"RIVIES" KEEP
UP GREAT WORK
Big Lead in First Half Spells Defeat to Speedy Peoples
Palace Diamond Wanderers, Of Jersey City, On Auditor
ium Court Saturday Night--FinaI Score, 1927.

To every individual member of the
Riverside basketball team who play
ed Saturday night ON the Auditorium
court belongs a share Of the spoils
of the great victory %garnered
by this crew against the Dia-
|mond Wanderers Of Peoples Palace,
of Jersey City, a team which Is rec
ognized as one of the %speediest in
this state. 1t was simply a case of
too clever and speedy passing of the
city champions that bewildered the
visitors so as to enable the cracker
jack Riverside team to sail home a
conqueror by 1927 odds.
Not once during the entire battle
did the local tossers lose their ag-
g~ressiveness and no signs of hitting
the toboggan were seen in the Riv-
erside camp. The initial periodpre-
suited 24-12 in favor Of the Reyn-
olds clan mainly because of the abil-
ity to basket the sphere when OPP
portunity afforded itself through the
brilliant passing which the city
champs are noted for.
However in the second admins
tration, the Diamond squad struck
a gait which the boys on this side
were unable to check and as a result
the Jersey City lads were successful
in outpointing the home tossers in
the final spasm, 1919. The big
lead which the "Rivies" managed to
gain in the opening half was too
much for the crack up state lads and
they went down to not an inglorious
defeat. The exhibition was fast and
was featured by the classy passing
of the Riversides throughout and
the speedy floor work Of the Jersey
City aggregation in the second Pc
Rod, and fine shots by Allen.
Although Lambert, the lanky
| pivot general of the visitors out-
| pointed Durham and was the star Of
