CENTRAL DEFEATS
RUTHERFORD HIGH
High School Team Makes Up
for Defeat Early in the
Season.
LEFTKOWITZ LEADS MATES

With passing game that kept it's
opponents bewildered, Central High
school defeated Rutherford High
School yesterday afternoon on the
'~central court by a score of So to %.
The game was the second Of a home
and home series, and the Central VIC
tory was most timely, as the High
street quintet lost the first contest
on the Rutherford court. This is the
lone defeat sustained by Central this
-sason. To add to the sting of the
b ting at Rutherford, st. Benedicts
went there week later and defeated
the same team that had defeated the
Centralites. Had Central beaten st.
Benedicts because the latter had an
off day." was the cry raised. But
Central's win yesterday disproved
this contention.
The Central boys started off with a
rush. The same plan of attack as
, that used against st. Benedicts was
in force. Lehrhoff was shifted to
centre in an effort to check the
scoring ability of Johnny Whitehill,
the Rutherford pivot. The combina-
ton worked well, and the Centralites
passed all around the visitors. The
score at halftime read 81 to 8.
In the second half Whitehill and
Hillhouse found themselves and
Rutherford boosted its score 20
points. Meanwhile, Central contin-
ued it's rousing game and netted 20
points.
Rutherford and Central Offered a
great contrast in weight. Hillhouse,
the 6 feet inch all-scholastic full
back guarded little. Abramson, who
ducked in and out for two baskets
until replaced by Kruger. Leftko-
WITT led the Central scoring with a
total of II points, all but one of
which were netted on field goals.
Lehrhoff managed to tally IA points,
although confronted with the diff
cult task of guarding Whitehill. The
latter secured six field goals and
three free throws. The summary:

Barringer put up an unexpected

He tailed nine free throws and two

Eddie Gagnier, who was drafted
from the Tigers by the Brooklyn Club

of Joe Tinker, who is holding out.
Had Tinker signed with the Brook

Now, however, it looks as though he
would get regular berth at short

Gagnier, it is said, has been offered
a substantial increase in salary, and
