dates and spectators for this race, a
new novelty in this branch Of sport
for this vicinity. Miss Katherine
Reider came in second in the quar-
ter mile event, and Mildred Lusser

the Flyers. The Flyers carried off
honors to the tune of a GA score.

by the new local fistic organization.
5 frankie Sinclair, of New York, is
training at Stillman's for his eight

new local bantamweight boxer, a
former resident of Sea Bright, is also

alton for his six round battle with

hitting bantam has also been booked
for a main bout at Trenton.
The remainder of the boxers are
training in various gyms in or near

perfect condition for the show a
week tonight. The matchmaker is
confident that this show will be even
better than the last one

SCHWANkERT
GOING GREAT
Amboy Backfield Man Is Hav-
ing a Great SeaSon--SCor-
ing Record

The attention of the basketball
public Of the entire state has been
arawn to the sensational work of
Dewey" Schwankert, star backfield
man of the Perth Amboy Big Five.
In five games played last Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tues
day, this player contributed thirty
two baskets to the score of his vari-
Gus clubs. Nine baskets were regis
tered by this player in two of the
games, and seven, four and three in
the remaining three contests.
His sensational squirt in the last
half of the Amboy-Harmony contest
here last Saturday night was entirely
responsible for the defeat of the New
York quintet. He went through the
Harmony defense for three shots
from difficult angles and after an
other of his teammates made a score
he followed with his fourth double
decker of the half.
Schwankert is a member Of the
National Turner's of Newark, AM
boys, Townsend Big Five of North
Jersey. and the strong Belleville
quintet. He came to the local club
during the middle of last year and
fans in this vicinity are confident
that he will play an important part
in the winning of another title for
this city.
Sunday night he will play with
the National Turner's against the
Original Celtics on the Newark court.

The representative team of the
local Y. M. II. A. will carry a big
delegation of rooters from this city
to Carteret on Sunday night, to wit
ness a court battle between the Car
teret Separates and the fast going
association quintet.
Manager Sam Breslow of the
Smith and Mcclellan street team will
trot out his greatest collection of
stars for this encounter, Ham
Fine, Polkowitz, Rosenblum, Horo-
WITT, Mandel. Roth, Scott and him
self. The Y. NJ. II. A. team, h
youngest ever chosen to represent
an organization in this section, has
compiled a creditable record IN
games played to date.
Four strong opponents were bowl
ed over by the Hebrews before the
New Brunswick Y. NJ. II. A. five was
encountered, and this outht also
went down to defeat before h fast
passing and accurate shooting gum
tet banded together by Breslow.
Carteret and Woodbridge fans are
showing unusual interest in the team

of the past season."
When Penn State, after q few pre-
liminary games, ran the steam roller
over the strong Navy team to the
tune of 81 to 3, it seemed as IL Bez-
dek would make good on his predic-
ton. The previous year Navy had
won owe Penn State, ID to @.
In the Navy game, Halfback Will
son of Penn State gave probably the
best individual performance of the
year by making three long runs for
a touchdown in each instance. Will
son looked like a second Glenn
Killinger in that game. and often
one outstanding star, properly sup
ported. makes a team well nigh in
vincible.
West Virginia Upset
Failure to get better than n tie
with West Virginia, the score being
10 to 13, was undoubtedly an upset
to Bezdek, despite the known
strength of the Mountaineers. How
ever, the saddest blow of all was the
10 to 0 defeat by Syracuse. The
breaks of the game decided the is
sue, a fumbled bali was one of the
breaks, and Syracuse capitalized on
the slip.
Two big games still remain on the
Penn State schedule. Bezdek must
win both or it will be just a $3.50
year from a Penn State standpoint.
University of Pittsburgh and Penn
sylvania stand between Penn State
and a successful football year.

