the Potters were completely ontplayed
,n n game that Mt times resembled an
Id. fashioned football game.
put the Skeeters were too fast for
.bsir opponents. Every man on the
a,renton team was clearly outplayed.
md the bright particular star was the
IInninutiye James Campbell. He in
ssSed the home of Tommy Barlow and 4.
sosnite the strong arm methods OF
TSomas and a hostile and unfair crowd
n rooters, came off best at all stages
"asoun." as he is known to cage
came followers, has not the physique Of
barlow, and suffered as consequence:
He will likely take the day OF to rest
IN and he needs it after the punish
n.nt w he took. 1t was no night for the
Aoms team to shine, and their light
vent out soon after the second half
was under way.
Play Hcady Ball
II was a heady game of basketball
that was played by the Skeeters. They
eutguessed their adyersaries at every
turn and had the losers devoted as
much time to playing the ball as the
winners, the score might have been
sloser. Wherever the spheroid was
ravellng tnere was always S"uS
In the second half they had possess
sion of the leather virtually all the
fine and for this reason Referee Ward
brennan only called six fouls on Cam
den and one was double on Roy
Steel for informing the official that he
had better make trip to an optician
pt his first opportunity.
Campbell and Steele were the big
noises In the triumph. Not because
Jimmy secured three field goals and
Ray two, but they directed the team
play in such manner that sent a
couple of hundred fans who made the
trip nearly crazy.
Camden always had a man in the
baekfeld To start the play. When no
one could break through. back went the
ball. and the play started all over again.
II some one did manage to slip by the
Trenton defense all was well, but II
there was no chance back 1t went again.
And when q Camden player was cor
nered he felt the impact of a Trenton
player with considerable force.
Outscored Nine to Three
Camden outscored the Potters from
THE field, nine goals to three. The two
Trenton baskets in the first half came
early by Tom Barlow and their lone
tally in the final period was by Teddy
Kearns near the end of the game.
Every player on the Skeeters hit the
net for at least one field goal, Campbell
leading with three and Kerr and Steele
two apiece. Had the winners been in
any kind of form from the fifteen foot
mark the game would have been regu
lar rout. Camden managed to secure
three fouls out of ten tries in each half
or six out of twenty chances all told.
1t was only on free tOSses that the
home contingent kept in the running
getting six out of eleven in the opening
period and four out Of six in the con
cluding chapter for total of ten out
Of seventeen. Referee Brennan had O
tough job, as it was one of the rough
est games of the year. The home team
had little chance to complain as every
player was aware that the opposing
man had outplayed him, and by most
decisive margin. Five minutes befOr,
play ended many Of the spectators haL
left their seats, preferring not to see
the finish.
Steele Scores First
Play was under way exactly twenty

speed in cutting under the basket anC

goal.
The SkeeterS went in front on Il one
pointer and at this juncture the Souti

under the basket, the Trenton defense
being lamentably weak. Mechan tict
