Battling nip and tuck every mo-
ment during the hostilities, the SOM
~ersets, of New Brunswick, and the
crimson and white basketball teams
gave an interesting exhibition yes
terday afternoon which proved Of
classy calibre from whatever stand
point the game vas viewed. Marked
by brilliant passing by the locals,
wonderful dribbling by n OF the
visitors, and clever guarding of the
Perth Amboy high school duo, the
battle was about the best exhibition
in which the crimson tossers have
yet engaged.
Succop, n of the guards OF the
Somerset aggregation gave a wonder
full exhibition of %dribbling, at times
evading the entire quintet Of high
school tossers, but being prohibited
from shooting because of the amateur
rules, his work was often fruitless
since the other members of the coun-
ty sea- bunch were unable to aid
him much after he had delivered the
sphere near the Somerset goal.
Kaplowitz and Belikove deserve
much praise for their brilliant guard
ing in being able to hold Wilmot
and Cant to six field goals between
them. Their manne of breaking up

COACH

Coach Edgerton, who has done
so much or in fact everything for the
high school basketball team, will be
forced to withdraw his services from
the local knowledge factory's quintet
because of out of town business. Mr..
Edgerton regrets greatly that while
he will be in this city every now and
then, he will be unable to keep
charge Of thee rimson lot. He has set
the boys on a speedy pace and their
whole progress In due entirely to his
work In coaching the men, He will
accompany the team to Railway this
afternoon, but will not be on hand at

case will no doubt serve as an exam
pie for others.
Before Reyder showed his inten-
tons of returning to the midst of his
former team mates, the boys of the
W. H. S. clan elected Joe Cushing to
the captaincy to succeed Reyder and
despite this stars return to the
ranks, Cushing will hold his job.
Random will nc doubt be pleased to
see this clever little forward in the
honored position as he showed game
ness and Suitability in playing in
Plainfeld as well as in all the other
games in which he engaged.

Happiness again reigns in the
camp of the Woodbridge high school
basketball team and it's supporters.
Martin Reyder and Wand, conceded
to be two of Woodbridge's best has
ketba1l players, have been taken
back to the fold after resigning and
then confessing their fault to Prin-

leaving the team when they were
carded to engage in such a hard tus-

South River, Dec. 14.-After
struggling their utmost in a great
uphill battle, the Sterlings, of South
River, fell one point short of tie1ng
the score with the Mitchelins, OF
Midtown, on the Washington Park
court last night, the final tally be-
ing 1924. The locals may attribute
their defeat to poor shooting, the
forwards being off form in their at
tempts to cage the sphere from the
field. The "Tire-town" lads passed
in the style they are so well noted
for and played a consistent fast
gam.
Harry Armstrong, who played but
several minutes in the initial admin
istration spotted the center of the
shreds twice in rapid succession but
as Jimmy CANTON was given a game,
he was forced to drop out OF hos
~tilities.

With his interest alive. the desire to re-
