At the Peoples Settlement yesterday
afternoon the Wilmington High School
basketball team threw a jolt into the
Weleyan Collegiate Institute quintet
TO the tune of ~ to "a.
Although the Dover quintet put up
hard battle it took the players from down
state until well into the second half before
thev seemed to get their eyes on the bas-
ket. The first half ended l6 to 4 with the
local cagers on the long end.
In the final period the Institute tosscrs
made most Of their shots count and battled
on almost even terms with the Highlets.
The game although played hard to the
finish was clean throughout. Very few
fouls were called snd all but one or two
were technical.
Tolln again put up q fast floor game for
the HighIets and his passing as one of the
features Of the game. starting most of
the PLAYS which resulted in field goals
for Wilmington Aside from tossing in
3 field goals himself which were far from
free shots, he could easily have been
credited with ten assists. Carter al center
for Wilmington also put up clever floor
game and was also high scorer, tossing

'OU|MET RECEIVERS
AMATEUR STATUS
National Golf Body, at Annual
Meeting, Reinstates the Former
Champion.

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.--Francis Ouimet,
former amateur golf champion, who was
under suspension by the United States
Coll Association for alleged professional
ism, was reinstated by the association at
its annual meeting here last night. +. s.
Wheeler of New York was elected PresI-
dent to succeed Howard W Perrin.
Although there WAS little of unusual
business expected to entertain the dele
gates, they took II upon themselves To
reconsider the case of Ouimet. Ii was
contended that inasmuch IN Ouimet was
now in the national army and not IN
business connected with the professional
side of golf, it would be proper to reinstate
him to amateur standing Most of the
retiring officials and those elected at the
meeting tonight favored placing Ouimet
back into the good graces of amateurism.
There was no opposition TO the nomln-
ations offered by the Nominating Com
mittee. Howard W. Perrin, the retiring
President, made it known that his business
would not allow him further 10 act as the
executive head of the national body.
The new President addressed the dele
gates, as did MIR Perrin.
The case Of Ouimct, which was brought
to an abrupt conclusion tonight, has kept
the political side of gold seething Tor
almost two years. 1t was in April, 1916,
that the Executive Committee declared
Ouimet ineligible for further amateur
competition and at the same time retired
JohnH. Sullivan, Jr., of Boston, partner
of OlIimt.. in his Boston business, and l'aul
! Tewksbury. also, to the ineligible list.
Tewksbury since has been reinstated.
A former President of the L. 5. &. A.
was investigating the case of another
golfer when he ran across conclusive
proof that Ouimet was about TO violate
, the amateur rule In fact the then
President of the national body was
! asked TO give his opinion on the status
of Ouimet should Ouimet enter the Boston
business Ouimet Was instructed not TO
60 into the golf supply business II he
wished TO continue as an amateur. Ills
subsequent disbarrnent followed. The
Woodland Golf Club, of which Ouimet
is a member. made a desperate fight to
have Ouimct reinstated at the last annual
meeting, but lost its fight.
The officers elected at the meeting,
besides Mr.. Wheeler, were:
Vice Presidents, DR.. Walter S. Harlan,
Edmunds, ST. Louis Country Club,
[ olumbia Country { lub, and Sterling
Secretary. Howard +. Whitney, Nassau
Country Club; Treasurer, Mortimer n.
