Jottings From Our Schools Coach Unger And Team Have Wonderful Trip To New York 1iicb school battkkt-ball artists render fine ac-! count of themselves against passaic wonders. will clash with pleas a ntv1lle friday

T basket-ball team of the Oce..,. City High School, travelled 1 li> train last Thursday week, Dec. 21st, to Passaic, and was defeate.l 1 by the Passaic iHgli School, the "Wonder Team" of New Jersey, holders of the State Seholastic Champinnship for the past three years, the score standing at 109 to 1 10. The game was hard-fought, ' and very fast from the beginning to the end. Our boys played a remarkable game, and times flashed 1 ed exhibitions of passing, which against a less formidable array, would have proved effective. Judging from the score one would j |hink that it was a runaway for f the "Wonder Team" — true; but y not such a runaway as one would i have thought, if they could have ) seen the game. After the game ( was a few minutes under way, the slogan "We want two hundred" in,*,,,, "c wain iwu nuntireu was started by the Passaic root-

ers. The louder the slogan ranged, the harder our boys played. And at the end of the game, we . found that our defeat was not j nearly as bad as other teams that , had been defeated last year. j We were somewhat handicapped -j by the immense site of the court. , the C inch extensions, absence of . a cage, and playing out of bounds. . Further, our boys were not accustomed to playing liefore such a large audience, which numbered around 2,000. Then too, the game was forty-fire minutes late in ° starting. The game was scheduled . to start at 4:00 o'clock, but did 5 not get underway until 4:45. No J one knows except the players, I what a worry ant! a strain it is to wait until the start of a tlelayed game. - ~ The game was played according ' to the new rules, calling for four ten minute quarters. No credit will lie given to any individual player, but great credit is due to everyone of our boys. They played hard anil they gave a the best that was in them. How- o ever, it might be stated that Baron fi scored two field goals off of Knoth fi who .for the past two years has y been chosen the all state guard, tl and Gibb held Keasler, the all- t< sate forward to 11 field goals. li We played the Passaic first team T throughout the whole playing time P except 'the last three minutes when p a number of substitutes were sent in. Mr. E. A. Blood, coach of the h. "Wonder Team" although a per- t< sonal friend of Prof. Unger, didiO|

s not show any mercy upon his 1 team. However, Prof. Unger will forgive Coach Mood for his over- i j sight, for we didn't care to play ) . his reserves, but desired to play: the first team. ! As usual, hundreds of people j ( were turned away, being unable to , gain admittance to the gymnasium owing to lack of room. Many of i ; the followers of the Passaic j, team were on hand three and four I I hours before the game started. , t The line-up and box-score: L Ocean City j ( f.g. fl.g. pts.

OC.H.8.— LEST WE FORGET To prove that our team is just good, if not better than some of the other teams who were deby Pasaaic last year, a few will be mentioned. Last Passaic defeated Dumort in first game of the season, 72 2. Later, Passaic defeated Williams Pry, of Stamford, Conn., 145 to 5. In each of eight games scored more than 100 points. In tfli last three years they won 91 games, rolling up a total of 5,380 points against their oponents' 1,623. Passaic has wml-

' loped teams of individual stars. ' One of these was the "All Srholas1 ties," composed of picked players from five Philadelphia High Schools. Passaic won by more R than twenty-five points. Another " time, Passaic defeated on a foreign floor, a team of college stars, _ four of them college captains. L Now, we believe that everyone is familiar with the kind of a team ■ we played; however, everyone of ; , our hoy9 were glad to have the - 1 opportunity of not only seeing the "Wonder Team'1 but playing ttiem. Our boys feel that they gained 'considerably by experience.. » GIVE THANKS J The members of the High School J ! basket-ball team, and coach Un- ,, 1 ger, wish to thank the following ■ men for the contribution, which 1 e j they made toward financing the : 'team's expenses to Passaic: Reub-' ■ en Edwards. WUliam Massey, .'Ralph Chester, Clayton Haines ' I Brick, Dr. Allen Corson, Edward r i Sutton, Randolph Fogg, Dr. ThornI ley Hughes, and Ira Johnson. The guaranteed amount from 1 I Passaic, and the amount eontribut•ed, paid the railroad fare. { The expenses in New York City ; . > j were paid by the boys themselves. 1 1 -O.C.H.8.i A MEMORABLE TRIP ' It is believed that there never t a finer trip, participated in a any baaket-hall team than the u one which the Ocean City High . School basket-ball team recently . t had. On Thursday morning, Dec. S the team accompanied by 4 Coach E. E. Unger, took the 9.10 v train out of Atlantic City for v In Newark, they had ii From Newark, they t. went by trolley to Passaic. The ' t was played at 4.45 P. M. h caring to remain in Passaic n night, after being walloped a score of 109 to 16, they took C 7.10 train on the Erie R. R. C New York City. After inter- a viewing several hotels, they decided to put up at the Penn Po*t,'e' corner 31st st. and 8th ave. After b; registering and eating their din- ti it was too late to take in a ai so they decided to visit h

