svarthmore High is not out of the
running and still hopes to outwit Darby
In the race for the pennant The suburban
athletes wer leading UP until yesterday.
and they are going after Darby High
with plenty of fight.
That's what Captain Yarnall said after
the game yesterday and w. Wood, Place,
e. Wood and Reese. other members on
the Swarthmore quintet, are eager for
another chance.
Indications which pointed to many close
battles in the Delaware County High
School Basketball League were not over
looked by the school fans. and they were
not surprised when Darby upset Swarth-
mores championship hopes. Tomorrow
swarthmore will either step into second
place or take third position. for Chester

In the contest which will break the tie
between these two schools.
Temple Preparatory won a closely con-
tested basketball game with the Salem
High School athletes yesterday after
noon, leading by three points, 10 to 16,
when the final whistle blew. Salem High
presented n strong aggregation OF play
ers.
Coach Callahan officiated for one-half
the game and Mr.. Nicholai, director Of
athletics at the Temple University, was
referee for the other 20-minute period.
Thomas. the Temple forward, was the
high individual scorer for the winning
team, with three field goals and five out
OF 10 goals from the foul line. Dilauro,
the forward, scored only once from the
scrImmage, while Folwell. at centre,
Gagged one field goal. Gladney and Seit-
Finger alternated as guards, and Roberts,
who played the other guard position, add
ed couple of field goals TO the score.
AS has been the case with so many
players this season. Roberts was very
weak at foul goal throwing, with three
misses marked up against him. AS
Temple won by q margin of only three
points. it can readily be understood that
the students at Broad and Berks were
on edge every time the ball was tossed
toward the basket from the fifteen-foot
mark.
Salem High showed unexpected
strength. In reviewing the work OF the
Salem players, Sheppard was easily the
star, with three field goals to his credit,
while Fox tailed two field goals and
Sullivan only one from his position as
guard. Lummis, CENTER and Mcdonald,
guard, were both on their toes every
minute of the time and helped TO keep
salem in the running
st. Luke's School opened its 1916 basket
ball season yesterday afternoon, losing
TO the Wilmington Friends School team
by score of 80 to 23. Coach Frost tried
out number of new men and while
the team did not show up SO we'll in
the initial contest. he thinks with little
more experience the Wayne athletes will
WIN their games. Sargent and Conrad
played forward; Vidmer was center. and
Mekelvey and Saxman held down the
guard positions. Yldmer and Sargent led
IN the scoring for st. Luke's School.
