COURT BATTLE
Of THE BEST
Mount Vernon Club to Play
the Amboy Five on Audi
forum Court

When the Mt. Vernon club of the
~Interboro Basketball League, in
|Yades this City Saturday night to give
battle TO the Perth Amboy Five,
fandom will see N action a trio Of
the cleverest performers of the
present day, in Lopchick, Banks
and Marion.
Lopchick made his initial appear
ance here last Saturday and the
large crowd Of fans that saw him
perform are unanimous IN their
opinion that he Is the greatest drib-
bier that ever performed upon the
Auditorium Court. Lopchick will be
assisted by two OF the fastest for
wards of the country n Dave Banks
and Willie Marion. Both of these
basketeers are small men but they
make up in cieverness and speed what
they lack in heighth and weight.
Banks has appeared in this city
three times this season and on two
or three occasions brought defeat
TO the Amboy representatives. The
other tussel found his team noeed
out by a solitary point. In addition
to Lopchick, Banks and Marion the
Mt. Vernon roster comprises Eddie
White, Captain Of the Visitation
Triangles and Jerry TROUGH, a six
loot guard who has performed with
the New York WhirIwinds.
Although the Original Celtics are
the acknowledged champions Of the
World, the Nj. Vernon club out-play-
ed them a few weeks ago and out
scored the Champions by an eight
point margin. Lopchick decisively
outplayed his opponent Horse"
Haggerty while Willie Marion out
scored the feet Johnny Beckman.
Banks had the great Nat Holman to
contend with but managed 10 cor
8 points to Holman's 8. The Mt.
Vernon combination easily annexed
the championship honors of the In
terboro League and has also hung
and has also hung up victories
against the Brooklyn Professionals,
Macdonald Lyceums while Bruggy's
Elizabeth team of the Metropolitan
League were swamped by q SO to
IS core.
Leo Malone has been secured to
jump center for the local quintet
while Davis will be shifted back
to a guard position. Captain Hank"
Thomas will team UP at forward
with frankie Boyle and should these
dribblers perform in their previous
style the Vernon guards will have
10 hustle. Dewey Schwankert. Pete
Hanson and Harry Davis will take
take care of the guarding positions.

Everything is in readiness for the

afternoon. If the weather continues
cold the attendance may be affected.
Courier and Maud probably will be
the opposing statesmen in the ase

1t is probable that the basketball
season in this city will be closed to-
morrow night. Several summer re-
sorts are scheduled to open tomor-

the sum originally worked for will be
oversubscribed.
A track will be of use to students
of other schools in this city and al
SO to the city at large. Work has
been started at Wonderland Park
and it is probable the track will
be laid out in time for the next
meeting of the high school team.
The local team participated in
only one meet to date this season
that with the Rutgers Prep school
team at Nelson Field in New Bruins
wick. There is little interest in a
team unless it performs at home
once in a while and the laying out
of a track here will enable home
meets and create greater interest on
the part of the students and the
citizens in this city.
Amboy high has been attracting
real attention as a result Of the
doings of its basketball teams and
baseball team during the past sew
eral seasons, and the coming of a
track should aid a great deal in
putting Amboy on the map in track
doings.
