EXCITING GAME, 27-22;
PLAY SILENT five NEXT

The Perth Amboy Five met their
eighth defeat u of th~irty-eight
games played this season, at the
Auditorium court Saturday night,
when they were nosed out in the last
few minutes by the strong Meadow
brooks OF Newark by a score of 81
to %.
The game was nip and tuck
throughout, first the locals leading
by a few points and then the Es-
sex county dribblers taking the lead.
The Amboy representatives went
into an early lead but the aggressive
playing and spectacular shooting of
the visitors knotted the score at half
time. A long heave by Shartoff just
a fraction of a second before Farley
blew his whistle, terminating acti-
vities for this session, made the score
13-all.
The second canto found both quin-
tets fighting hard for the lead which
the locals took shortly after hostili-
ties commenced. Consistent foul
shooting by the Cremmins, Estrin,
Role, Shartoff, Klugman outfit coup
led with two field goals, gave the
Newark stars another choice VIC
tory.
Role was the only mar on the
visiting team to be held scoreless
from the field, Dewey Schwankert
was assigned to guard, this perfor-
mer and certainly performed his job
in great style. Shartoff besides play
ing a pretty floor game accounted
for two field goals and three fouls
out of the same number of attempts.
S~hartotf's long shot in the first STAN
"a tied the score. Cremmins, at the
pivot played a very fast game, part
ing the shreds for two shots from
difficult angles besides making good
three out of four foul tries. Estrin
was assigned to the task of guarding
out Captain Hank" and while Hank
got away long enough to score twice.
