aspect of being settled down. 1t is
now running like a well oiled machine. :
The Cliffside High football team
will have two incentives to make
them fight when they tackle Engle-
new field on October g. The first is
that Cliffside will endeavor to make
it four consecutive years that Engle-
wood has failed to cross our line. In
the last three years the scores have
been Go, $40, $50, the last two
scores being made on Englewood's
gridiron. The second incentive is that
in all probability "Penuts" Sutler of
Grantwood, former Cliffside High and
Dickinson High star athlete, will be
one of Englewoods varsity half
backs. This sort of riles the local
lads, so they are all het up and set
for the game already.
