the Two top teams and tonight's
engagement will end a bitter
struggle and argument for the de-
cision of who is the best team
among the big two.
Temple succumbed to the hands
of the Seagate Baptist in the ear
lier part of the season, when the
newly entered quint possessed one
of the strongest fives in the
league, but the Seagate lads fell to
the hands of Winter Park Metho-
dist in a game which they did not
consider a league game, and this
threw them from the big race.
The strong Emmanuel hardwood
ers were handed their defeat by
the Temple quintet, but the re-
juvenated five will be out to hand
the Templist the thrashing of their
lives.
Temple boasts a team of former
high school stars and high school
players. Leading the quint through
out the season has been Leonard
Legs" McKoy, former high school
star and highest school boy scorer
in the state, who will handle the
pivot position for the Baptist.

Linwood Grissom, member of the
All-Church league stars in as, and
Bill Bowen, former member of the
New Hanover High School varsity.
Harry Coleman, lanky 81" for
ward and squad player for the
First Presbyterian .quint in &c
when it was second place in the
league, will team with Brian Mui-
link, a member of the New Han

beginning of the year.
The Emmanuel five boost a strong
team composed of "Basketball'

star for an army team in South

CERDAN HEAVILY
FAVORED TO WIN

NEW YORK, March q - R -
From all you hear around Jacobs
Beach, it would appear that Mar
eel Cerdan, the European middle
weight champion will be the only
fighter in Madison Square Gar
denis ring tomorrow night. How
ever, Harold Green says he def
initely will show up, as long as
the subway is running from
Brooklyn.
What's more, the rugged fire
hydrant swater out of the tough
Brownsville section is remark
ably unimpressed by all the build
up which seems to be pointed at
making the Marcel wave" from
French Africa a combination atom
bomb and B-36 bomber. Hustlins
Harold insists it makes no diff
ference that practically everyone
except his immediate family is
saying it's too bad for him in this
te%n-rounder.
If he should win, as he expects,
it would cause no end of con-
fusion among A) the bookmakers
and OBJ the steering committee
of promoter Mike Jacobs 20tf
Century Sporting club, to say
nothing of the paying customers
who are expected to bulge the
Garden at the seams. Cerdar
caught the fancy of Gus Fan ir

looking for an "SRO" crowd o

flew from Havana with his bride,
Laraine Day, to testify on Mon

DELINQUENCY
GREAT IN KENT
Rise In Delinquency To Be-
come Concern of Della
ware Parents
CAMPAIGN IN PROGRESS

Juvenile delinquency in our first
year of peace is still up "a per cent
over the last pre-war year." de-
clares Judges Ernest v. Keith, of
the Juvenile Court of Kent County.
Year end figures released by the
Juvenile Court show that 172 chill
dren under 16 appeared before
the court on delinquency charges
during 1946 in Kent County. The
total for 1941, last pre-war year,
was 127. Judge Keith continues:
Juvenile delinquency is a problem
with which all parents must and
should be concerned. 1t is a defin-
lite fact that between rs and 80 per
cent of juvenile delinquency is di-
rectly attributable to parents and
conditions which parents create
within the family itself. 1t there
fore behooves parents to plan intel
ligently their family life in the
light of giving due and proper con-
sideration to the economic, moral
and spiritual needs of the family"
The Delaware League of Planned
Parenthood feels that juvenile de-
linquency is the price paid for mall
adjusted children, for unwanted
children. In pointing out that
wanted children have a much bet
ter chance to become healthy, sue
cessful citizens, the Dover clinic of
the league asks support in the first
nationwide Planned Parenthood
campaign, which is now in pro-
gress.
