DELAWARE OUTCLASSES
LEBANON VALLEY

Delaware came from the third
football contest on Saturday with
the record of having not been
scored against this season.
In the last contest with Lebanon
Valley on the college athletic field
it was evident throughout the
game that she outclassed the op-
posing team. The first quarter
marked the most interesting part
OF the game. The visitors showed
UP fairly we'll and at one time were
close to Delaware's goal.
During the first quarter Handy,
who was playing fullback, was put
out of the game for slugging, and
although his ankle is still weak,
Captain Taylor went in and play
ed grand game. The first half
ended with the score Of S to o.
In the last two periods Dela-
ware ran away with their oppon-
rlts and scored three more toucll-
downs and safety. Lineup:

honor of growing the largest corn

Newark Base Ball Team

The effort to arrange a series
.oi base ball games with the Elk
ton and Elk Mills clubs has result
ed in a failure. The attempt had
to be given up owing to the late
ness of the season.
Newark made an attempt to join
the Tri-County League at the time
OF its organization, early in the
spring, but abandoned the idea on
account OF the Leagues desire to
bar Vic Willis the former National
League twirler from the team.
The Newark base ball club made
a splendid record during the past
Season. Out of nearly twenty
games played but two were lost.
The first of these was played on
Decoration Day, when the town
team met the College boys who
had been in training for several
months. The last game was
against the Halethorpe Country
Club team, of Baltimore, and the
game was played in Baltimore
Several records were made during
the season. In a game against 3
Philadelphia club, Southpaw Ho'
gan struck out 10 men, which /:
probably not only a record TO-
Newark, but the State OF Della
ware. Geoghegan, another one o
the twirlers, pitched game, al
lowing his opponents but one nit
and but 28 men faced him during
the nine innings. "Vic" Willr
pitched most OF the games an

Carnival Proceed, Beyond Expectations

The Aetna Hose Company held
a meeting last Friday evening
and completed the business incl
dent to the carnival. After pay
ing all expenses there appears on
the books a startling credit OF
SI8o2 .oS. 1t goes without saying
that there is spirit of good feel
ing over the success of the ven-
ture. A net profit of this amount
is sufficient answer to all critics.
At the beginning there was a
feeling of lukewarmness in some
circles. The enthusiasm and de-
termination of the boys aroused
an interest and the response on
the part Of the citizens was indeed
gratifying. The success OF the
carnival would be considered wor-
thy OF experienced hands. TAX
ing in consideration that this was
a new venture Of no small proper
tions, it is all the more gratifying.
The fremen are appreciative Of
the support given them and it is
believed that the citizens are even
more kindly disposed toward this
most useful organization.
The success OF the venture is
due to the enthusiasm and untir-
ing efforts of-oh, there's glory

EXTRACTS FROM ORIGINAL
POEM, BY JOHN RUSSELL
HAYES, SWARTHMORE.

Can bills and bonds, can iron and
wool and wheat
Render our nations nobleness
complete?
High though their function, yet
they have their day,
And yield unto the Spirits silent
sway.
'Tis only education can make
great
The destiny and lory of the State !;
Beyond the niar1 she sits in peace
serene,
Benignant and a ,gust, a death
less queen.
In this her ancient home, at this
high hour,
We come to celebrate her genial
power.
What love New London's loyal
sons must hold
For Alma Mater never may be
told,
Nor yet the reverence and thanks
giving twined
Like fadeless flowers about ths
heart and mind.
Twas here they learned as by
second birth
Patience and courage for the trial:
Of earth;
Twas here that to their youthful
souls were given
| Foreknowledge OF the paths tha
| point to Heaven.