s. Chinatown. Before 3.00 o'clock on [ i- the following morning, they had s taken in everything around Chat-; h am Square (Chinatown and the e Bowery.) Among the most imr portant places of interest were the - Joss llou-e on Mott >t.. and tba Rescue Mission, 5-7 Dover st. On Friday morning, the boys e took a Fifth ave. bus at 23rd st., n ! and rode up Fifth ave., viewing fimilMtmnires' residences, etc. At e,:G7th sL the bus crossed over toi e :72ml st., then crossed over to, i. Riverside Drive. and passed il Grant's tomb and also Columbia; University and on up to 105th st. From there they walked to the | Polo Grounds, where Bal>e Ruth knocked his home runs. From the I Polo Grounds, they went to Bronx ' Park. Thare they saw all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, flowers, '(etc. Bronx Park has the largest s zoological gardens in the world, .i In the afternoon the boys went to the Hippodrome, 6th ave., and J 46th st., and saw "Better Times." I In the evening they went to the Columbia Theatre. Broadway and 47th st., and saw "Dan Colman" ( ami the "American Girls.'1 Friday evening, the boys thinking that they would like to be a , little more stuck up and lie nearer ; went after their grips i at the Penn Post Hotel and went i and registered at the .Marlborough . corner Broadway and 36th st. : They fortunately secured rooms on | the third floor facing Broadway, and there they slept to the music; of old Broadway. Saturday morning they visited : .the Brooklyn Bridge, Wall st.,i Sub-Treasury building, Stock Ex- ! Change, and last, but not least,.) went up on the top of the Wool- (I ' worth Building, 792 feet and 1 ; I high, 60 stories. From the ; of the <Woolworth Building, : i ! they viewed all the places they i i j seen the past two days anil 1 « The team h. anted thc Atlantic j i ( Express which left Jersey [ s i 3.03 P. M. and arrived home ! at 7.00 o'clock. All the hoys acknowledged that' even though they were defeated Passaic, they had a wonderful > time. The trip was educational t and instructive. Only two of them | ever been in New Y'ork he- t

n : fore. Those who made the trip 1 •I were Edwin Barron, John Boswell, , t-l Scott Adams, Marcus Blackmail, , e Charles Gibb, Mar.lev Fitzgerald, . i- Tom Aiiams and Couch Unger. , ' scattered thoughts j BY AN "UNKNOWN" v We wonder sometimes, If it is 1 t right for teachers to give pres- 1 0 ents to their pupils, uml to receive v 0, presents from them. It Is somed times a hardship on a teacher, esa pecially one who isn't paid any t. too large a salary, and who have e dependents to support, to present t h each of their 60 or CO pupils with e c a present. A number of the pupils r \ can not afford to buy presents. I f Then too, it might lie better to * 1, turn our attention to those, who o t are really in need of gifts. One - teacher in our local schools told - t her class not to buy any presents 1 for her, but told them to contri- .' " but* their money, that they would s use in buying presents for her, to i someone twho was in need of it : " more than she. She told them that whatever money they would care - to raise, and contribute to thc i Belgiums, she would equal this ! (] r amount. The result was that > nearly $15.00 was raised. We do' l of several schools in New i Jersey where the teachers are not . allowed to give nor to receive : i presents from their pupils. -QgCJU. I The old year has died. Thc I year has been born. Now , students of the Ocean City High ^ • School, we hope you have selected | ..good resolutions as you would S have selected an exit to a theatre. matter how many resolutions i : you have made, and broken, make , more. It is a fact that makgood resolutions is good moral exercise when you do it eanestly, even though you don't stick to thc resolutions as long as you hope to stick. -o.c.H.a. i Students, did you know that Thursday, Dec. 21st, was the shortest day of the year. This was the day that our hasket-ball team played the Passaic Wonders. To them the day may have seemed
