AMERICAN LEGION
WINS GAME BY
CLOSE SCORE
Newark High School Team Puts
Up Good Game Against
Soldiers

A basketball game of more than
usual interest was played at the
Armory last night between the
strong Newark High School team
and one representing the American
Legion. Interest and enthusiasm
ran high when at the end of the
last half the score stood 1916.
Three extra periods were required
to break the tie. The winning
shot was made by Charles Eissner,
guard for the LEGION team, who
thus won the game for the latter
with the score 1916.
Paul Moore starred for the
High School team making several
difficult long shots from the mid
die of the floor. Walter Holton
and Eissner were the high point
scorers for the Legion five.

OLD DELAWARE
COMES BACK IN
OLD TIME FORM
Wins Three Straight; Local Youth
Stars at + Forward

Alexander, McCaughan, Wills,
Williams and Keith form the new
combination which Coach Shipley
has moulded into finished
quintet. With the above team,
Delaware conquered Carnegie
Tech 35-27, st. Johns 47-18, and
George Washington University
1920 on consecutive nights. The
showing over Carnegie Tech was
distinct surprise, and proved
that despite injury and gradua-
tion of players Delaware is still
one of the leaders of Eastern
Collegiate basketball.
Jack" Williams has played an
excellent game at his new position
at forward. "Sank McCaughan
has proven for once and all THAT
he is one Of THE best centers in
collegiate ranks. Captain Alex
ander, altho not CONSPICUOUS by
heavy lbombardmenc of field goals
like Sank" is the most important
cog i'm the team. Around him is
built the system of defence and
offense. "Sank" and "Alec" work
together like twin brothers, and
the whole team is built upon team
work and cooperation.
The game with Carnegie Tech
was replete with thrills. Starting
with the first blow of the whistle,
the visitors ran up five points i'm
short order before the Blue team
could get started. This did not
last for long, however, as "Sank"
and "Alec" began dropping them
in from all angles and from then
on the advantage lay on Della
wares side.
The St. Johns team, although
game to the finish, was no match
for the Blue and Gold. "Sank"
McCaug'hian was easily the star of
this fracas, and when the smoke
cleared up, had eleven field goals
to his credit. Alexander at guard,
and Williams, alb forward, were
also largely responsible for the
score.
On Saturday night, George
Washington University came on
the floor with a long string of
victories to their credit and con-
fidently expected to add another
to this list. The score does not
indicate how hard the Chicks had
to work to- keep them from doing
so. Here, as before, the excellent
teamwork of the Blue and Gold
was the deciding factor. Keith,
at forward, put up fine game,
effectively putting his opponent
out of the scoring after the first
few minutes of play.
The next home game will be on
Saturday night, january %.

Federal Reserve Board to direct

receipts for wheat and other
grains as collateral on loans.
The U. S. Shipping Board was
considering equipping a line of
ships with refrigerator space for
hauling meat from Argentina and
Australia and dumping hundreds
of tons of cheap meat on our
markets. The Washington repre-
sentative of the farm bureau
federation was on the job and
spoke of the work that caused the
U. S. Shipping Board to nulify
this policy.
Last spring the farmers of Long
Island were unable to get their
seed potatoes down from Maine
due to the car shortage. An ap-
peal was made to Mr.. Silver, the
Washington representative Of the
federation. Mr.. Silver presented
an argument which resulted in
the diversion of one hundred cars
a day to Maine above the normal
car movement there. When fer
tilizers were. needed a second in
vestigation was made and 500
cars were secured for this pur-
pose.

launched i'm New Castle County
