Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Oct 14.-Secret
practice was the order of events at
Delaware College yesterday for the
first time this season and behind the
closed gates the coaches drove the
varsity through the hardest kind Of a
scrimmage. When the players came
on the field, the scrub lined up against
he varsity in order to allow the lat
ter to try out some new players and
fifteen minutes was devoted to scrim-
mage. Then the men were divided as
usual. Srager taking the linemen
and ends, and McAvoy the back field
for individual instruction. The days
work ended in thirty minutes hard
scrimmage In which the varsity scor-
ed twice and the scrub not, at all.
A feature of the days work was
Millington at guard. The big 200
FOUNDER played the game Of his life
last year, and his appearance again
this season after removing certain
restrictions placed upon him by the
faculty has been greeted by the stu
dents with much enthusiasm. He
possesses plenty of speed for a guard
and. although his weight Is excep-
tionally large. he is an excellent man
for breaking through the opponents
line. the department in which Han
dy's work has been so highly salts
factory II Is rather late In the sea-
son, however, for man to just begin
to get into condition.
Bill McAvoy is determined TO de-
velop a line which can get down the
field as fast as the ends and tackle
the opposing backs as they catch the
kicks. For long time to-day he had
his line running down under kicks
and tackling. He is looking for speed
in the line at present.
In the scrimmage Ayerst was again
at quarterback, with Taylor, Cars
well and Dean In the back field. Ennis
soon succeeded Dean and both of the
varsity's gains we're made on his
plunges through the line. The work
Of the varsity was very good, but for
the first time this season, the scrub
used trick plays almost exclusively.
After securing the ball on the vars
ity's 25-yard line near the end of the
scrimmage, they carried the ball 20
yards for a near score. but were un-
able to gain further ground
Charles Stayton had his head cut
in last nights scrimmage so that DR..
Kollock found IL necessary to take
two stitches over his left eve. The
injury is not thought to be serious,
but he is liable to be kept out of the
game for few days. Handy. the
crack guard, had his face cut In a
head-on collision with Stayton and
was consequently relieved by Behan
Norris Wright had his kickers out
for a half hour before the rest of the
squad. Taylor is the best punter and
Spruance the best drop kicker. Tay-
lor averaged fifty yards in practice,
but Carswell could boot" the ball but
i thirty.
Carswell Is pretty we'll used up and
the Coach is using Dean at fullback
as much as possible to give the little
| fullback a much needed rest Up until
Monday. Carswell had been condi-
toned by the faculty and, although he
had played in the practice games his
physical condition restricted by his
old arm Of last year has given him
much trouble. II has all been too
much for him and consequently the
little cadet is suffering in his playing
abilities.
Manager Marshall has filled the
vacant date of next Saturday with Mt.
