Germantown Drops One
Germantown journeyed to Trenton
last evening and dropped a close East
.ro ,"r League game to the Potters by the
.oore of 10 to II. To say that the local
oogo tossers from up in the suburban
section outplayed their opponents is
nnttine the expression mildly. How they
ever managed to lose is a question that
Tho nlayers on the Bennis payroll may
have time to answer before they play
again next Tuesday.
Germantown outplayed Trenton at
every stage, but failed to take advantage
of numerous openings that were so easy
that the game should have been settled
long before the middle Of the second
half. With Meehan getting the tap on
almost every occasion the locals had the
hal virtually to themselves all night.
Play was rough because that was the
STYLE adopted by the Tigers in order to
Illustrate the scoring ability of one
Nathan Holman, which it must be ad
mitted they succeeded in accomplishing
But in doing so the spectators did not
see much of an exhibition. Teddy
Kearns trailed Nat Holman from start

an opponent. Any mediocre player can
do the same thing. but Germantown
should have profited more by the style
Of play.
Ripley Comes Down
In the first half when il was seen that
the Potters had planned q campaign to
eliminate Holman, the signal was given
invariably for Elmer Ripley to como
down the floor. He scored three times
on this play, because he had little op
position. When he managed to elude
Eddie White his only hindrance to the
basket was a possible encounter with
Tommy Barlow, who did halt him on
numerous occasions.
Kearns was glued to Holman and il
was impossible to get him away. He
would not even attempt to stop Ripley
when he came down and never attempted
to play the ball. Stretch" Meehan
evidently forgot all about Ripley toward
the finish and time and again it was
possible to count had the signal for
Ripley been played to advantage.
The Trenton management expected
Bernie Dun to show up, but Bernie did
not put in an appearance and Tommy
BARLOW had another chance. Dunn
however, will be on hand when Trenton
travels to Reading this evening and he
will get into the lineup at guard. Last
nights game was rough in spots ant
more than twenty two fouls were com
mitted, but the G's necessarily were moi
the offenders. as they had possession Of
the ball and the team with the ball car
hardly make any fouls-unless they dt
marathon.
First Half Close
The score at the end of the first sever
minutes was Germantown, 2; Trenton
| 0; on fouls. At the conclusion of thir
| teen minutes it was to 2 in favor o
Germantown, and the half concluded
S-6. Ripley made three field tosses II
the opening twenty minutes.

chances to take the lead, but failed t.

The final goal went to Ripley wit
about three minutes to play. No scor
was made by either side in the closin
minutes and George Norman gave

Viewed solely as matter of opticn the Arctic night Is as dark as any aight. Explorers in high attitudes say. however, that there are many alleyia- tons of the obscurity. The stars flash keenly, the moon comes along In regular succession of phases, the snow surface relieves the gloom under con ditions of the utmost absence of light. nnd the aurora borealis Is the finest kind of illuminant. Explorers all agree that their men pass the winter night without much difficulty if only thers are means of amusement.
