GAME AT AUDITORIUM

difference between the two outfits
eight points. Consistent foul Shoot
ing by Bergman cut the Amboy lead
to six. At this point Willie Marion
came through with two field goals
and one foul pointer that increased
the home-team's advantage to nine
points. The entire three double
deckers that were scored by the
Kingston flashes we're made in rapid
succession at this point of the game
and with ten minutes to go the big
lead of the local aspirants had been
cut to two points. The score con-
tinued unchanged for four minutes,
when Marion made good a foul try
closely followed by another register
ed by Schwankert and two field goals
by Hanson and Schwankert respec-
lively. For the last ten minutes of
the second half the Kingston court
sters were held ~scoreless.
The local lads scored eleven times
from the field while the New York
State Champs accounted for even.
Both teams scored eight times from
the foul line, there being seventeen
fouls called upon Perth Amboy and
fifteen upon the visitors. The team
work and aggressive guarding OF the
local suction shoed artists complete
ly demoralized their big time OPP
ponents and during the last ten min
utes OF the game the ball was sell

home team.
Bergman came through with two
field goals in the second session but
this fell short as the Amboy repre-
sentatives managed to lead by a

TEAM HAS NOT
BEEN CHOSEN
New Men for New Brunswick
Came Tomorrow Have Not
Been Decided On
IF. s. Correspondent

With a comparatively weak line
up, the local scholastic court repre-
%sentatives will travel to New Bruins
wick tomorrow afternoon, at which
time the Rutgers Preparatory troupe
will be engaged. the game promises
TO be the banner attraction on the
Arnboy schedule for the current sea-
son.
Not since the days of the 1890
agg egation a there been such
Keen interest Displayed at the high
school in the doings OF the knights
CT the pinewood floor. Never be-
fore has such liberal supper been
accorded a Crimson and White team.
The attendance at the home games
taxes the capacity of the gymnasium
TO the limit.
On Friday night of next week the
first home night scholastic encounter
will be played with South Amboy as
tn opponents. That night will be
a memorable one, as 1t will be the
first time an Amboy high school
team has played the State street in
stitution in the evening, and an un-
usual crowd will be looked for. Sew
eral night contests are scheduled to
be played in this city and it will
give local Random a chance to see
in action a team with championship
aspirations.
In tomorrow's game Ham" Fine,
tsrieve and Rasmussen, are expected
to be the star performers. Who the
other two players will be is not
known. Coach Waddeil is having a
hard time trying to develop a crack
live to take the place of the in
eligibles who are expected to return
to the fold sometime next week.
The material now on hand is
either too light or too inexperienced,
and the coach is fearful of trusting
the destinies of Crimson and White
TO these youngsters. 1t is possible
that one of the lads ma rise to the
occasion and save the day.
Bud" Larson, who was expected
to take the place of Captain Dooley
at forward, was lost to the squad
early this week, when he was re-
moved to the Isolation hospital suf-
fering from scarlet fever. The sick
ness was contracted from a cold
which he caught on the Harrison
trip last Friday.
Dave Horowitz and Sol Polkowitz
will probably be given e. chance to
show their are IN tomorrow's on
test. Bob McWilliam and Abe JAG
OLSON, a pair who are rapidly COM
ing to the fore. will no doubt be
given a chance by the local mentor,
Connolly and Burke, promising
freshmen. will also be on hand for
inspection.
Rutgers Prep is the only other
school. besides Metuchen and Wood
bridge. on the Amboy schedule.
South River has severed relations
with the local institution. The two
time county champions are not go
ing SO well this year.
While Ambov is hanging up a
local record, the Passaic Fl. S. cham
pions won their ninety-sixth straight

Dewey Schwankert, who was Civ

Cy Estrin, who was secured to

hi. S. CORRESPONDENT

The Crimson and White girls bas-
ketball team went down to an in
glorious defeat yesterday afternoon
at the hands of the more expert
enced Red Bank Lassies on the local
court by a 1918 score.
If it had not been for the lead
which the Red Bank team obtained
in the initial period Of this conest,
the homesters would have come out
ahead. The loss of Miss Helen
Schultz, star Of the local squad, was
keenly felt in this game.
The playing of the Misses Hoy,
Bartha, Bjork and Larsen stood out
for the home team, while Miss Mat
thews starred for the visitors. The
score at half time was 7--2, IN

GREAT GAME CARDED

SECOND SERIES CLASH

Without a doubt the greatest ath-

feated the Carteret representatives
in a nip and tuck battle on the audi
forum court in this city, the Sat
urday night before Christmas. judy
ing from the class shown against
the Kingston ~basketeers last night,
the Amboys should hand the Dor
ough courtsters another setback.
It is probable that the opposing
captains will be pitted against one
another tonight, Freddy Glochau for
the home team and David Hank
Thomas for the visitors and Sam
Denberg will endeavor to check VIII
lie Marion who has featured in the
floorwork of the Amboys in recent
contests.
If Jiggs Donahue is unable to start
in the game tonight, Ray Handler
han Of the local Speedways will be
teamed I'D with Jimmy Donovan in
the advanced position for the home
club. Aside from this change the
Separates will take the court in .ae
same manner as in the first contest.
The Amboys with Davis back in the
fold, will send their same lineup on
the court with the exception of Mar
ron, who is now playing forward for
the locals.
Judging the performances Or the
Amboys to date. they should repeat
oyer the boroughites. It is a general
custom for a team winning a contest
on its home court by a scant
gin, to be in danger of defeat when
q return game is played on the OPP
ponent's court. The Amboys how
ever. have defeated the National
Turner's and Bayview Wheelmen IN
Newark and the Commonwealths on
the latter's New York court, which
I would indicate that they can play
equally as good away as at home.
Both teams have made exceptional
records or the court this To-
nights game is the second week
night contest to be played by the
Separates, all other games having
been played on Sunday night.
