ODD SUPERSTITITIONS ABOUT CHRISTMAS There are superstitions anent Christ- mas in all countries, but probably the following are a few of the most ex- traordinary. In north Germany a person must not spin during the twelve nights of Christ- mas, lest he or she should walk after death, nor after sunset on Saturday, for then mice will eat the work. If it is desired to have money and luck all the year round one must not fail to eat herrings on New Year’s day, or if you wish to be lucky must you rock an empty cradle or spill salt wantonly or cross knives or point at the stars. If a dirty cloth is left on the table over Christmas night it will make the angels weep, if you point upward to THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Ring, 0 bells, in your steeples; Vanish, ye clouds, in the sky! For the time of peace, good will to men. On earth is drawing nigh. Sing, 0 worker, over your tasks; Carol, 0 heart, that is glad and free! For the Christmas joy and the Christ- mas bells Are for thee, for thee, for thee! Cheer, 0 life, that is sad and dark; Heal, O soul, that is torn and sore, For the manger Babe and living God Are loving and calling thee ever- more. —Faith Bradford 4 THE ROUND TABLE the rainbow it will make the angels’ feet bleed, and if you talk of cabbages while looking at the moon you will hurt the feelings of the man in it. At Kilgrimol, near Blackpool, ii Eng- land a very common superstition pre- vails that the bells of a hidden church may be heard by any one who bends his ear to the ground. In Berkshire it was at one time a popular belief that bells could be heard ringing in t'he ground on Christmas eve, and in some parts of England miners have been heard to say that bells could be heard merrily pealing in the most distant parts of the mine. The most' popular superstition in many parts of England is that every remnant of Christmas decoration must be removed before Candlemas day. Should a sprig of holly or other ever- green be left in any house, one of its occupants will die within the year. -------------------o------ TO OUR FRESHMAN The Round Table heartily welcomes to our High School, you the students of the June Class of 27. You, after eight years of hard but successful studying have completed your Gram- mar course and are now practically en- tering into a new school life and career. No doubt it seems to you that you have entered into a larger and more dem- ocratic group. You have the liberty to choose your own studies and are to a larger degree dependent upon your own initiative. It rests entirely with you whether or not you are to make a success of your High School life, either individually or as a unit. If you have a good beginning the chances are you will have a good ending. As a Class unit you should organize as quickly as possible for if you are well organized when Freshmen you will have an early start, which cannot be over-estimated in Class activities and at the same time imbue into your members the practice of being interested in all class activities and organizations. Again, individual Freshmen, at your leisure moments you may wander through the halls and observe many trophies of superior scholarship which have been won by the loyal students of R. B. H. S. You have the chance and may be fortunate enough to have your name inscribed on a loving cup or some other trophy. Make it your duty now to enter some field of school activity and by the time your four years are completed you will stand in the foreground of school life. Begin now. keep your head up with your eyes rest- ing on that goal which you now vague- ly see, each year it will become plainer, and by the fourth and last year you will have successfully attained it. THE ROUND TABLE 5 DON'T BELIEVE IN SIGNS All the fellows at school liked and admired Ed Dickson. He was not especially good looking nor was he one to attract much attention, but then, he was a good, clean sport and a won- derful basketball player, a consistent star in the court battles. Ed had prom- ising virtues and he might have been an exceedingly popular person but he had one serious drawback and that was his utter indifference to the fairer sex. Seemingly, he did not like girls but he actually had been attracted to one from the first day he had arrived in the town, but on that same occasion she had been accompanied by a tall fellow of collegiate appearance and to Ed’s mind she was one of those marked “Taken.” Thus, his apparent uncon- cern. The girl, Betty Morris, was most congenial, quite popular and secretly very fond of Ed Dickson, although she was practically certain no girl could ever impress him. Sometimes all we need is a spark to set afire our sentiments and bring out our real selves. The excitement of the basketball game for the district cham- pionship served to supply the spark es- sential in this particular case. On entering the gymnasium