Office yesterday and Receiver Of Taxes

was n record breaker though there was

BUCKED AGAINST SCRUBS.
Delaware College Team Has a
Hard Practice Game.
Although Still Suffering With q Sore
Hand Captain Huxley Will
Play Saturday.

The Delaware College football team
played hard practice game against the
scrub team yesterday afternoon. One
3S-minute half was played in which
neither side scored. The Varsity had the
ball in the scrubs territory most of the
time but on account of penalties given
lost the ball. Huxley was out in foot
ball togs and took light practice. His
hand is still very sore but he hopes to be
in the game Saturday. All the rest of
the team is in fine condition. The work
of Evans at fullback is especially prom
Using. He runs hard and hits the line
with great force. lie is also one Of the
best men on defensive work.
Harrington, who has been playing
quarterback is getting along very well
considering the short time he has been
playing that position. He uses very good
judgment in running the team and is
also good man on running back kicks.
His greatest drawback is that lie is
rather light.
In yesterdays game with the scrubs
the interference was much better and
the men helped each other more than
heretofore. 1t is very likely that
should Huxley get in the game Saturday
he will do the kicking as Lawton is Il
trifle uncertain.
The lineup Of yesterday was as fol-
