Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1915-12-04

Picking an All-Star team. the aft
ermath of the high school season on
the gridiron, is a rather difficult task
this year. There appeared to be plenty
OF backfield material, but there was
an absence of guards and tackles
and the center proposition is not
easy by any means. Forward passes
played prominent part In many vic
tories scored this season and a player
used on the fianks was kept in ac-
ton at all times. There were not a
few ends among the high school
teams Of the State, but Rutherford
and East Orange seemed to have the
call in this department.
Fine Pair of Ends.
Bill Francke, of East Orange. has
the place at end along with Albert
Lewis, of Rutherford. If there were
ever two players in high school ranks
playing an equally aggressive game
on both the offense and defense 1t
was Francke and Lewis. Francke's
main asset is his ability to pull down
forward passes and his sure tackling.
He has been a star all season on the
TANKS and several college men who
have seen him perform have loudly
played against the High School of
Commerce this season New York
scribes were quick to catch his per-
formances and paragraphs were fire.
quent in telling of his brilliant work.
Lewis appears to be about the most
cool-headed player on the outer flank.
He goes about his work in a matter
of-fact way, is a fast man in getting
down the field and seldom If ever has
been caught asleep at the switch.
Stew" Terrell, who was a member
of the Rahway High School team
which won the high school champion
ship last year, is another end who
did fine work this season. Asbury
Park had it's Andy Vola. Both Vola
and Terrell are rather small, but they
appear to have a great future before
them on the gridiron. Terrell is but
youngster and Vola has only
reached his second year in high
school. vola is more of defensive
player. He has the fight in him and
his aggressiveness alone has helped
Asbury Park climb to g. half share
In the top rung for the State high
school title.
Brown Excellent Tackle.
One of Asbury Parks strongholds
this season was at the tackle position,
where Frank Brown covered the ter
ritory in big league style. Brown
was injured playing against Atlantic
City, but up to that time his work
stood out prominently. Recently he
got back in the game and 1t was Just
the same Frank Brown over again.
Few tackles have been seen at AS
bury Park who have figured in a class
with the player in question. Brown
is on the team at tackle along with
Ketterer, of Trenton High School.
Ketterer without doubt was one OF
the best linemen who has been on a
Trenton forward line in years. He
was a hard worker all around. May
nard, of East Orange. went through
a hard campaign and held up his side
of the line with the best OF them.
Dan Ecker, of Barringer, did well
all season and shows promise or be-
| ing in line for further honors next
season. He is probably one OF the
best formed schoolboy football play
ers that has ever graced a gridiron.
