pigskinners were of an unusually
heavy class, having been the lead
ing contender for the state cham
pionship for three years. the local

Fear of defeat for the high school
team rests in the fact that the Nep-
tune gridders have won their first
five games and have only allowed
seven points to be scored against
their 1871 to date. Neptune also
holds a high hand for the state
title this year.
Coach Glass expects to use his
