CLINTON ELEVEN
IN A TIE GAME
WITH DICKINSON
Both TOuchdOWnS Come in the
Second PeriOd-Eisen-
berg Stars.
By A. c. CAVAGNARO.

De Witt Clinton High School opened
its football campaign yesterday by
playing a tie game at 6 to with the
Dickinson High School of Jersey City,
at Lenox Oval. The result was exceed
ingly pleasing to the Clinton adher-
ents, as the eleven has only two vet
eran players. Dickinson outplayed its
opponents throughout the greater part
of the game, but loose handling of the
ball proved costly.
Both tallies came in the second Pc
Rod. Clinton ended the first quarter
with short forward pass, Blair to
Thompson, which placed the ball on the
courtyard line. On the first play in the
subsequent period, Fred Eisenberg
went through right tackle for touch
down. Gouldowsky's try at goal was a
miserable effort. a few minutes later
ffteen-ysrd penalty against Clinton
for unnecessary piling up gave Dickln-
son a chance TO even the score. Hill
then raced around left end for five
yards and touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Box Johnson,
of Dickinson, tried a drop kick from
the 25-yard line, with the rival players
massed around him. The ball sped one
foot outside Of the uprights.

Quarterback Play.

2 Princeton, MI, Oct. THE Prince
ton eleven excelled North Carolina in
every department Of the game and held
its opponents scoreless this afternoon
while piing up total OF 20 points. All

made four touchdowns and one goal
from placement by Funk. Funk also
kicked two goals after touchdown and

yard forward pass from Eddy.
From Princeton viewpoint the play
ing of these two men was one OF the
most encouraging features of the game.
Aside from running the team in cred
liable manner, Eddy got away once for
a 45-yard run.
briggs was mainly responsible for
the first touchdown. He made 20 yards
on wide end run aid then took the

N. Y. u. FOOTBALL
SEASON STARTS
WITH A VICTORY
Rensselaer, Poly Defeated by
Score of % to 0 on
Ohio Field.

New York University opened it's
football season auspiciously yesterday
by defeating the Rensselaer, Polytech-
mic Institute team on Ohio Field by a
score of 90 to O.
Neither eleven could score in the
first quarter. Many times the Violet
men started down the field with the
ball, making several first downs in sue
cession only to be forced 70 kick into
the visitors territory. Twice during
this period Weinheimer, the Violet's
right halfback, made long runs, only to
return because Of penalty. He tried
a third time to gain through the line,
and was well on his way to touch
down when the whistle blew, ending
the quarter.
When the second period opened the
Violet started in TO work hard, and
after Mackenzie and Weinheimer had
carried the ball for repeated gains
Mackenzie tore around the upstate col
legians' right end and made the frst
touchdown. Cam failed to register the
POINT for kicking.
In the third quarter the \. Y. L.
backted scored another touchdown.
Cam kicked off far into the Red and
Gray territory. After the Trojans had
failed TO gain their first down New
York took the ball and, after making
first down on a penalty, Cam went
around the end for twenty yards. Here
Wenheimer made two yards and Mac
kenzie took the ball over on line
plunge. Cam booted the pigskin be-
tween the bars for the extra point.
The most brilliant work of the day
was done by Jake Cam. of the Violet
eleven. His sixty-yard run and long
punts gave his team the advantage at
all crucial points in the game. Egan
also was one of the shining lights with
his superb interference work. Macken-
zie, at quarter for the locals, also
played a good game.

Western Maryland College Is
Buried Under Score of
20 to 0.

The Fordham University football
team used the forward pass with tell
ing effect yesterday afternoon III de-
feating the eleven from Western Mary
land College, on Fordham Field, by a
score of 90 to o.
The play that put the leather across
the mark in each instance was an
aerial toss, and the gains that rem
dered scoring possible were generally
due to accurate hurls Of the Fordham
backs.
The game was somewhat disappoint-
ing from a Fordham standpoint. The
visitors, outweighed by ten-pound
advantage, put up such stubb de-
fence that the Fordham backs failed
by straight plunging to gain single
first down.
The visitors obtained only one first
down, and this came in the third pc
Rod after three thrusts through the
Maroon line. They never penetrated
beyond the 25-yard mark, and got near
this point only by intercepting Ma

West Point, n. Y, Oct 7.-Although
they came here trimming with conf

University eleven went home outplayed
and defeated by the strong Army team.
The score was ii to Z. The cadets
flashed complete reversal OF form as
compared with their game of week
ago against Lebanon Valley, and except
for some costly fumbles they would
probably have rolled up a larger score
against the Virginians.
Oliphant and Place in the running
attack were marvels of speed and en-
durance, and gained lot Of ground for
the. Army. Place was showed over for
the first score in the initial period after
Olphant and himself had carried the
hall from their own 40-yard line to the

with the forward pass, although they
were unable 70 gain an inch through

Asbury High School in its opening
football game of the season at Ash
