of the two teams was as follows: in a squad twenty-three a team with twelve substitutes Those who saw the husky muscular men of the navy trained to the height of Unple physical perfection as they marched through the streets felt a sort of pity for the high school Some even suggested it wise that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children be notified Appearances are often deceitful The uniforms were new and stiff and gave them an appearance of liiucii more weight than actually existed although they 'did outweigh the high school by a numbers of pounds Muscular- strength is not the onfyr tiling that counts in a football game either Score in Eleve's Minute The band played a few tunesthe whistle blew then came the big surprise In' three work on the field speed coupled with the careful earnest coaching the high- school has had showed -telling results and in' eleven minutes the ball yi carried down tliq field and over the New line for the first touchdown hyd goal was kicked

was the cleanest game that has been played here this year and anxious as they were to win the New York' boys displayed not the least sign of rough work or improper tactics The showed superior in team work to the visitors and their gains were made mostly by steady scientific line plunging now through this end now through that end and often straight through the middle of the line interference elicited the admiration of the New coaches and the boys had plenty of ginger and played a spirited game Nutley Ralph Boggs Tuttle Leo Teats and Burke all did notable work for old gold and the playing of little Nutley was superb Tuttle played brilliantly and time after time went through the line and made one good gain by a hurdle over the center Little Boggs did some extra fine work in gaining ground and Kissel and Burko both played well as did every single- boy on llie team punting was of the best and he missed only one of four goals and that with the ball far out of range of the goal
