gether before. Surely not in Will
mington. They should be named the
Aii-Around All-Americans. for each
one OF them has shown his su
periority in all the main branches OF
sport.
It takes only FIVE men to make
basketball team and with Way.
Rothensles, Haines. Killinger and
Kohler the Ali-Americans have that,
But in this mere less than a half
dozen Is the neucleus for building
either a powerful football or base
ball team. The versatility OF these
men has already been written in
bold face type in the history OF sport
OF the country.
Many fans. no doubt, have been
asking the question as 20 how the
Wilmington Coliegians are fitted 10
cope with such a formidable foe.
They may or may not remember the
wonderful record compiled by the
University OF Delaware when Nc
Caughan and Alexander were mem
bers Of the Blue and Gold cage squad.
Some OF the best college quintets
were forced to taste the dreEs when

defenders OF the colors Of the New
ark institution. Both men were rated
high by the experts who saw them
in action and they are well able 20
come.
The remainder OF the squad have
not been under fire like these two
young veterans, but they have had
considerable experience. Billy Green
wood first came into the limeliEht
as a member OF the best basketball
/ team ever seen az the Wilmington
/ High School. This team included
Gray Carter. who performed so
nobly as a mate on the best team
ever a tDclaware. with McCaughan
and Alexander. Tollln. who made

leaving High School. Greenwood has
4 played with a number OF local
teams. chiefly with Grace cham
pions Of the Church League. but his
most noteworthy accomplishment is
the making OF the Drexel Institute
five He Is regarded as one OF the
mainstay Of the squad coached by
Bill McAvoy.
Bill Longacre, the sturdy and de-
pendable guard, is a product Of the
local gymnasiums. He showed his
best in his climb to the top In the
old Y. NJ. c. A. leagues and has
continued in his development. The
two Bills. Longacre and Greenwood.
are exact opposites in playing types.
Longacre is an altogether defense
man, while Greenwood is mostly on
the offensive. He Is a dead shot and
must be covered constantly.
The Garvine brothers. Gin and
Jack. have had considerable experi-
ance at the court sport and can be
rated with the leaders locally In the
popular indoor pastime. Both cut
their teeth in the game at Girard
College. which is known In the ath-
letic world In and around Philadel-
phia for Its speedy cage combina-
tions. They have displayed their
worth time and again in local con-
tests. George Boggs. the other
member OF the squad. is another
product OF Wilmington. He Is known
for his inside knowledge and for his
expertness Of relieving an opponent
OF possession OF the ball. especially
when the latter is dribbling. George
is an excellent floor man.
How the Wilmington Collegians
will stack up against the Ali-Ameri-
cans remains 10 be seen. II IS a cinch
that both teams will be in there try
ing their hardest from start TO FIN