MATAWAN SET
FOR OPENING
Costello and Davies Only New
Men for Game at Wood
bridge Today

With Costello and Davies, occu-
pants of the positions left vacant by
Griswold and Wooley, the Matawan
High School will invade Woodbridge
this afternoon for a game with the
Woodbridge high school passers on
the high school court.
Inc strong representative five of
the Monmouth county school easily
defeated the Woodbridge team in
the season opener last year, and
the Matawan coach is of the opin-
ion that this years team is equally
as good.
After last years contest with Mat
avian the Woodbridge players now
ed down all opposition in classy
style, finally being checked by Coach
WaddelPs Amboy high school team.
Woodbridge has the same team as
last year and the players expect to
reap revenge In the contest on their
own court this afternoon.
Matawan will take the court TODAY
with Costello at center, Davies and
VanPelt as forwards, and McNally
and Anderson in the guarding posi-
tons. This year will be the last for
VanPelt, McNally and Anderson.
Local high school fans are inter-
ested in the outcome of today's con
test.

EASY VICTORY FOR PASSA/C
new GRIDIRON Team
FOR FINAL ENCOUNTER

Practically a new start in high
school football circles will be made
by the Perth Amboy High School
representative gridiron team, on the
North Plainfield grounds this after
noon.
Coach Stauffer, after months of
work and worry, had moulded to-
gether a combination of gridiron
performers, rated on an equal basis
with some of the leading high school
elevens in this section of the state.
Overcome by their success on the
gridiron, the football stars evidently
paid little attention to their studies
and the 'bad break' followed. All
but three members of the regular
squad have been dropped on account
of being down in studies. The fac
ulty was good enough to allow the
regular team to play Freehold in the
locals only home game last Friday,
and local gridiron fans saw the State
streeters down the colors of the
strong Monmouth county team.
In n way it would be a good
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-11-16

thing if the faculty would allow the
regulars to play again today, in the
last game of the season, and in an
other it would not. The athletes
know the rules of the school and
if they want to take part in athletics
they should also give plenty of time
to their studies, for after all, studies
must be given first consideration.
Local Record
The Amboy team registered four
victories in six starts, losing only
to the strong clubs representing
Railway High School and Battin
High School, of Elizabeth.
1t has been rumored that Pagan,
Desmond, Fimiani, Katz. S. Salacki,
Obeski, L. Breslow, jacobson, Daitz
and Seaman will be among the start
ers in today's contest. Jacobson,
Daitz and Seaman are the remains
of the regular squad.
A good sized delegation of fans
will accompany the team to the
Union county field. North Plain

ASSOCIATION ;
WILL HAVE FOLLOWING

organized by Ed Coughlin, popular
borough promoter, to represent the
borough on the court in Sunday
night games. Two good games have
been played to date, the Lightnings,
of South Amboy, having been de-
feated, while the Woodbridge Big
Five nosed out the Separates by a
foul scored in the last minute of
play.
With "Yak" Lowenkopf, at center,
Charley Brownmiller and "Chip"
Cutter, in the advanced positions,
and John Bradley and Bob Handler
han, in the backfield, Carteret fans
are confident that they have a team
capable of holding its own with the
leading clubs in this section of the
state.
1t is interesting to note hat Low
enkopf will be opposed in this con-
test by Ham" Fine, his understudy
in the local association contests of
two seasons ago.

It's just n thing after another
for a college football coach, and
the succession of happenings are
not always pleasant. Coach Hugo
Bezdek of Penn State will testify as
to the truth of that statement.
During his long career as a foot
ball mentor, Bezdek has been known
as a winning coach, his successful
elevens have far overshadowed his
poor teams. In the career of every
coach there comes a lean year or
two. Yost of Michigan, Tad Jones
of Yale, Zuppke of Illinois and many
other of the gridiron strategists have
sc suffered. Last year was proba-
bly, the worst in Bezdek's career.
Had he been just breaking in as a
big-time coach he would have
been considered a bust"
Predicted Big Things
A scoreless tie with Syracuse and
defeats at the hands of Navy,
Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh and the
University of Southern California
made Bezdek's showing a rather
poor one The fault was not Bez-
dek's, but the material at hand.
With a lot of likely material avail
able from the freshman class for
1928, Bezdek after being trounced
in the intersectional clash with
Southern California, remarked:

year that will wipe out the reverses
