SPEEDWAY GAME
Follower of Association Team
Communicates Belief That
Team is Strongest

The following communication has
been received rom a follower Of the
local Y. NJ. II. A. basketball team.
Editor Evening News:
Dear Sir:-The followers of the
Y. NJ. II. A. basketball team of this
city are of the belief that the time
has arrived when their ~favorites
should be given a crack at the scalp
of the Speedway team, a leading con-
tender for city and county honors.
The fans Of the association team
are positive that with Charley Sher,
Newmark, Karkus. Lowenkopf,
Richman. Schwartzman and Gene
Parker, Manager Levine has a team
which surely will beat and outclass
the Speedways particularly on the
Auditorium court.
1.-THE eleven game winning streak
of the Speedways must be taken into
consideration particularly inasmuch
as the Newark Junior Mechanics,
Michelins, Somerville K. of c. and
other strong teams were defeated by
this combination, but would the
Speedways have an eseven game WIN
ming streak If the Yorkville Separ-
Ates and similar teams were o
to oppose the Auditorium represen-
tatives? The Separates will surely
beat the Speedway team when these
teams meet again on the court.
Again, on Thursday night it was
shown on tie Y. VI. H. A. court
that the association team is a strong
contender for the county honors in
asmuch as they handed a fine lac
ing to the Parish House team OF
Woodbridge.
give the Y. NJ. II. A. outfit a
crack at the Speedways' eleven game
streak and then we'll see who are
the champions.
Yours in sport.