for the game that Friday afternoon, Betty felt someone take her arm. She turned, and to her surprise, saw Ed Dickson standing by her side. She called forth her very best smile as he blurted out: “If we win, will you go to the Senior Dance with me tonight?” In her aston- ishment, Betty accepted as abruptly as he had asked, and with a very delicious tingling she quickly took her place among the other boisterous supporters of t'he school. Ed ran swiftly out on the court to join the others, thinking to himself, “I’m glad I asked her; after all, -that fellow isn’t with her today.” The game progressed and at the end of the first half, Betty was joined by the handsome fellow of Ed’s apprehen- sion. Dickson played a wonderful game, scoring the winning point by tossing a pretty basket just before the time whistle blew. The game was won; and Betty was going to the Sen- ior dance with him! What more could he ask! 6 THE ROUND TABUS AJ1 of the school’s enthusiastic mem- bers trooped out on the court to con- gratulate the players and as Betty looked about for Ed, she saw him com- ing towards her, grinning from ear to ear. Betty was ready with a word of commendation when she saw his face change and he quickly turned about and walked from the gym with a fellow player. What could possibly have hap- pened? Why had he so suddenly changed his friendly attitude. And what was she to do about the dance that night? These were just a few of the questions which teemed in Betty’s perplexed mind as she walked abstract- edly along with the chatter of her col- legiate companion ringing unheeded in her ears. Meanwhile, Ed hurried from the field, murmuring Why did he have to be along again? Couldn’t he have stayed away today?” His friend’s conversation broke in upon his gloomy thoughts, He is one of the finest fellows I know.” Who?” asked Ed absently. Why, Betty Morris’s brother, just home from college,” supplied his friend. Don’t know him,” said Ed. Too bad, fine fellow and very de- voted to Betty, takes her everywhere. He was with her this afternoon.” What?” exclaimed Ed. The heavy slap on the shoulder that Ed’s friend received was always a deep and unexplained mystery to him but Ed’s own little mystery was cleared up and he lost no time in reaching a tele- phone and then using it to advantage. It might be said in passing that Betty had a forgiving nature and realized that slight misunderstandings are likely to occur even in the best of circles. WE GO ADVENTURING It was a day off at boarding school but strict orders had been given not to leave the grounds and we were left to amuse ourselves as best we were able. It seems that on this particular day, everyone was waiting for something to happen, but as nothing happened that was in the least exciting, and as noth- ing seemed likely to occur, we decided to seek some form of enjoyment by which to beguile away the time. Someone suggested a hike in the mountains immediately adjacent to the school limits. This had been forbidden us, but that only made the project that much more alluring and hastily we made ready and shortly after met at the foot of the mountain. We began the ascension. It was rough traveling, but we didn’t mind as we had heard many wierd stories about the place and were quite interested in it. We had been walking for several hours when we found an overgrown bypath which we followed and at length came to a surprisingly large level stretch of ground upon which stood an old house. An imposing structure it was in spite of its decrepit condition, looking rather like a medieval castle. Timidly, we approached it and trying the massive door found it locked. But a locked door only served to increase the charm of the mysterious place and we sought until we gained entrance. Once inside, however, the place did not appear so alluring. Cobwebs hung like mists, myriad bugs scurried here and there, floors creaked as we set appre- hensive feet upon them. The air was heavy and to us, fresh from the invigor- ating atmosphere of the outdoors, al- most sickening. The dirt of the place THE R O U X1) TA BI .E 7 jarred upon us after the immaculate- ness of the school and we explored dis- passionately, finding nothing of more than a passing interest. Ascending the wide staircase though proved a more stimulating task. I do not know whether we went up so slowly and timorously because we expected it to fall with us or that we thought to be knocked unceremoniously right down again by some unknown evil lying in wait for us or what it was, but our boredom gave way to a tingling and we regarded each other with rather scared expressions. The feeling per- sisted as we explored the upper story and we fairly shook as we finally found a door which was locked. Resolutely we battered it down and entered. A quick glance around revealed nothing. An impulsive pull however, at a closed door brought' immediate