SAINTS OUT To
AVENCE DEFEAT
Cross River High School
Squad on County Seat
Court Tonight

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 19.-When
the st. Mary's high school ba~sketeers
of this city travel to New Bruins
wick tonight, a victory for the de-
feat of Monday night by Seton Hall
Prep will be the main object.
The game on the South Orange
= courf was almost a sure victory for
the Saints throughout the first half,
and even part of the second period,
but a sudden streak gave the Seton
ians the lead and the spr contin-
ued in spite Of the locals putting
forth every effort to stop them. This
defeat also broke the early winning
start of the locals, so that a new
start is hoped for by Coach Eppin-
ger and Athletic Director Rev. Will
lam Campbell tonight.
Although there are fourteen can
didates representing the Augusta
street institution on the court, 1t
appears to fans following the paro-
chial school quintet hal the athletic
directors have most confidence in
such first stringers as Cox, Kennedy,
Mullane, Gleason, Leonard, Captain
Alex, Ryan and McGonigle. These
men will be about the only ones
taken to the county seat tonight.
The New Brunswick high school
team is composed of four of last
years men and this only means that,
looking at the record of the up
county team of last season, the To-
calls will have to do some mean step
ping in the contest tonight.
A large delegation Of %rooters is
expected to accompany the team and
the game will start about $3.50
O'Clock.

Manager Robert McWilliam is ST.
working on his schedule and til
probable that the male representa-
tives of the Crimson and White VII!
be called upon to participate in NJ
teen or twenty engagements this
campaign.
1t is not likely that the athletic
directors at the State street institu-
ton will be successful in obtaining
the use of the Auditorium for home
contests during this winter. The use
of the Auditorium was suggested
when it was made known that Man
ager MCMILLAN was having trouble
in booking contests for the local
court. There is every indication,
however, that the male team will
play one or two evening tits in tn
gymnasium this winter. One of thes~
contests probably will be with the
Alumni combination.
Today's practice will be the last
for the male squad until after the
Christmas holidays.
