Jimmy's mother is asking. The

offset the devotion and training of

BECAUSE OF VACATION
tHigh School Correspondent


All existing hope for an Amboy-
South River high school contest to
decide the county championship was
blown to the winds yesterday when
Coach Robert S. Waddell left for his
home in Philadelphia for the Easter
holidays without making any an
nouncement regarding an anticipat-
ed tussle.
Sports at the local school will be
at a standstill during the next ten
days as the school has closed for the
Easter vacation. When school re-
opens baseball practice zill begin in
earnest in preparation for the fac
ulty contest which opens the season
for the locals.

track squad in training in prepara-
ton for the Penn relay game. to be
held at Philadelphia on April 81 ard

make a better showing than last

Frank Mccormick, an alumnus Of
1911, has voluntee' I to help coach
the track team and he will also see

ran with the winning Amboy high

WADDELL OFF
FOR VACATION
Locals Lose Chance to Com
pete With South River for
County Honors

Just as a chance to participate in
the state championship tourney was
passed up, so Coach Robert s. Wad-
dell intends to slip up on an oppor-
tunity to annex the Middlesex county
scholastic championship as O result
of his failure to communicate with
Coach Johnny Fitzpatrick of South
River before departing for his Phila-
delphia home to spend the Easter
vacation.
The basketball representatives Of
the local high school went through
the season without dropping a con-
test in eighteen starts, which is a
record but there were no real won
der-teams" on the schedule prepared
by Manager Dieker. A communica-
ton was sent to Passaic high school,
the wonder team" although it is
believed the local representatives
were aware Of the fact that such a
meeting was impossible.
South River, South Amboy and
New Brunswick were entered in the
state tourney and the local coach
failed to take advantage of a chance
to enter. an opportunity given to all
members of the state association.
Now that South River, county
champions for seven years, has dis
posed of New Brunswick as a con-
tender, Coach Fitzpatrick let it be
known that he is willing to play the
locals providing they are desirous Of
playing. Coach Waddell failed to
communicate with South River and
has failed to divulge his plans before
leaving for his home.
