the local high school court yester-
day afternoon. The score at the
conclusion of forty minutes of play

teamwork featured the play of the
Perth Amboy high school represen-
tatives in this game. From the
start it was visible that the local

from the foul line. The Amboy

scoring stars for the winning team,
Henry being credited with foul field
and three foul goals, while Harold
also made three double counters.
Charley Hughes, captain Of the local
quintet, played a wonderful defen-
sive game, and at the start of the
game he was lined up with Dooley.
Dooley occupied the position of
Kochek, who is unable to play on
account of illness. In the second
half Martin was sent into the game
in Dooley's place.
During the final period Rose
scored two field goals for the Mon
mouth county team, while the AM
boy players again made a half doz-
en- baskets. Rose made all of the
points for the Red Bank quintet.

tet, and South River has not been

.Ster|ings Will Play
Y. N. a. Team Here

the games on the Y. NJ. H. a.
schedule for the remainder of the
season will be with teams in Middle-
sen county and vicinity, for after all,
there is greatest interest in q con-
test when the teams come from the
same locality. Due to the fact thai
the Y. NJ. H. A. quintet won on
the local court and the Parish House
team won on the Woodbridge court
the strongest quintet of the two has
not been decided as yet.
The local association team per-
formed in wonderful fashion last
Thursday night in scoring a victory
over the Yorkville Separate quintet,
a combination which had previously
defeated Manager Levine's outfit. IL
the local team performs in the same
fashion tonight the result of the COM
test with the Sterlings will not be III
doubt.
Captain Charley Sher of the AM
boy team may be out of the game
again on account of an injured knee.
If this is the case Karkus will prob
ably be used at forward and
Schwartzman shifted to guard. The
remainder of the team will be the
same as against the Separates last
Thursday night.
Cal Meury is expected to be
back in the lineup of the Sterlings
for this game. Meury, a former
Rutgers College man, is a good foul
shooter and a good shot from the

usual fashion, Manager Maleskt feels
confident of victory.

NEBRASKA TO IMPROVE
JlJLESBUJRG-BIG SPRINGS
ROAD ON THE HIGHWAY

The section of the road between
Julesburg and Big Springs, Nebr., has
been in poor condition. Between Big
Springs and New York City, approx
mately rs per cent of the road now is
hard surfaced. The Colorado depart
ment, according to J. D. Blue, local
member of the advisory board of the
state highway commissios, expects
in time to construct a concrete road
from Julesburg to Denver, and this
year a large part of the road east
of Sterling will be graveled and grad
ed. The state and federal funds this
year will furnish s175,O0O for paving
on the highway south of Sterling.
This paving should extend almost to

Under recent arrangement adopt
ed by the federal government, 65 per

quired of the states.

way department, recently taken,
points to the immediate improvement
of the Lincoln highway from Big

spectively, and these teams will be the
guests of the losing teams, Nos. One
and Three at an oyster "feed" to be
served at the Sedgwick County High

evening, it being agreed to decide the
contest by the best two out of three

that was necessary to be played, as
Team No. Four defeated Teams No.

finish, George Reeds athletes trying
hard to ward off defeat, but were un-
successful, and Prof. Rowland's boys
romped away with the victory.

ness meeting of the Julesburg Com
munity Club was held to make ar
rangements for another tournament.
President G. H. Austis presided. 1t
