The occasion will mark an epoch in the history of the gridiron sport in this borough, for besides opening the stadium for football, it will be the lirst time that two important contests have been decided on the same field in one afternoon. The games promise to be the hardest fought ever played between the rival pigskin chasers.

The four teams have been showing a fine article of football of late and the players are primed for the games of their lives. The contest between Boys High and Poly Prep, which up to a week ago looked to bo an easy one for the latter school, has taken on an entirely different aspect rati the Livingston Street students will have to show their best form to down the Hod and Black lads. Last Tuesday Boys High held DeWitt Clinton, considered to havo one oE the strongest teams in the Creater City, to a 6 to 0 score, and as Coach Julie nas assisted during the past week by a number of former Ked aud Black stars, the team should do even better thun it did against the Manhattanites. Several new faces will be seen in the Boys High lineup, including Bancroft, the giant tackle, who has been below lu his studies, and Clark, a promising fullback. Poly and Boys High are very evenly matched In weight, less than half a pound to a player separating the two rivals.

There is very little to choose between the two lines, but the Livingston Street school appears to have the stronger backfield. Poly Rooters Depend on Du Tremblay The Blue and Gray rooters depend upon Captain F. X. du Tremblay, the all scholastic quarterback, to turn the tide in favor of his team. The speedy Poly leader is undoubtedly one ot the best players ever developed in this borough and his well-known kicking ability, coupled with his skill In running back punts, will go a long way toward deciding tiie struggle, if Poly gets within the 30-yard mark, du Tremblay i3 very likely to lift a drop-kick over the crossbar.

The reappearance of Jimmy Meenan will give added strength to the Poly backfield. In Harry Wollenwcbber, Coach Julie thinks that he has the find of the season. In the DeWitt contest he played sensationally and is expected to prove a very consistent ground-gainer on Tuesday. On form Poly should win because of its powerful attack, but Coach "Bill" Slo-grist hit the nail on the head yesterday, when he said: "I look for a hard, close game, in which luck will play a very prominent part and will be well-satis- fled to win by one touchdown." Last year Poly won J3 to 5. Manual aud Erasmus also appear to be very evenly matched, but at the present time the latter team looks to be in slightly better shape than the Seventh avenue eleven.

Coach Gorsch certainly has turned out a fast aggregation at the Flatbush school and the Buff and Blue lads are out to have revenge for the 25 to 0 victory administered by Manual last year. Erasmus has the best backfield in the greater city, and it is because of its strength In this department that the Flatbush team will enter the contest tho favorite. With the possible exception of Captain du Tremblay of Poly Prep "Jimmy Olson, the Erasmus quarterback, is the most brilliant performer on the scholastic gridiron, and he has three strong running mates In Captain "Ty" Hnlsted, Tuttle and "Mush" Marshall. Erasmus Is Favorite Over Manual. The decisive victory Erasmus scored over Commercial has made the Buff and Blue enthusiasts more confident.

Coach (iorsch's charges will have an advantage of eleven pounds to a player in weight, but the Manual lads are not worrying and fiKure that "Ossie" Parlsette's trusty toe and a number of new trick plays that Coach Larson has imported from the West, will turn the tido in their favor. As already announced In The Eagle, the Poly-Boys High game is scheduled to start at 1:45. sharp, and after two quarters are finished Erasmus and Manual will take the gridiron for a half. After this Poly and Boys high will finish their tussle and then Manual, and Aras-iii us will wind up the proceedings. "Dave" Fultz and "Al" farrier, will be the officials to the two contests.

One of the many features of the games promises to be the new score board, which will Bhow every play, and as all the players will be numbered it will be possible to tell which player carries the ball or makes a spectacular play. There will also be a souvenir programme containing the pictures of the four teams. The gridiron has been laid out along the third base line and each school has been Allotted a section In the grandstand, cov- MM BP Flatbush Students Have Little Trouble in Rolling Up 28 to 0 Score. OLSON'S WORK A FEATURE. Buff and Blue Halfback Gives Clever Exhibition Willoughby Avenue Lads Show Improvement.

