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.

20 THE ROUND TABLE Bennett.........F.B. . Burnett, Capt. Referee: Witson Umpire: Romweler, Peddie. Boyles: Headlinesman. Red Bank H. S. 12; Leonardo H. 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
