BLUE AND GOLD
TO TACKLE NAVY


Special to The Evening Journal
NEWARK, Jan. 17.-Coach Ship
ley will put his basketball squad
through a hard practice this after
noon preparatory to the annual
game with the Navy at Annapolis
tomorrow afternoon. This will be
the third annual game between these
two teams. Delaware is proud OF
the fact that they won the previous
two games played with the great
Navy team and Il will be no secret
TO say that the Blue and Gold are
expecting no such proud results this
year.
Coach Shipley however has been
working hard this week to get the
Delaware team In shape for a battle
Just who Shipley will start against
the Navy team is something that has
every member OF the basketball
squad on edge. He Is far from satis-
fed with the work OF some OF the
players who he started in previous
games and they will have TO show
more STUFF to make a place even
to start against the Navy.
The selection to start against the
Navy tomorrow is between. Captain
Willis, Ramsey, Williams. Keith.
Betzmer, Robinson. Jackson. Lowell,
Cole McKelvie and Mcdonald.
Delaware will also go to Haver-
ford Friday night to play Haverford
and Wednesday night OF next week
will play Penn in Philadelphia. After
this game there will be no more
collegiate contests until February
10, owing to the mid-year eSamina-

The second game was not unlike
the first, with the exception that the
teams were more evenly matched
and the enthusiasm was greater. II
was a contest OF the intercollegiate
type. Second Baptist had been de-
feated by the youngsters from st
Paul on every other occasion that
the two teams met and were out
for revenge. They got away to a
good start and held the lead well
into the first period. but the Foster
twins were a little peeved at this
and before long the Baptists were
taking their dust Les Deakyne and
Ewing were the only men who could
seem TO get under the basket long
enough to take a shot. Cole for the
ST. Paul crowd did some fine work
taking the ball all around the Sec
ond Baptist boys. He was excep-
tionally good from the penalty line
for this is what put-the Baptists on
the short end OF the score. He shot
six out OF a possible nine.
In the second half the Baptists
came back strong and outplayed St
Paul from every angle OF the floor
allowing them 10 get but one field
goal. Their shots at the basket were
few and far between for Carmichael
and Almond guarded them like
hawks.
Deakyne and Ewing were the
mainstays for the Seconds having
little or no trouble breaking through
st. Paul defence.
