tests with Tuckerton and Cape
May High schools. both games
PLAYED away, are all that remain
on the court schedule.
But ii has been wonderful sea-
son for the Maroon, which turns in
a better seasons record than any
five which has played for High
School. Fifteen victories out OF 20
starts, with two games to be play
ed. is a record which few teams in
South Jersey can boast of.
Despite it's strength. Atlantic
City High, the Boys Vocation
al school of the resort, then
Melville and Ocean City high
ouintets all turned in wins
over the Maroon, the Voca-
tlonal school coming through
twice to avenge football de-
feat. Both are on the base
ball schedule, and are figured
as critical games of the con-
tests which have been planned.
Nimrods who enjoy the bark OF

HIGH BEATEN IN

Puts Up Poor Exhibition of
Basketball Playing Ocean

Whatever chances High school
| had towards a Class r title in
basketball went simmering We'd
nesday night as Ocean City High,
twice defeated, won from the
Maroon passers on the big court at
Atlantic City High school by a 16-
IL score. 1t was the first round of
the South Jersey scholastic tourn-
ament.
At the same time Miilville won
from Cape May High by 17-9
count. All four teams gave poor
exhibition of basketball, the big
floor being just a bit too much for
all except the Millville five, which
played the best passing and shoot
! ing game.
The Maroon, with the exception
of Paul Terry, put up the poorest
exhibition of basketball witnessed
this year. But for the scoring of
/ that forward, who placed his team
| in the lead time and again after
fighting through the Ocean City
defense with the ball to register
a field goal, High schools score
would have been less than it was
[ in the recent observation-disclosures
