The Haddons, in fact, usually struggle for respectability. Then Dave Weideman hap-p Weideman had coached Eastern High to the Olympic Conference title last year and moved over to Haddonfield this fall. Lo and behold Haddonfield is now a prime contender for the Col-nial Conference crown. The Haddons put themselves to the fore front of the race last night by blitzing a strong Audubon team, 75-50, on the losers' floor. Prexies Win In other games of note, Woodrow Wilson dumped Kennedy, 71-56, in a crucial South Jersey Conference Northern Division contest, and Gloucester Catholic edged Holy Cross, 56-52.

"I've got to be happy with the win," Weideman said. "Haddonfield had three coaches in four years and I didn't know how long it would take to get across what I like to do. I took a straight zone team and tried to run with it. I'm very happy with the way they picked it up." Haddonfield has won five straight since a 5-52 opening-night loss at Palmyra and only one game has been at home. Learn From Loss "We were 17 points down in the last quarter of that Palmyra game," Weideman said, "and we knocked it down to two in about four minutes.

The kids were hustling, scrapping, diving for the ball. We learned from getting beaten, because now we know what we have to do." Last night, defense did the trick for Haddonfield. A tight zone held Audubon's high scoring Ken McKee to nine points, all in the second period. "We put the zone up on top of him and made him pass the ball away," Weideman said, "In the second half, John Rell played him man-toman." Reil, 6-4, smothered the 5-10 McKee. League.

"With our boys being sick, we didn't want to use the press as much as we would have liked to," said France. "Our offense is used to running more than we did." "The team has such quickness I have to let them run more. We are stressing defense more this year than other years.

The combined talents of basketball coach Joe France and school nurses Mildred Coyle and Elaine Paul went a long way as Riverside over-came a tough Palmyra team, 77-68, and the flu bug here last night. "Four of our starters had to leave school yesterday due to fevers," said France. "Since the nurses are not allowed to prescribe any type medicine, they told the boys to go home and see their family doctor." Apparently the prescription worked. All four of the Rams returned to the hardwood last night to put it all together for a big Burlington County Conference victory. Both teams played on even terms throughout the first period, despite the fact Palmyra gave indications of running away at times.

But the spunky Riverside quintet never gave up and were only down 18-16 at the buzzer. Palmyra opened a gap early in the second stanza by out-scoring the visitors, 9-4. Riverside immediately went to a pressing zone defense which resulted in Ram baskets by Lou Jones and Wagstaff off steals in the forecourt. Another Jones basket brought the Rams to within three but the tide turned when the taller Palmyra team started to dominate the boards. Eight straight points by the Pals again put France's team in the hole.

Again out came the press. "They have had trouble with the press," explained France. "I know they have been working on it, so I thought we could worry them by using it just at crucial times." Riverside outscored the home team, 8-2, for the rest of the quarter but trailed at half, 37-34. Riverside took the lead for good at 44-42 on Don Rose's 25-foot jumper at 5:40 in the period.

"When we finally start playing at home What Weideman was saying was, Haddonfield has arrived. John Mattoccia was a football casualty this winter. He didn't get hurt while playing, but football did him in for a while none the less. Mattoccia was an early-season starter for Woodrow Wilson last month. Then football players Carl Carpenter and Earl Freeman worked their way into basketball shape and pushed Mattoccia onto the bench.

He was a football casualty. Until last night, that is. Mattoccia came off the bench to score 13 points in the second half, including seven straight free throws, as Wilson won the S.J. North matchup against Kennedy. Mattoccia's Hot Hand Trailing 33-32 at the half, Wilson found Mattoccia's unexpected effort mighty handy.

He also got four rebounds in the decisive third quarter when Wilson outscored Kennedy, 22-13. Kennedy used a press the period, but Ted Britt, Carpenter and Jim Ingraham were successful in breaking it. Ingraham had seven of his 14 points in the quarter. It was the second conference loss for Kennedy, but the division is so well-balanced the Gryphons are still contenders. Pete Carrera, a 5-7 ball handling whiz, hit five of six free throws in the last three minutes as Gloucester Catholic held off rallying Holy Cross.

The Rams led by nine points entering the final quarter, but John Boyle came off the bench for Holy Cross to score nine points in the period.
