The Harrison Big Five game in
this city Saturday night was wit
Ressed by the largest crowd that
MAS turned out SO far this season
tand a game that had the fans on

ing this half and at the end of the
first half the Auditorium courtsters
led by one solitary point, the score
being II to 16.
Stumpf of the visitors, who is
without doubt one Of the best for
wards that ever appeared On a To-
cal court, accounted for two field
goals during he stanza and were
it not for the watchful in
which he was guarded by Pete
Hanson, would have scored con-
siderably more. The Hudson county
boys were much heavier than the
locals and took advantage of this
fact and at times the game was
rough.

at the center position by
Davis game the locals two field goals
in quick succession by Regain and
one by Thomas, giving the locals the
game by a margin of nine points.

the three best centerS of Newark,
met his match in Davis who covered
him up in a pretty through
out the entire game. Davis obtained
the jump whenever his team was in
danger. Blackie Regain came through
with five field goals and -four fouls
and was the recipient of a lot of
roughness.
Captain Thomas broke through
the strong defense of the visitors
and his passing to Regain enabled
that player to register several of the
shots credited to him. Hank scored
six out of seven attempts from h
fifteen foot line and also one field
goal in the second half. Hanson
had a real job cut out for him in
guarding Stumpf which he did in a
creditable Papa Allen held
]. Flynn to one field shot in the first
half and Chick Sher, who replaced
Allen in the second half held the
same player ~scoreless from the Held.
Each quintet scored seven field goals
while the locals made good nine
teen fouls out Of thirty attempts to
the Harrison's ten fouls out of nine
teen attempts.

IN view of the speed displayed by
both teams.
