IN GIRLS GAME
Center Girls Will Play Amboy
Representative Team on
Auditorium Court

. In q preliminary game to the New
ark Turner-E,lizabeth Five contest on
the Elizabeth Armory court u
day night the Roosevelt Center girls
will play George Wards Fighting
Five. The Centers expect to hang up
their fourteenth consecutive victory
by winning this game. If Miss Kings
players are successful in adding this
victory to their string they will equal
the record of the Perth Amboy
Speedway team which was broken by
the Bayway combination of Eliza
beth.
Next Saturday night or the Audi
forum court in this city the Roose-
welt Center girls will play the Am
boy representative team, and this
contest is bound to be one of the
best girls games ever played on a
court in this section. In this game
two of the greatest girls basketball
players in this county will be seen
on the court one who is claimed by
local fans to be the peer of them all
while the other is hailed by Carteret
fans as the pest girls basketball
player in this section. There is no
question but that these players are
at the top of the list when the abil-
ity of female court tossers in this
county is being considered.
The lineup of the Roosevelt Cen
tiers will be the same as in previous
contests this year, the Misses King
and Ellis, forwards; Shechtman. cen
ter. and Schwartz and Robertson,
guards.
No announcement has been made
yet regarding the strength of the
Amboy representative team, but the
team will be the strongest ever
placed on the court by any local
girls quintet.

tween the Speedway and Separate
teams would be the best game that
possibly could be booked, and the
Speedway manager has likewise
been approached by a number of
basketball fanatics who desired a
meeting between these two combi-
nations.
The speed, passing and shooting
of the Danbury combination kept
the fans in the Y. NJ. H. A. court
last Thursday night on edge
throughout the forty minutes of
play. The style of the Separates
was never before exhibited in this
vicinity although numerous teams
with better regulations have APP
peared on the different courts in
this section during the past several
years.
A booking with the Danbury team
is in demand throughout the East,
and this team is considered one of
the leading basketball teams in this
section of the country today. Man
ager Furey of the Original Celtics of
New York Immediately booked this
team after seeing the players per-
form. and the National Turner man
ager booked the team at the request
of the Turner following.
There are many fans in this vi
cinity who are of the belief that the
Speeiways are afraid to book a
team that would have a chance to
beat them. In booking the Separ-
ates the locals surely set aside this
thought.
