~ LAYING in something like the
~ form which marked the High
Il school games a year ago. the Ii
gers defeated the Feldmans in an in
terestinE II a bit one-sided game Of
basketball at the Y. NJ. c. a. on We'd
nesday night by a score Of AZ to 20.
The students did much better than at
any previous time this season They
had a real combination and they
worked IL to the limit while the pho
tographers had their combination all
broken up by the absence Of VIII Race.
They tried Max Roberts and Earl Coch-
rane In the vacant position but neither
had chance for much practice in team
play and the clever plays went "flooey''
just when the critical moment came.
The victory Of the "Hf' indicates
that the students are still going to
be In the pennant race. Interest now
centers in the game next Saturday
night between the Cactus club and the
WalZ five At present, Cactus leads
the league with Wall second and Hi"
third. II Walk wins on Saturday night.
there will be a tie for first place. De-
spite the fact that Wall beat HI the
students viii all be out in force to root
for Phil HOlzman's men against the
club team for a defeat for Cactus will
make the students chances all the
brighter.
Too Many Fouls.
The one bad feature Of the game on
Wednesday night was the large num-
Der Of personal fouls committed by
the Tigers. They were aggressive TO
2 fault and while referee Phil Holz-
man was lenient with them. a total of
ten personal fouls was called on the
team. personal foul is called for
rough play and four disqualify a play
er. Chris Fox piled up three in the
first ~ minutes OF play and was there
after a fairly good boy. He escaped
further penalty. Al Tatum also had
three personal fouls and Palmer Schu-
macher two. Bob Bryant, who is really
one OF the toughest players in the
league, though not Intentionally so,
got by with one. Bob is husky young
fellow and when he bumps into 4
lighter man it isn't Bryant who has to
give way.
Bryant's Shooting, Is Feature.
The shooting Of Bob Bryant was
bright feature of the game He was
Ia remarkably good form and scored
on seemingly impossible chances.
Cooper McKamy ran him a close race
for the scoring honors- Tatum con-
tTibuted IS points. The real stars of
the High were Schumacher and Fox.
These two players put up a wonderful
game at guard. intercepting the Field
man passes and breaking up scores
Of plays
Sag Shea was the star OF the Field
mans but too much reliance was placed
on him by his team mates. They often
lost a chance to shoot in an effort 10
pass 10 Shea. Cliff Anderson did good
work as the other forward while Jim
my Kilburn was in all the plays Earl
Cochrane didn't work in with the others
at guard but viii do better with more
practice. He was replaced by Max
Roberts in the second period. Max,
too. Is a newcomer TO the team but
shows some skill Lamar Thomas
played a strong game at guard
Roberts Has To swap Jerseys.
When Roberts went into the game I
in the second ueriod, he was attired in I
red jersey. instead OF the regular /
orange and white colors OF the Field /
mans Roberts scored n field basket l
and a protest was made by captain l
Tatum and coach Evans, OF the High /
school They insisted that Roberts /
should be attired in the regular Field ,
man colors. Roberts had to go TO the 1
dressing room and trade jerseys with 4
Cochrane.
But where the matter showed up in 4
an unsportsmanliRe light for the "Hi'
was when coach Evans sent Scotch
