Although interest in local and
county basketball games has been
attracting the attention of a major
ity of the followers of the court
game in this section the past several
weeks, there are many who have
been following the activities of
Perth Amboy's greatest basketball
star, David Hank" Thomas.
Thomas has performed with the
Greenville team in the New Jersey
State League, an organization which
boasts of some of the greatest court
stars in New Jersey, in seven games
this season. UP to the present time
Hank" who is occupying a forward
position, holds the lead in high
point score for his team and is one
of the first five high scorers in the
entire circuit. In addition to this
the local court star holds the record
for high score in one game, being
credited with making ten field goals
in one contest.
The Greenville team, 1t appears,
has finally hit it's stride judging from
the showing made in the last two
games. The most recent victory of
this team was scored over the league
leading and previously undefeated
Harrison team. AS is the case with
MANY teams in the Eastern league,
New York state league, organiza-
tons similar to the New Jersey state

chine Playing First Game
Tonight

Bob Risley, former st. Benedict
prep school star. will be the main
cog in the machine of the Wood
bridge knights of Columbus basket

night in a game against the strong
Orange Big Five. The contest. the

Trainer of the Caseys, will be played

court and will start promptly at .
o'clock.
Around the former Newark lad is
formed the representative team of
the Woodbridge council. and il is
expected that all Woodbridge boys
will be found in the other positions
on the quintet. There were many
Woodbridge basketball tossers who
performed on light senior teams
last season in great fashion, anu
who should be able to deliver the
goods with heavier teams this year.
The lineup of the Orange team
which net defeat at the hands of
the Speedway on the Audi
torium our in this city some time
ago, will probably be chosen from
the following players, Evans, Fede-
rici, Frain, Angolin, Marenghi and
| Mccartney. The Speedway combina-
ton defeated this team by a ter
point margin.
The Casey players expected Il
| make a real bid for the champion

ed on the Raritan Copper Works

perienced coach will be on hand to-
night to aid the team in preparing
for Sundays game.
The Rosebank combination recent
ly played a scoreless tie game with
the Beauvais Post American Legion
team of Tottenville. The showing of
Manager Burke's team against the
Stats Post representatives will give
some idea of the strength of the Tot
tenville and Knights of Columbus
teams. The Tottenville legion team
and the local Caseys are scheduled to
meet on the gridiron on Thanksgiv-
ing afternoon in the first game of a
sectional series.

SHADOAN DISCOVERED
BY HARVARD COACH

Ca nyou imagine a Harvard coach
assisting in the degeat of the Grim
sor team?
An echo from the Centre College
game makes it see mthat Ned Ma
han, former Harvard sta and now
coach of the BACK field, played such
a role.
One Of the features of Centre
Colleges play in the Harvard game
was the work Shadoan. 1t seems
thta Mahan discovered Shadoan
while the latter was playing tackle
for an A. E. F. team in France.
In conversation with Coach Moarn
one day. he casually told what a
great player Shadoan seemed TO be.
despite the fact that he had never
been coached in line play. Evident
" he then forgot about the matter.
Not Charley Moran. He at once
looked up the home address of Sha-
doan. Strangely enough, he dis
covered that Shadoan came from
the same town as Red Roberts,
one of his regulars. The rest was
Easy. Shadoan reported and imme-
diately won a regular berth for
himself. His work in the line
against Harvard could hardly have
been improved on.
The moral of this story is: If
Shadoan was so good that Mahan
had to tell the world about 1t, why
not slip him to Harvard?

COLLEGE FIVE
At THE PLAINS
Scheduled to Play Beauvais
Post Quintet Saturday
Night

The strong College five of Brook
Ign will oppose the Beauvais Post
American Legion basketball team
OF. Tottenville in a game on the
pleasant Plains Court Saturday
night. The Brooklyn outfit is said
to have a real record to date this
season. and should furnish inter-
esting opposition in this game.
Manager Benning's combination
hopes 70 make up for the defeat
melted out by the Tappen Post team
of Stapleton, s. l., last Saturday
right. This was the second game On
Tho schedule Of he Tottenville le-
Tg.on team. the first game ending in
a victory for Bennins's combina-
ton yer the Staten Island Trian-
6les.
The lineup of the Brooklyn team
for this game has rot been an
nounced at yet. but the Tottenville
team is scheduled to take the court
in the following fashion: Preacher
and Covell, forwards; La Forge,
center, and Price and Sher, guards.
1t is probable that the Totem
vile combination may play a num-
Der of teams in this county in the
near future. The team managed
by Charley Hilker and composed of
Preacher. Soige, La Forge, Price
and Sher defeated the Speedway
combination of this city twice last
season, and also played several
good games with the Harmony
team, another local combination.

