THE ROUND TABLE 19 first touchdown of the game and soon afterwards Brannin completed a pass from Irwin and ran for another touch- down. The period ended soon after with Red Bank leading by a score 12—0. Neither team scored in the second or third periods and at the end of the third quarter Red Bank still led by a score of 12—0. During the first part of the fourth quarter neither team scored; but towards the last part of the game Newman scored by pushing the ball over, after Red Bank had been penalized five yards for offside. Newman kicked off and Red Bank drove the ball within three yards of her goal line. Another touchdown would have been made had not the game ended. The team would have scored higher, if it had not met with so many obsta- cles. First the referee; second, the team played without three first team players; third, the boys played on a strange field; fourth, the team was forced to play straight football owing to the presence of Lakewood. Never- theless the team won and made a rec- ord for six consecutive victories. R. H. S., 15; LAKEWOOD, 7 The most important and one of the most interesting games was played at the Oriole Field on Saturday, Novem- ber 18th, between Lakewood and Red Bank High schools, the latter being victorious, after a hard fought game. The score was 15—7. Neither team scored in the first quarter, the ball going first to one team and then to the other. But in the second period Lakewood scored the first touchdown of the game with a long forward pass, and added an extra point with a drop kick. The second quarter ended a few minutes after, with the score in Lakewood’s favor, 7—0. The third quarter opened with Irwin kicking the ball across Lakewood’s goal line, from where it was brought out to Lakewood’s twenty yard line. Lake- wood then lost the ball on downs, and a few plays later Irwin circled right end for Red Bank’s first touchdown. Lar- taud’s kick fell short and the third quarter ended with Lakewood still lead- ing with a score of 7—16. The fourth period began with the ball in Lakewood’s possession, but in Red Bank’s territory. Lakewood was held for three downs and on the fourth she threw a long forward pass that was intercepted by Captain Irwin who ran sixty yards for another touchdown. Irwin again kicked off, the ball going behind the goal line, and it was brought out to Lakewood’s twenty yard line. Lakewood lost the ball on downs and Lartaud made Red Bank’s victory cer- tain by kicking a field goal from Lake- wood’s thirty yard line. The game ended shortly afterward with Red Bank again victorious by a score 15—7. Special mention should be made of Cajptain Irwin’s long runs; Lartaud’s field goal and Scotch’s interference which enabled Irwin to score his second touchdown. Seven consecutive victor- ies for Red Bank boys. R. H. S., 22; LEONARDO, 0 The boys finished their season on Thanksgiving Day by defeating Leon- ardo for the second time in a fast ex- citing game. Since the day was ideal for football, over 2,000 people saw the contest. Both teams started their very best eleven. In the first quarter, Irwin kicked off for Red Bank and Leonardo was

i8 THE ROUND TABLE R. H. S., 53; TOMS RIVER, 0 The fifth game iproved to 'be rather easy for the Red Bank team, and Toms River was overwhelmed by a score of 53—0, on Saturday November 4, 1922, at the Oriole Field. Red Bank scored in every quarter and after the first few minutes of play the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Hendrickson scored the first six points for the Red and Gray and six more were soon added when Lartaud carried the ball across the goal line. Red Bank scored two more points on a safety in this period, and the first quarter ended with Red Bank leading by a score of 14—0.

Five victories for Red Bank. R. H. S., 12; NEWMAN PREP., 7 On Friday, Nov. 10, 1922, the Red Bank team journeyed to Lakewood to battle Newman Prep., and won by a score 12—7. Red Bank’s success in this game was due largely to the send off the school gave the team. Never before in the history of Red Bank High School has any team received such support from the student body. Prac- tically every student of both the Junior and Senior High Schools was present to do his part, and every member of the team will never forget the songs that were sung and the cheers that were given, that noon. Students who were in the High School last year and years before notice how school spirit has developed. We have always had the spirit in school but lacked a leader to start songs and cheers. We have most certainly found an able and capable leader in Mr. Smith. Every pupil of the High School thanks him for his fine work, in estab- lishing a good cheering section that is worthy of representing Red Bank High. The squad of Red Bank players, numbering about thirty, arrived in Lakewood after a long journey through the pines, and the game started about 3:20 P. M. Our boys did all of their scoring in the first quarter, and they piled up a lead that' gave them a victory. After a few minutes of play Captain Irwin broke around right end for the

20 THE ROUND TABLE downed on their 20 yard line. After several useless attempts of line plays, Leonardo fumbled and Irwin recovered the ball for Red Bank. Red Bank failed to gain against Leonardo’s line and Lartaud dropped back for a drop kick. He kicked from a hard angle but the ball cleared the goal by inches, giving Red Bank the lead, 3—0. Irwin again kicked off for Red Bank and the ball seesawed up and down the field. The quarter ended with the ball in Red Bank’s territory. The score now stood 3—0 in Red Bank’s favor. The second quarter proved very dangerous to Red Bank on account of the terrific line plunging of Steinmuller. The ball was worked for downs by Leonardo to Red Bank’s four yard line, but the line stiffened and Leon- ardo lost the ball on downs. Irwin kicked the ball back to his 30 yard line and Leonardo repeated their previous performance by working the ball to Red Bank’s 5 yard line. Again the local team braced up and took the ball on downs, Irwin kicking ouit of danger after a few futile line plays. The half ended with neither team in danger, the score still standing. Red Bank, 3; Leonardo, 0. Between the halves, excellent cheer- ing was given by both schools. Nestler, who had been replaced by Muller, and Lartaud who had been re- placed by Klatsky in the second quarter were both back in the second half. The third quarter brought little en- couragement to either side, as the teams being evenly matched, kept seesawing up and down the field, neither side scoring or even becoming dangerous. The quarter ended with the score un- changed. The last quarter proved to be the most exciting one the Red Bank team has played this season. By a brilliant mixture of end runs and forward passes, the Red and Gray team pushed the ball to Leonardo’s four yard line. Here they were stopped dead for three downs, but on the fourth, Hendrickson ran the ball around left end for the remaining distance. Lartaud failed the drop kick, leaving the score: R. B. H. S., 9; Leonardo, 0. Irwin kicked the ball to Leonardo’s 40 yard line, where Red Bank held them for downs. From there, Irwin threw a beautiful pass to Brannin, who carried the ball within inches of Leon- ardo’s chalk line. Lartaud carried the ball across on the next play, but failed the extra point. Again Leonardo received, but lost the ball on downs. Red Bank worked the ball slowly down the field when Taylor received a pretty forward pass and covered the remaining distance for Red Bank’s third touchdown. The extra point was made by a pass from Lartaud to Irwin. The game ended with Leonardo having the ball in mid-field. The final score was 22—0 in favor of Red Bank High School. The whole Red Bank team played a great brand of football and all deserve much credit. Steinmuller was the outstanding Leonardo player, both on offensive and defensive work for his team. This made Red Bank’s eighth con- secutive victory with no defeats for the entire season, while scoring a total of 184 points against their opponents, 27. -------o-------- GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls’ Basketball has started and though no games had been played up
