ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Willis Hull was elected to captain
the Iroquois Jrs. in basketball and
Harry Syring was chosen to man
age the squad. The team is anxious
to meet some OF the future greats"
who boast of prowess in the popular
winter indoor sport and any team
which believes that the Redskins
cannot do things that will make
others sit up and take notice and
then some, should communicate with
the clever little manager, Harry Sy-
ring, whose address is 421 New
Brunswick avenue. The following
teams are challenged: Y. M. H. A.
Midgets, Parish House Midgets, and
Bayview Seconds. Otto Peterson
and Joe Grady will probably hold
down the forward jobs. Willis Hull
has been assigned to the pivot posi-
ton with Leo Schwartz In reserve.
Axel Lembcke and Dennis McKeon
will be seen as guards.

Second of Series.
FIRST HALF ENDED "a

Once more the Parish House
lassies failed to conquer the speedy
aggregation of South River high
school tossers yesterday afternoon
when the up-county squad admisist-
cred defeat to the Woodbridge fair
sex warriors on the Bisset court In
South River by a 9-6 score. The
battle was an interesting one and af-
forded much sport to the enthusiast
ic crowd which attended the fray.
The South River girls went at top
notch speed and it took the Parish
House team at their best to give the
Riverites so strong an argument as
they did. In fact yesterdays con-
test was the closest of the fair sex
games this season.
Miss Edith Miller, of the victor
ious clan, played a fine game as for
ward being able to evade her oppon-
ent enough times to cage the sphere
three times from the field. She also
tailed one counter from the foul
line for her crew. Neither Of the
Parishers who worked as forwards
were able to make the shreds whistle

IN FRAY, 35-6

One of the few victories which the
South River high school basketball
team has scored this season was re-
corded yesterday afternoon, when
they triumphed over the All Stars of
South River, on the Bisset court by
35-6 tally. The All Stars were
comprised of several high school and
grammar school lads. While the
exhibition was lop-sided affair,
there was considerable interest in
the game and some roofing was done
for both teams. Sewell Cathcart and
Bisset worked in commendable order
for the South River high team and
the Gray brothers featured the per-
formance of the defeated combina-
ton.

C0LORED Innings
In DARK FROCKS

Even the Futurist school OF dressing
quickly. died down. 1t left behind it a
desire on the part of many dressmakers
to employ colored Innings in order TO give
brllliancy to dark gowns. Therefore one
sees today deep purple frocks lined with
orange satin. and marine blue frocks
with purple Innings, and white satin house
gowns with japanese red Innings.
The fashion is an attractive one under
the present rule Of turning up the hens
OF skirts and coats, rolling back the
sleeves and slashing the skirt, and maxi
Ing 1t shorter in the front than in the
back. This is especially helpful to the
woman who does not look well in a
monotonous procession of somber colors.
Every woman is not familiar with this
clever handling of hens which gives a
broken line to a straight surface. 1t
was brought out first on walking skirts,
then it reached over to evening gowns,
and now Poiret has introduced 1t on
coats. II one does not wish to express
q brilliant lining in this upturned hem.
one can substitute lining of dull stripes;
and, by the way, these revolution silks
are gaining power every day. They are
not only used for Innings. but for tunics,
for the neck and wrist, and for girdles.
