III. S. CORRESPONDENT

On account Of examinations being
held the early part of this week there
is no game scheduled for the local
high school representatives until on
Friday afternoon. At that time Me-
tuchen will be given a chance to see
the local Miracle Team" in action
at the brainy borough balliwick,
Coach r. S. Waddell was well sat
isfied with the showing of his cohorts
on Friday night at the State street
gym. While the teams offensive
can be improved the five man de-
fense tried by the Pacemakers was
well nigh impregnable, only two
field goals were registered by the Wis
itors.
That night games are sure to be
popular was also shown when one
of the largest crowds that ever saw
a school game in this city was on
hand Friday. There are but two
more evening games scheduled for
this city, however, there is a posi-
hility that several more may be add
ed to the schedule providing that the
faculty gives its consent. 1t is noped
that such will be the case as there
are many in this city who would like
to see the crack basketeers in action.
The thing lacking at the school
to accommo odate a large crowd is
the shortage of available seating ia
ci1itieS. This can be alleviate1 by
the building of a grandstand around
the gymnasium.
A portable section Of stands would
not cost much and they would take
care of quite a few. The newly cr-
ganized Varsity club should see if
something cannot be done TO better
the present conditions.
No practice sessions will be held
until Thursday. For the first time
in nearly a month the coach will put
on Friday night the strongest 1ve
cbtainable at the State street school.
The work carried on by the team
SO far this year surely earns them
tha sobriquet OF Miracle Team"
A large crowd will accompany the
quintet on Friday and see the Am
boyans hang up their ninth win Of
the present season.
