(High School Correspondent
After a lapse of seven years var
sity football will once more hold
forth as one of Perth Amboy high
schools major sports. The decision
to have a varsity football team was
reached last year by the faculty
after a successful series of class
games in which the seniors tri-
umphed.
While a good football team Is
hard to turn out, Coach Waddell Is
confident of his ability to produce
a winner. The students are enthu-
siastic over the plans of the coach
and promise their utmost support.
The ability of Coach Waddell to
produce results is unquestioned as
he was a crack player in his college
days. He played quarterback IN the
Temple University eleven where he
gained a great reputation as an all
around athlete.
Challenges are being sent out by
Manager Jasper Johnson to the va
rious schools of the state. Several
high class opponents will be on the
local schedule. Although teams with
championship aspirations are too
strong for the Crimson and White
representatives, games will be ar
ranged with teams in the calibre of
Nutley, Harrison, New Brunswick
and Bound Brook.
Outdoor practice will begin Mon
day. Coach Waddell has announced.
Preliminary practice, consisting of
blackboard illustrations and lee
lures, will be held Thursday and
Friday in n of the high school

MIA football squad which
Coach John w. Heisman will take
to Noun. Gretna for three weeks

Captain j. K. Miller, haltback;
Carl Ertresvaag, end; John Thur

delphia. and the fact that Sweeney
fought him a fast six-round bout is
enough to show the class of ORA
Sotta's fyweight.
Coiletti, who is managed by Ed
Mooney" Poulsen of this city, is
also training hard in anticipation of
a real fight. Colletti. in his few
fights in this vicinity, has shown a
willingness to give the fans the best
that is in him. He fights from the
initial bell and this accounts for his
numerous early knockouts.
There are many fans in this sec
tion who would like to see Coiletti
stopped or badly beaten, and In the
engagement with Sweeney or i've
coming bout with frankie Murray
Of Philadelphia, their wish may be
granted. Colletti and Murray will
fight in this city at the Police Mu-
tual Aid Society show, october 10.
Other Engagements
In addition to the eight-round star
bout, there will be a six-round event
featuring Carl Morris of Roosevelt,
and Young Egmore of this city.
Morris and Egmore both carry a
knockout punch. There will also
be three ~four-round bouts.
Last Friday night the first show
of the Roosevelt club was held and
the auditorium was packed to the
doors.
