Tonight—Greenpoint at Paterson; Kingston at Yonkers. Sunday—Paterson at Brooklyn; Trenton at Greenpoint. By William J. Waldron An excellent display of team play and the inspiring presence of Jimmy (Soup) Campbell in the lineup, gave the Trenton Metro League five a 41-30 victory over Paterson in the Arena last night. Campbell gave a very creditable account of himself, not only by finally putting in an appearance after several disappointments, but by the brand of playing that he exhibited. He was high scorer for the local five with six field tosses and also was the inaugurator of many other scores by his brilliant passing and floor work. Trenton grabbed a quick lead on a one-hand toss by Glasco. Kearns followed immediately with a field stab, Glasco and Dunn scored foul shots and Campbell netted a sleeper before Paterson could tally on a free toss by Kennedy after five minutes of play. In the first half, which ended with Trenton leading 30-10 only one field goal was scored by the Silkworms, a toss by Kennedy with but a minute to go. Trenton accounted for 12 goals from the floor in the first session. An apparent letup by Trenton allowed Paterson to creep up in the second half, but the Bengals never relinquished a safe lead. Trenton exhibited plenty of class and with Campbell in the lineup to speed the passing attack should lead a merry chase for second half honors in the Metro circuit. Bernie Dunn had a big evening, caging five field tosses and incidentally playing a fine part in the Bengal team play. Paterson was minus the services of Benny Borgeman, scoring star, who is laid up with a damaged hip. Last night was the first time the new foul timeout rule was used in Trenton, and operated very successfully. Time is called by this ruling from the time the referee blows his whistle indicating the infraction until he puts it in the hands of the player on the free throw line. It allows more playing time, and if the Bengals get their games started on schedule no one will mind going home a little later than usual. The score: Paterson. Fld.G. Fl.G. F.T. Pts.
