Lincoln Lad Successfully Defended
Crown Last Sunday

Thirteen-year-old David Green
ly, Lincoln School student, spon-
sored by Blue Hen Post No. 6483.
V.F.W., Milford, became DeIaware's
first two-time marbles champion,
Sunday afternoon, by defeating
Joseph Bedford, of Dover, three
games to one, in the finals of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars state
wide championship marble play,
1T Newport.
Bedford, 12-year-old student at
Booker T. Washington School, Do
yer, waded through the challenge
round with comparative ease, los
ing but one game and that to Rus
sell Argo, Milford lad who won
state hOnors in 1855; Bedford de-
feated Argc. two games to P7e, in
the finals of the challenge round.
In the titular test, Greenly, who
dethroned Argo a year ago and, as
defending champion, was exempt
from local and challenge round
competition this year, dropped his
first game to Bedford but bounced
back to win three games and retain
his laurels. Greenly will now go to
Seattle, Wash, in mid-June to rep
resent Delaware in national COM

the Alumni will raise another $780,
600, to bring their share to $780,
