SOUTH SIDE NEWMAN PREP THE REFLECTOR Saturday, September 30th, the Clifton foot- ball team, accompanied by a strong squad of rooters, travelled to The City Field, Newark, and defeated the Southside aggregation to the tune of 19-12 in one of the best games played on that field. Our first score of the season was made by “Art” Argauer, who received a forward pass and raced fifty yards for a touchdown. In the second period Vine. Chimenti intercepted a forward and tore sixty yards for the second score of the game. “Rummy” Bednarcik dis- played a wonderful exhibition of open field running which was a deciding factor in the victory. At one time he raced sixty-five yards but was downed ten yards from the goal line. Another who deserved praise was Weber; his work on the defensive at half-back was great. Our boys emerged free from injuries and confident of a straight row of victories for another season. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS SOUTH SIDE Argauer Left End Green Left Tackle ..

In this game our famous leader George Quinlan displayed his ability in line plunder- ing, tearing through Irvington’s line for gains at will. Every man on the squad played well and showed his ability in this game. On November 14th, the Newman Prep eleven visited the Clifton High School grid- iron for our first home game of the season. The line’s defensive work was the outstand- ing feature of the game. Riley, De Lorenzo, Plog, Ziegler, Le Grande, Weber and Feld- man composed the stonewall defense. The game ended in a decisive victory for the Ma- roon and Gray. 20-0. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS NEWMAN PREP.

The feature of this game was the Maroon and Gray’s aerial attack. “Ching” Riley showed his ability in picking the pig- skin from midair at all angles and running for long gains. The line displayed its usua' de- fense and the backfield its wonderful aggres- siveness. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS HEMPSTEAD Riley Weber Left End Plog Left Tackle Ziegler Left Guard Le Grande ..

THE REFLECTOR Does history repeat itself? We’ll say it floes. For, once again our football team has kept its slate clean. Mr. Nutt, our indefatigable principal, was largely responsible for the success of the team representing his school. He was regarded by the team as one of the players, for he was with them at every game, and always saw to it that his boys received a square deal. When he told his boys to play clean at all costs, they did, or died trying, as was shown at the Orange game. Coach Hurlburt worked incessantly on the material he had at the start of the season and moulded it into a strong, smooth running ma- chine deserving of the name by which it was often called during the season—“Ilurlburt’s Gridders.” CLIFTON VS.

October 28th, our undefeated team met the graduates and troun- ced them to the tune of 51-0. Not once dur- ing the game did the dying fighters let up. “Mit” Sutter, star quarterback of last year’s eleven, played with the same dash and vigor which always marked his playing. Clifton s defense was excellent. Play after play was nipped in the bud by Dutch Weber and “Phil” De Lorenzo. In the second half “Bill” Gras and Doug. Masten displayed some great football but failed to score on their plunges.
