FRIENDS SCHOOL
BEAT ST. LUKE'S
Defeated Wayne Team Yester-
day Afternoon by the Score
27 to II.

Yesterday afternoon Wilmington
Friends won its eighth consecutive
cage victory, defeating the swift st.
Luke's team of Wayne. by the de-
cisive total OF 27-12. The visitors are
reckoned as one of the strongest
school squads In the vicinity of Phil
adelphia, having defeated Germantown
Friends, Friends Select, and Friends
Central in recent clashes.
Yesterdays game was a fine ex-
ample Of what can be done against
superior weight. The visiting team
were OF heavy build, outweighing the
Quakers perhaps ten pounds to the
man. In spite of this handicap, how
ever, the locals contrived to make a
success of the five-man defense, and
to pile up more than twice their OPP
ponents' score by the regular short
passing attack. This attack is in di-
rect contrast to those employed by
Salesanium and Wilmington High,
whose teams have been notably sue
tcessful.
| Haitsch, Moore. and Munson starred
again for the Quakers. Moore was
high scorer, and with Pyle and Long
the fast forwards, eontrived to amass
a larger number OF field goals, while
Haitsch and Munson played a super
game in holding off the heavy up
floor men of st. Luke's. This is a
notable achievement, for Martinez, q
visiting forward, is noted as being a
neat scorer and something Of a ter
ror TO guards.

THE. FIRST MEETING"
BY Joseph A. Craven.

There's been many game OF basketball,
But the ono evening beat them all.
For at the Delaware Avenue High School gym.
Wilmington High engaged in battle with Salesianum.
Long before the game there wasn't n seat;
Excitement between the schools was at fever heat.
There yells In earnest and yels in fun;
Cheering before and after the game begun,
But there such yell as the one
That told the public Salesianum had won.
Salcsianun has victories and taken defeat
But that win by far the most sweet.
Salesanum you have finished with the fight
You are sons OF the Gold and White
Winners Wilmington High,
victors the Cherry and White.
But credit be given to Coach Ashton
Who has done much for sport in Wilmington.
His boys played with spirit and pluck
And would have with a little luck.
Here's hoping that In future games
Wilmington High will have much success
