ELEvENS OF RIVAL
LEAGUES TO MEET
Central and MOntclair Football
Teams in Big Early Season
Game Tomorrow.

One Of the big early season scho-
lastic football games Is on the caro-
for tomorrow afternoon, when the
Central High School team of the New
ark High Schools Athletic Associa-
ton and the Montclair High School
eleven of the New Jersey Interscho-
lastic Association will clash at the
City Athletic Field in Bloomfield ave-
nue.. Montclair, with practically the
same team as last year, is looming
up as a strong contender for cham
pionship honors in its organization,
while Central is also looked upon in
a favorable light in the schoolboy
league The mountain town school
team is being coached by James X.
Alverson, former Barringer and Rut-
gers College gridiron star.
Former gridiron warriors ana
coaches, who have watched the work
of the Cenral team, predict one or the
best seasons for the local players.
Coach Sargent is rather fortunate, in
that he can call on two sets of back
fields. The first, made up of Safier
at quarterback, Engleberger and Bos-
sett at halfback, with Bennett at full
back, will probably start tomorrow.
The second shift brings out Schober,
Bundy, Lockwood and Wurth, the
latter being quarterback. Lockwood,
as a fullback, may start tomorrow,
as Benefits injured thumb is not re-
covering as rapidly as expected. Ray
mond Krout and Charles Hopkins are
holding down the end positions, with
Richie in reserve. The return of Har-
old Smith, a tackle, has greatly In
creased the strength of the team.
Smith was injured not long ago, and
It was feared he was out for the
season. Arthur Boyer, who played on
the Mt Pleasant Military Academy
eleven OF Ossining, N Y, entered the
Central this fall, and was placed at
the position formerly held by smith.
Beyer's work has been so good that
Coach Sargent decided to let him re-
main on the line. Smith, however
was given a place alongside of Boyer
as a guard. NeVious and Anderson
will alternate at centre, while the
other side of the line will be taken
care of by Flockhart and Erler.
Neither the Central nor Montclair
teams have tasted defeat this season,
and the goal lines of both elevens still
remain to be crossed. Montclair dis
posed of Orange High School and
Erasmus Hall. Central downed both
the Dover and Ridgewood High
School teams.
Coach Alverson will bring a big squad
for tomorrow's game. Ward Starrett,
who played tackle position last year,
has been placed at fullback, posi-
ton which he has filled creditably IN
the two games played so far Hill
and Moora round out the backfield,
with p. Crane calling the signals.
Captain Knight is at his old place at
centre. with w. Crane and Hobert
guards, Butler and Schultz tackles
and Osborne and Francisco on the
wings. The game is scheduled to
start at $3.50 o'clock

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR. STAR
HEADPIN BOWLING TOURNAMENT
Proportion of FOb=Winners Ex-
pected to Be Greater
Than Ever.
CASH PRIZES ATTRACT
Many Star Bowlers Will Try
for the Big
Awards.

With the opening of The star head
pin bowling tournament only four
nights away, the indications are that
the competition this season is going
to be marked by much keen interest
and plenty of excellent performances.
The watchfob winners last season
were decidedly numerous. Instead of
one bowler in every twenty-five who
took part accounting for one of the
coveted trophies, as was the rule
during the early periods of the an
nual headpin tournaments conducted
by The Star, every fifteenth bowler,
last season, carried away with him
one of the fobs. There were forty
one bowlers last season who cap
tiired the gold fobs, which are award
ed to bowlers who have scores of ITO
or better. This means that the class
of pinnine is Increasing each year.
1t is expected that the proportion of
fob winners will be even greater dur
ing the coming tournament
The real classy bowlers, who get
together in teams that on paper APP
pear to be decidedly strong, are in
terested in the announcement that
The Star will again put up 800 in cash
prizes for the leading teams. The
first team Is to receive $50, the Sec
ond $25 and the third SIS. This is
"easy money" for it costs nothing to
enter The Star headpin tournament
and there is no charge for bowling
Naturally enough a lot of the best
known quintets in this section try for
the coin. In spite of this, however,
in lots of cases teams made up Of
bowers just gotten together for the
occasion have succeeded in getting
away with the big awards Bowling
at the regulation game is a consid-
erably different proposition than
Shooting headpin," and lots of bowl
ers find that out during The Star
headpin tournament.
The Belleville bowlers are going to

open the big tournament Monday
night They figure on having some
thing like twenty-five teams. The
committee of arrangements, made up
of Pete Deighan, Pete Shines and
Herman Heuster is working hard to
have everything ready, and also to
get the bowlers In line early 80 that
the pinning may commence not later
than z o'clock and continue without
any interruption until everybody has
had a chance to perform Arrange
ments have been made to have $50
people attend banquet which is to
be started right after the bowling has
been completed Mayor La Fauch-
erie. of Belleville, mas promised to be
on hand, as well as a number of
other town officials.
All the nights Of the opening week
have been booked except Wednesday
night. Several organiza tions which
have applied for special nights are
considering taking Wednesday night.
but none has come to a definite de-
termination as yet.

strenuous season. The schedule will

FOREIGN CYCLISTS
AGREE TO TERMS
Sores, paragon and Merguer to
Ride in the New York Six
Day Race.

