MANAGER OF SCHOOL
SPORTS; HOY HIS ASSISTANT

Thomas Hoy defeated Paul Ras-
museen for assistant basketball
manager at the meeting Of the Perth
Amboy High School Athletic Asso-
citation held in the high school audi
forum yesterday afternoon. The
final count was forty-seven for Hoy,
forty-two for Rasmussen, n seven
for Breslow who finished a poor
third. This election was held for
the purpose of electing an assistant
manager to take the place of Ed
ward Patten, who vas appointed
manager Of the present boys varsity
to take the place of Theodore Jones,
who resigned because of differences
with Physical Director Harold
Evans.
Theodore Jones, president OF the
association, called the meeting TO
order after about one hundred stu
dents had been seated. The presi-
dent stated that the purpose of the
meeting was to choose an assistant
manager to take the place of Ed
ward Patten, who had succeeded
Jones as manager of the team. He
further stated that many of the stu
dents had knowledge of resigning
as manager because he could not
agree with the coach and because
the coach only wanted a ~stenogra-
pher. to write letters for games.
The former manager stated that
when he told the coach of his plans
the latter told him to prepare his
resignation and hand it TO the Sec
rotary of the association. This. the
association president stated. was
done, but he was told that inasmuch
as the physical director is a mem
Der of the faculty. what was con-
tanned in the letter. he said. would
create a lack of respect for the
coach by the other students.
Other matters were talked over
at this meeting, including the nam
ing of a committee by the president
for the purpose of purchasing a
banner on which to put annually the
class number winning the inter-class
series each season.

ing and the tickets will include re-
