Scores Touchdown

BY Special Correspondent.
SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 22:-By a
brilliant end run Charlie Shinn
placed his team in a position to
make the only score against Me-
tuchen in a game played Saturday
afternoon. After getting the ball
to within three yards of the goal
post Shinn carried it cross He
then kicked the goal. The game
ended with the score 10.
The field was in poor condition.
Mud kept the men from showing
much speed. Amboy's score was
made in the second quarter when
Shinn running outside his interfer-
ence crossed the goal line. 1t was
found, however, that he went out
of bounds at the three-yard line, so
the ball was brought back and Shinn
carried 1t over in a dashing center
rush. In the previous period Shinn
intercepted a forward pass and was
well on his way to the goal when
he slipped in the mud and fell.
This was the second game this
season between the Luke A. Lovely
Post team of this city and the Me-
tuchen Field Club. Two weeks ago
these two teams played a scoreless
tie at the latter's field. 1t is prob

was much weaker. "Micky" Hoff-

games in the backfeld. "Rufie"

getting almost impossible tackles.

AMbOY FIVE
KEEPS WINNING
Score 44-23 Victory Over
FernWood Team of Brook
Iyn in Fast Game Here.

The Amboy representative bas-
ketball team scored a 44-23 victory
over the Fernwood Big Five of
Brooklyn on the Auditorium court
saturday night before the biggest
crowd of the season. The game was
a great deal more interesting than
the score would indicate, the result
being due to Amboy's luck In shoot
Ing from the field, and the inability
of the visitors to make good a rea-
sonable number of their foul tries.
Lou Reilly and Hank" Thomas,
of the local team, alone scored a
victory rel the Brooklyn represent
atives on total points, the two Am
boy high score men accounting for
t~hirty-two points. Reilly scored nine
field goals and Thomas three field
and eight foul goals in this game.
Adams with foul field and one foul
goals vas high scorer for the visit
ing combination.
Freddy Glochau, star local bas-
ketball tosser, was given a chance
Saturday night by Manager Man
ming, and the fans feel reasonably
sure that he made good. Glochau
substituted in the absence of Dave.
1t Is likely with Glochau in his line
up as a regular Manning would
have a better drawing card and a
better dll-dfOunu team especially
for games played On the local court.
The Fernwood team proved a real
attraction and with one man shoot
ing fouls they should put up a bet
ter game against Manning's outfit.
The score at the enc of the first
half stood 24-10 in favor of the
home boys. At the start of the Sec
ond half the visitors started a rush
which brought them close to Amboy,
but the local defense ended the rally
and again drew away from their
opponents. The Brooklynites made
good three foul goals out of nine
teen tries, Amboy eight out of thir-
teen.
