Passaic (N. J.) High School scored its 125th consecutive basketball victory, defeating Englewood (N. J.) H. S. 69 to 21. Through four and a fraction seasons this extraordinary institution has been invincible on the court. Nor have their opponents been judiciously selected for their inability. Four open state championships are credited to their competence.
Two figures are prominently connected with this unparalleled record. The lesser is C. W. Foley, Passaic sportsman, who adds official cognizance to their success by the periodic presentation of loving cups. He presented one for the 100th victory; one for the 125th ; has offered another for the 150th.
The major occupant of this sporting spotlight is Ernest A. Blood, coach—popularly known as “Prof.” Probably no coach in any sport can point to more conclusive proof of training and inspiration than can Prof. Blood.