READY
FOR WEST Va.
Closing Game of Season Will
be Played Saturday at
New Brunswick

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. IL
Rutgers has entered upon its final
week of football and extensive prep
arations are being made for the clos
ing game with West Virginia here
Saturday. The rivalry between these
the past five years. during which
Ave contests have been staged. Rut-
gers has yet to win a game. Rela-
tons were started in 1916 when the
two elevens fought to a scoreless
tie. and during the following season
no decision was reached in a TT
game. No contest was played in
1918, but in 1919 the Mountaineers
invaded Nelson Field with Rodgers.
the All-American fullback, and re-
turned south with a 80 to Z victory.
Again last season they won a II to
0 decision at M~orgaptown.
The Scarlet's 21 to Z victory over
New York University last Saturday
nannot be taken as an improvement
In the Sanford coached team. During
the initial period Rutgers played
fairly good ball, but In the second
period Coach Sanford's pupils only
once displayed their true ability.
This was when Weinheimer. the Vio-
let leader. got away on a fake play
and carried the ball to the five-yard
line. Here Rutgers held N. Y. U. for
downs. Assistant Coach Kelly con-
tinually substituted new men so that
only a few players were able to get
fully in the game. Coach George
Foster Sanford was so certain of his
teams victory that he went to New
Haven and watched his former team,
Yale. trounce Princeton.
All present indications are that
both teams are of about equal
strength.
At the start of the season Lehigh
defeated Rutgers and a few weeks
later West Virginia succombed to a
setback from the same organization.
The week following each of these de-
feats West Virginia and Rutgers
scored victories over Washington
and Lee. Last Saturday West Vir-
ginia defeated the University of Vir-
ginia. Z to 0.

WIN
OPENING CANE
Beat Holy Cross Outfit in Well
Played Game at South
River

The Sterlings of South River
opened their home eason last night,
the first senior basketball game in
South River in six years, by taking
the scalp of the crack Holy Cross
team of Trenton in a hard fought
game by a score of 1925. The game
was well attended by fans from New
Brunswick, South River and Sayre-
Vile who were DESTROYS of seeing
the borough's contender for the
county title in action.
To "Cap' Meury, captain OF the
Rutgers College team of two years
ago, goes the credit for winning this
contest. His foul shooting during
the latter part of the first half and
the second session, and his sensa-
tional shooting from the field in the
last five minutes of play, put the
game on ice for the South River
combination.
The Fitzpatrick, Meury. Maleski,
Anderson and Eppinger combination
is bound to work in real style as the
season progresses. and South River
will once again be on the map in
county basketball circles. The Tren-
ton outfit had a Peal combination on
the court, and but for Meury's squirt
in the last half would have carried
off the honors.
At the end of the first half the
Sterling team was on the short end
of a 20-12 score. Father McCloskey
refereed the game.
The score:

Camp Vail Eleven Will Play
TottenvilIe Legion
Team

This Sunday afternoon the stiti
undefeated Beauvais Post American
Legion football team, gridiron repre-
sentative of Tottenville, will engage
the strong Camp Vail eleven of Lit
tie Silver in a game on the Totem
Vile grounds. The game is sched-
uled to get under way promptly at 3
o'clock.
The Camp Vail soldier team. ac-
cording to reports received from
South Jersey, has not been scored on
this season. This team is said &c
have played some of the leading
teams in this state, as well as a
number of representative combina-
tions from other camps.
Interest in the record set up BY
the Tottenville team this season has
been renewed, it is believed, by the
announcement that a series with tbs
Knights of Columbus football team
has been closed. Fans from Totten-
vile and vicinity who came out to
witness the legion team in action al
the start of the season viii surely
come out again this Sunday after
noon to judge the present day
strength of the team on the we OF
the sectional clash.

WILLARD NO MATCH
FOR JACK DEMPSEY

The very latest in boxing circles is
that Jess Willard is to meet JACK
Dempsey in the spring.
II the public falls for that match,
it will prove beyond a doubt that
Barnum was right.
Dempsey has already conclusive
~ proved that Willard is no match
for him. A second meeting between
the two would simply emphasize the
fact.
Il is difficult to advance a logical
argument for the proposed bout.
Possibly all connected might profit
financially. Money with a great many
people is the big reason. However,
for the match to be a success. the
public must prove that Barnum was
right. A good many fight fans are
rather skepticaI about Wizards abil-
ity as a fighter.
Willard is said to have plenty Of
money. If such is the case, then
finances have nothing TO do with the
affair as far as Willard is concerned.
It is hard to believe that Jess rel
ished the trouncing that Dempsey
handed him, and is anxious to try II
all over again.
Perhaps the very best reason that
could be offered by Willard is that
defeat has eliminated him from tins
sporting spotlight. Another match
would give Willard a chance to bask
in the limelight for a time at least
Possibly that is the big idea with the
former champ. Certainly such a
bout would not be for sports sake

Thomas Going Great
With Greenvl|e Team

circuit. the Greenville team has
parted with the services of players
who have not delivered the goods,
until Thomas is practically the only
man remaining on the roster whicn
started the season.
Perth Amboy has boosted of send
ing out athletes in various branches
of sport, but above all the WORK OF
Thomas stands out. He has made a
real reputation for himself in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
the last two seasons. Thomas, 1t is
believed, is the greatest basketball
attraction in Middlesex county, for
there are many who would come out
to see him in action rather than
either of the country's two greatest
stars.
Since his real debut in profession
al circles last season the services of
Thomas have been in demand. In
addition to playing with the Green
Vile combination on one or two
nights in the week, he has also per-
formed with Bill Manning's travel
ing c0mbination, and with other
organizations this season.
At the present time his contract
with the Greenville team prevents
him from playing steadily with any
local team, but it Is probable that
as the season grows older he may
be found in the toys of n of the
local q%uintets.
