Clifside High Wins

The members of the local high
school football team followed by the
faculty, students and ardent fans,
altogether a delegation of nearly
200, travelled on Columbus Day to
West Side Park, Jersey City, to wit
ness the football game between Cliff
side and Lincoln High of that place.
AS the writer of this article was
vested with special authority and had
the right of position within the field,
he was able to scrutinize each play
of the day. Consequently, he is
prone to offer an account of the game.
At 3.15 Lincoln kicked to Cliffside.
After the execution of series of
plays particularly attractive by the
smoothness of Goemann in giving
signals and the dashes and gains of
Cadien, the ball was rushed to the Is
yard line. At this period of play
Cadien was injured and forced to re-
tire. On the third down our boys
failed to gain and the ball was tech
nically awarded to Lincoln on their
Is yard line. A chance was now
given to Cliffside to test the offensive
strength of their opponents. And
they did too.
r. Grant in neat tackling prevent
ed Lincoln from getting their coveted
first down. The right to the ball was
then rendered the Representatives
from Bergen County on the oppo-
nents 27 yard line. At this stage of
play, Lincoln frightened and forced
our boys to employ different gen.
eralship.
Goemann, the nemesis of Brickley
standing % yards from the goal sig
nailed for the ball. Scullion passed
the ball mastery and Goemann, cool
as mint julep, attempted and ex-
ecuted a drop kick from the field
Score Cliffside 3, Lincoln 0.
At this time the Cliffside contin-
gent, minced here and there with the
1000 people in attendance, checked
the atmosphere with cheers. In the
tumult and excitement that prevailed
one of the members of the faculty
lost his auxiliary support, stick in
form of cane. But that is another
story.
In the next three quarters neither
side scored. During the game, how
ever, Rollins, whose work featured in
the game of Hasbrouk Heights, again
showed his speed and strength when
he plowed through Lincoln's line for
long gains. The tackling of this boy
from Woodcliff was unique in clever
ness. Lincoln feared him.
Fumbling of the ball and the all
around work of Dipple and Barber
prevented our boys from increasing
the score.
Ottell was towr of strength in
tackling. Both he and Velsey dis
tinguished themselves creditably by
playing a stubborn but clean game.
Griffin and F. Grant played their end
we'll and were wide awake every
moment. Prout and Damis assisted
materially in resisting the onslaught
