cents for corn, which is the market

the rise the Delaware farmers naturally
feel very much encouraged, but how
much higher the market will so is a
matter of mere conjecture. Published re-

half. Kyle, Powell, Wharton, Ferguson,
Jackson, Roberts, Lawton, Bevans and
several others were out of the game suf-
fering with injuries or bad colds at vari-
ouS times during the season. Some idea
Of the teams crippled condition at times,
can be gathered from the fact that but
funr or five of the regular team were
able to play in the Johns Hopkins game.
fhc eleven was also in badly crippled
condition when it met st. Johns.
Delaware, without doubt, made its
hest showing the first part of the sea-
son, when the entire team was together.
lis greatest victory and one that it
feels proud Of, was the defeating of the
strong Haverford team by the score of
6 to 0. This was probably the best game
of the season and Delaware won on its
merits The Swarthmore game was an
other instance whore Delaware clearly
demonstrated that she had good team.
Although Swarthmore won by the score
of 10 to 0, it was no discredit to the
Delaware boys, and many people who
Witnessed the game claimed that II
should have been tie. In the first
half of this game Delaware played far
til" best game and ran the Swarthmorc
| tenn over the field at will. Another
Inotable victory for Delaware was the
defeating Of the strong Rutgers team al
| Nrw Brunswick, n. ].
Much of the credit of Delaware's good
+hrwing belongs to Captain Huxly, while

plimentcd on their good playing and the

OLD DELAWARE'S
BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Indications are That Strong Team Will Rep
resent the College Next Year.


Although the Delaware College foot
ball season closed on Thursday when the
team defeated the strong eleven from the
Lebanon Valley College, there still re-
mains one important matter to be at
tended to. This is the selection Of a
captain for next years team. The man
who will captain the team next year will
be selected in few days.
As the majority of this seasons team
return to college next year, there is
plenty of good material from which to
select this important position. Several
of the players, among them being Pow
ell, Wharton and Ferguson have already
been mentioned for the position.
Those of this years players who will
be candidates for next seasons team are
as follows: Kyle, Powell, Wharton, Fer
guson, jackson, Roberts, Lawton, Be.
vans, Wilson, Frazer, Marshall Schnb-
niger, Heisler, Leach, Ralph and Burn
stein. With a. these old players to pick
from the indications for II good team
next year are very promising
Those who do not return to college
next year are Captain HuXly, Tunnel
Mcdaniel, Cooper, Harrington and
Evans. All of these players, however
played an excellent game all season and
their places will be hard to fill next
year.
Delaware has much to feel proud OF
as this years team was the hest that
has ever represented that college. The
attendance was also much larger thar
in former years which was the result oi
the management good Judgment in play
ing NIL its home games in this city. Thi'
also had the effect of aronsing some o.
the old time interest among lovers of thu
sport in Wilmington.
The team had more than its share o
hard luck and to this can be attributed
several defeats. Every member Of th'
team Mt one time or another was on
of the game on account Of injuries. Cap
tain Huxly had his collar bone broker
and was out for three weeks. Evans
