There he kibitzed idly with guards while three floors above the lawyers worked out the details with Prosecutor Edward Fitz-patrick and Judge Morris Pashman.

But the last period only showed that Passaic nerves were shattered. Shoving, butting, tripping, thrusting, Passaic tried to cripple Hackensack, was many times penalized. Pashman (Passaic) rendered Fast (Hackensack) unconscious for several minutes. Hackensack scored four points on fouls?the exact margin by which, when Referee Wallum blew his whistle, they found they had won. Fast, Weatherby, Bollerman, Green-leese, O'Shea were hoisted high on Hackensack heads, shoulders.* Krakovitch, Russel, Rohrback, Adams, Pashman were seen to weep as they...
