Still another letter on that school
boy basketball affair. Read:
East Orange, N. J., Jan. 81.
j. P. N:
! Apropos of that Central East Or
ange game l want to state that East
Orange has no kick coming over Cen
trail teams tactics. We do object,
however, to Referee Moeler's de-
cisions and the "sportsmanlike" tao
| tics of such rooters as IAN Honest
Sportsman"
As to Cavanaugh and McDermit no
true East Orangeite approves Of their
way of roofing. 1t was, like CentraPs,
altogether too partial to the team
they wanted to win. If you have been
to any East Orange games j. p. N,
you have probably noticed that the
rooters cheer for good play no mat
ter who makes it. Did Central do
that? Not SO you'd notice it.
Did l understand you tossay Vein
ert could box better than Packey Nc
Farland? Whaddya mean?
AN E. o. SOPH.
1 understand that East Orange is
very ladylike in her roofing and that
IAN E. o. Soph" is the cheer leader
in that respect. AS regards Weinert
and Packey Mcfarland, your under
standing is probably as comprehen-
sive as is your judgment. For an
Fast Orange schoolboy you are not
so very bright, and your correspond
ence education has been sadly neg
lected. Hereafter please write on one
side of the paper only, and also pass
the word along.
Central High is in more trouble.
One of the schools supporters takes
exception to the official result Of the
basketball game in which the Central
seconds played the South Side High.
The supporters letter:
j. P. NJ:
1 would like to have my little say in
regard to the Central-Sou Side sec
ond team game last Friday at the
latter's court. kept a score Of the
game and am positive that the Cen
trail scrubs won. was not the only
one to think SO, for everyone around
me Kissed at the announcement of a
tie score. After extra play, South
Side won the contest. The way
kept the score is this: Central, Rickles
10 points, Milmoe 2, Hopkins 2, and l
int oxxyny led fAtt1if n
Side, Bernstein 8, Seidman 5, Sesker
6, Reinhart 2, and l point awarded.
This would result, Central "a, South
Side %. When / and my friends
asked the scorer, Bedford, he pushed
us aside and said that his and
Fagan's scores were official. OF
course he would call 1t tie for he
is a South Side man. I wish someone
would examine his score book and
convince me as to who is correct
A CENTRAL SUPPORTER.
Outside of writing on two sides of
the paper, the argument you present
seems to be worth attention. How
ever, 1t is very likely that the result |
will stand as announced Immediately
after the game.