results. The door clattered from its hinges and amid a cloud of dust hit the floor like a cannon shot. Our first impulse was to run and to run fast! Fear held us glued to the spot and after collecting our scattered wits, we hauled out an innocent looking trunk which was at the otherwise empty closet. We literally dove into the box. And it was almost with disappointment that we saw only papers in it. The greater number of them written in a foreign language. Searching further, we found a small sealed packet. Like the locked door this seal seemed to conceal mys- tery and we lost no time in breaking it. One of our number translated the small paper which it contained. It was almost with horror that we learned it to be the confession of the murderer of Monsieur --------. The murderer’s father an exiled French nobleman, had formerly resided in this house and had so concealed the paper in order that his son, the real murdered might be saved from prison. After hearing that dismal account' of the murder, the house took on for us, a horrible aspect and we hurriedly made our exit glad to be once more on the trail and at length to find ourselves safe at school. Fearing punishment, we were at first resolved not to disclose to anyone the content of the paper but our happiness was unbounded when, after showing the packet to the Dean, we learned that our unwittingly happy discovery had been the means of pardoning an innocent man and the bringing to jus- tice the murdered of the unfortunate Monsieur ------------. But our escapade had not gone en- tirely without notice, nor was our sub- sequent good deed ample grounds for the pardoning of our disobedience. We were punished, I shall not say how, but you may be sure, we never went out again in search of excitement. -------o------- THE WISH BONE “Here, Tom, help me pull this wish- bone,” Uncle Jim reached across the table and Tom grasped the other end of the wish-bone. “Ready, Tom?” “Ready! ” The wishbone snapped and Tom joy- ously held up the larger end. “Hur- ray,” he shouted, “I’m sorry you lost it. Uncle Jim, but my joy is greater than my sorrow.” Tom’s father and mother smiled and Uncle Jim, the Thanksgiving guest, tried to look sorrowful but, failing ut- terly, burst into a hearty laugh. “That’s all right, Tom. I wished that you would get it so my wish came true anyway.” 8 THE ROUND TAR IE The Thanksgiving vacation was soon ended, and Tom Judson had to go back to school. “Well, Tom, why the long face? ’ inquired Uncle Jim at noon. “School gets worse and worse,” was the answer. “Who’s keeping you in this fine day?” ‘‘No one.” “Then what has happened? Did you fail a test?” “Worse than that,” groaned Tom. “Everyone in the High School has to write an essay on his Pet Hobby.” “Well, why don’t you write about radio?” “Aw—all the fellows are going to write that!” For a week, Tom worried about the essay, worried himself, his mother, and all others with whom he could possibly speak of it. The essay was to be handed in on Monday. It was Satur- day night before he realized that he hadn’t written a thing. Mr. and Mrs. Judson were out so Tom went resolute- ly to his desk and got out paper and a pencil. He played with the pencil awhile, then got up and sharpened it. A few more minutes of restless silence, then he took off his collar and rolled up his sleeves. “Whew what a job!” he exclaimed. He looked around thoughtfully for a while, foraged in the kitchen for a piece of cake and finally scrawled across the top of the first sheet, the one word “Skateing.” ‘‘Why, hadn’t' he thought of that be- fore?” He knew a lot about skating and in a short time he had written enough for his essay. “I’ll copy it tomorrow, I guess,” he said and with a sigh of relief put it away. “On the day before Christmas the Judson home was full of guests and decorated with holly wreaths and Christman bells while in one corner stood a giant Christmas tree. The postman’s whistle! What could he coming now? “Package for Thomas Judson, Ma’am,” the postman said as he hand- ed it to Mrs. Judson. “Mother, can I open it? Just this one? Please.” ‘‘Well, all right. But just this one.” Tom untied the string with excited fingers. On top of an oblong red box he found a white envelope with a letter inclosed from the school superintend- ent. It stated that the teachers had voted to award a prize for the best Pet Hobby essay. Judson s essay had taken the prize which had been selected with the aid of the essay itself. “Open it, Tom,” his father urged. Tom lifted the red cover and dis- closed a bright new pair of skates. “Now, I wonder,” he began. Then startled the group by exclaiming “1 know—the wishbone!” --------o------- AT THE SIGN OF THE GREEN STAR It was a wild wierd night'. The over boisterous wind clattered the shutters and sent the late Autumn leaves scam- pering crazily over the chilled ground. The sky was a canopy