QUAKER TEAM
To PLAY HERE
Will Oppose Crimson and
White Tossers on State
Street Court
hi. s. Corresnondent.

What probably will be the banner
attraction on the local high schools
basketball schedule for this year will
be played sometime in March when
the Philadelphia All-Scho1astics will
appear here against the Amboy var
sity.
Every year at the close of the sea-
son the sports editors of the Quaker
city select a mythical All-City quin-
tet. This team is composed of the
best scholastic performers Of the
Philadelphia Interscholastic league
which is made up of all the high
and prep schools in the city. Up to
date the Southern H. S. five is in the
van and it looks as though that team
will represent the city en- masse on
the representative outfit.
This quintet of stars tours New
Jersey in March and through the in
fluence of Coach Waddell they will
appear here. Last year the Phila-
delphians toured this state and met
with great success losing only to the
Passaic high school champions by a
low score.
The Philadelphia-Amboy clash will
no doubt attract state wide attention
as the locals show promise of de-
veloping into champions. An impor-
tant announcement regarding an
Amboy-Passaic game will probably
be made within a few weeks.
