Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-02-06

After losing a hard fought game
to the st. Patrick high school sextet
on Friday afternoon the local high
school lassies will take the court
this afternoon against the Asbury
Park high school girls aggregation
at the State street gym.
The Crimson and White amazons
lost to the seashore team several
weeks ago by a 25-15 score. As a
result the Perth girls are DESTROYS of
turning the tables on the down state
representatives. Coach Miss E.
kirkpatrick sent her hopefuls
through a strenuous drill yesterday
afternoon and from the form shown
the visitors will have a hard time in
coming out ahead.
So far this year the sextet has met
with mediocre success. Games have
been dropped to Asbury, Red Bank
and st. Patrick's while South Amboy
and Princeton have fallen before the
locals. The lost game of last week
can be attributed to the absence of
the Misses ShultZ and Hoy for their
loss was keenly felt. The teamwork
OF the locals revolves around these
two stars.
The lineup today will probably be
as follows: Schultz and KilmurTay,
forwards; Palmer and Bartha, cen
ters and Captain Bjork and Larson
guards. The cheerleaders will be on
hand. The game is scheduled to
start at 3:45.
