ketbalI team will furnish the oppo-
sition to the Woodbridge Big Five
basketball quintet on the wood
bridge High School court tomorrow

Judging from the showing made
by the Hungarian basketeers against

land street court last Sunday night,
an interesting game should be exhlp-
tied tomorrow night.
The Hungarian lineup probably
will be chosen from the Mltruska
brothers, Winkler. Hornsby, NC
Creery, Kochek and Levay. This is
the same lineup as was used against
.Tottenville in the recent contest. Last
night the Hungarians played the
South Amboy Terra Gotta quintet
on the Cortland street court.
Woodbridge will lineup with the
Martin brothers, Mesick, Risley and
Bob or Ray Handerhan. Manager
Saltzman is DESTROYS of adding the
scalp of the Hungarians to his belt.
The Woodbridge players are ex-
pected to come to this city tonight
to look over the Yorkville Separates
who may be booked to oppose their
team n the Woodbridge court next
week.

(High School Correspondent

1<o
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 i've 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.
