With several OF the varsity play

work yesterday afternoon at the
Baynard Stadium in preparation for
the big game with Chester Saturday.
In view OF the circumstances
which led to the defeat Of Whining

that any glowing statements will be
forthcoming from the athletic au-

other hand nothing in the way OF a
wall has been heard either regard

and White team relative to any turns
which contributed TO their defeat.
Nevertheless the Wilmington High

weak. Ashton's men had few ad-

one was in weight. Yet those little
representatives OF the Black and

not come through with such a weak
team as Downington. a team which

Yesterday afternoon at the
Stadium Coach Ashton sent his en-

drill which lasted for an hour. This
was followed by a signal drill. Ac-
cording to Ashton's plane no scrim-
mage viii be held until Wednesday
afternoon. This afternoon will be
spent in getting their new plays and
signals.
Coach Ashton has seen the Penn
sylvanisns IN action several times
and should therefore have a good
idea OF their play. He will most
likely drill and select his men for the
Chester game accordingly.

Although comparative scores and
records OF the season do not favor
Wilmington High. the Cherry and

and hungry.
worked long hours washing
dishes and drying them and getting
little pay and not much to eat
Some OF these Marseilles restaurant
and hotel bosses knew how to get
the work out OF you.
Then I had a piece OF luck which
was afterward to change my life. as
the German dancer did. 1 met Paul
Latil, a boxing instructor at Mar
seilles. He gave me lessons for
nothing. He showed me how to
bufld up strength. how to box and
duck and crouch.
A lot Of newspaper fellows have
written that I have a jungle style OF
fighting, and that I am sort OF
chimpanzee who has been taught to
wear gloves. 1 was never In the
Jungle in my life. I haven't seen
many chimpanzees and never saw
any fight.
Builds Up Style.
Every fighting man builds up his
own way OF hitting the other fellow
and of trying to keep from being
hit. CAN 1T by what name you will,
the whole game Is to hit the other
fellow and keep from getting badly
hurt yourself.
II I can bend and stoop in such
manner that all the other fellow can
hit is my elbow or the top OF my
head, that's my game. He can't
hurt my elbow, and I have a black
mans head. It can stand lot OF
humping.
Latil used to get sore because my
crouch was not very elepant. 1 told
him It made no difference II II got
there. Soon. as I got bigger and
str onger, used to help with his
gymnasium classes-and kept on
washing dishes.

rounds and beat Frank Roose on
