relinQuiShed.
Rookie Bob Klinger held the

CALDWELL TO RETAIN CUP
FOR COMING YEAR

NJ & MS Big Reds suffered de-
feat $50 at the hands of the Cald-
we'll Redskins Friday at the latter's
home field before record crowd of
1000 fans. The victory cup,
which must be won three years in
succession before it may be retained
permanently by either team, was
placed in the hands of the victors
as result of the encounter. The
three games before this one, how
ever, were ties, and each team has
been in possession of the prize al
ternately half year at time.
Undoubtedly, over-confidence play
ed its part in wreaking the havoc
which completely upset our team,
but the greater part of the disaster
may be attributed to Caldwell's re-
covery of NJ C MS tumble on the
Big Reds six yard line, with a SUBJ
sequent touchdown. Coming so un-
expectedly and out of a clear sky,
so disheartening an incident natur-.
ally had the psychological effect of
demolishing the morale of the in
vaders, placing them on an unequal
basis in the first quarter. Then
too, NJ & MS linemen were unable
to cope with Caldwell's widely
spread defense which retarded the
application Of the Big Reds careful
ly practiced blocking assignments.
However, the vanquished more than
made up in spirit for what they
lacked in efficiency, since victory
was not conceded lost as long as
there was minute left to play.
Notwithstanding the predomi-
nant rivalry between the two towns
with regards to the prowess of the
respective athletic teams, everyone
should acknowledge the merits of
the victorious eleven and should
recognize the deserving
qualities of their fleet Mazgay,
around whom they centered their
running and passing attack, and
who was instrumental in breaking
up the working of M. & MS plays.
Despite the fact that in the two
weeks practice before the engage
ment elaborate plans were laid
which, if perfected, would have
most roughly indeed greeted the di-
Mazgay in his harmful
tactics, and although the Big Reds
motto was ssGet Mazgay" the cogni-
zance of this menace seemed to be
of no value, and Mazgay was not
"got" Hence, he was able to make
one touchdown in each Of the four
quarters, Ickes kicking extra point.
