The concluding football game of the
season came on at Delaware City on SWtur-
daY afternoon when tile team from the
Delaware Field Club Of this city played
the Delaware College of Newark in tile
presence of throng Of 500 people, includ.
ing admirers Of the sport from this city,
Newark and other points, The day Was
beautiful one for football and the ground
was IN fine condition for play. No serious
accidents occurred To mar the pleasure OF
the game with the exception of slight in
jurics 10 hdmOnlson and Kirk Martin of
the College team.
The game was full of interesting and ex-
citing incidents, but strange 10 say there
were few brilliant plays. The beautiful
run IF White of over forty yards for the
College team the great taCkling Of Simms;
the playing of Pratt and Morgan aud tack
ling of Constable for the Field Club were
the principal features 1t has been long
time since game bearing similar charaC.
tcristics has been witnessed III local foot
ban annals, and ii is made the more re-
iunrkAblc when il IS known that neither
side could score. While the Field Club
put up comparative good game in
view Of the fact that their men,
many Of them had never played together
before, and were not altogether familiar
with the code ot signals introduced by the
club. The rush line showed considerable
weakness at times and failed to support
the men behind the line rs they should
have done. For instance. ON several occa,
sonS when the ball was passed back TO
Jnhsun for one Of the long punts such as
only he is capable al, the Delaware College
would break through and tackle him, thus
preventing Il Kick. Conspicuous among
the men who seemed to have a faculty Of
getting through We're Wilkinson, Sinms
ana ilaHler. Vernon, who played opposite
NllEiusun, did mo- put up the game he
used TO when his llaying was one of the
features Of SNarthmure's team.

for the Field Club, and his team would
have Jared better had he given the bail To

signals were not understood ut times, and
the little player seemed to lack headwOrk.

times aud although he made some good

When asked his opinion Of the relative
strength of the different teams Captain
