the farmers are get the most out ^ of cooperative buying, it is high time that prices and values were consider- . s ed and orders placed.

holiday program has the unanimous support of the studetit body. BASKET BALL ^ The Wildwood Athletic Club has ^ started in something like old time •> shape after having dropped a few M games because of lack of practice and ^ want of team play. Captain Delaney « is putting up a good game in the for- ^ ward position closely followed by « Schott, who played on Wildwood T High's team two years ago. Mike 1 Shean and Otto Huff hold down the ^ guard positions. Centre has been in ^ doubt all season, Croker who played « on the school team two years ago, ^ ] Keating a former centre and two or * three others were tried and failed, but 1 last week Livezey the tall centre of t the high school stepped in the cage ; and filled the tap-off better than it | has been filled here this season. Man- - ager Pierpont is running a Saturday \ • evening schedule well_ on into the C 1 spring. ^ 1 AFTER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP ; " j The various athletic teams of the ■ r High School are enjoying a winter of , ' great activity and considerable sue- ^ • cess. The basket ball team, under i f Coach Gulick- has developed into a { 1 winner and bids fair to rank as State ; . Champions for schools having an en- , I rollment of less than 100 boys. Liv- , s . ezev, 6' 3" is the star at centre. Nid- ' d I orf and Brown hold down the forward ' n positions, and Cross and Nickerson ■ I are the guards. Garrison a 15 year : - old Freshman is the leading first line • e substitute. Of this aggregation Nid- , k orf, who also played quarterback last , fall, will enter Dartmouth next fall, ' and Cross, red headed, 185 pounds, I all fight and the best tackle in South 1 Jersey, will enter Bucknell. II WANT CO. LEAGUE PENNANT ,y I The girls have also developed great t interest in basket ball and are tied

with Cape May akd Cape May Oaart House for «e leaferefalp of the Coun-ty-League. A penant will be awarded to the winning team, and mch school is working hard, baring won Jts game at home and lost its game i away. The refereeing in these games ; ^ould be bandied more satisfactorily - if it were possible to get officials for > the girls games from Philadelphia. As it now goes, each Coach referees one half of the game in which his .team appears. Although their work - has been good, yet the fact that they e are coaches intensifies the natural s rivalry between the schools.
