CAMDEN HERETONIGHT
TO PLAY BROWNSON
Local Basketball Fans Get
Chance TO See Real
Big Game
STARS WILL SHOW
IN VISITORS LINE

Led by loyal army of about fifty
rooters, and with every one of it's
players in the pink of condition, the
Brownson contingent of basketball
tossers will enter the stage at Brown
son Hall this evening with firm de-
termination to overthrow the much
heralded Camden Eastern League
team. The Jersey boys on the con-
trary have not forgotten the defeat
which was administered to them last
season by the locals and are coming
down to the metropolis with their
regular lineup intact and intent upon
avenging the unexpected embarrass-
ment to which they we're subjected
by reason of being conquered by the
"big five" on their last visit to this
city.
The presence of Camden at Brown
son Hall will be the first appearance
of an Eastern League five in Della
ware this season, and needless to say
the Tenth Warders will exert every
effort to win the game and thus DEM
onstrate to Delaware's basketball en-
thusiasts that although at the pres
ent time the Diamond State is resting
peacefully with respect to other lines
of sport it is much alive in the world
of basketball and has one Of the fore
most quintets in the east. It will also
be the first appearance of New York
State stars on a local floor, and these
speed demons from the Empire State
no doubt will give valuable assistance
to the Camden five, particularly on
the defensive, as they have a wide
rpnftatiOu for close Guarding.
In their attack, the Skeeters will
be led by the redoubtable forward and
foul shooter, Jackie Adams. AS a
eager of the one-pointers, Jackie is
without a peer this season. He is also
equally as good at playing the for
ward position, and spectacular shots
by him are not uncommon. Incident
ally Adams was the star of the Grey
stock-Camden game last Wednesday
night. having shot seventeen fouls out
Of a possible twenty-one.
Roy Steele will assist Adams in the
forward work. Roy is another East
ern League star. and when not boost
ing the score by his accurate shoot
ing he is rendering valuable assis
lance to his speedy colleague. Dolin
whose elasticity has made him tbs
ideal center Of the big league, vii
play the pivot position for the Skeet
ers.
To defend their goal, the Jerseyites
will have one of the best pair OF
guards in the east in Dieghan ano
Jimmy Brown. Dieghan is a splen
did man on the defense, while Brown
Is good both on the offensive and de-
fensive. Jimmy is particularly good
on long distance shots. and his cor
railing of the sphere at OpportunC
times has won many a game for his
team.
For the first time in several weeks
Brownson will play their full team
Toe Haney, Delaware's autOcrati'
manipulatcr Of the bouncing sphere
will get back into the game tonight
after an absence o. three weeks. Tit
speed demon of the BrownsOnians hai
been suffering lately from severe
cold and as a result has had to fore
20 the pleasure of boosting his fiel'
goal average at the expense of thu
visitors guards. Mark McDonough
the adroit and brainy forward. viii
assist Haney ir tanning the elusiv
sphere so that it will hop into tn
basket at their command.
Charlie McDonough will play Il
mid-hoor and no doubt will be cor
spicuous by his foul shooting. II
guard Brownson's goal from the al
tack which will be made by tn
Camden team, Johnny Mulvfna ha
assigned Leo Walsh and Hun Ris
ney. Leo and "Hun" are fearless o
the Jersey forwards and will attemT
to repel any invasion which might b
tried by them.
The preliminary game will bring t'
eether st. Elizabeth's and St Ann
of the Brownson League.
