The Wilmington morning star., 1946-01-11
By J. E. H.
Star-NeWs Editor


I have been wondering of late if
it is possible to see something half
century or more after it happen
ed without having seen it at all in
the first place.
Sounds nonsensical, doesn't it?
Maybe it is, but it has happened,
so help me, within the week, and
left me dizzier than Dean ever was.
It all came about when the sports
editor asked me for a story about
the first big sports event in my rec
objection and the Sullivan-Corbett
heavyweight championship fight in
New Orleans on September 7, 1892,
popped up like a Jack-in-the-box,
as plainly as if it were an event
of this day-and ! wasn't there at
all but in little southern California
town helping to build a half-mile
bicycle track with ball diamond
and miniature grandstand at one
end. Bicycle racing was in its
prime. Every town had its racing
club, and wasn't worth a hang
without track.

DELCO, Jan. 10-(Specia1 to the
|Star)-Acme-Delco High school
was resting on its laure1s today
following a clean sweep its two
cage teams made against Leland
High school this week.
The girls 'sextette tril1rnphed IS
to 81 while the boys nosed out
the Leland males, 10 to 16. = :
Barbara Williams was high scor-
er for the girls team as she paced
the Delcos with IA points. Betty
Lou Hilbourn and Kathy Marks
continued to spark the teams de-
tense from their guard positions.
Leland's goods were headed by
the sharpshooting of Peggy Lewis
who totaled 10 points. Z.
The win marked the seventh con-
secutive win of the season for the
Delco girls without defeat.
The boys game was marked by
the play of Hubert Bordeaux, Billy
Clayter and Jack Allen, Delco play
ers while Louie Potter's floor play
kept the Leland quint within touch
ing distance of the Delco lead all
during the evening.

but the Cavaliers in their first four
starts routed Randolph-Macon 81
to 81 and Marshall Sc to 80 and lost
to Marine Institute As to 38 and
Duke 48 to 80.
The latter game taken with the
Carolina-Duke game last night will
give some idea OF. the relative
strength of Fridays rivals. Prior
to Duke, Carolina had won nine
out of 10 games.
The White Phantoms' string of
victories included two spectacular
upsets of unbeaten St. Joseph and
New York U. in Madison Square
Garden, which won them high
national rank, and their initial loss
was to Greensboro ORD: "a to s..
The ''big four" in the Carolina
attack for the first 10 games were
the same quartet who wound up
the 1915 season as regulars and who
started the game when the Tar
Heels beat Duke in the, Confer
ence finals 40 to So.
John Dillon, the ambidextrous
hook-shot artist, was leading the
scorers with 1872 points, or an aver
age of 16 points a night, to rank
No. IA among the nations scorers.
Jim Jordan, WHO made ALL

American at forward last year,
came next with 1874, followed by
Don Paxton, center and I'd ALL
Southern, with 81, and Don Ander-
son, speedy guard, with So.
The other starting guard will be
either Taylor Thorne, 1912 fresh
