HIGH SCHOOL
GAMES TODAY
Local Boys Play Atlantic
Highlands Varsity and Sec
ond Team on Court Here.

There will be two games played
on the high school court in this city
this afternoon. The Atlantic High
lands high school first and second
boys teams will oppose the Perth
Amboy high school first and second
teams. The first contest will start
at $3.50 o'clock.
The Crimson and White basket
ball tossers representing the nrst
team of the local high school have
won three games in as many played
this season. victories already have
been scored yer Matawan. Keyport
and Red Bank. The following play
ers are expected to wear Amooy
toys in the first game: Westcott
and Cohen. forwards; Silver, CEN
ter, and Hughes and Widerstrom,
guards.
Due to the TACT that there are
more than enough good players for
one team. II has been decided to
place a second team on the floor.
This team will probably line up as
follows: Soield and Sladkus. for
wards: Rasmussen. center; and ko-
chek and Martin, guards.
Matawan has been the only team
to force the Crimson and White first
tossers to the limit in games played
this season, and in this contest the
Amboy players were too confident of
victory after running up what APP
peared to be a comfortable lead,
which resulted in the Matawan COM
bination succeeding in 0oming with
in one point of the Amboy team.
Jimmy Silver's showing in the
game on Wednesday afternoon
should result in his winning a steady
assignment in the pivot position,
while 1t is possible. that Charley
Hughes will soon win a regular
guarding berth. Hughes was in the
Red Bank game for only a few min
utes and had very little chance to
show his real value. Amboy's sched-
uled contest with South River Is fast
approaching. and II will be neces-
sary TO have a player of Hughes
ability in the Amboy lineup in order
to stop the rush of the stackowski
boys.