Three famous cyclists OF Europe
cabled acceptance yesterday to
proffered contracts for their services
to ride in the New York six-day race.
They are Leon Sores, Louis Darra-
gon and Charles Merguer. Sores and
Darragon are moter-paee followers,
and Merguer Is a sprinter. They are
all Frenchmen. Manager Floyd Mac
Farland, of the Cycling Racing AS
sociation, was more than delighted
when he read the cable from these
riders stating that they had accepted
his terms. Darragon and Sores will
team, and Merguer will pair with
Franz Suter, one of the famous SuteE
brothers, who rode In New York in
1912.
Darragon has won the cham
pionship of the world twice, and
this year he won the championship of
France and was strong. favorite
for the worlds championship, which
was not run on account of the war.
Sores won the championship of Eu-
rope this year, and has been con-
tender In all the big paced classics Of
Europe for the past four years. Sores
is rated as the greatest rider in the
world on small tracks. being practi-
cally invincible on the winter track
in Paris.
Merguer is a sprinter of recent de-
velopment and is rated as one of the
most promising young riders in Eu-
rope. Last fall he showed a great
flash of speed for time, and was
placed in a number of big races. 1t
was Merguer who was responsible
for the disastrous fall in a match in
Paris which prevented Walter Rutt,
the German champion. from Compel
ing in the New York six-day race last
year. Merguer is a brother-in-law
of Leon Hourlier, the sprint cham
pion of France, and Tricky Comes,
who has been reported killed in the
war.

.BOUGHTON STARS
IN CENTRAL MEET
Somebody's Running in Mile
Event Is Feature of
Games.
POINT HONORS FOR SENIORS

Running with apparent easy stride
in the mile run, Charles Boughton,
Central High Schools premier dis
lance athlete, yesterday afternoon
captured the big honors for the sec
ond time at the track and field ath-
letic meet. the second annual affair
of its kind held at the City Athletic
Field under the auspices of the Cen
trail High School Athletic Assocla-
ton Boughtons running was easily
the feature of the afternoon. He had
to contend with difficulties, numbered
among watch was a strong wind and
a soft track Added to these were
the liberal handicaps which he al
lowed Boughton covered the mile in
4 minutes IS as seconds, which, un-
der the circumstances, was consld-
cred creditable performance.
Boughton's big rival in the race was
Charles Allen, who. although he put
up a good fight for the greater part
of the event. was forced to be con-
tent with second place, finishing some
fifty yards to the rear Allen had
fifty yards leeway at the start.
Scoring seventy-two points the SEN
Tor class carried off the point honors.
The Junior class was second with
ii flour points and the freshman
contingent third with twenty-slX
The sophomores, with twenty credits,
brought up the rear. The Wiener cup,
donated to the relay team winning
the half-mile interclasS relay handl-
cap race, was won by the junior gum
tet. composed of Angus, Bundy, 1llarla
and Esposito The seniors won the
race but were disqualified because
Jake Shaffer did some rough riding
in refusing to allow space for Fred
Muerster to come through in the last
leg of the race.
One of the big sensations of the
day came when Charles Esposito. with
two yards. was beaten out at the tape
by Fred Muenster, freshman, who
bids fair to develop into star
sprinter in the indoor meets. Muen-
ster, who was also on the two-yard
mark, Just barely beat out opposite
at the tape The decision was a close
one and many believed that a dead
heat would be doing both boys JUS
tice.
In the field events Harold Engle-
berger won the discus throw and got
second in the javelin. John Flock
hart won the shot-put Winfield An
gus ran a great race in the half mile
from scratch, defeating Walter
Greene, who had twenty-five yaTds.
Rubins performance in the 440-yard
dash was also a creditable one, the
runner from the scratch mark cut
ting down the limit men in great style
during the last part of the race and
getting second position after being
apparently out Of it at the start.
In the girls events Miss Dorothy
Straughn, a colored lass, romped
away with both the 50-yard dash and
the standing broad jump. Miss Rose
Duffy also ran a good race, finishing
a short distance behind Miss Straughn
in the dash. Miss Elsie Clemens won
the basketball throw with Miss Birxt-
ner second.