Displaying a powerful attack and a defense which smothered tho assaults of their opponents, the Erasmus High School footballers defeated St. John's Prep at Hawthorne Field yesterday by a score of 26 to 0. The victors presented an offense which wrought havoc with the defenders of the Ited aud White. Coach Gorsch of Erasmus entered several substitutes in the fray, but from the outset It was evident that the Willoughby avenue warriors were no match for the speedier Buff aud Blue squad. In the third period the Prep lads pleasantly surprised even their most ardent admirers by tho manner in which they tore at the Erasmus line.

Herculean work on the part of Collins and Brady was chiefly responsible for the advance. But when the danger zone was reached the vanquished eleven lacked the necessary punch and Erasmus took the ball on downs. Tho work of St. John's at this stage of the contest was the best they havo shown this season and It goes without saying that under the mentor-ship of Coach Burchlll the losers have Improved greatly since their last game. Kenny, Brady and Collins did yoeman work for St.

John's, while Olson, Gulick, Webb and Marshall were the stars of the Buff and Blue aggregation. In the opening period Erasmus ran rough-shod over the Prep team, and in seven rushes placed the ball behind the goal posts, Webb, tho former Boys High piayer, making the touchdown and then kicking the goal. The second touchdown 'was scored late In the same period, when rutue snot through tackle for a two- yard gain after the conquerors had smashed their way down the field by means 01 straight football No Scores in Second or Third Periods. The second and third periods were scoreless and were marked by the unex pected good work of the Red and White warriors. However, In the final session Olson sped around left end, and evading no less tnan tour would-be tacklers, added another score to the Erasmus total.

Fumbling at critical moments played a prominent part in the amassing of the one-siueu score. The vanquished warriors experienced difficulty in retaining the elusive1 pigakln and on more than one occasion their advance was cheeked by careless work on the part of the backfleld. Captain Collins of the Prep team sustained a sprained ankle' in the final po-riod and retired from the fray. Previous to the time of his Injury the leader of the Willoughby avenue squad was a thora in the side of the Erasmlans. Time and again the husky fullback penetrated the Buff and Blue defense for substantial gains and it invariably required the services of the Flatbush school's secondary defense to bring him down.

The real star of the afternoon was Jimmy Olson, who displayed an almost uncanny ability to elude the opposing tacklers. The I Erasmus field general accounted for two touchdowns, The lineup: Kranmus (26). Position. St. John's (0) ilullc-k Irfft end IT.

Stafford, Yaio. Crown Heights Eleven Captures Close Game From Plucky Maroon Players. FINAL SCORE IS 6 TO 0. Blue and White Lads Show Strongly in All Departments. "Rex" Deghuee Stars.

Up Brooklyn Prep's speedly little eleven kept up its good work by downing the pigskin chasers of Bay Ridge High School at West End Oval yesterday by a score of 6 to 0. Both teams put up a fine article of football and the game was brilliantly played In spots, but was marred in the final half by frequent delays due to the spectators crowding on the field and by rough playing in which tbe losing team was the aggressor. Although outweighed eleven pounds to the man the Crown Heights lads outplayed their opponents In every department of the game except in forward Passing. Coach Kearney's charges made most of their gains by using this play and successfully handled it on six occasions. Brooklyn Prep presented a powerful attack, which went through the Maroot.

line for large gains almost at will. The Crown Heights relied entirely on straight football and attempted only one forward pass during the enire proceedings. Bay Kidge, however, could do nothing on line-plunging and resorted entirely to trick plays In the last half. "Rex" Deghull, the husky fullback of the winning aggregation, was the star of tho contest. He put up tho strongest ilne-plunglng game seen on a scholastic gridiron this season and was responsible for two-thirds of tho gains made by his team.

"Eddie" Grace, tho Crown Heights captain, was forced to retire early in the strugRle owing to an in-lured knee, but Etisel, who succeeded him, proved to be an excellent substitute, and next to Deghull did the best work for tho winners. "Jack" Bright carried off all the honors from a Bay Ridge standpoint. He led the attack of the team and excelled on the defense. "Tom" Grace and Diamond also stood out prominently. Steele, the Maroon halfback, received an injury to his leg in the final quarter and was forced to retire.

