WASHINGTON
WORRIES BOYS
Delaware College Team in
Doubt as to Result of Satur-
days Game

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Nov. 4-There is an
air of doubt at Delaware College about
the result Of the game with the fast team
from Washington College. which will be
played at Chestertown, Md, on Saturday
afternoon. While the work of the Blue
and Gold team in the Swarthmore game
last week was disheartening to the sup
porters Of the Cadet team, many weak
points were eviden which must still be
strengthened The failure of the team
to get together Of the defense was prob
ably largely due to the many shifts
which were necessitated during the past
week by the weakness Of many of the
regulars, while it must also be consid-
cred the Washington has an exceptionally
strong team-one that has given all sorts
Of trouble to many OF their opponents.
Quarterback has been weak all year
and Saturday was as bad as ever. Bice
is heady little leader, but lacks expert
ence. lie was unable TO do much against
the heavy Garnet. while in getting punts
he was slow. Stewart has quit for the re-
mainder Of the season. In yesterday
practice Bill" MacAvoy experimental
with Haley at quarterback and shifted
Cam TO fulback The little lad from
Kirkwood has played well and looks like
good bacxneld material. Kidd was shifted
to right end on the Varsity. Larrimore
has dropped out Of the squad in order Ia
catch up In his college work. while Croft
former Wilmington High School man
has taken his place and seems TO be al
Ia
The scrub lined up against the Varsity
yesterday afternoon for one thirty-minute
half. Each side scored two touchdowns
and twice a scrub man broke through
the regular team and had a clear field but
/ was caught from behind. Haley has the
mechanical ability for the quarterback
position but doesn't put tho snap into
the game OF "Biggio." The latter put
up an excellent game for the second team
and gained half the ground for them.

FOOTBALL TEAMS
In DOUBLE HEADER
Orange to Play Camden, And
Wilmington High to Meet
West Chester

There win be a football double
header at the Union street grounds
next Saturday afternoon, when the
Orange team will play the Camden
Athletic Club, and the Wilmington
High School team will line up against
the West Chester High. Both games
will be for one admission. Every
Orange player is now in uniform, and
next Saturday tho players will have
the hardest game Of the season, as the
Camden team will have the most form
idablc eleven that has played here so
far this season. For the Orange game
they have secured the services Of some
of the Riverton Palmyra eleven namely
Thompson, Flagg, Vansciver and Jones.
Thompson has played against the old
Warren team a number OF years ago,
and is well-known here. He also
played on the u. of p. team and was
with the Riverton- Palmyra eleven last
season. Vansciver. "a former Princeton
man, is playing half back for the Wis
TORS and his playing win be watched
with interest as he had quite a repu-
tation as an open field man five years
ago. The Camden team is composed
mostly Of former college players and
they win undoubtedly present the best
team that has played here this sea
son.
Capt Mcclure will have the squad
out for final practice tomorrow even
ing for light signal practice, and he
is positive that they viii make a good
showing against the Camden team. The
orange Camden game will be called al
315 o'clock. and the Wilmington High
School game will be called at o'clock

WILL Be SPEAKER
PROMINENT oTTUMWA WOMAN
WILL DELIVER ADDRESS AT
MILLER CHAPEL.

An unusual meeting at Miller chapel,
six miles south of the city, is planned
for Sunday afternoon at o'clock,
when Mrs. George Haw, ST., of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, will
be the chief speaker. Mrs. Haw is
one of the most active women in
Christian work in the city, especially
i'll the public Christian institutions
such at the Open Door Rescue mission
and the Young Women's Christian as
sociation. Everything is being done
by those interested in the chapel to
make Sunday afternoons meeting a
remarkable one in the chapel history.
Lawrence Kuhns, superintendent of
the chapel, and Miss Lenora McGinnis,
superintendent of the East End Pres
byterian chapel work, will also be
present at this meeting.
The Sunday school will meet at 2
o'clock, just previous to the big meet
ing.
On account of the condition of the
roads and the weather, the audience
was not as large at the chapel last
Sunday afternoon as usual. The full
program could not be carried out as
to the special singing. Lyle Mosher
and Frank Smith we're on hand, how
ever, and conducted a strong and in
teresting meeting, both as to speaking
and congregational singing. Mesdames
Mosher and Smith will endeavor to be
out in the near future to fulfill their
promise as to special singing.

Japan Supporting Zeaya.
One of the reports here is that Ze-
layas administration of Nicaragua
has been supported by either or both
Germany and Japan.
This international news has as u
focal point the possibility of foreign
government purchasing a canal con-
cession there, taking over the route
originally considered by the United
States before the acquisition Of the
Panama strip.
Germany, it is said, has for some
time wanted to intrench herself in
Central America, while Japan has Off
cially make known her desire to have
a stronghold on the Pacific coast Of
the American continent
The only difficulty which seems to
surmount the entire transaction, ac-
cording to international law. is the
provision of certain treaties between
the nations concerned.
These, it was declared, can be null
lifted by permitting the Nicaraguan
government to dig the canal with
money provided by these foreign in
terests, the amount to be returned I'M
der terms and conditions not yet de-
cided upon.
President Taft will have the I'M
equivocal support of congress In his
efforts to protect American citizens in
Nicaragua, destroy the effect of Ze-
laya's dictatorship and perfect some
plan by which reasonably perpetual
peace may be maintained among the
Central American republics. There will
be no division on these points, al
though opinions vary as to how far
the president should go without the
consent and assistance of congress.
Members of the senate and house
| foreign relations committees are I'M
animous in the belief that il the pres
| ident desires to go far in his punish
ment of Zelaya a joint resolution
| should be passed by congress authoriz-
| ing the president to take such steps
as in his judgment are necessary for
the protection of American lives and
| property and the restoration Of a
stable government in Nicaragua. They
| think the president should make 1t
known if such blanket authorization
| is required to carry out his plans. A
similar course was followed when
| President Roosevelt sent a warship
| with a special commissioner to de-
mand a settlement from Castro and
better treatment for Americans in
Venezuela. Such authority from con-
gress would give the president full
power to land marines and regular
troops and take all other steps up to a
declaration Of war, although the land
| ing Of troops in itself constitutes a
declaration of war.
There is no disposition manifested
among members of Congress to take
the Nicaraguan affair away from the
president, as was done in the case OF
Cuba, when congress declared wal
AGAINST Spain without any specific
suggestion from President McKinle,
Ito that effect There is scarcely q. DOS
