
idea of getting a line on the inside
workings of the Central they were
sadly disappointed. Straight foot
ball was the rule as far as Central
was concerned. The local team tried
three forward passes and two Of
them worked to perfection. The first
came in the initial quarter, when
Safer tossed the ball to Hopkins,
resl ing in a ten-yard gain. Another
forward was tried in the second pc
riod but this one failed in its pur-
pose. The third came in the same
period, and this time Krout made
small gain, receiving pass from
Safer.
In less than five minutes after the
whistle had blown Central had scored
a touchdown Central kicked off to
Dover, but the latter was forced to
kick after failing to penetrate 'e
line. Once in possession of the ball,
Central began to advance on the goal
posts. Line plunging on the part OF
Bennett, Bossett and Engleberger,
and a thirty-yard run by Safer
brought the ball to Dover's ten-yard
chalk line. At this point Bennett was
given the ball, and he made good in
one plunge. Krout was rather off in
kicking goals. He missed three in
four attempts. There was no fur
Their scoring in the first quarter.
In the second period of play Coach
Sargent's charges scored thirteen
points. Bossetts gain around right
end and q forward pass, Safer to
Hopkins, brought the ball to within
striking distance of the goal. Saf1er
made fifteen yards. going by way of
left end and later scored a touch
down in the extreme corner of the
field. Bennett punted out to Erler,
but Krout again missed the goal.
After the touchdown Dover kicked
off again and Safer made a good run,
placing the ball in the centre of the
field After making a thirty-five yard
run Bossett was given the ball and
succeeded in making touchdown
from the ten-yard line. Bennett took
up the kicking and was successful
In locating the goal posts.
Dover began to show signs of COM
Ing back in the second half. The
baclSfield made two first downs and a
good run by Jennings placed the ball
on Centraps twenty-yard line. A bad
tumble, however spoiled whatever
chance the visitors had OF making
O touchdown. Central had several
substitutes working In the third pc
Rod. During the entire game the
Dover team played with the same
eleven men who lined up at the start.
Young, Pierce, Richards and Dicls1
were on the sidelines, but neither
player was called upon by Captain
Buckley.
A puzzling spiral brought about
another touchdown for Central in the
third quarter. The teams were bat
Ting in the centre of the playing
space when Krout kicked. The ball
was fumbled and LASER pounced on
1t on the ten-yard line. Engleberger
was called upon for touchdown and
he placed the ball In back of the
posts on the first rush. Krout kicked
the goal.
Krout's eighty-yard run was re-
sponsible for the final score. In maxi
ing the longest run of the game
Krout was ably aided by Lockwood,
