The Cony High school basketball
season will officially open this eve
ming with game against the alumni
at Assembly hall. The Cony team is
as yet unpicked and Coach Comedian
will send the greater part of IL men
into the conflict during the game. I'm
less the whole dope goes wrong the
game will be a contest between two
teams of altogether different style of
playing, the school team being COM
posed of bunch of fast. shifty drib-
blerS with a peculiar aptitude for the
use of the fake pass, while the alumni,
which has not played together as a
team this year, will have to rely on
fiashy individual work to pull through
in the win column. Bonn and Brennan,
both long shot artists. should keep the
team in a position to score, and the
floor work of Thyng. McCourtney and
Poor will be of the first water.
Cony teams seem to hold a peculiar
jinx over alumni teams, for many
times an aggregation composed of
some of the best amateur talen in the
city has gone across the river to play
the Red and White and the dope has
been unkindly upset. The team which
will represent the grads this year
should bring home the bacon, but the
dope is very apt to go wrong.
The team which will represent Cony
on the floor tonight is only too capable
of upsetting the above mentioned dope.
The school team under Comedian has
in the past exhibited whirlwind at
tack on the floor with every man play
ing the ball. and with a series of we'll
executed fake passes. one of their best
stocks in trade, and the disconcerting
habit of pivoting around the defense
men is decidedly dangerous to a team
presenting an individual attack.
The game will start promptly at 7.45
and should be one of the best of the
season. A powerful individual club will
meet team which is capable of pass
ing away from almost any high school
team in the State. A dance will follow
the game.
