WILSON PLANS
STRONG TEAM
~SpeedWayS to Choose New
Night for Games on

Through the acquisition of Jackie
Cremmens, of Newark, and Freddie
Dorman, of Hoboken, the Speedways
will have one of the strongest COM
binations ever chosen to organize
the club since its organization four
or five seasons ago.
Only recently, Manager Wilson an
nounced the signing of Ed "Blackie''
Regan, former Amboy star, and the
remainder of his squad at the pres
en-. time consists of Charley Brown
miller, Bob Handerhan and Freddy
Glcchau.
Last Saturday night, this COM
bination Travelled to New York City,
and downed the colors of the Rem
aissance colored quintet of that
place. In the lineup of the Rena's-
sance team r several former COM
monwealth stars, and the new club
is after the honors credited last sea-
son to the Harlemites.
Wilson has discontinued running
Tuesday night games at st. Mary's
Lyceum, Fayette and Mechanic

day or two, the manager and Ath-
letic Director Rev. Father John e.
Larkin will decide on a night to be
used during the b9tence of the sea
son. =
The Speedway manager is receiv-
ing numerous offers for games in

FOR So. RIVER
Fitzpatrick Men Will Engage
Newark Prep ToSSerS on
MiddIeSex Court

The South River high school court
tonight will be the scene of the hard
est battle engaged in by the bas-
keteers of that institution to date
this season. The Newark Prep
courtsters will form the opposition
and, while another victory is eX-
pected for the up-county team, this
contest will be the most interesting.
A victory tonight will make four
straight for the borough team, haV-
ing defeated Keyport, Hightstown
and Matawan, the latter team having
had a century score run up on them
by the Coach Fitzpatrick men.
Last season, South River won
enough games against the leading
teams of the state to warrant them
a place in the state title running.
They lost out though, by n slight
margin, and this year Coach Fitz-
patrick claims to have a far better
combination and feels confident that
his chances of having the up county
school hold the honors, are in closer
sight.
The same lineup will be used to-
night by the SCulh River passers and
it is expected that only the best of
the Newark Prep basketeers will be
brought down to oppose them. The
game will ger under way about $3.50

COUNTY TEAMS
At WOODBRIDGE
So. Amboy High PasSerS on
Barron Avenue Court
This Evening

SOUTH AMBOY, Dec. 19.-The
game tonight at Woodbridge be-
tween the local high school basket
ball team and the court quintet of
that township is expected to be the
hardest fought scholastic contest i'll
this vicinity to date this year.
1t will be remembered that these
two combinations battled in two
games on the township and local
courts last year, and, as both teams
lineup practically the same as last
year, two tough battles arc looked
for this season. Both coaches are
confident and this also adds to the
interest conferred about the engage
ment.
South Amboy has won two vic
tories to date and Woodbridge also
has a start of two wins, so that
a victory for one team tonight will
break the winning streak of the
other, thereby making three straight
for the winners.
The team to take the floor with
the John street boys tonight will
be picked from Oliver, James, Geant,
Sheppard, Lambertson and Adams
while the Barron avenue basketeers
to start for Woodbridge will be
chosen from Drummond, voorhees,.
Balint, DeRussey, Hoagland and
Peterson.
on Friday night of this week.
M|anasquan will form the opposition
for the local high school courtsters
on the auditorium court. This is
also expected to be an interesting
tussle.
