Coscb Ouinlan's protcgcs in the Camden

Select
Chestnut Hill Academy continued its
winning streak. This time Palmyra
Nigh was taken into camp. 81 to ID.
ITO think that Chestnut Hill, with such
players as Tarnowsky, Johnson, Saucrs,
lIcsSp aud Gonzales, would think of
giving UP the game for lack of ma
tGia.
Football Star Wins Cage Game
Il happens every once in while that
football star wins an important baS-
krtbal game. Ted Ferry, former cap
lain of the Radnor High School team,
now playing guard on the cage quintet,
won the game with IlavcrfOrd School
when he tullicd field goal in the sec
Cnd extra period necessary to decide
tle winners.
At half time it was tic score at
ito II. Then each team scored foul
n au extra period following the first
pointer came after the foul. 1t
was the big annual gam" on the Radnor
FOSTER and the contest which brings
more joy with victory than any other
game.
