Afternoon

The Perth Amboy high school
girls basketball team will have a
chance this afternoon to even their
score for the season when they hook
up with the crack North Plainfield
sextet on the local school court. SO
far this season Miss Kirkpatrick's
warriors have won three games and
lost four.
The locals have engaged stiff OPP
position in games to date this season
and a good showing has been made
considering the fact that the coach
had to build her team around two
members of last years sextet. There
Is one senior on this years team.
North Plain1eld has boosted of a
strong girls team for a. number of
years and this combination has al
ways been somewhat of a stumbling
block to the sextet representing the
Crimson and White. Last year the
teams broke even in a home and
home series.
Miss Helen Schultz will once again
be absent from the local lineup for
the game today. The locals proba-
bly, will start the game with the
Misses Hoy and Kilmurray, for
wards; Rezinschak and Bartha. CEN
tiers, and Captain Bjork and Larson,
guards. The game will start at S:45
and Miss Everett of Columbia will
referee.
On Friday night the locals will re-
turn to the court and at this time
they will engage the Woodbridge
high school team.

When the Perth Anboy Five take
the floor against the strong Italian
Catholic Club representatives at the
Auditorium court tonight, lovers of
basketball should witness a contest
that may go down in the history of
the local outfit.
This prediction is made consid-
ering the two previous performances
by these quintets on the local court.
In the initial clash, the local favor
ties without the services of their
captain, Hank Thomas, went down
an inglorious defeat on New Year
Tight by an eleven point margin. The
mountaineering team work of the
New York dribblers was the out
standing feature of this tussel and
local fandom was loud in it's praise
tor the Catholic performers.
The second set-to took place two
weeks ago when the Auditorium
courtsters, after trailing in the rear
until the last five minutes of the
game, staged one of the most spec
tacular and aggressive rallies ever
seen in this city and overcoming an
eight-point lead, nosed out the Ital-
ian club. by a solitary point.
