Raab made the extra point by drop- kicking over the bar, making the score 7—0 in Asbury’s favor. Rice and Bennett made gains through the line but Red Bank was unable to make a first down. The next two plays brought another first down, and the ball was on Red Bank’s 10 yard line. Moyna went thru the line for As- bury’s second touchdown. On the try for the point Bennett made through Asbury’s line and block- ed the kick receiving the full force of the kicked ball against his stomach. Rice received the kick-off and ran the ball back 27 yards, but fumbled. The ball was recovered for Red Bank by Jeffry. On the next play Bennett fumbled and Asbury recovered the ball on Red Bank’s 37 yard line. After several plays the ball again approached. On the first down Raab scored a touchdown through center. Moller brought up the try for goal by reaching up and blocking a perfect kick. The score was then 13—0. Oakerson took Sweel’s place, Mart- inson that of Jeffry, while Asbury also sent in several substitutes. Rice received the kick-off and made a spectacular 30-yard run through al- most the whole Asbury team but was driven off side. Red Bank started to gain and Taylor sent a long pass to Rice who after a long run was tackled just as the half ended. The second half began with the usual line up of both teams, with the exception of Oakerson who remained at quarterback. Red Bank received the ball but did not have it long as Silverstein intercepted a long pass from Rice to Taylor and ran to Red Bank’s 20 yard line. Wilson and Moyna, by end runs, made first down, and Silverstein forced his way over the line for a touchdown. Raab failed to make the extra point. Rice received the kick-off and ran to Red Bank’s 20 yard line. Wilson made a first down and after a few more gains brought the ball over for Asbury’s fourth touchdown. Raab successfully drop-kicked and made the third quarter end with the ball on Asbury’s 41 yard line, third down and seven to go. The last quarter began with a strong Asbury attack. Moyna made first down through center. The next few moments were the most exciting of the entire game. Tay- lor passed to Rice from the 35 yard line, and Rice reached Asbury’s 8 yard line after a thrilling run. Rice was driven off side. Oakerson made 5 yard line through center to Asbury’s 3 yard line. The crowd was wild. It was a second down and the goal to go. Rice was thrown for a seven yard loss. On the fourth down Taylor received the ball and made a thrilling end run, but when he was already on Asbury’s goal line the ball was forcibly knocked from his hands away over the goal line and received by an Asbury player. The touchback did not count for Red Bank. The ball was taken to Asbury’s 20 yard line and the game ended shortly, the Red Bank rally not amounting to anything.

TIEE ROUND TARLE 17 BASKETBALL The girls practice basketball Mon- day and Wednesday afternoons. This year a great number of enthusiasts have come out to the practices. Better school spirit could not be shown. Miss Loux is a very good coach and the girls are rapidly progressing. The schedule is not completed yet, but about nineteen games will be played. Then come out and support the team! FOOTBALL Soon after the fall term began, a call was issued for football candidates. About thirty fellows reported for prac- tice, including a number of last year’s varsity players. Practice was long and tedious, and often lasted until after six o’clock. Coaches Seiber and Smith have work- ed hard to develop a fast team. Its efficiency is reflected by the way in which the team played the first three games with Asbury Park, Westfield and South Orange. Although the team is light, it is rec- ognized as a promising contender for the Class B state championship. To reach the goal however, the team must have the encouragement of the student body in its attendance and cheering at the games, both at home and away. If you want to instill some spirit into your tranquil soul play football. Of course you girls cannot, but you can come out to the games as well as the boys. Remember that school spirit of 22, when Red Bank had the best Class B in the state. Rally round the team! —o— With the first three games played the remaining schedule is as follows: Oct. 24—Freehold at Freehold Nov. 1—Long Branch at L. B. Nov. 8—South Amboy at home Nov. 15—Lakewood at home Nov. 22—Toms River at T. R. Nov. 27—Leonardo at home. All home games are played on the Knollwood field. R. B. H. S. vs. ASBURY Red Bank lost her first game to Asbury Park as was expected, but only after a keen struggle. The Red and Gray actually surprised several foot- ball authorities by holding Asbury Park, which is the leading contender for Class A state championship to the score that they did. The Asbury eleven out-weighed our boys by about 20 pounds per man. In the first quarter Asbury won the toss and choose to defend the east goal. Red Bank kicked off. The ball was in Asbury’s possession most of the time, but they lost it three times, being unable to make the necessary first

Touchdowns: Asbury 5; Red Bank 0. R. B. H. S. vs. Westfield On October the 1 1 th, Red Bank overcame a strong eleven at Westfield by a score of 14—0. The game was hard but cleanly fought all the way through. During the three quarters and a great part of the fourth it threatened to remain a scoreless tie. The game was evenly matched, al- though the Westfield team greatly out- weighed our eleven. Red Bank's tally came in the last few minutes of play. First, when after a steady march down the field Rice made a touchdown on a forward pass from Taylor. The next scoring play came when Taylor inter- cepted one of Westfield’s many long passes. He ran 35 yards for a touchdown being splendidly assisted by Moller who neatly disposed of all would-be tackles, one of whom held Taylor by the arm. Moller played his usual brilliant game at tackle, while the entire Red Bank team played together. After the defeat by Asbury, the Red Bank boys vowed they would not shave until after their first victory. They entered the game against West- field with a weeks stubble on their faces. Red Bank had the ball a few yards the second quarter from Westfield's goal, but at an exciting moment the whistle blew for the end of the first half. Red Bank’s victory raised its status since Westfield rated highly on account of its overcoming battles. The sportsmanship of both the Red Bank and the Westfield teams was evi- dent throughout the game. 1 he Westfield supporters showed splendid school spirit even when their team was loosing. And the Red Bank team also had a large number of root- ers there. Red Bank Line Up: R.E., Cooke; R.T., Moller; R.G., Jeffery; C., Wilson; L.G., Martinson; L.T., Kaiser; L.E., E.
