MAINTAIN
THEIR WINNING WAYS
Defeat Wesley Collegiate Institute
in Return Game by Over
whelming Score of 90 to 10.

Continuing its string of victories, VIII
mington Friends School defeated Wesley
Collegiate Institute by the score Of 63 TO
10 on the local floor Saturday afternoon
This was the second defeat handed TO the
Doverites ly Friends, this year, tho first
being at Dover, February Z, by score OF
GOLF.
As Wesley has defeated most Of the fast
teams Of Delaware, including Dover,
Cmsar Rodney and Salesianum, the two
victories by Friends School by such dc
csive scores would seem TO Indicate That
the local team is one Of the fastest ever
turned out by the institution anil the
fastest scholastic team in the State this
season.
On March 2 they viii oppose Swarth-
more High School, whose record shows no
defeats, although opposed by the best
teams Of Philadelphia and vicinity, and
n battle of the giants may be expected.
Early in the season Wilmington Friends
met defeat at the hands Of Swarthmoro
High and they are eager to avengo their
defeat
Wesley Collegiate at no time was dan
rrrous, IA the Blue and White held them
10 n single basket in the first half, the
score at half time being 32-S. In the sec-
ond half Friends defense weakened and
their opponents were able 10 net four has-
kets.
The floor work and shooting Of the local
team WAS Of tho usual high order. Mode
PLAYED wonderful game. Ills scoring of
fifteen field baskets against team as
strung as Wesley puts him IN the first
rank of scholastic forwards and shows that
he has struck his old time stride. Cham
bcrs, at guard. put UP snappy defense
and is credited with breaking up many
dangerous formations. i. Smiths playing
i'm the first half was of the eilt-edged
variety. Harvey Smith was efficient at
center in both offensive and defensive
plays. Laokey, who has been absent from
practice for n few days, WINS sliphtly off
form at foul shooting, netting only 5 out
of 10 tries, but he struck his pace IN tho
second half and scored five field goals.
Sterling. although IN the game less than
five minutes, showed excellent form, and
succeeded in netting clean shot from
near tho center of the floor Walker and
Hoch starred for Wesley. Walkers floor
work and shooting from difficult angles
were features. The score follows:

THINK OF BASEBALL
WITH SPRING NEAR
High School Boys Will Soon be
Practicing for Great
National Game.

Now that basketball season ia nearly
over and next month is the beginning oi
spring our thoughts are turned towards
the great national game and track. Man
ager Walker of the Wilmington High
School has announced the schedule ia
date. BY close observation ono can soe
that fast and strong teams have been
chosen. A great deal Of credit is due Man
ager Walker for this fact.
The material this year is fine and the
prospects are good. There are seven mcn
left from last years squad-Hayes,
Bounds, Hasting, Ncwlin, Whann, Triblt
and Lapnan. All these players made
their letter last year. Some Of last year 9
subs who served well at their various posi-
tions are likely TO secure that position this
year among these are France, catcher,
and Quigley, outheldcr.
Captain Lannan and 'Buck" Ramsey
are the most likely candidates for the
mound. Lannan has bafiled many n
batsmcn and sent him back to the bench.
Ramsey also has reputation, having
twirlcd fine ball for Newark last season.
All the homo games will be played on
Baynard Field, at Eighteenth and Van
Buren streets.

Trappers X illing Dogs.

Media, Pa, Feb. 23.-Farfners in the
western end of Delaware county arc com
planning of trappers and hunters setting
traps in large numbers along the streams
and in the woodlands bordering on their
farms The farmers greatest complaint
is not so much that trappers are reaping
harvest Of muskrats, skunks and other
fur animals, but because the dogs of the
farmers are becoming trapped in the steel
traps, causing them to perish before they
are discovered Farmers are plaearding
their farms, prohibiting trappers from en-
tering their lands, but they say the signs
do no good, as the willy trappers carry on
their traffic at night.

.LANSDOWNE DEFEATED
BY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Boys Quintet Slows Up on Prac-
tice Play at Camden Friday
Next.

Last week the Wilmington High School
quintet slowed up on practice. Two
practices were held and these were games
between local teams On Tuesday the
Delaware avenue boys rolled up a high
score on Beacon s College, the final score
being 1873 in favor of the Cherry and
White team. In this game Frankie
Pierson, Highs fast forward, secured IS
Of the ll3 points OF these IS points,
but 10 were made from the fifteen-foot
mark.
The noxt practice game was on Thurs
day with Goldey College, but this had TO
be called off, due to cnly three Goldey
players showing mp. Tho scrubs, how
ever, took their place and surprised the
varsity by defeating them. This may
cause a change IN the lineup next Friday
afternoon. when the Cherry and White
quintet goes To Camden TO play Camden.
High School. Camden has had very
successful season SO far, but Wilmington
is intending 70 hsnd them n defeat.
A great deal of talk is to be heard at
the Wilmington High School and Salesi-
anum Parochial School as 20 which school
has the hest quintet. Chester defeated
the Cherry and White team and Salesl-
anum each by one point So We can see
that this game would be very interesting
The glrls team defeated Lansdowne
Friday, 1912. The local team has so far
had a very successful season and the
defeating of Lansdowne, who has not
been defeated for three seasons, adds
greatly to their credit. One would not be
surprised TO see the Cherry and White
sextet come out with the championship of
the State. For Lansdowne Miss Gal
braith and Miss Leopold starred at the
forward positions. Miss King also
played sorappy game at guard. Miss
Seller and Miss Chapman played the
forward positions TO great advantage,
Miss Seller scoring "A of the 35 points.
