SEASON ENDS

Five Games Against

SOME TAPS" FROM
TIE COLLEGE GRIDIRON

The Delaware College football sea-
son closed on Saturday with a defeat
at the hands OF the Dickinson College
eleven.
Delaware won two games, tied two,
and lost five this past season.
The appearance Of the cadets last
Saturday was something unexcelled
since the Newark boys have played In
intercollegiate athletics. Every man
was in his uniform and massed on
the north side of the field In a cheer
ing section.
Captain Taylor's spectacular run
through the whole Red and White
team on the kick off in the second
half was wonderful and only his close
proximity 70 the side lines prevented
his scoring a touchdown.
Goldstein, of the visitors, is surely
a wonder His running with the pail
and handling OF punts was unusually
snappy and Delaware played him well
considering the way he is said TO have
toyed With the University OF Pennsyl-
vania ends.
Dunn opened Delaware's line for
GOOD gains, but his end running
amounted to very little.
The much-lauded forward pass OF
the Pennsylvanians was torn 10
pieces on Saturday by Bill McAvoy's
system Of defense.
Huston, the little Delaware quar-
terback. was easily Delawares star.
He never missed a tackle and never
fumbled a punt even when three or
four Dickinsonians were surrounding
him
Todd played plucky game con-
sidering his right eye is still effected.
Captain Taylor. Attix. Todd, En-
mis- and Millington have played their
last game with the Blue and Gold,
1912 being their graduating year
Attix has played three years on
tho Varsity. He has never missed a
game and never been laid out.
Ennis played a good game at left
end considering he was new at the
job
Dean and Handy ploughed through
Dickinson's line quite often for three
Yards or less. but there the Red and
White warriors held like a stone wall.
The defense put up by Delaware in
the first quarter on her own eighteen
inch line was wonderful. Dickinson
never gained an inch In three downs
The third quarter was character
ized. but the ball being in Dickinsons
territory the whole twelve minutes.
Had the Delaware line held as II
should, Hamel's try for a goal from
placement would have been an easy
three points but It was blocked on
the 15-yard line

Dickinson outweighed Delaware II
pounds TO the man.
The military snake dance and pa

band played was a feature Of Satur-
days contest
Delawares opporents scored 81
points this season and the cadets
made a total Of 54.
Dean was a power OF defense al
guard and proved a good substitute
for Millington.
Delaware never used a substitute
throughout the entire game and Dick
inson used but one.
