Campbell Leading Eastern Scores

CAMPBELL LEADING EASTERN SCORES Camden Forward Gathers 112 Points in 18 Games—Barlow High “Soup” Campbell, of the Camden “Skeeters,” continues to hold the lead in the Eastern League basketball race for individual point honors. In 18 contests the Camden forward has netted the ball 31 times from the floor, and has dropped in a half hundred tosses from the fifteen-foot mark, for a total of 112 points. “Liz” Powell, a forward on the Germantown five, is in second place, ten points behind Campbell. “Liz” moved up from fourth place during last week. Eddie Dolin, centre of the “Skeeters,” is holding down third place with 97 points. Powell and Campbell are the only two players of the 52 in the league who have passed the century mark. Dolin and Campbell are in a deadlock in field goal tossing, each having sent the ball through the basket 31 times. The eighth week of the first half race saw Camden practically sew up first place. Although given a setback by Germantown, the New Jersey five had an easy time with Reading. The “Skeeters” need but split even in order to win the first half title. Camden continues to lead the other quintets in team scoring, but only by the slight margin of six points, being that number ahead of Germantown. De Neri is third and Reading last. The New Jersey aggregation has scored 128 field goals and 158 foul goals for 434 points, Germantown has registered ten less field goals than the “Skeeters,” but it has tallied 172 points from the fifteen-foot mark. De Neri is in second place in foul goal shooting being one behind the Germantown five. INDIVIDUAL SCORING G. Fd.G. Fl.G. A. Pts.
