UP-COUNTY LADS NO MATCH FOR
MAROON QUINTET SCORE %-N
Captain Green Stars With IL Field Goas-ler Gets Five
Team Has Eight More Games Scheduled

If anyone has the impression
that the High school basketball
team isn't producing this year, if
they think it won't have much of
chance in the Class B tournament
which will be held in Camden early
next month, yell, they just haven't
been enjoying the games which
have been played in the Washing
ton avenue gymnasium Tuesday
and Friday evenings.
The Maroon gave Hammonton
one of it's old time lacings Tuesday
night, running up a 1920 score, the
largest of the season, against the
up-county five. Captain Bill Green
scored for a total of 25 points,
while Miller started to show some
of the form which will give him a
permanent forward post by getting
five field baskets while he was in
the cage.
Hammonton was no match for
the High schooi five. The visitors
played against bigger and faster
team. Their passes were intercept
ed, the High school forwards ana
center having a pleasant evening
shooting the ball over the basket
until Green or Miller reached over
the mob's head to toss it through.
High school has eight more
games, excluding the South Jersey
tournament contests, to play before
the season ends. To date, excepting
last nights game against Glassboro
High school, it has. won ten games
and lost three. But one game has
been lost on the floor here.
Boys Vocational school of Allan
tic City met in the resort court Feb
25, and Cape May High school,
played away March IL, will be the
big contests of the eight games.
Vocational defeated High school
here, by a 1916 score, and the
team, coached by Spencer Bennett,
has not lost single one of its
thirteen contests.
Cape May High was defeated
here by a 1924 score in another
close game. That team is one of
the strongest the Maroon has met
this season.
AS for the other games, Egg Har-
Dor, Ocean City, and Gloucester
High school are met here Feb. Is,
Feb. 81, and March /. Egg Harbor
and Ocean City have been defeated
on their own courts, and are ex-
pected to be easy victims here.
Gloucester is a dark horse, and may
take the Maroon into camp. Not
much is known of it's strength.
Hammonton High school and
Tuckerton High school, two teams
which were defeated here by over
whelming scores, are played away
Feb. IS. and March 8. AS High
school ran more than 40 points up
on both teams, and outclassed them
at all times, they are expected to
fall before the Maroon shooters
again.
Coach Helfrich and Jack Filings
worth will groom their five for the
South Jersey State championships,
which will be played at Camden
starting March 4. The Maroon has
a wonderful chance to win this
tournament this year.
