PennSyIVanianS Beat Newark
College Team 46 TO 0


feat at the hands Of the swarthmore
College eleven on Saturday by the over
whelming score of as to 0. 1t was an ideal
day for football. and the largest crowd
that has witnessed a game on Whittier
Field this year was out TO see the Garnet
wipe up the field with the Comparatively
little blue Hens Chics." Il was the
first time that Delaware and swarthmore
had played on the gridiron since 1904.
when the Quakers trounced the cadets Al
TO 0, and the latter we're this year eager
10 wipe out The stigma OF this loss.
Out-weighed at least twenty to twenty
Ave pounds TO the man. and being filed
with stage fright. the warriors OF "Old
Delaawre put up game fight, but the
odds were too great against them. and
Swarthmore had "cinch." Long before
the game had comenced the field was en-
livcnod with the shouts Of the Swarih-
more cheer leaders and the deafening re-
sponse OF the red-topped cheering sec
tion in answer to which came the short,
snappy cheers of the DelaWareans, who
had brought up with them a band Of loyal
supporters. Vicory was 10 he denied
Delaware. however. and despite the bril-
liant individual efforts Of Carswell, the
sturdy little fullbaok, eight touchdowns
were registered by the Garnet in the two
twenty-five minute halves.
Delaware won the toss and chose to
receive the ball on the eastern. half OF
The gridlron. Miller kicked off TO Haley
on the latier's l5-yard line. He advanced
the gall ten yards. Stewart punted to
Van Trump on the 40-yard line and the
Garnet player slgnaed for a free catch.
A Delaware man tackled him however,
for which his team was penallzed Is
yards Miller went through left tackle for
three yards, and at that point the Blue
ana Gold team held like stonewall. on
the next play Swarthmore tried a fake
drop kick, but Wickham was thrown for
a loss Of 10 yards. and the ball belonged
to the cadets on their own 81 yard line.
At this point Delaware tried an onside
Kick but a Quaker dropped on the ball in
midhed. No gain was made on the next
play as some one became mixed in the
signals Umpire Porter then caught

so Swarthmore received a 15-yard PEN
atty. Miller punted to Stewart, who was
line. The Delawareans could not gain so
Haley punted out of bounds on Swarth-
mores 3O-yard line. By a constant line
plunging and one forward pass. swarth-
more gained 30 yards in the next five
downs. Then they lost 15 on a failure of
a forward pass and Cam received a punt
on his 25-yard line Then the little star
end made yards on a forward pass. The
Quakors broke up an onside kick and took
the ball TO the Blue and Gold 25-yard line.
From this point the Garnet made a march
to the goal line and in six downs Van
Trump placed the ball behind the posts.
Miller kicked an easy goal Delaware
made the best showing Of the day pre-
vious 10 this touchdown. With but few in
terruptions Swarthmore made two more
easy touchdown in the same half, at the
end Of which the score stood 16 to 0. Miller
missing the last two goals.
In the second half the Cadets showed
the effects OF their pounding of the
first half and the final score became
merely a matter that was left to the
discretion of the Garnet Time and
time again Swarthmore would make
forty or fifty yards by straight football
and would then lose the ball by for
ward pass or an onside kick. Then
all at once a Quaker would break
through and make a twenty-five or
thirty yard run for touchdown.
Throughout the contest Delaware put
up a game fight and too much credit
cannot be given the sons Of "Old Della
ware" for their sturdy spirit against
such terrible odds. Both sides re-
l.. ~ u
more lost 110 yards in this manner and
Delaware 40. The brilliant work of
Connie" Wickham was easily the fea-
ture Of the Garnet's playing. while a
double forward pass by the same team
brought forth a great deal Of comment.
Cam and Carswell were the stars for
Delaware. while Croft. a new man,
