Princeton Nassau came. they

they were conquered 40 to 81 by the
Wilmington Collegians but they won
their way into the hearts OF the 100
or 80 fans present with the classiest
basketball ever seen In Wilmington,
forcing the Auditorium aggregation
to perform beyond itself TO gain the
decision. Every man on the West

a super athlete and everyone else
present was on their feet raving to-
ward the end OF the game.

modern version OF the court sport
