BARRINCER FIVE
SPRINGS SURPRISE
ON ST. BENEDICTS
BY SURE SHOT.

TN q contest that was fast and ex-
citing from bell to bell, the Newark
High School basketball quintet took
the first of a series of games from the
e. Benedict College rive by the score
OF 81 to 20, at the Barrtnger gymnasium
yesterday afternoon. The result was a
great surprise. The High street five
showed a deplorable weakness when
Harry Henninger, their crack forward.
turned his mike in the second half.
Though he gamely came back he
could do no more than stand near his
goal and wait to be fed" but 1t was
of no use, as his teammates couldn't
get the ball away from their opponents.
The contest was started In whirl-
wind fashion. The Saints" looked like
"world-beaters" during h first few
minutes.
The High School quintet soon got in
motion and within a few minutes a
passed the Saints" The first period
ended with the score as follows: New
ark High 20, st. Benedicts II.
Both 1ves swept open the final half
with a rush. The Saints" tried hard
to overcome the lead, but it was use
less, as the home teams familiarity
with the ''iron-rim' enabled them to
further Increase their lead.
The work of Reimer for the High
School team was excellent. The Bar
ringer forward made six baskets and
four free throws, tallying nearly half
of his teams points. His performance
throughout the whole game was re-
markable, and even the most ardent
supporter OF the opposing team was
forced to hand the little wonder" a
few words Of praise. Maxwell shared
honors with Reimer for Newark High,
while Henninger and Jones figured
prominently In the game for the St.
Benedicts.
