MATAWAN FIVE
REORGANIZED
New Team Will Play at Home
Every Monday Night
New Plan

MATAWAN, Dec. LITTLE reor-
ganized basketball team known as
the Matawan Big Five, stand a fair
chance of becoming one of the lead
ing teams in Monmouth and Middle
sex counties. Great care has been
taken in selecting the players for
this combination and after a few
more games, 1t is declared the team
will be in position to meet any team
of its size and weight in either Mid
dlesex or Monmouth counties.
In the line up of the reorganized
team appears such we'll known bas-
ketball players as Stanley Carhart,
of Keyport, and Ike Woolley of Oak
Shades. Kruscr, of Keyport and the
we'll known local stars, Tassini and
Craig, two of the former Big Five
players, complete the roster. The
team expects to occupy the home
court every Monday night.
Every basketball fan in Matawan
as well as the players, realize that
the court in Geran's hall Is far from
being the best in the world and that
the cramped quarters hinders the
players. However, everyone is
awaiting the completion of the new
high school in Broad street, at which
time 1t is expected the court to be
built in the gymnasium will be one
of the finest in the country.
Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the management of the club,
whereby, music will be furnished,
before, during and after the game
by the new Unity Club orchestra of
this borough.
Negotiations are now under way
to book games with such teams as
the Sterlings, of South River, Niche
lin Tire Company of Midtown, st.
Peters Big Five of New Brunswick,
Carteret Separates and the Melon
nell Lightnings Of South Amboy.

time in local basketball circles as to
whether or not the combination now
sporting the colors of this city is
strong enough to extend the invad-
ing champions when they visit this
city on Christmas night. With
flank" Thomas and Davey Banks
at the forward berths it is admitted
that the Amboys will present the
strongest offensive that it has eve
stacked up against an invading team.
Dewey Schwankert and Cy Estrin
are without doubt the strongest de-
fensive men that ever performed
upon the Lowenkopf & Levin ros-
ter at the same time aad should
give the Celtics' forwards consid-
cradle trouble. The local pivot
man. Pete Eggers. is rated as one
of New Jerseys best and although
his opponent, Joe Lopchick, is con-
siderably taller, Eggers can be
counted upon to play a prominent
part in this battle. With Ray Han
derhan and Pete Hanson ready to
fill any gap that might occur the
local netmen have two courtsters
who are on a par with the rest of
the team and whose insertion in the
lineup will not weaken it in the
least.
Ehilly Hebrews Tomorrow
The same combination that will
take the floor against the Origi-
Celtics, OF Christmas night, will
be see in action at the local Audi
forum court tomorrow night oppos-
ing the strong South philadelphia
Hebrew Association, and the exhibit
ton put up by the Amboy represent
atives on this occasion against the
champion Hebrew quintet will give
fandom an idea of the actual
strength of the Auditorium bas-
keteers.
Thomas, Banks and Handerhaa
will have the advanced posts to take
care of while Pete Eggers will do
duty at his regular pivot position.
Sehwankert, Estrin and Hanson will
fill the guarding berths.
The SPHAS. as the Philadelphia
team is called, will invade this city
with a combination of dribblers that
rank second to none in the entire
city of Philadelphia and who are
the claimants of the Jewish cham
pionship of the east.

Those on the inside say that the

eliminated against and as a result
did not give their best efforts.

events staged to date.
After tonight's race 1t is not likely
that another male race will be put
on until near the close of the racing
season. Last seasons races were not
staged until near the coming of the
summer season.
During the mex few weeks tho
promoters will give their attention
to female races and events, male
basketball games and various exhi-
billions.
With the organization of a roller
skating club the promoters will be
given real support in bringing back
the great indoor game TO its popular
position of years ago. A good many
years back skating was one of the
most popular sports in this section
of the state.

The second clash between these
