SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 22:-Al-
though minus the services of Gil
Schwab, their crack forward, the
Riversides last night had an easy
time defeating Company H, of Asbury
Park, the score being So to 10. The
visitors were outclassed from tho
start and played a ~listless game after
the RIVE scoring machine once start
ed rolling up the baskets.
Clancy, the much-touted hoy won
der of Asbury Park, was held score
less by Ruhe Allen, who hung up
seven baskets. The little rough-and-
ready Perth Amboyan, in the minds
of the fans. Is playing better ball
than ever in his career. He Is mixed
up In every play, II follows the ball
about the court as nimbly as q "a
Ray Handerhan, playing In place of
Schwab. was the high score mar get
ting eight field goals, several being of
a difficult variety.
When the teams clashed at the
first sound of Bill Reynolds whistle
the fans settled back in anticipation
of a hard fought contest. For a few
minutes there was a scoreless tussle
but Scooter" Burns again started the
ball a'rolling when he dropped In a
two-pointer from the center of the
floor.
Jimmie Canton threw In the next
one and made seven during the
course of the game. Sir James, too,
seems to be at his height. In former
seasons the bulk of the floor work fell
on the shoulders of Allen ana Can't
lon, but this year., with an evenly
matched team of hard workers, these
boys are getting a chance to do some
shooting themselves, and are showing
a knack of getting the t~wo-counters
in a way that is being a revelation to
some of the fans.
Leo Malone played a fine game on
the defensive. The lanky pivot man
Is always working for the teams in
terest, and not for his own score
board glory.
Schwab Is Sick
Leo Malone brought word that Gil
Schwab is in bad shape. He was In
able to play in the league contest at
Bridgeport on Thursday night and
may be out for another week. Ma
lone, however, believes that Schwab
will be able to get In the game next
Friday, but in the event that he can
not appear, Is to come to this city
with Willie Boub, another Newark
professional who is playing forward
for the National Turner's. Boub has
played great ball with the Turner's,
so much so that he has replaced
Willie O'Toole, who had formerly
been the idol of National Turner fans.
Emil Anderson, one of this years
new utility men of the RiVies. got
into the game during the last five
minutes of play. 1t was his first turn
in big company, although he made an
enviable reputation on the court at
Gettysburg College, where ne cap
| tanned the quintet. While he did not
| score the fans were pleased at the
way he plunged into the fray.
The visitors, while outclassed frtm
the start, put up a game fight in
flashes. Knox broke loose a couple
of times and Reichert came through
With three field goals in the last half.
Bob Fairy replaced Chippie Coleman
in the latter part of tho game, after
the Rutgers boy had been injured.
Coleman was hurt early in the game
but did not retire until the second
half.
Clancy's showing was a disappolnt-
mont, for this player, who Is SAID 10
be the fastest court nan the seashore
has ever turned out, did not
have a look-ln. with Rufie Allen on
his heels.
