to register score. The game. re-
piete with sensational long runs on
the part of George Hill, the Montclair
halfback, and successful forward
passes worked by both elevens, drew
one of the largest crowds of school
boys and girls seen at the City Ath-
letic Field this season.
Barringer had the edge on its oppon-
ents from the mountainside but it
was a slight one. In the first half and
in the last quarter Barringer slightly
outplayed Montclair. In the third Pc

tional runs of its dusky halfback,
George Hill had Barringer playing on
the defensive throughout. Twice did

Fosters Fine Tackle.
a sensational tackle by Perry Fos-
ter. Barringer High Schools quarter
back, who downed George Hill after
thirty eight-yard run to the Newark
teams fifteen yard mark, probably
saved the day for Barringer. The
play came in the third quarter, when
Montclair was hammering Barringer's
line for repeated gains. To start
with, after the kickoff, George Hill

clear field before him. Coming dag
onally across the field was Perry Fos-
ter. who intercepted the runner as he
was heading for the goal line. Foster
made g good tackle, upsetting his
man on the fifteen-yard mark. Had
Foster missed his man, Barringer
would have probably suffered a de-
feat. as there was not another New
ark boy within ten yards of the run
ner when the tackle was made.
Drop Kick Fails.
Failing to get by the stubborn de-
tense put up by the locals, Walcott
Crane dropped back for a drop kick,
but the ball barely went higher than
the shoulders of the players. This
was the nearest that Montclair came
to scoring Barringer was given the
ball on the twenty-yard line, and
Halstead kicked. Montclair ran the
pigskin back to the middle OF the
field and George Hill made two first
downs. A forward pass by Mont
clair failed. Starrett holding the bail

twenty yard line and Walcotu

Crane made good with his drop kick.
The ball was just about three inches

chances faded.
Montciair on Defensive.
In the first half Barringer had
A[ontclair on the defensive through
out. Halstead, Mausert, Dempsey
and Noble were playing the game
hard, and Barringer had chances
galore of rolling up a few points.
The nearest Barringer came to scor-
ing was in the first period, when the
ball was on Montclair's twentyyard
line. Halstead tried three placement
kicks, but neither one was success
full In the second quarter, Robert
Dempsey dropped back and tried two
drop kicks from the twenty-five and
thirty-yard lines, but both of these
failed.
Montclairs main trouble seemed to
be in failing to hold the puzzlins
spirals kicked by Charles Halstead.
Time and again the backtleld MEM
bers of the visiting team dropped the
bah and lost many yards. Walcott
Crane outkicked Halstead, when II
came to distance. but the BarrinSer
players had little difficulty in hand
ling his punts Charles mick Hum
nell again proved his worth as an
end on the Barringer team. His
playing stood out above the others
and he was right in the midst OF the

Charles Schneider got off fifteen
ward run for Barringer in the first
half and drew applause from the
stands.
