 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.

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.

ORANGE THE LINE-UPS THE REFLECTOR With our usual large number of rooters and all the players on the squad confident of win- ning, we journeyed to Orange on the 24th of November. This game was the only contest on our schedule that was not handled in a competent manner, resulting in Clifton’s being defeated by tbe score of 12 to 13. “Art” Argauer made a pretty run of 80 yards for a touchdown but the referee called it an illegal play, saying the team was offside. The Clif- ton line played an excellent game. Too much glory cannot be heaped upon Bill Ziegler, Plog, Weber, Le Grand, Riley, and Nicolls. CLIFTON THE LINE-UPS ORANGE Riley Left End De Lorenzo ....

The game was so close throughout that the result was in doubt until the final whistle. It was the hardest game that any Clifton eleven has ever played. Norwood was supported wonderfully by 400 rooters who travelled from Massachusetts to Clifton with the team. The playing of Clifton’s line featured the game although both teams’ back- field played stellar football. Argauer and Bednarcik were the stars of the Clifton back- field, while Hammersley was the best man on Norwood's team. Others who starred were Dower and Foren of Norwood and Riley, Weber, Coan, who took Vine. Chimenti’s place at fullback. Capt. Quinlau and De Lorenzo of Clifton.

Since the Orange de- feat was thrown out by the State Athletic Board, we for the second successive year finished the season undefeated. Clifton was considered by many sport writers to be as strong as either of the two contenders for the state championship, but the State Athletic Board failed to recognize this. We set aside this space to congratulate Rutherford High School on winning the state football championship for the second consecu- tive year. Every member of the team and every pupil of Clifton High School gladly for- wards this congratulation. Finally, and most important of all, we grate- fully thank the Citizens’ Committee for the good time they gave the members of the foot- ball squad. On December 12th this Commit- tee gave the team a dinner at the Hotel Mc- Alpin in New York City, at which the letter men received their letters and rewards, and in the evening the team witnessed the Hippo- drome performance. The following were the members who re- ceived gold footballs and letters: Captain George Quinlan Phillip De Lorenzo Arthur Argauer Raymond Bednarcik Vincent Chimenti William Ziegler Charles Riley Ernest Weber lack Feldman Arthur Plog Rupert Le Grand Ambrose Wasdyke Arthur Ilardt John Reid Robert Coan James Nicholls Boost the “Reflector” Please Patronize Our Advertisers PAGE TWENTY-FIVE
