fans r gossiping about the Carl
Morris-Billy Murphy eight round
bout to head this card, and judging
past performances of the two bat
tiers, there should be thrills from
start to finish.
The Staten Island boxer, Murphy,
has been in the ring for a good many
years and since the start of his ca
reer, he has met the best in his class.
He is a tough man to handle and
Morris should have his hands full,
trying to score a victory on points

AND COMPANY
HAND LOCALS SETBACK
ON AUDITORIUM FLOOR

Playing a ragged brand of bail,
pc Perth Amboy Big Five of
yMessrs. Eowenkopf and Levine, went
down to defeat before the crack
Italian Catholic Club quintet of New
York City, on the Auditorium court,
Saturday night. At the completion
of the forty minutes of play, the
cor stood 1921 in favor of the
invaders, and the first downfall of
last years state champions had been
registered.
The crackerjack New York team
outplayed the local lads in every
department, more decisiyely than
the n%ine-point difference would in
dictate. Sensational passing and
shooting featured the work of the
visitors throughout the entire game.
Prior to this contest, the Amboys
had annexed four victories this sea-
son. Their playing on Saturday
night, however, was far below the
standard set in the previous con-
tests. In shooting. passing and drib-
bling, the state champions were
away off form. Many times the fast
New York quintet snatched up the
ball after an Amboy tumble and
went down the court for a two
pointer.
The Italians TOOK the court with
the two Cohens in the advanced po-
sitions, Lindbloom at center, and
q Cohen and McKew at guard. Cap
tain Thomas started Ray Handler
han and himself in the forward po-
sitions, Pete Eggers at center, and
Pete Hansen and Dewey Schwan-
kert in the backfield.
Invaders Start
Shortly after the start of play,
Henry Cohen dropped in a foul
counter and on the next play Herb
Cohen basketed the pill for a two
pointer, from a position opposite the
foul line. McKew made good a foul
try after which Ray Handerhan
scored from the free throw line, the
locals first counter. The peppery
forward cut the visitors lead to one
point when he dropped in a pretty
shot for two points.
Henry Cohen came through with
a foul and a field goal. advancing
the Italians total to seven after
which Schwankert, Eggers and
Thomas made four fouls between
them. tieing the score at V all.
Henry Cohen made another two
pointer for the visitors, and Pete
Eggers' two counter tied the score
for the second time. The visiting
center tailed a goal from the field
and Henry Cohen increased the lead
to four points with his third double
decker of the period.
d. Cohen's basket and Henry Co
hens basket and foul gave the Ital-
ians their final points of the half

At the Strand Today

The romance of adventure on sew
en- seas clings to the Oldest whaling
bark afioat, the Charles w. Morgan,
built in 1871, which was used by Di-
rector George Melford in his screen
production of Java Head" for Para
mount and which will be on view at
the Strand theatre for three days,
beginning today.
The vessel was constructed of the
best materials obtainable, and was
copper fastened throughout. Her
first voyage was to the Pacific under
Captain Norton in 1871. She was out
about three years and three months
and returned laden with cargoes of
sperm oil, whale oil and w~halebone.
Her second voyage, also of three
years duration, was to the Indian
ocean, from which trip she also
brought oil. She then passed into the
ownership of Edward Mott Robinson,
father of famous "Hetty Green" and
then followed several successful
trips, after which she changed hands
several times.

Should a line hold till punter
kicks, or should they all go down
at once?
Answered by
ANDY SMITH
Coach of football, University of Cali
fornia; his teams undefeated during
three years past. Former All-Amer-
lean fullback.
1t is better to send your whole line
down fast under a kick, inasmuch
as the fastest quarterback can not
straight-arm and dodge a broadside
of seven men coming down the field.
If the line holds until the punter
gets his kick away. 1t means that
should one of the offensive ends be
blocked, the quarterback can easily
run a kick back a considerable dis
lance before encountering any of the
linemen coming down the field.
