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

High School, has remarked that
Noble is one of the best offensive and
defensive players that he has ever
seen in action in the schoolboy ranks.
Other coaches have expressed their
opinion on his work and all practical
y agree that he was the class of the
season. Broadhead was fortunate
this year in having a most capable
pair of guards. DeHart was young
ster worthy of mention. He proved to
be fine defensive player. often being
seen to repulse an attack aimed in his
direction. Phillipsburg had its Tall
man who filled in well at center as
well as guard. Nucomber, of Ruth
erford, did some fine work during the
season.
The center position is given to
Black, of Rutherford, who last year
was considered by many for all
scholastic teams. Dunham, of New
Brunswick, worked well at the pivot
station, and Corish, of Barringer, was
at his best earlier in the season.
Curtin, of Barringer was looked upon
by many as being in a class by him
self at the center station.
HummeI Gets In Bachfield.
A backfield composed of Wallace. of
Rutherford; Anderson. of Dickinson
High School: Whitehill, of Ruther-
ford. and Hummel, of Barringer,
would certainly make things inter-
esting for any big prep school eleven.
Anderson was the one big star in the
Dickinson High School backfield. AS
an open field runner he could not be
beaten. Jersey City citizens will tell
you that he was a wonder with a
football tucked under his arm, and
there is little doubt but what he has
lived up to all the good things that
have been said of him. Most of Dick
inson Highs gains have come through
Anderson's ability. Hummel played
end on Barringer but he worked in
such great style that it would be tort
of an injustice to keep him on the
team. He was not very good against
East Orange in the first half of the
game, but he WAS protecting one of
his tacklsrs, 1t was afterwards
learned, and his reason for missing
Bloss of East Orange was explained
satisfactorily by the players. Hummel
Is probably one of the best defensive
players developed in this city. AS a
secondary defense man he has proven
his ability on more than one occasion.
He is a football man in every sense
of the word and his selection for
honors this season is believed to be
justified.
Wallace, of Rutherford. goes in for
quarter with probably more honors
attached than has been awarded a
player in recent years. He was a
field general who could keep his head
in the pinches, and his direction of
plays was said by many who have
watched him, to be almost perfecr
He could throw the forward pass
well and most of Rutherford's success
on the gridiron this season was due
to his efforts. He has battery made
in Jack Whitehill, also a fast and
heavy man, who was hard bringing
down. WI itehill was an all-State
man last year and this year he lost
none OF his old-time pep" He
ploughed through his opponents for
gain after gain and was particularly
valuable when a fourth down was
needed. Wallace and Whitehill prob
ably worked more successful forward
passes this year than did any quarter
and halfback in schoolboy circles.
Nolan did fine work as a quarterback
on the Phillipsburg High School team.
| His punting proved valuable, but he
was not quite as good as Wallace, in
! the opinion of those who saw both
boys perform. Pear, of Asbury Park,
was a halfback of note. and Durand,
of Railway, comes in for considera-
tion along with Gephart. OF Phillips
burg.
