WEST NoTTfNGHAf--N Il W ARK
HIGH GAME

Last Saturday at Newark, as
prelude to the Delaware-DickensOn
game, many saw West Nottingham
! Academy suffer 1870 defeat at the
hands of deceptive and aerial
minded Newark High School eleven.
The first quarter opened with the
Nottingham aggregation receiving.
BY lateral combined with a reverse
from Bounds to Moffett, the ball was
advanced to the Academy's As yard
line. The Maroon lost the ball on
DEMONSTRATING been thwarted in a
series of off-tackle plays by both
sible for the greater part of the New
ark defense work. Nottingham then
kicked to their opponents rs yd.
stripe. After two unsuccessful pow
er plays the Blue and Gold had their
kick blocked by the Maroon's right
tackle, G. Cameron. The invaders
lost the ball by the interception of
one of their aerial heaves.
The high school boys started a
drive down the field by combina-
ton of reverses and spinners. When
the Nottingham 40 I'd. line was
reached, the march was stopped.
Bounds, Nottingham triple threat,
then booted the pigskin against a
head wind to his opponents 2 yd.
marker. In the closing seconds of
this initial frame, Maxwell stepped
back and whipped long and un-
erring toss to Leverage, Newark's
half back, for score.
The second period was opened by
the booking of Newark kick on the
part of Capt. Walter Cameron, but
was recovered by his opponents on
the mid-ield marker. Two plays
later, Balderston, the Maroon pivot
man, smeared a lateral and gained
possession of the ball. Having lost
much ground, Bounds was again
forced to kick on his own 40 yd.
marker. Sixty yards The ball travelled
after several line PUN, es in the vi
cinity of their twen,y yard line,
Newark decided to kick.
A nip and tuok ,-.-..ir followed
with an exchange OF pu...s--le re-
suit being that Newark Lar il. their
enemies territory, snapped short
pass over the line-then a smart
lateral to Leverage who was skirting
his left flank from a wing back po-
sition-a scamper of some 20 yards
and the second and last score of
the game was completed, (both trials
for extra points having failed). The
period ended with Respess intercept
ing pass for the Hannemen.
The second half saw Newark re-
ceiving the kickoff on her 35 I'd.
line. Several plays off-tackle netted
first down. Deciding to take TO
the air again, Newark lost the ball
on another interrogation by Balders-
ton. Bounds ripped IL yards off
guard-two more fruitless scrim-
images and Newark took the ball
Featuring Maxwell, the locals put tho
pigskin on Nottingham's yd. line.
A pass going far into the end zone
unaccompanied was given to the Ma
room on her twenty.
With this situation the field was
switched due TO the opening of the
final period. Bounds was hurried to
his efforts and got the ball only to
his 40 marker on an angle kick.
w. Cameron, and Statesmen, at his
wing birth, now settled down to
fine brand of defensive work-being
almost soley responsible for their
teim's tackles.
Finally the ball was short lived due
to interception. Another march was
started, but again Newark was
forced to kick Bounds gained the
pigskin and toted it for some IA odd
yards-being brought to bay by
DAILY. Four short passes from
Bounds to Pennington, three of
which were successful, over the line
put w. N. A. in scoring position.
Next we saw a fiat throw going out
over the left end only to be inter-
cepted by Tiffany who was thrown
by SALESMAN and Carroll-thus the
battle ended with Newark retaining
her laurels of mo defeats.
Coach Hanna although dropping
the game was much gratifed by the
work of his forward wall. The
backfield seems to have many loop
holes due to the loss of both Mont
gomery and Wesley, two main cogs
in the Maroon machine. But with
his poney backs, Hanna expects to
give the Jacob Tome Institute of
Port Deposit real battle ON his
