FIND NO Peril

Wilmington Collegians Easi-
ly Trounce Basketballers
From Orient
LOCALS TRY OUT
SOME NEW PLAYS

The only thing about the Ali-Chi-
nese Collegians. according to their
advance notices. was their makeup
or lineup. They we're All-Chinese.
Heralded as a great cage combina-
ton from Shanghai the yellow peril
proved peril-iess. The Wilmington
Collegians walloped them to the tune
OF 56 to 16 at the Auditorium last
night.
How they put up such a wonderful
battle with the Original Celtics in
New York. on Sunday. according to
the Gotham sport sheets. Is a mys-
terry to the spectators who witnessed
last nights farce. for Il was funny.
The Collegians were all set TO put
up a hard fight against being do
feated and instead were surprised
with the ease they waded through
the Celestials. They showed but lit
tie knowledge Of basketball. Buck
Lai, at center, and Yong, one OF the
forwards. we're the only ones 20 ham
die the ball with any display OF ac-
quaintance with the game.
The signals. uttered In Chinese and
the weird attempts OF the Orientals
caused much merriment for the
fans throughout. Many a laugh was
furnished and the crowd was always
IN good humor. Referee Ben Emory
aided In providing the fun.
With the weak opposition afforded
by the Celestials. the Collegians took
advantage OF the opportunity to
workout some new plays and prac-
tice passing. The snap OF their fioor-
work was the best seen on a local
floor this season. A change in the
lineup found Billy Greenwood at
the pivotal position and he worked
well with the rest OF the crew.
Announcement was made OF the
holiday attraction next Thursday
night when the All-Americans with
Glenn Kiliinger Hinkey Haines and
Charlie Way in their lineup will be
here.

that the open game has materially
cut in on the kicking game.
Coaches when within hailing dis
tsnce Of the opponents goal much
prefer taking a chance on a long
pass over the line than trying a
field goal.
The greatest number Of drop kicks
made by any college player last
year was six. by Fitzke, of Wyoming
In the old days Jim Thorpe. Charley
Brickley or Walter Eckersall would
have kicked that many in a couple
of games with any kind Of luck.
Football has produced many great
drop lxickers. among them being
Hudson. Mt Pleasant, Eckersall and
score OF others.
However, the Babe Ruth" OF
drop kicking was Charley Brickley.
OF Harvard. 1t IS questionable il
baseball will ever sec another Babe
Ruth. II is almost a certainty that
football will never see another
Charley Brickley.
The new game features the for
ward pass. II is the big threat.
The chance for long pass to sue
coed is even greater than the possi-
bility OF a drop kick going over the
crossbar.
tn new game doesn't call for so
much drop kicking as the old style
of play. Incidentally a forward
pass that results directly or indi-
rectly in a touchdown counts Just
twice as much as a successful drop
kick.
Charley Brickley, during his ca
reer at Harvard. kicked 65 field
goals out of something like 20 at
tempts. No other player in the
history OF the sport has done any
thing in the kicking line that quite
approaches Brickley's record.
In one game with Yale he booted
the ball over the bar five consecu-
tive times. In a game against
Princeton during the season OF 1912
he kicked three field goals after
Princeton had taken the lead boy
scoring a touchdown. one OF hi,
goals was booted from the 47-yarc
line.

Minor league baseball had rather

Most OF the leagues. in an effort

the minors 10 refuse to fall for the
draft rule. They are not 20 be
blamed for that attitude, consider
ing the real money the majors
handed out.
Il seems to me that Il would be
very wise move for the major league
rnagnates to operate a couple OF
minor ieague clubs, in addition to
their major franchise.
A minor league team would en-
able the major magnates 10 have
school for their young players. A
veteran player noted for his ability
to develop youngsters could be
placed in charge OF the team as
manager. Such a player could carry
out the wishes Of the major league

a major league club usually anil
ates itself with various minor league
clubs Of different classifications. In
some cases these alliances have
proven very valuable.
However. II a major league club
controlled its own minor league

manager to follow.
