PA. High Independents
Bow To New Brunswick
BdSketeerS Last Night

third period found the New Bruins
wickers in the fore. The last ten
minute period was the most excit-
ing ten minutes eve played here.
Sol Polkowitz was injected into the
local lineup for Grieve and his pres
ence was soon felt as he heaved
in two from three-quarters the
length of the court. With five min
utes to go the score was tied but
not for long as Taigia of the visitors
Gagged one. Although fighting as
hard as they could the locals could
not get possession of the ball and
when they did Westcott missed two
from under the basket. The hall was
kept in an uproar throughout this
period.
The Amboy ~basketeers outscored
their opponents from the field, but
to offset this Pete Wisheart gave
one of the best exhibitions of foul
shooting seen this year as he put
tempts. Grieve dropped in IL out
of 16. The New Brunswick team
clearly demonstrated to local fan
dom why it remained A. the state
tournament so long, But Amboy
rooters still maintain that the To-
calls are the better of the two. Rufie
Allen refereed in high class fash
ion calling 80 on the Amboys and
81 on the visitors.
Challenges were received from
several high school teams between
halves. The next game the local
Independents probably will be
against is the South River high five.

CPAIN'S internal troubles reached g
- climax last Thursday when the
long threatened revolution began with
the revolt of most of the army, led by
the captain general of Barcelona, Gen.
Primo-Rivera. That officer declared
a state of siege in the district, seized
the communications and issued a proc
lamation declaring the army called on
the sovereign to W Spain and asking
the dismissal of the present ministers.
Garrisons in other cities adhered to
the military movement, which thereby
assumed the Importance of a real coup
d'etat. The revolt is not directed
against the king. The cabinet de-
clared itself in permanent session and
said it would abandon its position only
under force.
