On Friday, Octobr 5, Coach John
Dye Works Field against Glassboro
High School, eleven noble warriors
of the gridiron. Tried and true were
they, for their line from end to end
formed a stone wall through which
Glassboro was only able to push
once in the first half and three times
in the last half for first downs.
Due credit belongs to those boys
who furnished so good an opening to
the crowd of schoolmates, home folks,
and out of town visitors, for Glass
boro formed one of Penns Groves
strongest South Jersey opponents and
by trimming the team that every year
is so strong they assure themselves of
a successful season. 1t is the opinion
of many that Glassboro did not show
up as we'll as school of its class
should, especially for school having
nine varsity men of last year.
Coach Summerill's team was in the
game from the kickoff till time was
called at the end of the last half and
they fought for all they were worth.
To those football fans we give a
short account of the game with its
many features of brainy playing and
it is the sincere hope of the team that
they will secure twice the support this
Friday that they had last week and
lust as good a game is assured when
they meet Woodstown at home today
Penns Grove kicked off to Glass
boro, but here as during all the
game, the home boys held them,
forcing them to punt. Price received
the punt, making Is yards, follow
ed by line plunging by Bouvler and
Price, that brought the pig-skin for
a first down. On the next two plays
Remsburg was worked for yard
and a 2 yard plunge. This narrow
ed the distance from the goal and
Price carried the ball over for
touchdown on a short end run. Then
the High School students on the side
lines came to their feet with yells
which throughout the game gave the
spectators great entertainment ano
also showed that the old High School
has some school spirit left.
After the touchdown Willis put his
toe to the ball and lifted it IN pretty
arc that scared straight and true be-
tween the goal posts. ,
When they had secured this lead
the boys realizing Glassboro could not
pierce their line engaged in a kicking
game which lasted the remainder OF
the first half.
The second half opened by Glass
boro kicking to Penns Grove, who
fumbled the ball and Glassboro reeov-
cred. They then worked it for the

The High School still kept up their
tactics of kicking and keeping. the
ball in the enemies territory. Glass
boro then got the kicking fever and
for four consecutive plays it was
kicked back and forth. In this Willis
was the stellar light, making long
punts, while Glassboro's punter, Black,
failed to cover much territory with
his kicks.
Then Penns Grove, after having had
several forwards, worked on them, de
cided to try the same thing and work
ed a pretty forward from Price to
Remsburg for 20 yards. Then came
ends runs for a first down followed by
plunges by Remsburg in which he
carried the ball across the line for the
second touchdown of the game, but
this time Willis failed to kick the goal;
Immediately after Penns Grove had
kicked to Glassboro they tried what
they called trunk formation, which
proved an absolute failure, for the two
Glassboro halfbacks each thought the
ether was going to receive the ball
and consequently the ball went be
tween them, rolled about ten wards
from Penns Groves goal where Willis
recovered it. Bouvier was then work
ed for line plunge after which Rems-
burg carried the ball across for the
third touchdown. Willis duplicated
his first kick and made the score 2O-O.
