The Chester feud will be revived
tomorrow afternoon when the Will
mington High School basketball
team meets their old time rivals,
Chester High, in their first OF the
two-game series. II Is expected
that the local school gym will be
packed for the Orange and Black
intend bringing some two hundred
rooters along with them. The local
students will also turn out strong.
Chester High, like Wilmington,
has but one veteran back from last
year and he Is Kip Crooks. football
captain. Crooks will hold down
guard post along with Acting Cap
tain Hanley. The other members
OF the squad are former scrub men.
Saltzman and Vance are looked
upon as the big scorers on the team.
Coach Larkin has been giving
much time to the development Of
the team and believes he has work.
ed out a fast combination. Ches-
ter's season was late getting under
way and but three games have been
played. The first game OF the sea-
son was against the University OF
Pennsylvania Freshmen. which re-
suited IN a walkaway for the col
lege men, as would naturally be ex-
pected. Last Friday night the Chee-
ter High boys travelled to Lancaster
and were defeated by the score OF
3s TO 12. In their last game, which
was against Darby, the Orange and
Black lost by one point, IS 10 II.
Wilmington has an edge over their
rivals in that they copped the first
OF their three games played.
Vance has proved TO be a very
valuable man at center for Chester
and IS found all over the floor.
Crooks IS another hard worker in
the cage and II will be necessary
for the cherry and White men 10
keep an eye on him. Vance is their
star from the floor and also takes
care of the foul department and so
far has been pulling through in fine
form.

ton squad through a hard afternoon
OF practice yesterday. The coach !
has outlined a plan OF attack that /
will be used in order that both /

with Green at center. Ashton is.

away from his man in a scrimmage
against the scrubs for three field
goals.
At the guarding positions Stirlith
md Lecarpenter will perform. Stir
ith, II poss BILE, will try his best TO
Freak loose for several pointers.
Johnny Lecarpenter is also prepared

lis school against their bitterest
ivals.