of black velvet. Not a star dared to peep out lest it be blown from its place by the rapacious winds. But inside, in the warm cozy house, snugly ensconced in a huge chair be- fore the fireplace, sat Ruth King, deep- ly absorbed in a book. At length she yawned. “What a clever mystery,” she exclaimed aloud. “But I’m so sleepy that’ I scarcely feel like reading it- however good it may THE ROUND TABLE 9 be. I wish there was something else to do.” She turned the leaves of the book slowly, idly glancing at the pict- ures and laughingly said—‘‘It makes charming reading, but' such thirtgs don’t happen in real life. I, for one, have never had a real adventure.” Laying the book down, she rested her chin in her hand and gazing into the flames plunged into a profound revery. The winds meanwhile kept up its dis- mal howling. Ruth shivered at the sound of it. More and more piercing- ly it howled, then suddenly at the peak of the crescendo, seemed to pause for breath and Ruth heard a tap-tap sound from somewhere, seemingly close by. Winds whistled ominously in the chim- ney. The lights flickered. A log in the fireplace fell in myriad fragments, showering tiny sparks as it crashed. Ruth was terrified. Tap-tap-tap—came the sound again. She turned, fear crystallizing into action. Cautiously, she made her way to a window irresistibly drawn by some preternatural force. Peering out she discerned just below the sill a muffled figure, she could not see the face, but she felt burning eyes fixed relentlessly upon her. She gazed at it awed to the point of immovability. From its cloak a hand crept out' and held before her fright-glazed eyes a star cut from some strange fabric and of a phosphorescent green. Then a muffled hollow voice intoned the single word “Come!” And the figure disappeared. Ruth stood irresolute. Half afraid, half tensed with excitement. ‘‘What a chance for adventure!” she cried final- ly. ‘‘Shall I go or— but why should I be afraid? Nothing can harm me. Besides—what fun it will be to tell people, Tom especially at the dance tomorrow night!” This last idea cap- tivated her. Hurriedly, she donned her coat and hat and slipping on heavy gloves, left the house. Once outside, however, she lost the confidence which had so helpfully buoyed her up. For where was she to go? Surely the figure had said “Come!”—but where? Sev- eral minutes she stood there expectant of some clue, but finally somewhat vexed, she turned to re-enter the house. Co-incident with her movement, a green star appeared on a nearby tree. Of course, she gave up immediately all thought of going again into the house and walked towards the star as if hyp- notized. Her course was now plain for it was evident that her mysterious guide meant to drop these stars all along the way. On and on she went, led by those strange clues, now on trees, on fences on houses, or on sidewalks. So intent' was she on her way that she lost all cognizance of her path and did not notice where it was leading her until at last, looking up, she found herself at the edge of a shadowy glum forest. Here the trail ended. Although she looked about and flashed the light she had brought along, almost with unwit- ting cleverness, she was unable to find any more clues. Disappointment and gloom overcame her and so highly keyed had she been to her task-—if it may be called that, that she very neatly collapsed. Steering herself she turned and commended the weary walk home. Gloomily back over the trail she had just traversed so ardently—went Ruth, when abruptly she stopped and bent over a small packet upon which winked leeringly a green star. Timorously she picked it up, then with growing exhil- eration tore it ope nto find a small paper bearing this: ‘‘Go to old Wab 10 TILE ROUND TABUS ton’s deserted house on Hollow Road. Enter, but be cautious. Search rigor- ously and you will find something to your advantage.” No name was signed. Only a tiny counterfeit of a green star glowed blandly. A strange thrill pulsed through Ruth as she re- read the words. And the same impulse, the desire to tell her friends, Tom par- ticularly, prompted her to obey the queer message. Pulling her coat still closer to her so as to evade still more the biting cold and the rasping wind she made her way not at all nonchantantly to the appoint- ed place. A chill clutched her as she saw the house. “How dark, how for- bidding it appears! Shutters flopping! Could any place look more decadent?” Tingling with excitement' and still drawn by the irresistible influence, she tremulously approached the house. The door yielded and she entered. But it swung shut so suddenly, impelled by the wind that she could scarcely restrain a cry of terror at the appalling noise it made. She felt a strange chill come over her and imagined she could discern wierd figures slinking through the hall ways. What a thing to tell Tom indeed but how