There were a number of feature
plays made by the colored outfit in
this game, but only once the visitors

brilliant game.

tured the weekly basketball game

their fourth straight victory by TAX
ing the scalp OF the strong Junior

1928.
The Newark combination is rated
as one OF the two strongest combi-
nations in the fight for the cham
pionship Of their city, and a victory
over this team is a win worth while.
Several weeks ago the Juniors de-
feated the Speedways on the Junior
Hall court in Newark in a well play
ed game. and Saturday nights re-
suit evened the series. 1t is posi-
BILE that the team may be booked TO
play the rubber game on the local
court in the near future.

three Clark brothers. Matty and
Sammy of ring fame, and Nip"
Clark of the National Turner's. and
Rachow who performs with the
Harrison quintet in the New Jersey
state league. and T~ueschler, another
National Turner basketeer. This is
the same team that defeated the
Speedways in Newark, with the ex-
ception that Sammy Clark played
instead of Eddie Schelling.

ing in this game, accounting for
twelve points. two field goals and
eight fouls. He had eleven chances
from the fifteen foot line. Tueschler

team in this game. He scored one
field goal and twenty-five fouls.
Hansen was given thirty shots from
the foul line, missing five in the first
half and three in ths second. Ray
