WOODBRIDGE
TEAM DRILLS
Coach Ruthfuss Preparing
Court Team for Big Games
of Season

Having defeated Matawan high
school as their first opponents for
the present season opening on last
Friday, the high school ~basketeers
of Woodbridge, under the capable
hand of Coach Rothfuss are making
preparations for the remainder of
their schedule.
The game last week was a splen-
did start for the township five and
a sign that the Woodbridge team
is in for a big season, having de-
feated the Monmouth county rep
court circles in that section as being
a crackeriack outfit, by a 1920
score.
Even in spite of the big margin
that the Matawan team was beaten,
he Woodbridge outfit was somewhat
handicapped, having been without
the assistance of "Selly" Hoagland,
star forward, and who for the past
two years has been highly respon-
sible for a great many of the wins
OF the township quintet. Hoagland
is expected to play in the next
game.
Practice sessions will be held
right along until the next encoun-
ter, which is expected to take place
on December z. To date no oppo-
sition has been secured for that
time, but it is expected that the
manager will fill up the date. From
this time on the township team will
probably play twice a week, n
home and one away, until the end
of the present term.

NEWARK SWIMMERS MAY
APPEAR HERE is WEEKS

Negotiations are under way for
another swimming meet in the To-
cal Y. M. C. A.. pool about the fif-
teenth OF December, Newark "Y"
being the visiting aquatic team. The
Amboy team opened its season
Thursday night with a meet here
against Trenton, the team from the
state capital winning in the last
event, the relay.
The meet attracted a large audi
ence, proving the popularity of
swimming in this city and it was
well handled by the officials in
charge consisting of Physical Direc-
tor Loren j. Keyes, L.. p. "Pox"
Booz, starter and referee, A. Clayton
Clark, N. w. Pierce, of this city,
and George Morris, of Trenton,
Judges and timers.
The local team is in need OF one
or two good plungers who can go
the length of the pool, sixty feet.
Trenton had two men who perform
ed this feat with ease. The locals
will also endeavor to develop more
speed by the relay swimmers in or
der that this event might assure
the Amboy combination of victory in
future meets. Each man swims
forty yards In this event and efforts
will be made to get the four fast
short distance men in the "Y" to-
gether for this event.

HIGH SCHOOL
COURT DO|NGS
Boys and Girls Will Have
Strong Teams for Coming
Campaign

That the Perth Amboy high school
basketball team will make an effort
to continue their winning streak of
the past two seasons is the big
thought in the mind of both players,
coach and everyone interested in the
court circles of the State street in
stitution this year.
When the season finished last
term the Perth Amboy high school
quintet had piled UP a list of wins,
several of which were collected the
year previous, without q setback.
This same result will be sought this
year and should be looked for as the
team will have few changes from
the representative five of 1929.
At present Coach Stauffer is busy
arranging for class games starting
in December, while Coach Miss
Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, who Ia form
ing her female sextet for the pres
ent season, Is also planning class
teams to start shortly. From these
teams the representative boys and
girls quintet and sextet will be
picked.
The managers of both Teams are
working hard in order to complete
their lists in short time and - date
Robert Macmillan, manager of the
boys team reports about eighteen
games TO be played this season. Miss
Virginia Hoy, manager of The sex
tet, has fourteen contests carded.
Both teams will play about an even
amount of contests home and away.
Plenty of material can be picked
from the high school this year and
1t is expected that both Miss Kirk
patrick and Coach Stauffer Will take
advantage and try some of the new
stock. Some forty candidates are
expected out to the first practice
game, at which time the varsity
squad of the boys will be picked,
while a good many new faces will
try for the girls team.
AT present many of the new play
ers, If they are picked, will have TO
do some GALL displaying of form in
order to beat Fine, polkowitz, Cap
tain Martin, Horowitz, Burke, Nc
William and Connolly out of a posi-
ton. while as far as the fair sex
is concerned it will take some splen-
did playing to change the calibre OF

Perth AMBOY BILLS"
ONE OF COMBINATIONS
IN FIRST PLACE TIE

This city is proud of it's repre-
sentative team in the Elks State
Bowling League, one of the three
combinations tied for first place in
the fourteen team circuit. Jersey
City, last years champions, and
Paterson, the titleholders the prev
ious season, are the combinations
tied with the Madison avenue boys.
Going into Thursdays matches,
Union Hill and the three present

most berth. Amboy went to Eliza

setbacks. Union Hill lost three to
Newark, and the latter lodge stepped
to within two games of the leaders.

Kearney beat Hoboken In two games
and Rutherford won two from
Plainfield.
The ame in Elizabeth were
about the best rolled this season as
far as interest is concerned. The
first game was decided by fourteen
pins, the second by thirty-seven and
the last by nine. Tt was the first
time in the history of the local lodge
that the Madison avenue boys ever
made a clean sweep over the Eliza
beth bills" on the Betsytown al
leys.
On account of Thanksgiving there
are no matches scheduled for next
Thursday. but during all of Decem-

last night. There were big dele
cations present from Old Bridge and
other municipalities about this

O'Brien slipped to the canvas in the
final round, but was up without q
count. The two boys mixed in SEN
sational fashion during the inal
minutes of the contest.
Irinz Shapiro, of the East Side OF
New York, gave the fans an excel
lent boxing exhibition in his SIX
round go with Stanley Stevens, OF
Elizabeth. Stevens tipped in at 49,
pounds, five pounds heavier than the
New York boy.
Shapiro bothered Troxler's knock
out king with his left jab through
out the bout generally following in a
successful manner with his right to
the stomach or head. A number OF
times during the six rounds, Stevens
landed a wild blow with his right OF
left, resulting in Shapiro being
checked in his offensives for Sec
onds only. The Elizabeth boxer was
not very successful in his use of the
ropes. Shapiro made a wonderful
showing and probably will be seer
here 500 again.
Local Boys Win
Billy Shirley, popular local boy,
showed sensational form in his first
professional fight, the four round
opening contest last night. He
kayoed Young Pancho, OF Wood
bridge in the second round of the

pounds lighter.
The two boys mixed in rapid FASH

the lions share of the punishment.
Both boxers stepped around nicely
and kept fighting all the time. At
ter two minutes of sensational mill
ing in the second round, Pancho
went down for u count of nine and a
little later went down for another
count. Before Referee McNulty