much pleasanter to have Tom with her all this time? Of a sudden she stiffened. Out of the blanket of darkness which envel- oped her, came a scream which curdled her blood even as she recognized the voice to be Tom’s. “Help, for God’s sake! Ruth, Ruth Sounds of a struggle and a long drawn final wail of pain. Ruth was transfixed with fright but after what seemed an eternity she came to herself and leaped in the direction from which the sound had proceeded. She again flashed the light—now somewhat dimmed—and saw in its wan glare her old friend Tom, in the devastating grip of a huge fiend who was relentlessly choking what little life he had left to him. As in a dream she realized it all. The mad man had lured Tom out there to murder him and not content with that savagery lured good old Tom’s pal too. Enraged, Ruth picked up a knife which lay on a table and cried—“Leave him alone, you fiend!” and raising the knife, she took a step forward. Fatal step! Tom’s oppon- ent paused, and in a fraction of a second touched a button concealed under the table. ‘‘Fool, fool,” he shrieked. Ruth sensed what would happen and tried to side step but too late. The floor seemed to slip away from her and with the awful laugh of the mad man ringing in her ears and the last harrow- ing spectacle of Tom, burning her eyes, she fell down—down—down hitting bottom with a tremendous bang. Rue- fully she rubbed her head and -opened her eyes—to look into the face of her mother! “Ruth, dear! you’ve frightened us to death with your groans and screams. At first we thought that you were ill but seeing the mystery story guessed what had happened.” Shaking her drowsy, bewildered head, Ruth arose and made her way towards the stairs. “Mother,” she called, “if you see any green stars, save them for me until morning. Good night! ” TILE RO U XI) T A BEE 11 ttoTeS SENIOR CLASS NOTES Since the custom of going to Wash- ington for a graduation trip has been inaugurated every class has devoted a great amount of energy and time in raising money to take the trip. Dances, cake and candy sales., etc., are all held for one purpose, namely, to make money. The officers of the Class can p.an dances, and cake sales, etc., but if they are not backed by the entire Senior Class, what will it avail them? Everything that has borne SUCCESS in the school or class has been so borne by the support of all,—not' a few! Therefore, realizing this fact, we, the members of the Senior Class, should give as much support as possible to our Class. If you can answer all of the following questions in an affirmative statement you are backing your class; if you cannot answer them in an affir- mative statement you are not backing your class. 1. Are your dues paid up? 2. Did you give or buy a cake at the last cake sale? 3. Did you buy tickets for the Christmas Dance? 4. Are you a supporter of the candy department? The class constitution was adopted at a recent meeting. A committee was appointed to select a class motto and flower. At a later meeting this com- mittee reported and the Class chose “Rambler Rose” as the flower, and “Success Reflects Effort” as the motto. There will be more dances in the future and the proceeds will go to- wards financing that Washington trip! So while we are enjoying ourselves, we are at the same time providing money for future enjoyment. The candy sales committee reports that the profits are rolling in fast. Cul- tivate a sweet tooth and help the class at the same time! “Take advantages of the opportun- ities that life offers.” This has been the advice given to many a student, and is undoubtedly good. The old fellow with the crop of hay on his chin and barren land on her head, will tell you all his troubles. He will tell you of the hard times he had when he was a boy and how he never had a chance to succeed, and that if 12 TUE ROU I) TA BT.E he was a boy today what he would do! He goes on moaning over the easy time boys have today and success being too easy for them to obtain. Sounds good, doesn't it fellows? But, remember, for every position you may get in later life there will be more people trying to get that job of yours, and it will depend upon your ability to hold it. So why not prepare yourself now for the problems of later life. Get all the education possible and regulate your conduct in school so as to cause no trouble bo your teachers. The prisons are filled with people who do not care for the law. You should take the word of your teacher as law, because there will be no teacher spru- ring you along in the straight and nar- row path when you grow older. And remember, “Success Reflects Effort. -------o------ JUNIOR CLASS NOTES J—Jovial U—United N—'Notorious I—Industrious 0—Original R—Reliable C—Correct L—Loyal A—Attractive S—Sympathetic S—Sincere The Class of ’25 Take note. Seniors! The Junior Class rings have been ordered and will soon