they face a team heavier and more
experienced than themselves. The
down staters are said to be stronger
than Railway and everyone knows
what the Union county school did
to the locals.
Just last Friday afternoon the
Freehold tossers lost a tough &c TO
0 decision to st. Benedicts. of
the strongest gridiron machines in
the state. The ability to hold the
Newarkers to such a low score
speaks well for the South Jerseyites.
The Freehold eleven also was beat
en- by st. Mary's High School of
South Amboy.
Many of the alumni of the school
still remember the lacing the locals
received seven years ago at the
hands o fthe Freehold team, 55 to
o.. In that year Freehold was run
ner up for state championship hon
ors and Amboy was considered one
of the best elevens in the state. Last
year Freehold was ranked sixth in
the Glass B division, several notches
higher than the ranking Railway
received.

beat Phillipsburg through the use of
forward passes last Saturday.
In the Railway game the locals
unleashed a strong aerial attack and
five out of eight attempts were sue

lads who are stars at catching for
wards and it would not be surpris-

that being the famous Notre Dame

(High School Correspondent

1lA6 UNIV ~
The girls basketball candidates
at the local high school were put
through a practice session under
the direction of Miss Elizabeth
Kirkpatrick in the high school gym
on Monday afternoon.
The practice was for both varsity
and class teams and judging from
the turnout Miss Kirkpatrick will
have an easy job choosing a repre-
sentative girls sextet.
There are several veterans left
from last years varsity and there
are many lassies who have had class
series experience. The Misses Helen
Schultz and Alice Bjork are the
varsity veterans. The girls inter-
class games will be run off with the
boys series games as in former
years.
Explanation of the rudiments of
the indoor sport occupied a major
part of the time on Monday after
noon. The girls game is different
from the boys in that there are six
girls used as against five boys and
there is more science in a girls
game.
With the success which Miss
Kirkpatrick attained in the carry
ing out of the volley ball league the
girl basketball representatives of the
Crimson and White should easily
live up to their records of former
seasons.
