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.

18 TITE ROUND TABLE downs. The quarter ended with the ball in Asbury’s possession on Red Bank’s 14-yard line with one yard to go for the first down. In the second quarter Asbury forced the ball over the goal in two plays. Wilson making the score on a six yard run around the right end. 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.

20 THE ROUND TABLE The game was not as easily won as the score indicates, although Red Bank was very superior to the South Orange team. In the first quarter Red Bank ran up a big enough lead to win, by Taylor scoring a touchdown on Red Bank’s first play on a spec- tacular 55 yard run around right end. He dodged, shoved off many would be tacklers, and nobly assisted by inter- ference of the whole team, went through the whole South Orange eleven. On the first play the next time Red Bank had the ball. Rice also made a touchdown by a splendid run around right end for 20 yards. The other touchdown won by Ben- nett, the other by Rice, resulted from line plunges and long end runs. Moller shone brilliantly again by his wonderful work on the defense, and his effective help on the offense. Both Kaiser and Jeffry played a strong, steady game against much heavier op- ponents. Kaiser recovered a South Orange fumble at a critical moment of the game. Very few plays were successful around his end, as he always managed to locate past his opponents and down the runner or break up passes. Wilson’s, Taylor’s, and Bennett’s defensive work was also a feature of the game. Oakerson chose plays wisely, and deserves much credit for the victory. Probably the tensest moment of the game was when South Orange threat- ened to score by advancing to Red Bank’s one yard line by a number of first downs, and being held 3 downs by the unbreakable Red Bank line. This was South Orange’s only chance to score as she never, at any other time, had the ball past Red Bank’s 45 yd. line, mainly playing on the defen- sive. The spirit shown by our student body in this game spurred the team to victory. Such spirit won a cham- pionship in ’22 and if spirit wins games, we ought to beat Yale. Red Bank S. 0. Irwin L.E.
