FAIL TO SCORE
AGAINST
NEWARK
High School Basketball
Team Shuts Out Dwight
Quintet, 81 to 0.

The Dwight High School basketball team
of New York was numbered among the VIC
tins of Newark Highs i've In the game at
the Newark Y. NJ. C. A. gym" yesterday
afternoon. The locals defeated the Gotham
quintet by the overwhelming score of 81 TO
0 In a fast and clean game. This feat OF not
allowing the opponents to score Is seldom
witnessed in a basketball game, and has
not been accomplished by any preparatory
or high school team in this vicinity in u
number of years.
The victory was a big surprise 10 the
local High School lads, for they had heard
that Dwight had a team that could go
some. The Dwight boys were fast and
passed well, but their inability to locate
the baskets and their general unfamiliar
ity with the court were the main factors
in their defeat.
Or The other hand, Newark Highs great
team work and the excellent blocking OF
Rlsler and Alverson, the local guards, made
it impossible for the visitors to make any
Roadway. For the first three minutes OF
play everyone was on edge with excite
ment. At first the Dwight boys passed all
around the local lads, but after several UNI
successful EMBARRASSING long tries at the
goal the Newark guards secured the ball
and sent it down the court In the vicinity
of their goal. The leather seesawed up
aud down the court in this fashion for
fully three minutes, when finally Raymond
Smith dropped a pretty field goal from
under the basket. This broke the ice for
the locals, and when the whistle sounded
for the end of the first fifteen minutes OF
play the score board read "a to 0, with
Newark on the big end.
In tho final period Newark went into the
game determined that the visitors from
New York should not score. The clever
local guards carried this part of the pro-
gram out to the letter, for at no time did
a Dwight High School player come close
enough to the basket to assure a good shot
at the goal. All Dwight's shots at the
baskets wera long ones, while Newark
scored all their goals from under the bas'
ket or a few feet from the iron ring.
Captain Fred Soldiers all-around worl
and gonl shooting was a feature. Seidle'
led the Newark team In the scoring line
caging the ball thirteen times for a tota
OF 2G points. Banmann came next, anC
although he only participated in the see
ond half, he succeeded in caging the bal
five times for as many deuees. The play
ing of Captain Tucker. White and Meye'
was a feature of the Dwight fve's work

at present are leading the Rangers IN
the race by three points. but as the

Johnny Oliver. the manager of Tommy
Murphy, announced last night that his
protege had strained n ligament in his left
leg, and would. therefore. be unable to
meet Packy Mcfarland. the Chicago light
weight. I'm their scheduled engagement at
Boston next Tuesday. Coming as this does
almost on the eve of the fight, it means a
big disappointment for the ring fans who
expected TO see a great battle.
Murphy, according to Oliver, was boxing
with BILLY Grupp at the New Polo GYM

Grupp is pretty big. and in a clinch he
switched Murphy so strenuously aside that
the Harlemite fell to the floor. He said
he had hurt his leg, and Oliver used the

game on the cadets court yesterday, by
the score of AZ to .. Fast work
was in evidence from the start Of
the contest, but passing was blocked so
we'll but little could be done in the way of
shooting for several minutes. After a
while, however, the Montclsir boys broke
loose and, with remarkable accuracy,
began TO score baskets At the end of the
first half the score was &c to 0 In favor of
the home team. In this half Hazel. w.
Partridge and Van Hoesen did most of the
shooting. while Fl. Partridge excelled in
blocking.
Captain Van Hoesen was replaced by
Fountain and Walden took II. Partridge's
place in the Montclair llreup. The substi-
tutes did well and the Montelair boys all
kept up the fast pace. Much to the relief
OF the Plainheld boys, who feared a shut
out, Martin managed to cage the ball not
long before the call >of time.
