Perth Amboy evening news., 1913-01-25

In the many seasons of basketball
gone past never did a Woodbridge
high school basketball team conquer
a squad supporting the crimson and
white on a court in this burg. And
yesterdays great battle between the
mighty Woodbridge school warriors
and the Perth Amboy knowledge fac
tory tossers was no exception for the
%deafening applause of the large null
titude which crowded that spacious
Auditorium only was answered by
tornado work Of the Eggert clan
which swept the boys from the little
burg I'D the line off the field OF bat
tie a defeated band. Lost-and not
only the game but the leadership OF
the Middlesex County High School
League race-that was the rate OF
the Woodbridge team when meg
bowed before the mightier aggrega-
ton of P. A. H. S. players on the
Auditorium court yesterday after
noon by a 27-13 score.
But for the wonderful foul shoot
ing Of lanky Wand. the Woodbridge
cheering section and players would
probably have forgotten that they
were a factor in the game. BY the
WI, Wand was the onlysgarrior who
scored for the Woodbridge clan.
The most prominent of features
was the cheering of the followers OF
both teams. The strength OF the
roofing for Woodbridge came from
the north balcony where the fair sex
from the burg up the line cheered
their favorites with songs as we'll as
school yells. The crimson and white
supporters led on by John Tyroler,
made the hall rock with the thunder
ing echo of their mountain applause
and roofing. But best Of all, the be-
havious of both sections was COM
mendable and of real high school ma
ture throughout. Rivalry and the
keenest imaginable but ~friendliness
at the same time reigned.
The crimson and white band
marched out upon the battle grouid
following a "Rickety-ax" and the
Woodbridge aggregation came In for
their share of appreciation when they
paraded out upon the court.
Prof. Armstrong a graduate OF
Columbia College and a member of
the Columbia varsity FIVE of 1907.
and Van Mulchahey. of referee fame,
were the officials. Wand scored the
first from the foul line after Gold
berger missed. "Goldy" evened
things up later but Wand Gagged the
sphere from the field and then from
the foul line after Goidberger tailed
twice more from the foul line and
that was as far as Woodbridge got
OF a glimpse OF victory. So was
their big lead. The Woodbridge
camp sent rays of inspiration and
confidence into their warriors on the
battlefield, but soon the lacols over
took their former conquerors. De-
ternined and desperate, the Perth
Amboy band fought as If life depend
ed upon the result. Soon the locals
forged ahead and the coincidence,
support and faith which the large
crew Of fans placed in the crimson
and white was rewarded for victory
seemed certain.
The initial administration resulted
1913 while the final stanza was play
ed at IL to 5 odds.
1t would probably be unfair to dis
criminate but the fact that Kaplo-
WITT tailed two field goals, held Rey-
der, Woodbridge's star, to no score
and at the same time took part In
nearly every play executed, places
him above the rest. Kaplowitz was
at his best and it vas his two shots
that drew his teammates out OF close
quarters into a comfortable lead
which soon widened into a victory.
Belikove's great guirding also did
much to bring home the bacon. Pa
