HAVE LOPCH|CK
Crack Center, Together With
Banks, Will Appear Against
Amboy Five Saturday

With Davey Banks and Joe Lop-
| chick in the Speedway lineup this
Saturday night when this team and
the Perth Amboy Five clash for the
city championship, basketball dope
sters are ~conoeding the Speedways
an even chance to retain their city
and county laurels.
With Banks and Ray Handerhan
at the forward posts the Speedways
will indeed have two of the speediest
dribblers taking care of the scoring
positions. Both Banks and Ray are
small men but fast and clever shots
both from the field and the foul line.
Pete Hanson and Dewey Schwankert,
the Amboy Five guards, will have to
travel at top speed to hold down
these clever netmen. Lopchick at
center is expected to outjump Davis
and should this tall center obtain the
tap for his team, the Amboy Five
will be at a great disadvantage, as
the tap is a mighty important factor
In the game. Bob H~anderhand will
no doubt hold down one of the
Speedway guarding berths and being
a "sticker" will no doubt be given
the task of guarding Captain Flank"
Thomas. Bob will have his hands
full in this event and as Hank is
the pivot of all the Amboy Five plays
a lot VIII depend upon Bob to help
break up these plays.
Just which of the remaining
Speedways will occupy the other
guarding position Is unknown but it
is probable that Brownmiller will
make up the quintet as "Gummy" Is
a dead shot at long distance and a
tall man in the bargain. If Brown
miller is used he will probably be set
up against frankie Boyle, who has
been playing great ball at the Audi
forum court.
