StuyveSant Finally
Beats De Witt Boys
SchuCk Rolls Up 10
Points of Lopsided
Score of 43 to 0
By 4. c. CAvAGNAR0

Students OF Stuyvesant High School
are now convinced that there is a turn
in the so-called long road. After max
ing history for De Witt Clinton High
School during their many years Of foot
ball contests, Stuyvesant turned tiger
like on its rival. winning the annual
contest at the Polo Grounds yesterday
by the decisive score Of 43 70 0.
The victory was the first one ever
recorded over the Clinton eleven, and
the second in which Stuyvesant sue
ceeded in scoring. 1t was no wonder,
then. that the several thousand stu
dents went mad with enthusiasm. A
snake dance at the end of the contest
was headed by the white poodle mascot,
which seemed TO realize the importance
Of the occasion.
Deceptive open plays by Stuyvessnt
and It's wide-awake policy AZ all times
70 grasp every opportunity that pre-
scented itself proved the main factors
in the Clinton rout. The Red-snd-Black
players fumbled atrociously, and these
spasms OF loose handling OF the Dali
were turned into Stuyvesant scores
StuyveSant scored in every quarter ex-
cept the second, making the fourth
real holiday by the tallying OF three
touchdowns, a placement goal and two
goals from touchdown.
While favorite, Stuyvesant was not
expected TO win in such an easy man
throughout, and only spectacular de-
fensive work on the part of Walter
Hoving, the captain, Jameson and Fred
die Elsenberg prevented Stuyvessnt
from scoring more touehdowns.
Halfback Schuck Stars
While considerable praise is due the
Stuyvesant boys for their splendid
playing, the floral wreath for individ-
ual brilliancy rewarded Schuek, the
halfback. This youth proved STUN,
bling block 10 the Clinton line and
smashed il apart with apparently little
effort for substantial gains. Jack Sin
clair, the fullback, and Hoesly, the
other halfback, also played splendidly,
especially when on the offensive.
Schuck gave as pretty an exhibition
of punting as ever seen among school
bow teams when he kicked three goals
from placement, all beyond the 30
yard line. lie tried three others, but
failed. Schuek also scored touch
down and four goals from touchdown,
piling up an individual total OF 10
points for the afternoon. Schuck had
to oppose both Freddie Eisenberg and
Jameson, Of Clinton, in the punting
duels, and the Stuyvesant youth gen.
orally had the better of the exchange.
Stuyvesant bewildered its opponents
with several delayed passes and trick
formations, and as rule gained much
ground. II also had the stronger line.
The Clinton attackers found trouble in
breaking through for gains. Especially
in furnishing interference for the run
ner with the ball did Stuyyesant sur
pass its opponents. There was always
one or more players to bowl over
rival when about to make q tackle.
This important team work was decided
ly lacking on Clinton's side. Stuyve-
SAINT frequently braved the risk Of util-
izing the forward passes with good re-
suits, while Clinton only attempted
this aerial attack in the last quarter
and then with little success.
Late in the opening period Stuyve--
SAINT recovered the ball in midfeld and
