FIVE BEAT
PAR|SHERS
WOODBRIDGE Clan
Lose by Field
CoaI-35-33

Those fans who were present at
hostilities On the Parish House court
in Woodbridge last night saw n Of
the best games staged there this year.
The Somersets, of New Brunswick,
coming down with a new lineup,
were the victors and it was by but
one field goal that they were able 10
get the verdict from the Parish
House lads, who played a fine game
but had to bow before a mightier
clan.
Scodder could not hold Wilmot
down and that was the main reason
for the defeat. This college town
tosser dropped 'em through the ring
and made the shreds whistle ven
separate and distinct times while
shooting from the field. "Pete'
Campbell tried hard for the Wood
bridge aggregation, caging the pellet
six times, but because of the clever
shooting of the opposing team and
the loose guarding of his boys, Camp
BELLS work made things close but did
not carry home the bacon. Wand
and Reyder showed up in their usual
brilliant manner.
1t was an uphill battle throughout
with the Parish House squad in the
lead, but the county seaters managed
to pull so strong at the end that the

slipping, and hen no sand could stop
them either, SO to speak.

Before a small but enthusiastic
crowd the C%rescents, of Midtown,

The battle was one Of the ~cleanest

point margin, 1928.
Smith, formerly a member of the
Crescent makeup, was pitted

a great factor in defeating the Mill
town lads. He Gagged the sphere five
times from the field during the last
half. Taylor guarded in commenda-
Bile fashion, holding Charlie Crabiel
to a lone basket, while he tailed a
duo of them. Charles Junker came

Land Of Lorna Doone.

There are many who deny that there
is any historical basis for the story OF
the Doones OF Badgeworthy and that
there was ever a giant John Ridd of
Dare. But so powerful Is the romantic
influence Of Blackmore's Exmoor story
that thousands OF tourists go every
year to see the little church at Dare
and to walk or ride or Exmoor ponies
along the valley to the water slide. and,
no matter If the slide be disappointing
ly small and there be doubts about the
Doones, the fascination of the romance
will, it is safe to say, prevail for many
generations. Ridd or Red has been a

Paris was moi always as clean as 1t

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES


Today is the last day of school
this year-not of this term though.
The second team deserves credit
for its name of playing Of late.
The seconds have met some fast
teams during the past two weeks and
gave them all a hard tussle.
= y
Witnesses of the Curtis game will
agree that Warsak has the qualii-
cations of a good player. He show
ed clever floor work in his initial ap-
pearance on the court.
High school fandom was glad to
see Punk" BRIGGS listed with the
seconds in the Railway game. Since
October, Briggs has been out of the
game owing to a fractured collar
bone sustained while guarding for
the sophomores in the inter-class
series.
The two basketball squads of the
female set of the high school are
certainly doing exceptionally well in
their first games of the season. Even
the Kappa Delta's went down to de-
feat before the first crew.
High school students are fortu-
nate in having such a spacious court
to play ball on. Many did not real
ize this fact until out of town games
were played.
The varsity boys should be com
plimented for their clean playing
which they exhibit while out of town
and in the Auditorium. The local
boys have not been trained to play
football in connection with basket
ball, which seems often to be the
case with some of the teams already
encountered.
The cry of the losing team al
ways-"give us another referee, ETC.,
etc" with apologies to South
River.)
What good Mr.. Ederton did in
coaching the high school team can
easily be noticed now. The boys are
playing a different game today than
what they did previous to his COM
ing. But with his departure from
Amboy his services doubtless will be
greatly missed.
The Juniors showed their capa-
bility of acting today, when they pro-
duced the Christmas play. They de-
serve much credit for the smooth
way in which the program was car
ried off and the individual parts
taken. The singing was good.

gaements last night. They We're

The Snail and the Screw.


AS e~videncing the fact that for the
most part human inventions have been
suggested by natural objects, 1t has
been pointed out that there is an inter
esting parallel between the shell of the
snail and the ordinary screw. 1t is
thought that the idea Of the screw was
suggested by the spiral shell of the
edible snail. 1t was not the shape Of
the shell that suggested the screw, but
the spiral motion which it Is necessary
to give to the body Of the snail in order
to withdraw 1t from the shell. This At
once showed that an object Of a screw
shape imbedded in a solid powerfully
resisted attempts to withdraw 1t by q
