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.
