THE FIELD CLUB AND DELAWARE Col
LEGE.-The foot ball game between
the Delaware Field Club and Delaware
College eleVens played at Delaware
City Saturday resulted in neither, sid'
scoring. Two thirty-minute halve
were played. Nearly 1000 spectators
were present aud cheered their favor
ito team whenever it made gOoC
play. A few Wilmington young
women were among those in the Crane
stand. The Newark young wOmer
{ turned out in full force and cheereC
: the College boys. Both teams played
as if their leves depended on the re
J suit The college eleven showed NJ
much stronger than was expected anC
they kept the ball in the territory o
: the Field Club most of the time. Th'
5 rush line of the Field Club was mucl
3 the heavier, but the college men wen
r through it, and often dOwned the back
= before they had started to rush tn
e. ball. The game was the hardes
fought one ever seen i'll this State.
j The Milford Chronicle has this to sa
5 of Delaware College: There is a sin
+. gular enthusiasm among those VIII
e have graduated from Delaware Co
e lege, for this old institution, and a
earnest desire for its advancement
: This feeling is in common with the oil
| and gray haired and the most recen
: graduate. In truth, the very men VIII
! are in the Halls of Delaware COlleg
. tO-day-if we are to Judge from tn
l. past-are those who in the near futuT
will be the men who are to make
guide and direct the destinies of Deli
n ware-and they will be very differer
J. from all other college men, if they al
:. not clannish enough to stand by an
V support each other. Delaware Co
n lege deserves well the kind offices
n Delawareans, and we are glad to sa
e that she is doing splendid work as a
< educational institution and in the e
e. perimental station for the benefit
our farmers-among whom an amino
of ity existed against the College a fe
" years ago, but which has been RbOl
j. wiped away-thanks to the more Ii
