TRENTON HIGH EASY VICTIM


Railway High Schools eleven made
another advance towards taking the
State high school football champion
ship, when it disposed of Trenton
High School at Railway Saturday by
a. score of 33 to 0. Dickinson High
School, of Jersey City appears to be
about the only team left for Railway
to dispose of in order to put in full
claim for the title. Dickinson, which
was overwhelmed by the East Or
ange High School team not long ago,
is feared mostly by the Railway play
ers. as the Jersey City eleven, Judging
from the games played in years past,
have proven most worthy opponents,
The Railway and Dickinson teams are
scheduled to come together Saturday
at Railway.
In Saturdays game Trenton's eleven
never had a chance. The capital city
team of last year was missing, eight
of the star players who made things
interesting some years ago being
either graduated or out of the game
on account of injuries. The ARM
strong boys. Arthur and Elmer. and
Alfred Brooks played great ball for
the winners, while the work of Cap
tain Fay Rossell and Mantle also
stood out well. Only once did Tren-
ton appear dangerous and that was
in the second quarter, when Barrlck
broke away for a 50-yard run and was
downed on Railways 1O-yard marx
by Elmer Armstrong. Barrick later
was thrown for a 10-yard loss ano
the ball went to Railway. Captain
Haclatt, Mealey and Storer were out
of the game for Trenton, being on the
injured list. These three players are
probably the best on the Trenton
team and their absence was felt.
BOughton Barred from Run.
Schoolboy athletics will probably
be stirred up this week as result
of the officials at Columbia Univer-
sity refusing to allow Charles Boush-
ton, Central High Schools National
two-mile scholastic champion, taking
part in the annual cross-country run
Saturday. Boughton was on hand to
run, but complaint, said to have
been registered with Gustavus Kirby
by Harry Coates, who is looking after
the interests of the Bloomfield School
team, caused the local boy to re-
frain from taking part. 1t was on the
fact that Boughton worked on the
playground during the summer
months, and is alleged to have beefla
an instructor, that the complaint was
made.
Without Boughton, its leading run
ner. Central High School lost what
ever chance it had of taking first
place The event was won by the
Morris High School barriers of New
York, who finished with a total of 80
points Richmond Hill was second
with III points, Dewitt Clinton third
with ia points, Mercersberg fourth
with 1873 points, and Central High
School fifth with PA points. ErasmusA
runners were sixth, Schenectady sew
enth. Commercial High School eighth.
High School of Commerce ninth and
Stuyvesant tenth. There was con-
siderable confusion at the tape, some
of the runners having lost their num-
bers and some having failed to get
checked
Alvin Robertson, of Evander Childs
High School, won the race in Il min
utes and 20 seconds. He was followed
by A. w. Schunk, of Mercersberg, thu
latter being two seconds behind. Ed
die Garlock, of Bloomfield High
School, finished twelfth, and Charles
Allen, of the same school. breezed
in fourteenth. Charles Schneider.
Barringer's star harrer was caught
with a runners stitch early in ths
race. Flynn was the first East Or
ange runner to cross the line, being
placed twenty-fifth.
Easy victory for South Orange.
Playing at Summit Saturday, the
South Orange High School team de-
feated the Summit High School
eleven by a score of rs to 6. The
Summit team only scored in the last
quarter, when Captain William Kirk
removed his first string players in
order to allow some of the substitutes
