Wilmington High School football |
team closed its season yesterday in a
brilliant game by defeating Norris
town by a to score. Fifteen hun
dred fans with the Wilmington High
School goat and fife and drum corps
saw the game.
Between the halves the students
marched around the field singing the
school alma mater and cheering till
the air fairly rang with the voices
of the happiost boys, girls, men and
women in town. One of the features
of the morning was the spirit shown
by the school Alumni, who turned
out in a large body. II is this body
that is to present the playlet, "The
Janitor" at the Garrick next week
and one of the things that created
a quiet laugh and a good deal Of
comment was the cheer given by this
body in favor of the play that they
are to present.
The High School had not de-
feated Norristown for four yearsS
and the fans showed their apprecia-
ton of the victory by the parade that
took place after the game. The stu
dents marched along the streets send
ing forth their cheers and yells at
every corner. Several of the Alumni.
headed by George Golterman, headed
the parade for awhile.
DonOhue, the quarterback for Will
mingtOn, was the hero of the day, win
ming the game with two goals from the
field, one in the first and the other in
the last quarter. The latter was from
difficult angle. Norristown fought
hard, but the teams were evenly
matched as to lines and the kicking OF
Donohue did the trick.
Loose, Gabriel and Marston also
put up a splendid game.
The spirit shown by the High
School student body, under Cheer
Leaders Thoms and Craig, never has
been equaled I'm the history of the
High School. The students paraded
and also cheered and sang in re-
markable manner during the game.
They had their own fife and drum
corps. too. Under the efficient coach
ing of DR. William IT. Speer, an
alumnus, the High School football
team has had a very successful sea-
son. DR.. Speer has given his time
and spent much of his own money for
supplies and equipment for the team
