NJSIAA Football HistoryThe following was taken from the NJSIAA's first record book published in 1919(Note: The NJSIAA was founded in 1918, first to regulate football, then all high school sports.)FOOTBALLSummarizing competition of high and prep. schools in 1919Summarizing the results of the interscholastic football competition of New Jersey in 1919, the high school championship of the State was awarded to Barringer, ofNewark, and the prep school title to Peddie Institute, of Hightstown. In the latter case it is a noteworthy fact that this was the fourth successive time that Peddietriumphed in the prep school division, a remarkable achievement for the coach of the Gold and Blue, Earl C. MacArthur. Incidentally Peddie had the distiction lastyear of triumphing in football over its arch rival, Lawrenceville, for the first time in the history of the schools' athletic relationship. The Lawrenceville School wonthe State championship in 1912 '13 and '14. The following year, 1915, saw Blair Academy mounting the championship pedestal. Since 1916 Peddie has reignedsupreme on the prep school gridiron, its champion teamas have been captained in turn by Jones, Riggan, Anderson and Ecker. The champion teams in 1919, aswas the case the year before, were awarded handsome trophies donated by E.W. Siple, alumni secretary of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, who has showninterest in material form in the promotion of interscholastic competition in New Jersey. Barringer and Peddie, as well as the schools judged sectional titlewinners, were officially awarded the State championship by decision of the executive board of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association. In thehigh school division East Orange loomed up as a formidable contender for the State title up to the last game of the campaign. The Red and Blue of East Orangehad not only been undefeated up to that time, but its line had not been crossed by an opponent for a goal or touchdown. In the deciding game, however, EastOrange had to lower its colors to Barringer, the score being 29 to 7 in favor of the Newark team. Barringer had previously lost a 7 to 0 game to Lawrenceville andwas defeated, 21 to 0, by South Side, a game in which city league regulations deprived the losers of the services of four of their regular players, boys who wereeligible in all other games. The season revealed two undefeated high schools teams-Rutherford and Brigeton-but none of those played schedule warranting aClass A championship rating. In the opinion of the executive board, empowered to pass judgment on the championship situation, Barringer was regarded best, ofthe high school teams and consequently awarded the State title. Peddie clearly was master of the prep school division. The Hightstown team encountered onedefeat, that by a 6 to 3 margin at the hands of Gullum Hall of West Point, but the MacArthur machine triumphed over Blair and Lawrenceville, besides winningover Pennington and Newark Junior College, and played scoreless ties against the Freshmen elevens of Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania. No otherprep school team in the State equaled a record such as that. In the team rating Blair was graded second and Bordentown, third. The Military Institute team wasplaced a notch above Lawrenceville, having played through a difficult schedule and been scored upon by only one team. Easton defeated, Bordentown, 10 to 0.In the high school class East Orange was rated second and South Side of Newark third. The grading of the other schools, the first thirteen in the high schooldivision Class A and B and the first eleven in the prep school class, is show in appended lists. To give the "little fellows" a chance to shine and compete forchampionships in their respective classes, the schools were divided into Classes A, B and C, according to their male enrollment. In Class B, embracing schools withan enrollment between 100 and 300, Rutherford was awarded the championship of Northern New Jersey, Asbury Park in Central Jersey and Woodbury in SouthJersey. Atlantic City and Camden were rated on a par for Class A supremacy in South Jersey. Only in South Jersey was there a Class C competition among schoolsholding membership in the State association. The title in that division was awarded to Wildwood.GRIDIRON TITLE WINNERSFOOTBALL CHAMPIONS FOR 1919CLASS B - HIGH SCHOOLSNorthJersey . .RutherfordCentral Jersey .AsburyParkSouthJersey .WoodburyState Prep School .PeddieState High Schools .
