TIIE ROUND TABLE 21 FOOTBALL OUR TEAM Our football team is tried and true. The members, they are all true blue. Through them. Red Bank High School’s name. Is known to others and to fame. No other high school can compete. To try and beat us is a feat. Each player helps, and does his best. And that is why we beat the rest. (Exchange). The 1924 Football season proved probably the greatest that Red Bank has ever had—even greater in fact than that of 1922 when our team at- tained the Class B championship of the state. Our football team was some Team! The members played together and fought their hardest for the school. Furthermore, after an un- impressive start, the team shattered all former district records by winning seven consecutive games, and scoring 231 points against strong teams to their opponents three. Some record, eh? Then, as to spirit. The support of the student body by attending the dis- tant games as well as those at home, proved a stimulant, and an inspiration, and made the team fight all the harder. To Mr. Sieber, the credit for a very large part of the teams success is due, for it was really immeasurably due to his efficient coaching, and his injection of real football spirit into the team that the season was so successful. Mr. Smith and Mr. Lovett gave a great deal of their time and effort in training the team, and we take this means of thanking them, as well as all others who helped to make the season a successful one, both athletically and financially. Unfortunately, although Red Bank easily deserved and could win the Class B state championship, due to the fact that two other schools, Princeton and Rahway, were undefeated. Red Bank had to be content to be tied for the honor. At the annual football election “Ed” Hubbard was chosen captain for next season. The Chronological record of the 1924 football season is as follows: Red Bank 0 Asbury Park 32

Red Bank Trounces Freehold. At the county seat, the Red and Gray team, in an exhibition of splendid football, decisively defeated Freehold by the score of 37—0. Red Bank again showed improvement in this game. The backs and the line worked in perfect coordination, and the man with the ball was always given perfect interference. The short periods and penalties kept Red Bank from rolling up a greater score. Red Bank kicked off to Freehold. The county seaters had a splendid of- fensive backfield with a deceptive at- tack. They made two first downs on trick plays through the line. They were earning a third when Kaiser made a flying tackle and through the runner for a five yard loss. Freehold was forced to kick. Red Bank started a march down the field with Rice and Taylor advancing the ball behind per- fect team play. Taylor ran around of end fifteen yds. for a touchdown and Oakerson scored the extra point on a forward pass. Rice kicked to Free- hold’s 20 yard line where, after several unsuccessful plays, they were forced to kick. Rice and Taylor and Bennett again advanced to scoring distance, when Taylor scored the second touch- down. The quarter ended with the ball in Freehold’s possession. Aided by penalties Freehold made a first down, but sterling line play forced them to kick. Red Bank marched down the field and crossed the goal line again. The third period was a repetition of the first and through wonderful team play and interference, which was a feature of the game, Taylor scored a brace of touchdowns. In this quar- ter, Red Bank used her bag of tricks, and many forward passes. In the final period a long forward pass to Cooke brought the ball on the 2 yd. line. Taylor scored the final touchdown of the game. Early in this period Rice ran 80 yards, and across the goal, but was recalled because of a penalty. With about five minutes to play the scrubs were put in and per- formed creditably. The student body showed excep- tional spirit in getting to the game as they did, and cheering our boys on to victory. Chattle’s Waterloo. Oct. 31, 1924 At Long Branch, Chattle went down to inglorious defeat at the hands of our loyal followers of the pigskin oval. Since Chattle beat us 1 3—0, the pre- vious season, our long anticipated re- venge sat sweet within the mouths of