arrive. The class of ’25 aims to make itself prominent in school activities and shows signs of a most successful year. Even our Vice-President has been chosen as Captain of next year’s foot- ball team. Our class meetings have been excellently attended and plans have been made for a girls’ basketball team and likewise a boy’s basketball team. The girls’ are practicing and hope to play soon. The treasurers report has been re- ceived. Keep up that spirit Juniors and pay your dues. -------o-------- SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES On Thursday, October 16th, a spe- cial Sophomore Class meeting wras held for the purpose of selecting a class motto. Numerous mottoes were sug- gested but despite all efforts none seemed to please the majority of the class. Finally, it was decided to leave the matter to a committee of five. The committee considered the two following mottoes as the best of the lot, and of equal merit. To Know is to Conquer Deeds Not Words On Thursday, Nov. 1st, a regular meeting was held in the Junior High school auditorium. The question of mottoes was again resumed and the class chose the motto. To Know is to Conquer. Notice bo all I Oth grade pupils! Do you know that it is necessary for you to pay your dues before you can graduate from this High School? Why not come to class meetings regularly and take a hand in the business? We want the Sophomores with the Blue and Gray at their head bo be the banner class of R. B. H. S. On Thursday, Dec. 6th, a class meet- ing was held in the Junior H. S. audi- torium. The first thing discussed at this meeting was some proposed amendment to the Class Constitution. According to the present Constitution an amendment must be brought up at THE ROUND TABLE 13 one meeting and voted upon at the next. The proposed amendments deal with duties and powers of officers, the number of members needed to consti- tute a quorum, and a new method of election. Next the subject of class pennant was brought up. According to Mr. Gilland the class cannot spend more than $25 for this. Therefore, a com- mittee was appointed to write to the leading sporting goods stores of the country. It was advised by the president that all the members of the class should think something about the selection of a class flower before the next meeting. As there was no further business to bring up, the meeting was adjourned. Now that our school year is well on its way, let us give attention to a quite important thought. Most of the pupils who graduate from High School expect to enter some higher institution of learning. The feeling will not 'be a pleasant one when they find out at some time in their senior year that they did not take up a certain subject which is required by the college they intend to enter. This mistake cannot' be easily rectified. Therefore, Sophomores, you should think about the entrance requirements of the college you wish to enter. Cat- alogues should be secured, a selection made, and the course moulded accord- ingly. The idea is to be prepared, and this advice can well be given, “Act early and avoid disappointment.” Red Bank 32; Freehold 0 Friday afternoon the Freehold squad arrived here with high hopes of vic- tory; but their hopes were at once shattered for we easily defeated them 32-0. First quarter; R. B. kicked off and Freehold made no gain. On the next play Freehold came through with a slight gain but had to resort to a kick which Branin received. Hartman and Branin made good gains, each run re- sulting in a first down. Lartaud made another first down on two center plunges. Branin made another first down and on the next play R. B. crossed the line. R. B. failed to get the extra point. R. B. kicked off to Freehold’s right half back, who was downed in his tracks by Taylor. Here the first quarter ended; the score 6-0 in our favor. Second quarter: Freehold Lost the ball on downs and after a few small gains Branin punted and Freehold fumbled, Taylor recovering for R. B. Lartaud made a seven yard gain through center and Hartman did like- wise. On the next play, Branin scored on a beautiful end run. Hartman drop- 14 THE HOUND TABLE kicked the goal. R. B. kicked off and Luiganni ran the ball back five yards. Cherin failed to gain and Magee punt- ed. Branin ran the ball back three yards. Marthens made a short gain and Branin hurled a forward pass which Moskovitz intercepted. Free- hold lost the ball on downs. Marthens ran 1 1 yards around right end. Branin made 20 yards more off tackle. Hart- man added five yards and Marthens crashed thru for another first down. Shortly after this R. B. scored again, and made the extra point. Taylor kicked off to Cherin and the half ended with R. B. on top, 20-0. Third quarter: Freehold kicked off and Hartman received. Branin gained 30 yards, Hartman 20, Marthens 10, Oakerson 5 and then Hartman scored on a fifteen yard run. We