ViSitOrS in Sc to 9
Cage Game
WICKERSHAM GETS
BIG BUNCH OF GOALS

In their second game of the season
the Wilmington High School five out
classed the Newark High School, wal
Looping the boys to the dOleful tune of
56 to 9. The game was resplendent
with almost perfect passing by the
locals and the infallible aim of sharp
shooters Wickersham, Rimlinger,
Jones and Coke. The entire team
worked like a well-oiled machine and
their skillfUl handling of the ball
put the visitors out of the running en-
tirely. Riml;nger secured the first Of
Highs many goals and this was sinm-
ply hint of what was to follow. Cap
lain Wickersham was tho chief Of
fender in the goal shooting crime and
time and again his almost impossi-
BILE shots forced the enemy to throw
up their hands in dismay. Wicky
tossed them in from every imaginable
position and from every nook and
corner of the floor His total for the
afternoon performance amounted to
ten pretty tallies. He also white
washed his opponent. Rimlinger
sneaked in seven goals from guard.
On six occasions the ball bounded
through the net from the accurate
hands of Norman Jones and his floor
work was also noteworthy.
COXes scoring was not as heavy as
the above mentioned men but what
he lacked in this respect was coun-
teracted by the way he followed the
ball. He was everywhere at once and
i'm most of Highs passing Louis was
the central figure. Polly Mat
thews also comes in for a portion of
the glory. This light haired athlete
is developing into a formidable de-
fence man and yesterday proved his
worth to the locals by blanking his
man.
The. first half passed with the rep
resentatives of the Cherry and White
holding tightly 90 the bulky end of a
26 to 3 score AS the old familiar
ballad runs The prospects were not
brilliant for the Newark team that
half"
The second period was simply re-
petition of the opening session and
the merry sound of field goal after
field goal was welcome 10 the ears Of
Wilmington's many followers. After
eight minutes of this portion had
passed Hayward replaced Jones at
forward and Red" Clayton relieved
Matthews The boys put up an excel
lent game. considering the fact that
II was their initial appearance. Daley
made his debut as a basketball star
andeaged a field goal during the few
minutes he played Horty, Evans and
Mccall we're also used during the lat
ter part of this half. Horty added
two more points TO Highs ever IN
creasing amount during his brief stay
and Mccall covered his man nicely
Evans made d favorable impression
and with more experience should
prove valuable.
Champions work at forward was
the only redeeming feature Of the vis-
itor's work. He got eight of his
teams understood total of points.
Tomorrow the Cherry and White
will go to Chester to try conclusions
