The Nazareth A. A. came through the game with Coplay with a fairly complete team. Don Heekman suffered a broken noise in one of the rushes and the full back and coach, Charley Heath, Is nursing a split rib. Jerry Knecht who suffered a twisted leg Is all right again, his injury being of a slight nature. These injuries would not seriously affect tbe team as Heath has gathered a second string of crack players so tbat sub- r<tituting hardly weakens his I'ne- up In any way. On Sunday the locals will meet the North Ends ot PhtUlpsburg. This will be a tough contest as Phillipsburg will send an eleven composed of old high school grid- ders, men who have had football coaching and who know the game. .Vazareth tripped the Jerseymen last year and tbe boys trom across the river are looking tor a come¬ back this year, so that tans may expect a real battle when these two teams meet. The work of the Nasareth boys on Sunday looked very good. They have asslmllateif their plays and work them with speed and precision. Tbis coupled with team work made them look like a very strong aggregation. A heavy line with power to stop their opponents gives every opportunity to the backfleid to get their plays into execution in good shape. Just what Phillipsburg may offer is a question but reports Indicate that the locals are in tor a hard Job. The crowd last week at Klefer'} fleld was large'but the management of the Nasareth team complained of a poor gate and Heath announc¬ ed Monday evening that it may be necessary to drop football if there is not a better flnanclal support. and Butts, the following bills were ordered to be paid as read: A.