failed to gain the extra point. The R. B. backs had made eighty yards on five plays! R. B. kicked off and Freehold was held for 3 downs. On the fourth down Cherin kicked. Oakerson made five yards and Marthens made first down. Branin netted 3 yards, and Hartman made another first down. Marthens ran 7 yards around left end, and after gains by Branin, Hartman and Mar- thens, Hartman scored. We did not make the extra point. Here the quarter ended, score 32-0 in favor iof R. B. Fourth quarter: Freehold kicked off, Marthens receiving and making a good gain. R. B. fumbled after a short gain and Freehold recovered. Free- hold, in turn, fumbled and R. B. re- covered the ball in midfield. Taylor ran 13 yards around left end but Branin lost 8 yards when a Freehold tackier broke thru the interference. Lartaud gained 8 yards but R. B. failed to make first down. Freehold fumbled but re- covered. Cherin punted. Lartaud re- ceived, Smock was gaining as the final whistle blew. Summary: R.B.H.S. 32 F.H.S. 0 Irwin............L.E....

The teams had played each other twice and the two games had resulted in a victory for each. New- man, however, was very soon convinced that R. B. could play football, even though somewhat handicapped by the absence of Sloss, Eberle, Lartaud, Wil- liamson, and McClellan. The R. B. eieven did remarkably well and much praise is due them. Red Bank began the battle by kick- ing off and consequently downing New- man on Newman’s 23 yard line. They failed to gain much and resorted to a kick on the last down which R. B. recovered and carried to the 40 yard line. R. B. gained very little and also resorted to a kick being penalized 13 yards and leaving the ball on the 10 yard line in Newman’s possession. Mol- 1923 R. B. H. S. SQUAD 16 THE R OU X I) TAI 1 ,E Ier blocked their kick on the 20 yard line. Hartman ran 4 yards. Branin went through for a first down and Tay- lor brought the ball to the 5 yard line where R. B. fumbled. Newman re- covered 6 yards from the goal and suc- ceeded in making a first down despite the fine tackling of Sweel and Branin. At the end of the first period Newman kicked and the ball was in R. B.’s pos- session on the Newman 40 yd. line. In the second period R. B. began a heavy attack making successive gains. Taylor made 5 yards and Hartman car- ried the ball to a first down. Branin gained 6 yards immediately followed by Hartman who broke through center for 20 yards while Taylor on the next play took the ball to the 7 yard line. Two more plays and Hartman crosses the line for the first touchdown of the tilt. R. B. failed to gain the extra point and kicked off again. Newman recovered and brought the ball to the 20 yard line from where they kicked. R. B. recovered on the 30 yard line. A forward pass was intercepted by Semple of Newman who ran 65 yards for a touchdown unhindered. New- man did not score the extra point. The tieing of the score added interest to the contest and the first half ended after Newman kicked and R. B. had gained but a little. Newman brought' us back to the 30 yard line. R. B. kicked to the 20 yard line and Newman returned with a kick to our 40 yard line. R. B. recovered and made a down in two plays. Ben- nett gained twice for another down. Taylor gained 17 yards around end. R. B. advanced to Newman’s 12 yard, then 5 yard line, but was driven back several yards, after which they gained steadily until Hartman went through center for the second touchdown. The extra point was not scored. R. B. kicked off to the 30 yard line and Newman began an aerial attack which was unsuccessful. They resorted to a kick which landed and was recovered on Newman’s 55 yard line. R. B. gained thru center and punted to the 20 yard line where Newman recovered and was brought down on the 50 yard line by Knight. But here the whistle blew and the game ended with R. B. victor at 12-6. R.B.H.S. 0; Chattle 13 On Saturday, Nov. I 3th, the Chattle squad came down here and defeated us by the score of 13-0. It was a harder fought game than the score might indicate. The cheering of R. B. H. S. was excellent. Chattle thought they would not only win the game by at least three touchdowns, but also beat R. B. in cheering. But they were mis- taken, for Chattle scored only two touchdowns and R. B. H. S. outcheered the Chattle rooters. First Quarter: Chattle kicked off and Taylor ran the ball back 10 yards. Hartman bucked the line for two yards but on the next play Branin was thrown for a loss and R. B. punted to Marks who was downed sharply by Nestler. Lerner gained through center and Marks made a first down. Chattle con- tinued to march up the field and Lerner slipped off tackle for the first touch- down of the game.

Red Bank High lost a bitterly con- tested game to the Lakewood High School team at Lakewood by the score 18 THE HOUND of 7 to 0. The R. B. team as has been the case in every game this year, was greatly handicapped by the absence of a number of it's best players, both by injuries and scholastic ineligibility.

