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-

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. Chattle got the extra point on a fake kick. Chattle kicked off to Hartman who made but a short gain. Hartman netted 6 yards off tackle and Sloss made first down. Branin was again thrown for a loss when Marthens failed to take his man out. Hartman made 8 yards and Branin punted. Nestler again nailed Marks in his tracks. Here the quarter
