Last year he captained the five, was quarterback on the foot ball team and starred as centrefielder on the base ball team. Lafayette is on a winning spree of . three straight games and Reeves has J starred in every one of them. Against Temple he registered XI out of 15 against Lehigh, 10 out of 14, attempts, and against St. John's of York, 6 out of 7.

There was some doubt who should receive "first prize hs Charlie Chaplin, tjie honors seemed divided between Hunkev Donley and Allie Taylor. Samuel Elwell, Lewis Hoffman, Walter Savage and Belford Ewing tried to see who could eat the most sandwiches.

C., composed mostly of Drexel Institute^students last Satururday evening on the Convention Hall court by the one-sided score of 42-15. team was managed by Leslie of this city. ! The Cape May five played the same caliber of basket ball that enabled them to win on the previous Saturnamely, snappy passing and accurate shooting. Cape May broke the ice on a foul goal shortly after the toss up and were never headed the first half ended 19-4 with the locals on the long end. The second half was a runaway Cape May.

WILDWOOD 35, CAPE MAY 31 Cape May lost ar fast ami close game to the Wildwood five last Wednesday evening in the Convention Hall before the largest crowd of the season, the final score being 35-31. Cape May can lay the defeat to their inability to register foul goals, and with half the luck Wildwood had field goals would have easily walked away with the game which was featured by one-handed stabs. The game was close throughout with a little roughness here and there. Wildwood led at half time 18 to 11, but Cape May soon tied it at

Phillips has acted as ~ Chairman for the local activities of the European Relief Council. A house ® to house canvass of the city has been made and the efforts of the ladies 4 who have willingly given their time ^ to this work has been generally rewarded. A similar campaign has been con- : ducted in West Cape May under the ° direction of Mrs. Theodore A. Reeves. The contributions have far exceeded expectations and now total over five hundred dollars and seventy e cents. 1 In view of the fact that our Sunn day Schools have previously given e nearly a thousand dollars to foreign relief, we feel that Cape May has 0 contributed liberally to the greatest ls consolidated relief organization the j world has ever known. h HE SHOULD WORRY it He was a man that said that ,1 , he hadn't time to worry. In the day8 time he was too busy, and at night he it was too sleepy.