S. 13 Thanksgiving day, Nov. 29th at Red Bank. Thanksgiving Day is the celebrated day of the school year when the teams of Red Bank and Leonardo meet in their annual football battle. It can be called nothing else than a battle. And this particular year Fate was against our team, decreeing that it meet defeat by one point. However, we should not be as prone to criticize as we would have been to flatter had Fate decreed otherwise. Red Bank opened the contest by kicking to Leonardo’s 38 yard line where Irwin brought down the receiver. In two downs Leonardo pushed the ball to a first down and would undoubtedly have repeated the performance had not they fumbled. Red Bank was quick to recover the ball and took it to a first down after the four tries, Leonardo having tackled our team for a couple of losses. We tried a forward pass, then resorted to a punt. Leonardo imme- diately put the ball on the 30 yd. line and on the next play went over for a touchdown by means of an end run. They failed to score the extra point. Leonardo kicked to our 20 yd. line. Red Bank took the ball to first down on three plays after which they were held so that again they resorted to a punt which Leonardo covered on her 35 yard line. Leonardo succeeding in making a first down but was penalized. A pass was attempted but Hartman in- tercepted. Red Bank gained steadily after this and at the end of the first quarter had the ball on the Leonardo 10 yard line. The second quarter was not long under way when by a succession of line plunges, Hartman crossed the line for Red Bank’s tallying touchdown. This left the score 6-6 for Red Bank also failed on the extra point. Taylor kicked to Leonardo’s 15 yard line and Hartman was quick to down the re- coverer. Moller on the first down, tackled Leonardo for a loss. This was repeated and Leonardo was sent back to her 9 yard line from where she gain- ed 4 yards, then kicked and recovered the ball on Red Bank’s 40 yard line. Here Leonardo lost the ball on downs and Red Bank began to repeat the for- mer attack. Hartman plunged 13 yards. Red Bank lost on the next two plays but was able to rally and bring the ball to the 19 yard line. Here Oakerson entered the game and gained 5 yards on the first play. Red Bank completed a forward pass and on the next play took the ball to the 5 yard line from where Hartman again car- ried the ball over. This left Red Bank 5 points better than Leonardo as the first half ended. Leonardo began the second half when she kicked to Red Bank’s 30 yard line. Red Bank failed to gain on the first downs and punted to Leonardo’s 40 yard line. Leonardo carried the ball to first down but on the next three downs did not succeed in breaking through our line so she kicked. Hart- man received on the 25 yard line. Oak- erson slunk away for a 9 yard gain, but we were tackled for a loss and again resorted to the kick. Irwin bringing down their man on the 55 yard line. Leonardo gained 3 yards. Branin tackled them for a loss and they, too, relied again upon a punt, kicking to our 20 yard line. On the first down Taylor broke away for a THE ROUND TABLE 21 20 yard gain after which Red Bank gained slightly, 4 yards and then was penalized. After another gain of 5 yards Taylor plunged still farther than before and covered all the lost territory of 35 yards. The third quarter ended. It was the last quarter that Red Bank met its doom. At the start we were penalized and in another instant fumbled. Leonardo began a serious at- tack, making three first downs in suc- cession by means of line plunging and end runs until finally the enemy was on our 20 yard line before we realized it. By a clear forward pass, Leonardo se- cured her second touchdown and also after, the extra point leaving R. B. trailing by 1 point. Leonardo kicked to our 35 yard line but on the first down she intercepted our forward pass. R. B.’s line held well and Leonardo kicked to our 20 yard line. R. B. began an aerial attack attempting three passes in succession but finally kicking. Leonardo recovered but was tackled for a loss as the final whistle blew. Once more we met defeat but we hope all took it as a good sport should. We are confident that our boys “did their stuff.” As this was the last game of our foot- ball season it seems proper at this time to comment upon results. Maybe there are a lot of excuses plausible enough but let’s not try to find excuses. Let’s be above that and congratulate our team on showing their “stuff” as they did. Those boys have represented our school, and given their best; what more can we ask? Let’s forget the knocks and get ready to support them even better next year! -------o------- GIRLS BASKETBALL NOTES P. P. H. S. 8; R. B. H S 87 Nov. 21 at Red Bank. On the Y.M.C.A.