The only score of the game came in the first period. H. Karlson kicked off for Bay Ridge to Deghull, who returned the ball 12 yards. The Crown Heighters then started a steady onslaught on the Maroon line and carried tho ball the en tire length of tho Held on straight foot ball. Deghull gained 47 yards or tne ais-tance and also made the touchdown jn a 4-yard plunge through center.

The Brooklyn Prep fullback failed to kick goal from a difficult angle. Brooklyn Prep rushed the ball to their opponent's line In tho second period, but Bay Ridge held and Deghull tried for a goal from placement, but the pass went over his head and tho home eleven received the ball. The leather changed hands several times, and play ended with the pigskin in the center of the field. Bay Ridge started off with a rush In the third quarter, and It looked as if the score would be tied. Bright, Steele and Diamond carried the ball to the 15-yard line, but on the next play a forward pass was attempted and Etzel, the Brooklyn Prep halfback, intercepted the ball and ran back ten yards.

Shortly afterward the same player made a sensational forty-live yard run. Brooklyn Prep then worked the ball up to the 6-yard line. With half a yard to go for first down, Quarterback Price showed poor Judgment by calling on Wel-don, who was thrown for a loss, and Bay Ridge received the ball. The Maroon youngsters then carried the Lull down the field on a series of forward passes, but Brooklyn Prep held on the C-yard line, and play was called shortly ortt-ward. The Bay Ridge line players made free use of their hands in their period, but no damago was done.

KARLSON-- PRINCETON PREP BEATS ADELPHI Brooklyn Boys Make a Bravo Stand, but Are Defeated, 20 to 7. TOMMY BRUSH A BIG FACTOR. Former Erasmus Star Proves a Towef of Strength for the Jersey-Eleven. (Special to The Eagle.) Princeton, N. November 1 Prince ton Prep defeated Adelphi by a score of 20 to 7 today in one of the hardest fought games of tho season.

The Prep school lads were much older and heavier than the Brooklyn boys aud in Joues, Tomui Brush and King had a back field thut i conceded to be one of the best in th Eastern preparatory schools. Time an again their big fullback wa3 able to drag along from two to three of his lighter Adelphi opponents for several yards before he was finally downed. The brilliant work of the Adelphi backs alone prevented a much larger Bcore as the heavy Prep forwards repeatedly opened up big holes for their backs. Priuceton got the jump on Adelphi In the first quarter and scored two touchdowns in rapid' succession, the first on straight football aud the second by a beautifully executed forward pass, Brush to King. With the score 13 to 0 against them, tho Brooklyn team took a brace and was put Into a position to score when the Prep school fumbled lu rnid-fleld and Captain Ibbotson recovered the ball for Adelphi.

He gained eight yards on a tackle around play and Don Alford added fifteen more by a run around right end. On the next play Ken Alford made a perfect pass to Leyser, who carried the ball over the goal line for a touchdown. Kelsey kicked the goal from a difficult angle. This ended the scoring until the last few minutes of play when Princeton rushed the ball over the line due to the good work of Brush and King. Adelphi gained on nearly every exchange of punts.

Love's kicking was exceptionally good and his long spirals averaging close to forty yards enabled his ends to get the opposing back before ho could get started. Much credit is due to tho whole Adelphi team for the plucky game it put up. Captain Ibbotson bore the brunt of the attack that was hurled against bis side of the Hue aud stopped many of tho Prep plays before they were well under way. Don Alford ran the team in splendid fashion and broke through tho center of the line for several long runs. Tommy Brush, tho former EraBmus star, was a tower of strength for the Prep.

Twice on the kick off he sent the bull far over tho goal line. Ho could bo counted on to gain from five to ten yards nearly every time ho can-led ths, ball, and it was his accurate passing that led directly to one ot the touch downs. Many disappointed not to se Uewcllyu Wray, whom the Prep school men claim Is a second Hobey Baker, in action. Ho declined, however, to play against his old teammates and remained on the side lines during the contest. The line-up: AdelphlP).

The battle will be decided at Commercial Field at 10 o'clock, so as not to conflict with the afternoon games.

Commercial met with much hard luck in the early part of the season, but (lie team has shown marked improvement of late and should be at Its best tomorrow. Coach Shearer will have Its strongest lineup In the field and he expects bin things from Hozens and Roscoe, his new finds.
