SUBSTITUTIONS
HURT THE LOSERS

About 500 spectators witnessed the
battle between the Wilmington High
School quintet and the Alumni five
yesterday afternoon in the Friends
School gymnasium The forty min
utes of play was the most spectacular
that has ever been witnessed on the
local floor. At the tap of the bell to
the last second of the play the crowd,
as well as the players, were in an up
roar. The graduates seized the crown
in the last four seconds of the play by
the score of 21 to 90
The first half of the game was feat
ured by the close guarding of both
quintets. The half ended 8 10 4, in
the Alumnis favor
Coach Melssner injected some vim
into the student quintet in the recess
and the bearers of the Cherry and
White came back with flash and
rolled the score to par and by long
passes they easily captured the long
er end or the score by two points
The teams then see-sawed until the
last five seconds of the game, when
Cox strolled in a double-decker that
gave him the honors for the day.
Substitution Causes Defeat.
No one could blame any individua
for the defeat because each mar
played superb game. 1t was nc
disgrace for the boys to lose such Z
game but it is surprising how the,
held their own against such an az,
gregation of stars. Everyone got I
chance to participate in the ARRAY
Coach Meissner took Craig out short
ly after the game started and did no,
allow him TO return until about ter
minutes before the game ended. Crais
is one Of the best scholastic goa
shooters in the east. but being out
of the game so long is seemed that hs
could not warm up to his usual stride
When Craig was sent back into the
game he and Dunn did excellent fiool
work that baffled the Alumni. Another
substitution that proved costly was
when McGuigan was sent in for tho
last thirty seconds of play. Immedi.
ately Coke secured the winning field
