Basket Ball
Season Nearing End
Mechanics and PennS Grove Win
This Week and Tighten
League
STANDING OF THE TEAMS

The basket ball season is drawing to
an end, but with four of the teams
very close, altho still leading the
standing by half a game, the Service
Engineers are practically out of the
winning, for they had to default the
last two games scheduled as their
players have been lost mostly by in
juries and they do not have five for a
team. Two games were played this
week Thursday. The S. & f. de-
faulted to Penns Grove, who then
played a previously postponed game
with the Laboratories and did the un-
expected thing to win by a decided
margin, q to II. The Mechanics,
however, did the more unexpected to
defeat the Operators by an unbehev-
able margin of 80 to Is.
Penns Grove began by making a
field goal and two fouls before the
Labs started, but when the latter did
begin, they pulled up and tied, and
then led till the first half ended in
their favor, 10 to 8. The Labs did
splendid work in this half and seem
ed to be steadily improving at seor-
ing.
In the second half the Labs began
the scoring but before long showed
that they had lost a bit of that fast
stride they had had in the first period.
To make it worse for them Penns
Grove pulled into the rE1atest play
ing they have ever shown. 1t was fast
hard team work and good scoring com

BOYS HAVE HEAP BIG POW pow

The Hoot Owl Council gave its
first big feast and pow pow, on
Tuesday evening, in the \. NJ. {. A.
gymnasium with nearly 80 braves
in attendance. This Boys Depart
ment which is under Physical Director
Joseph Crockett, gave an exception
ally fine banquet, followed by a camp
fire meeting, which was open to the
public.
The feast was a big thing, for the
braves provided practically everything
except the dessert, ice cream. Each
of the six tribes set their w table
with the decorations and had the CHIEF
sit at the head. No pale face squaws
were admitted and, so, the braves
served. At the table for guests We're
Albert James, of Wilmington, Del;
w. l.. Duncan, Rev. Frank f. Depue,
Joseph Crockett, C. A. Thurston, j.
II. Green, and DR.. Fred Summerlll.
The awards were given for the best
table. First, Arrow tribe; second,
Wild Cat tribe; third, Red Deer tribe;
fourth, Fox tribe Then after the
feast each tribe gave competitive yells
which were loud and poppy. In this
the Fox tribe was first, Wild Cats
second, Red Arrows third, and Red
Gods tribe fourth. Then when Big
Brave INK" read the standing for the
best behaved, each was happy to learn
he was first, as all had been good
thruout, but the Red Gods tribe was
given an extra credit because they
were without a main chief.
w. L. Duncan was the speaker of
the occasion with his subject, play
ing the Game" He began by giving
practical examples shown by Indian
life, then by telling the cooperation
so well shown by playing football. All
were shown to lead to building q
strong heart and body, a clear head
and spirit. The sacrifice of Capt.
Cakes in the Shackleton expedition vas
wildly shown the greatest way in
playing the Game"
The entertaining program was then
given in the auditorium with Indian
team games, knock-em-down-set-em
up, in and out, wand race, relay, mon
key and crab race. In these the Red
Arrows, Wild Cats and Red beers led
in winning. The tribes then went
into a campfire sitting with Chief
James in charge, and five minute
speeches. The first, What Makes a
Brave, by Dram Hunt, vas exception
ally written and well zpoken. Why
Should a Boy Go to Sunday School,
and Why Should a Boy Go to Gym
Glass were given by Jesse LOven and
Gene Walker, respectively. Joseph
Herbert then spoke on Why Should Q
Boy Go to High School, and it was a
lengthy mature talk in a complacent
manner that held the interest of every
one.
There followed individual contest
of challenges between braves of differ
ent tribes. They were knee wrestling,
cock fights, hand wrestling, bull fights.
neck tug, talk tests. wrist wrestling.
The boxing bouts in which the con-
t~estants were blindfolded and given g
chair to sit upon OF a barrel to stand
in We're hilariously enjoyed by all.
The boys were led by W.. L. Dun
can in spiritedly singing several or
their songs, after which a good talk

rector at Kamp Karney last summer.
and the evening ended with all hannv.

Valuations Decrease. APP
preparations Decrease

Salem County Board of Taxation,
William Hannah, Secretary, made
known the assessed valuations and
tax rates in the municipalities of the
county on Tuesday. P~ittsgrove has
the highest rate, S4.65 on 500.
Penns Grove comes next at $4.07, a
jump from $500, an increase of 81
cents on 500.
The cause is made mostly by the
decreased valuation on properties
owned and leased by the du Pont
Company, amounting to $322,094. The
school population keeps up while many
parents have little property to tax.
Then the people want more hard
roads. They voted to bond for
$500 0O.
