and defeated the Pennsylvania Military
College eleven by a score OF % TO 0.
There was much speculation ats to
the result OF this game. Last year
with almost the same team, the Della
ware eleven was defeated by the score
OF II TO 3. This year the Delawareans
started of with a poor game with the
High School team I'm this city. Their
work was so Indifferent that during
the past two weeks all the players were
required TO do hard practicing. AS a
result last Saturday the same team
beat the Tome Institute eleven of Port
Deposit, by an overwhelming score OF
&C to 0.
The p. NJ. C. kicked off TO Hartman,
who carried the ball back fifteen yards
Wolf was sent around left end for tif-
teen more. Mitchell went around right
on the next play for twenty-five yards.
The Delawareans continued TO carry
the ball up the field by end plays and
short line plunges until within a yard
of the Military Collage goal. Here the
=. NJ. G. held for downs, but Trotter Sc
cured the ball ON the first line up
through a tumble, and made the first
touchdown. Wolf kicked the goal.
On the next l1ick-off Hartman return
ed the sphere for twenty-five yards by
good running. Repeated gains
were made for Delaware, Wolf,
Mitchell. Hartman and p. Cam. MAX
ing the advances. When ten yards from
the goal line Wolf Was rushed through
the line for the second touchdown.
The kick-Out was a failure.
At the beginning Of the second haii
p. NJ G. seemed to brace up and made
several short gains. She got within
twenty yards of Delaware's goal where
the latter held and threw the Pennsyl-
vanians for losses. By long rushes
Delaware carried the ball down the
field and Mitchell went around right
end for twenty yards and touch
down. Wolf again kicked the goal
There were a series OF rushes again and
finally Wolf went over for the fourth
touchdown, from which he kicked 8
pretty goal
