Mr.. Bennett, with Mr.. Lipman,

on the Aceys eleven. They make the
matter public in an attempt to
square Captain Somers Steelman, of

interference, with the public.
Both Mr.. Bennett and Mr.. Lipman
are competent officials. Their mis-
takes are few, in fact, this is the

heard them make while officiating

matters by making the mistake

A number OF substitutes, includ-

The Maroon team will be handi-
capped because of the large court
in Atlantic City. They have always,
in the past, played on a small court,
the cage at the high school being
much too small for the playing of
the game AS the majority of the
players have competed on the
resort court, they are expected to
overcome this handicap to a certain
degree.
Atlantic City, as usual, is strongly
represented on the court, and will
give the Maroon quite tussle.
