TABERNACLE WINS
FIRST CAGE TILT
Scores 61-27 Victory Over
Epworth Quint In Church
School Loop Play

Tabernacle's well-balanced ball
club stepped in among the favored
teams of the Friday intermediate
Church School league by riding
rough-shod over the Epworth quint
for a 61-27 victory on the "Y"
court last night.
1t was Tabernacle's first appear
ance of the season, having drawn
a bye in the opening round. This
first game impressed the specta-
tors, not so much by their shoot
ing ability as by the smoothness
of their passing attack. F. Kelly
appeared to be the pivot in his
teams play, despite the fact that
H. Kelly shone in the scoring de-
partment with 80 markers.
Epworth, playing short-handed,
put up a good fight but was no
match for the tricky Tabernacle
offense. Clark led his teams scor-
ing with Is points but Lewis stood
out on the defense.
Emmanuel scored the upset Of
the evening by completely outplay-
ing a favored Southside outfit to
win by 26-19 in a fast and exciting
contest. The losers we're handi-
capped by having Johnny Oliphant
on the sidelines with a broken
arm but still held a big advantage
in height. However, the smaller
Emmanuel five presented a steady
and effective passing game that
enabled them to tally frequently
by rapid-fire password and elusive
dribbling under the basket. Team
work vas the keynote of this VIC
tory. Pridgen took scoring honors
with IS points while Smith was
high for the losers with 10.
Calvary was held to a 1916 score
in the opening half = a fighting
Grace team but the latter's de-
tense went to pieces in the closing
half to allow Calvary's scoring
combination to run up an imposing
ALP score. McKoy with q points
was Calvary's chief scoring threat
although every man in the lineup
tailed, at least two points. This
win gave Calvary the league lead
with two in a row.
The Saturday afternoon church

Wilmington housewives, meeting
at the Sorosis clubhouse last night,
approved plans for representatives
from their group to meet with the
city commissioners and urge that
a competent hydraulic engineer be
brought to the city to select a per-
manent fresh water source.
The women voted to select from
women's organizations a committee
of 25 women, with five women Sc
lected at large, and five business
men, to appear before the city board.
An enthusiastic group asked ques-
lions Of the speaker of the occasion.
Hugh MacRae, Wilmington realtor
and agriculturist.
MacRae stated that 40 years ago
the city was faced with a poor water
system polluted with sewerage and
salt, and a civil engineer was en-
ployed at that time to plan for the
water intake. He pointed out that a
civil engineer need know nothing
about water. He added that this

lake to supplement wells south of it
in case of emergencies.
MacRae said that he has recently
corresponded with Arthur Little, in
ternationally famous chemist, in
Cambridge, Mass, who referred him
to a Boston firm as the most COM
petent hydraulic engineers in eastern
United States, and also with the lead
ing well-boring agency in Virginia
which has successfully bored wells
northeast of Wilmington and at
Ethyl-Dow Chemical company.
MacRae stated that the deep well
system would cost the city about a
tenth of the price paid for pipeline
to Kings Bluff and would be COM
pleted in about one-tenth the time.
MacRae roughly estimated that
placing a pipeline to Kings Bluee
for an efficient water system would
probably take a year or perhaps two
years to complete.

BERNIE, Switzerland, Nov. l5.-
PA Swiss totalitarian group de-

The group is known as the

foreign observers considered its de-
