THE ROUND TABLE 21 to the time this issue went to press, it was already well underway. With the same competent coaching the girls had last year and with all of last year’s varsity out and practicing hard, great hopes may be held out for the season. Last year’s rating shows Red Bank second in the race for the champion- ship, Asbury having nosed them out by a small margin. With the same coach and the same team coupled with greater experience and knowledge, it is safe to hope that they may come out on top of the pile this year. At any rate, it’s up to us, who don’t play to give our support to hearten this promising lot of players who show every intention of playing hard for us. The Varsity line up will be Vera Truex, center; Leah De Gavre, side center; Marian Courvoisier and Jessie Inscoe, guards; and Anita Matthews and Carol Sc'hroeder forwards with Henrietta Brown sub-center, Marion Presby sub-forward and Mabel Mazza sub-guard. The team has selected Miss Inscoe as captain. As a last season team member of no mean skill and repute. Miss Inscoe is very capable of leading her team mates through a victorious season. The schedule as prepared by Miss Schroeder, manager, is as follows: Nov. 15—Keyport—'Home Nov. 29—Matawan—Away Dec. 6—'Leonardo—Away Dec. 13—At. Highlands—Home Dec. 19—Manasquan—Away Jan. 10—Leonardo—Home Jan. 1 7—Perth Amboy—Away Jan. 24—Keyport—Away Jan. 31—Asbury—Home Feb. 7—At.

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

W. Chandler, 1917 -------o-------- Red Bank, N. J., Nov. 23. 1922. To the Alumni Editor, The Round Table, R. B. H. S.: Time in her flight sets a fast pace. When I look back to the night of June 17th, 1897—over twenty five years ago—and draw a mental picture of the quarter of a century represented, there comes a realization that “Our todays and our yesterdays are the blocks with which we build.’’ The above mentioned date is one of the milestones of my life. It was “Commencement Night’ and although it represented a period of my life com- pleted yet, “Commencement had only begun. On that eventful night I became the proud possessor of a diploma awarded to me as a graduate of the Red Bank Public High School for “having pur- sued and completed in a satisfactory manner the course of study prescribed by this school’ and that my “knowledge of the sciences, scholastic attainments, industry and moral worth justly en- titled me to the same. Never before had I fully realized the worth and full intent of that Latin proverb so frequently recited at school:
