SOUTH AMBOE, Nov. 16.-ln their
opening game of the season, played at
st. Mary's Hall before about COO peo-
pie, the Riversides last night defeat
ed the St~erlings, Of South River, by
A to 80 score. 1t was a great game.
Favored with all kinds of excite
ment, and featured by a nip and tuck
score in the first half.
At the end of the first half. after
Scott Burns had made a long field
goal hat broke the tie. the RiHies led
only by the margin of one field goal,
the score being 16-14. In the last
half, however, the Rivies found them
selves and forged rapidly ahead.
For the Rivies Gil Schwab, of New
ark, was the high score man. Like
the pesky flea, Gil was here, there and
! everywhere, and in the last half he
| scored six goals from the field. Hang
Thomas, q former Riverside, featur-
ed for the visitors, getting four field
goals and ten goals from foul.
Long before the game had started
! the st. Mary's Hall was jammed with
spectators, and the s. r.. O. sign was
hung out early. From Perth Amboy,
Matawan, Keyport, and Sayreyllle the
crowd hocked, not forgetting South
Amboy's own great loyal contingent of
fans.
When the Rlvies anne on the floor
in their new uniforms of Cornell red
and white, the fans rave them a great
ovation. South Amboy's fans have al
ways been loyal, and last nights wei
come to their team showed the same
great spirit of craftsmanship that has
| always been prevalent here.
Bill Reynolds blew the whistle at
about 9:20, and tossed the ball up be-
| tween Leo Malone, the Rivies pivot
man, and Hank Thomas, who felt
right at home playing on his old
court. Malone got the tap, n thor
the fun began. First one team would
make a field goal and then the other
and the foul shooting played an i'm
portant part in the nip-and-tucB
score.
The first Riverside to score was
Jimmie Canton. who is this year Cap
tain of the Rivies. And Jimmie, by
the way, looks better than he ever
was. He scored two more field goals
in the first half, and his work on the
| floor with Schwab vas good. Rufie
Allen. too, found himself. The game
little Perth Amboy school teacher
mixed himself in every play, n EN-
erged from the contest with five felt
goals to his credit. His little left hool
was working well under the basket.
The South Riverites, eaptained b,
Johnnie Fitzpatrick, the game littl'
up-county player, put up a wonder
full fight. Maleskie put up one of tht
best games he has ever displayed or
| the court, and Bobby Marks and Ep-
pinger, always hard workers, did then
Job well. 1t was a fighting team anc
