STRONG ATTACK
TO Be MADE BY
SOUTH AMB0Y
Ropes to Keep Crowd Back
burns May Guard Can't
lon'-hew Players.
PURITAN STAR IN FRAY

That the South Afiboy A. c. will
be strong in its game tonight against
the Riverside basketball team accom-
panies the announcement OF the
teams lineup. Managers O'Toole
and Forgotson will use in the big
battle tonight the lineup which they
expect will play under the colors of
the South Amboy A. c.. for the rest
of the season. The Riversides will
use their same simple six, McCreery,
Reynolds, Allen, Burns, Regain and
Durham. When these aggregations
clash tonight the great issue of the
year for South Amboy fandom will
be decided.
A victory for the "Rivies'' means
good night and farewell, curtains
for the South Amboyans. For that
will be two straight and in which
case the O'Toole-Forgotson combine
would have to take the next three
to win the series.
The Riversides are confident, as
all their supporters are. However,
the many rooters who accompanied
the city champions when they per-
formed in South Amboy several
weeks ago will be on hand again,
for that last exhibition was the best
yet seen in South Amboy. 1t was
clean, fast and classy. The crowd
was packed like sardines are and the
throng was separated from the play
ers by ropes. Managers O'Toole and
Forgotson promise that all means Of
keeping the crowd back will be made
and the fans are urged to attend to
see the battle Of such vital import
ance to South Amboy's basketball
history this year. The Riverside
team will leave here at 8 o'clock.
From all appearances Scott Burns
will guard Jimmy Canton again.
Here are the probable make-ups:

SAYS TUSSLE
WAS TOO EASY

According to the press agent OF
the Atlantic soccer eleven, OF Totem
Vile, the game between the Island
ers Saturday afternoon on the T. A.
G. oval and the Central Y. M. c. A.,
of Brooklyn was a walk over for the
Atlantics. The score might also in
dictate that. The visitors only came
with seven men, but four out Of the
crowd OF spectators volunteered and
while the going was lively, it was
one sided. w Brabyn, of Perth Am
boy, g. Copeland, of Curtis H. S.; P.
Scott of Columbia College, were
among those who volunteered and
played. In the game Saturday,
Nelson scored four field goals and
Oxenham, Richards and Nelson, Jr.,
each tailed one.

HOW \. s. BOYS
LOOM UP AFTER
LONG LAY OFF
Boys Show Up In Classy
Style at Practlcs--Nesd
Coach Badly.
NOW EASY TO GET ONE

With the vacation days at al end
and practice hours On tap, the fol-
lowers Of the crimson and white
look forward eagerly and with much
hope to the prospects of the local
warriors. To one who is not on the
inside running of either combina-
ton, 1t would appear that the
Woodbridge high school clan is at
present more advanced than the
Perth Amboy tossers and for the
following reason: The Woodbridge
boys have been playing throughout
the long vacation and the locals have
not even practiced. However, there
are some very strong arguments to
refute this belief, one of which Is
that while Reyder and Wand were
playing, they were not working with
their school team mates. Many crit
les are of the opinion that players
are weakened In calibre when they
play with different teams. Those,
who entertain such an opinion, no
doubt hold that the crimson ath-
letes are as well fitted now, In COM
parison with the Woodbridge aggre-
cation, as they were when the vaca-
ton began.
The crimson and white combina-
noon on the Auditorium court.
They played In fine style, passing in
classy fashion and shooting beyond
unfavorable criticism. OF course,
they had but a scrub team to oppose
them, SO that the boys were not
forced to extend themselves.
One thing was lacking on. the
court. A coach-that's the thing.
Mr.. Edgerton served the boys won
derfully and he Is remembered by
all. But the locals cannot afford
to stop at that. For If Woodbridge
high school should defeat Perth
Amboy's high school basketball
team In this city-We1l, we'd rather
not speak of 1t For local fandom
knows what that would mean to this
city.
The high school needs a coach and
should get one without delay. There
Is no reason or excuse Manager Egg
CERT or Captain Rooms may give for
not procuring one. Johnny Nc

ersides, and Johnny Deegan, the

want to see this city's high school

TEAM WILL
TRIM "RIVIES"

