With a list which would rival that of
q first class hospital, the Haddon
Heights High School has decided for
the present season to discontinue foot
ball, and the annual clash with Had
donfeld High School, originally sched-
uled for today has been cancelled. Di-
rector Of Athletics Robert l.. johnson
stated that soon the athletes would turn
their attention to basketball.
The jinx has been with the Haddon
Heights team this season. The Burling-
ton game marked the end Of a string Of
injuries which shattered the eleven.
The material was not sufficient to re-
place the boys on the side lines, and
there was nothing to do but disband.
Clutches, bandaged arms and legs, bat
tered in various ways, the Haddon
Heights warriors have been hobbling
around the school.
Edgar Fallin Is on crutches. He
played center and sustained severe
wrench to his ankle. His brother
Howard Fallin. was also hurt, and the
Fallin household did not favor n con-
tinuance Of football on the part Of
these two boys. Consequently. exit the
Fallins. Ray Fallin, the end. came
under the parental ban. Joe Steven
son, the fullback, had his right leg
broken. But that was not all, as the
record shows.
Charles Sharman, right halfback,
bad his right arm broken last year, and
this season injured the same arm, frac-
turing the bone. John Lowe, left half
back, sustained broken nose and prob
able conclusion of the brain. Other
wise the Haddon Heights team is in fine
shape.
St. Joseph's Props Win Game
Wenonah Military Institute was no
match for the strong st. Joseph's Pre-
Aratory School eleven of the Catholic
Schools League. st. Joe trounced the
y New Jersey cadets by score of IL to
.. The game was played in spite of the
fact that Wenonah would much rather
have cancelled and saved themselves
from this defeat.
1t happened that Wenonah attempted
TO cancel the game two days ago. Di-
rector of Athletics Cerutti explained
that 1t would be impossible to cancel on
tell the boys that it would not bt
played. He stated that if Wenonah
cancelled the game on such short notice
It would be necessary to sever athletic
relations with the New Jersey cadet,
and that the basketball game would also
have to be cancelled.
As result Wenonah played and
went down to an overwhelming defeat
which was the only sportsmanlike thing
to do, no matter what the conditions
were at the Jersey school. Games can
not be cancelled at will and on twenty
four or forty eight hours notice il
these days of popular football and st.
Joe took the right stand in demanding
that the game be played.
Northeast Wins Big Game
Northeast High, true to tradition
came through with flying colors in the
Gimbel Cup game with Germantown
High. The score was II to 0. North
east has earned the reputation of always
finishing strong. The season is now
nearing an end. and though the Lehigt
avenue boys are too late in their rally
to figure in the championship, they are
coming through in fine shape.
Northeast used a variety of plays
Slemmer made the first touchdown or
a forward pass from Shane, going AZ
yards. 1t all happened in the seconc
period. Fisch fell on the pigskin
which rolled over the goal line on q
tumble. This gave Northeast TIVE
touchdowns. Northeast has now VOL
two games and lost one, with a tota
of five points.
