Although M. & NJ. won by a VIDE
margin-55 to 2S. the game never
theless was a good one, and Penns-
vile made some fine plays Had
Pennsville been pitted against most
any other class B team in this sec
tion of the state they would have
been strong contenders for first hon
ors. In the opening Of the game M.

just right, and their opponents
scored a couple of fields before the
Big Reds had Gagged single count
er. M. & NJ. called time out, and
went at it again, hitting their usual
stride that has carried them to II
successive victories, and won IA
out of 16 games PLAYED this season.
Along about the middle of the game
the Reds collected six points in
less than a minute. Bingham was
the biggest feature of the tilt. He
was on a regular scoring spree, his
points totalling in this game one
more than the total of Pennsville's.
Northrup's playing as running
guard deserves extra mention, as
does also Davis, and his substitute
Sharp, as stationary guards, who
held their opponent Dougan score
less In the Pennsville-C -Chesterhill
game Dougan was high scorer. G.