That the Riversides, of this city,
will be pitted against the Bayonne
Y. M. H. A. on the Auditorium court
for a side bet of about $50 or more
now seems very probable. Several
Y. Nj. H. A. enthusiasts of this city
have promised to meet all the money
which the Riverside hackers will
post to hold up the city champions

and Manager Dave Wilentz, of the

ONE WHO COMPETED
IN WOODBRIDGE IS
HIGHEST IN SCORE

A report of the number of points
scored in athletic competition by
each Of the 4,323 members Of the
New York Athletic Club, n of the
leading organizations of its kind in
the world, shows that Plat Adams,
who competed In Woodbridge, leads
all his eliminates In earning points
for this club during the year 1912.
In different meets Adams, who Is
one of the greatest trackmen In this
country, captured twenty-one 1rsts,
ten seconds and eight third places,
his total point tally being 143.
Among Adams triumphs were some
in which he won worlds champion
ships and also places in the Olympic
games in Sweden last summer.
Adams, with his 143 points, is far
in front of the other N. Y. A. G.
athletes, DeGruchy being second
with SO. e. Fr1ck is third, and Nc
Dougall, the well-known amateur BIZ
cycle champion, is fourth. j. A.
Ruddy, a swimmer, is fifth, and Ben
Adams, the younger brother of Platt,
is sixth.
Ben scored seven first places, elev-
en- seconds and three thirds for a

TOTTENVILLE TO Get
THIRD OF SERIES

According to all present plans, the
next game between the Riversides
and the Tottenville A. G. will be play
ed on the knights of Pythias court in
Tottenville. The Riversides, If they
should so desire, may force the T. A.
G. to come to the Auditorium for
the next game since it was agreed be-
tween the two managers when the
five game series was planned. How
ever to make the supremacy certain,
the Riverside manager has consented
to have the next fray staged in Tot
tenville, providing Of course, salts
factory inducements are made.

made for the game as soon as the
money is posted.

KEEP BASKETBALL
CLEAN IS CRY OF
COLLEGE CRITICS

Is basketball to live on it's merits,
n will 1t eventually be abandoned
by the larger colleges now playing
the game in the east7 1t is the gen
eral impression among %collegians
that the game Is waning fast and los
ing many of its stanchest supporters.
Roughness Of play, it seems, has IN
1ured the game, but now the author
tiles are trying to doctor it up with
the avowed purpose OF saving 1t.
Just what effect the new changes
will have on the game Is provoking
attention from all parts of the coun-
try, especially from eastern quarters,
where the foundation Is not SO solid.
Make the game cleaner" has
been the slogan for several years.
The recent action of the rulemakers
indicates that the trend of their &C.
~tivities is In the above direction.
That the game will be made cleaner
this winter there seems no doubt,
provided the authorities plans do
not miscarry. The alterations which
have been made, according to the
prominent basketball men, are for
the better and come as a big step
toward winning back lost supporters.
Basketball players in the past have
played the man instead of the ball,
The usual rough play ensuing. Now
the keynote Of the rules is to play
the ball and not the man. While
no real vital changes have been
made In the code over last season,
the new rules adopted spell a reform
which should make the game much
better.
The novel scheme of numbering
the players, such as will rule this
season, appears to basketball rooters
a good idea both from the specta-
tors and officials viewpoint. With
each man wearing a six inch number
on the back of his jersey it will be
easier In the future for officials and
scorers to designate the players
who have been guilty Of committing
more than the usual number of
fouls Fouling and shady tactics of
various descriptions have been the
games chief drawback, but with the
number system In vogue now it will
be a hard matter for a player to get
away with the so-called rough house
tactics without escaping punishment.
Quicker play, too, is the rule, and
this appears to be another good
move for improvement. In these
lively days spectators demand speed
and unless they get 1t show no dis
position to enthuse. One reason
why the play should be faster is be-
cause in the future baskets will not
be tied and the ball will have free
passage through the net. Another
improvement is the rule pertaining
to fouls. After a foul has been de-
clared the referee has power to de-
clare play ten seconds after the ball
has been placed on the foul line.
This rule, it is said, should have a
good effect in creating fast play.
Basketball players in the west are
not experiencing the trouble with
rough work that has threatened to
ruin the game in the east, accord
ing to Chicago critics. The college
game In Chicago is a trife rougher
than some would have it, but the
greater number of contests, those
played in the high schools and Bible
class league, have little Of this. The
"big nine" games are not of the
gentlest, but they are clean cut.

Manager Louis Kaplowitz, of the

which will be held in the Fourteenth
Regiment Armory, Brooklyn, on the

After challenging nearly every
team in these parts, Manager Louis
Booz, of the Owl basketball team,
states that not one of his defes have
been accepted. The members and
supporters of the Owl quintet are
highly indignant over the attitude
shown their favorites for their belief

The Owls are very anxious to play
and as they have a strong lineup,
their claim that they should be given
a game, sounds strong. The River
sides have promised them one as
soon as they beat any OF the teams
in this vicinity. Manager Booz claims
that the Goodwills have not even
given his crew a date. 1t appears
that the Goodwills stated that they
had all the dates in February open
but that Manager Plass did not sub
NIT any one date as yet.
