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.

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 UNION IIILL On Saturday, November 4th, the Union Hill eleven succumbed to the Maroon and Gray at Doherty’s Oval. In this game Vine Chimenti showed what he could do for his Alma Mater. His playing, even though he was injured, marked an indomitable spirit to stick and fight with his teammates, regardless of all handi- caps. “Rummy” Bednarcik’s pretty drop kick was responsible for three of the nine points. Vine’s touchdown accounted for the other six. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS UNION HILL Riley Left End Weber Plog Left Tackle Ziegler Left Guard Le Grande ... Center De I orenzo ..

November 11th, the unde- feated Clifton eleven celebrated the Armistice holiday in real style by defeating the strong Paterson High School aggregation by the score of 26-0. In this game Paterson never had a chance, the Clifton warriors playing as they never did before. The whole Clifton team played together, but “Billie” Ziegler’s work stood out most prominently. Ziegler made big holes in the line, at will, for the backfield men to go through; his tackling was deadly and clean. In all the games this season our center played wonderful football and was a big link in our chain of defense but his best showing was made in this Paterson game. Ziegler rightly deserves the honor of captain for next year. “Rummy” Bednarcik also played well, showing some wonderful broken field running. But in this Paterson game, the Clifton line showed its real strength, Weber, Plog and Le Grande starring on the defensive, and Riley, Feldman and De Lorenzo on the offensive. In all, the whole team played won- derful football. For Paterson, Ward was the only real star. This dark-complexioned boy surely can play football.
