NEWARK, Dec. 10.-The game Of foot
ball, though rather new departure for
the students OF Delaware College, is be-
coming . very popular sport in the in
stitnticu. On Friday the second eleven
OF the college visited Eikton to play with
the second Climb at that place. Though
four of the Elkton's frat eleven were on
hand to play with the home team they
refused to allow the college students the
privilege of substituting four OF their
first eleven players. Rather than not
play the college students threw ont three
Of their best men and proceeded with the
play. The game was very pluckily
played from the start, and both sides
did good work, but neither side scored q
single point, and at late hour the game
ended in draw.
4 On Saturday still more exciting game
was played, but with the same unsatis.
4 factory conclusion. The game was played
/ at Homewood Park, between the first
/ elevens Of Conference Academy,of Dover,
and Delaware College The visiting team
had the advantage Of the services of three
or four masters OF the academy, who are
4 experienced men In the game, having
| played in former years on tine Dickinson
College team. The game was remark
! ably exciting and closely contested one
all the wey through, and drew together a
larger crowd than has yet attended any
o. the college games here. It ended in q
draw, however, neither side scoring.
