FROM CAMDEN

Wilmington High School again drank
OF the bitter cup Of defeat, this time
handed 10 them by the Camden, n.
j., High School five. That the
drought was a long one, is shown by
the 40 to 25 score The game was a
great disappointment as the local
boys expected victory. The yisi-
tors proved themselves TO be a bas-
ketball team through and through,
and the game was easy for them. It
was plain to be seen that they had
tackled much tougher propositions
than the Cherry and White. and they
had a business like way about them
from the start. At that their lineup
was almost new, as four of the reg
ular men were out OF the game.
