Elizabeth Firm will Probably

The Morey-LaRue Laundry Com
pany, of Elizabeth, which has' been
trying for some time to establish a
branch station in this city, is to make
still greater efforts. For nearly two
years the company has been searching
for a’suitable building in'this city, it
is stated, but none could be found and
the water supplied being of an infer
ior quality, the branch wasjiot estab
lished.
Now that better water is preused
and a building well adapted to laun
dry purposes is to be had, it is very
probable that the station will be loca
ated here. Mr. Hope, the local repre
sentative of the firm, confirms the re
port that the laundry may establish a
branch here shortly.

VICTORY AND DEFEAT
MARKS OPENING OF
FOOTBALL SEASON.
Forum Downed the Ti tangles of
the New Brunswick Y. M. C. A.
— Good Game and Local Boys
were Cheered Heartily...
Played in Excellent
Form--A Prosperous
Season Ahead.
The Forum football team journeyed
to New Brunswick Saturday afternoon
where they defeated theTriaugle foot
ball team, which is part of the New
Brungwick Young Men’s Christian
Association, by a score of 10 to 5.
The day was an ideal one. The breeze
was strong and the Foru m banner
floated out in triumph. The field had
the appearance of a battle between
gladiators. Once the game was on,
evreything was excitement. Between
the cheering of the crowd the crash
and thud of the rush lines could
plainly be heard in all parts of the
field. The Triangles put a strong
eleven on the fieldand one that started
out to wn, but the Forum outplayed
them at every point of the game.
The game commenced at 3.30 o’clock
when New Brunswick kicked off. It
was caught by Herbert Crillis, who
advanced it to the fifty yard line.
Perth Amboy then lost the ball on
downs. New Brunswick got the Dig
skin and tried to push if for the
touchdown. Before Amboy could pull
together a goal was kicked from the
field by New Brunswick. This was
the end of the first half and the score
stood 5 to 0 in favor of New Bruns
wick.
In the second half the Forum braced
up considerably when Coach Shelley
made his appearance on the gridiron,
aim py sreauy ena piays ana nara
backing carried the ball np the field,
and Herbert Woglom went over the
line for a touchdown. The ball was
then placed in the center of the field
and left gnard Peck, of the Forum,
kicked off. New Brunwick was
downed before they coaid advance
very far and Amboy beean pushing
down the field and this time Peck
went over the line for a, touchdown.
The second half ended before another
touchdown could be made. The score
was 10 to 5.
The principal features of the game
were Beers’ line buckiug, Hartman
and Gillis’ end running, Kipp at cen
ter, and Gillis' tacking. When the
big crowd tnat accompanied the For
um from Perth Amboy to New Bruns
wick, to see the game, heard that the
Triangle had been downed they
cheered loud and long. The local
boys hope soon fo* another game with
the New Brunswick team.
After the game Rober Kipp repotted
the loss of a sweater, almost new.
The manager of the Forum also re
ports the loss of a flue football.
The following is the lineup of the
Forum and their positions on Satur
day: Center, Robert Kipp; right
guard, Herbert Woglom; right tackle,
Arthur Colyer; right end, U. Gillis;
left guard, Peck; left tackle, Virgil

Points—End Plays
were the Feature.
The High School boys returned Sat
I urday evening without tlieir expected
j victory over Rutgers Prep, but they
i have, however, the satisfaction of
; knowing that they have considerably
lowered the score of a game played
; two years ago between teams frotn the
| to institutions. Then tne score was
j 44-0 favor of the others. Saturday it
came down to 12-0 and when the re
turn game is played it is hoped to
even matters still more.
High School played an excellent
game find played for all they were
wortiy until the whistle sounded for
the ^nd of the second half. The
halyes weie fifteen minutes and ten
minutes. Rutgers kicked off to Am
boy and Wight took the ball mad car
ried it back nearly to the center of
1 the field. After the first few downs
| it became evident that Rutgers’ sup
| eriority in weight would prevent*
j much line bucking by Amboy. 8ev
| eral attempts were made to break
| through the line, but the gains thus
| obtained Bwere small and the High
I School boys played tlie ends more.

Rutgers made a touchdown near tbe

stood 12-0 against the Amboy team.
Amboy played a great game. No
tumbles or muffs are recorded and the
goals lost were dne to sheer inability
to hold back greater weight. This is
the Gigli School’s iirst game and
great credit is dne them for their ex
