SPAULDING
OUTPLAYED
Was Defeated by Goddard at
Basket Ball, q to 8
In VERY EXCITING GAME
Winners Showed Themselves Superior in
All-around Ability, Besides Out
weighing the High School
Team.
IN VERY EXCITING GAME

Before a wildly excited crowd OF more
than 300 spectators, the undefeated God
dard seminary basketball team took a
hard fall out of the Spaulding high
school quintet at the Church street gym
nasium last night by winning 2S to s,
Both teams were urged on by the stu
dent bodies, and school spirit ran high
from start to finish The game was the
second of series, the seminary five win
ming the first by the narrow margin of
three points a few weeks ago. and
naturally the outcome of last nights
contest was a matter of much specula-
ton. So when the Goddard team took
the floor and played their opponents
to standstill, the effect on the crowd
was nothing if not surprising.
Spaulding, however, fought desperate
" at every turn TO overcome the lead
gained by the seminary team early in
the first period. Under the eiTcum-
stances, each team was ready to win at
any hazard Much rough playing thus
resulted and moving picture OF the
game at almost any stage would make
the first contest between the two schools
look like a peace conference. But all
in all, it was satisfying kind OF game
that kept the spectators enthused to a
sky.limit pitch.
Something started for Goddard in the
early minutes Of the first period when
the ball was passed to Fiske, who tick
led the loop for the seminary's first
basket Carroll, for Spaulding, followed
shortly after with a basket, and with
the exception of 0gston's scoring in the
second half. this was the high schools
only one. Before the period closed, Nc
Leay. Carr and McIver scored baskets
and Richardson a foul that brought the
total mp to 49, OF the baskets, McLeay
shot three Carroll hit the loop for
three fouls, and the sounding of the
whistle saw the score l3 to 5,
The best Spaulding could do in the
second half was to get one basket, al
though both teams had several chances
TO shoot fouls Carr was easily the
star for Goddard during this period and
Melted total Of seven points for his
teammates. Fiske also pulled off a shot
from a difficult angle that called for
loud applause from both sides of the
room. The high school five played al
most constantly on the defensive dur
ing this half and seldom had q chance
at the basket Goddard. in turn, lost
a number of easy opportunities to score
through faulty shooting. The period
closed few minutes after Mcl.eav had
again touched the loop that rounded out
twenty eight points for the seminary.
Outweighed and lined up against

ing five, some of whom are on the floor

"MAGGIE PEPPER"

Gay Zenola MacLaren. who
needs no introduction to Newark,
will appear in the Opera House on
December ), in her celebrated new
play. Maggie Pepper.
Miss MacLaren S ability to pre-
sent an entire play is the wonder
Of all who hear her. She has re
peatedly been pronounced "Amen-
lea s greatest mimic.' and the term
is only appreciated after listening
to one of her plays.
The following are comments
from some of the leading city
newspapers where the artist has
appeared:
"She Miss MacLaren) acts the
entire play. portraying each char
acter with such remarkable dis
tinctness as to cause her hearers to
mentally witness the play enacted
by a full cast. and forget for the
moment that they are being enter
tanned by a single artist. 1t seemed
as if she had a large company OF
players at her call and as if by
magic they entered. rendered the
lines and eXited at her command. .
"She has almost ventriloquistic
power of changing her voice to por-
tray a seemingly unlimited number
Of characters. and it is due to this
rare and remarkable gift that SHE
is able to present entire plays sue
cessfully."
"She was certainly born to her
work. and is therefore gifted with
the elements of genius.

classification of the different types
Of families. the patriarchal family
with which human civilization be-
gins, was taken up. 1t was shown
how the conditions of family life in
the early Asiatic civilization are
revealed to us by a study Of the
moral code: the conditions Of fam

by study Of the Hamaryly code !;
the same Of the Hebrews by study

THE TIME FOR WORK

Following the startling state
ments made by the visiting com
mittee representing the State
Board Of Education in regard to
Delaware s rural schools. the lee
lures Of Mrs. de Garmo. who has
50 recently toured the State, come
laden with practical suggestions
and timely advice.
The poorly ventilated. poorly
heated, and uncomfortable coun-
try schools. with the close and I'M
sanitary outbuildings. which are
so familiar to us all, are among the
things which Mrs. de Garmo is
seeking to eradicate. She claims
that such schools will exist as long
as impossible roads make the con-
solidated school impracticable.
This handicap is already largely
removed from New Castle county,
and the completion Of the DUPONT
Boulevard will give the entire
State large proportion Of I'M
proved roads.
The illustrations and descrip-
tions of what has been accom-
plished in other sections by the
consolidated school. in contrast to
the present lamentable conditions
III our State. convinces us Of a
weight of sins of omission which
can be relieved only by immediate
action.
Educational thought. since the
building of the rural sch ol
houses has undergone a change
Mental development is no longer
the sole object of the system, but
an effort enters into the plan tc
provide for the physical develop,
ment as well. Science and statis
tics have long since proven the I'M
possibility Of health in such sur.
roundlngs as the visiting com
mittee has described, and we won
der how an enlightened communi
ty can tolerate the existence OF
these conditions, rather than sit
quietly by in complaccnt indiffer,
ence.
Read the article in another col
umn which tells some Of the ways
and means devised by the
Mothers Congress in Mrs. dc
Garmo' s State. for the betterment
Of the boys and girls. Does the
story not contain suggestions for
| Delaware?

DELAWARE LOSES BY A SMALL
SCORE

On field more like miniature
lake than a football oval, Gettys-
burg defeated Delaware by the
score of 6 to o. Although the Del
aware boys were outweighed over
Is pounds to the man. they put up
a plucky fight, and standing ankle
deep in mud held their heavier op-
ponents time and again.
In the second quarter, after two
end runs. Gettysburg placed the
ball on the four yard line. Three
straight line plunges netted a
touchdown, Sawyer carrying the
ball on the final play. Dayhoff
kicked the goal.
Delaware s offense was weaken
ed considerably on account Of the
sloppy condition Of the field, Tay-
lor failing to get away for one of
his characteristic long end runs
more than two or three times dur
ing the game. Had the field been
in anything like the proper kind
of shape. the Blue and Gold would
doubtless have returned with a
scalp added to their string, but as
conditions were there was nothing
to it but the straightest kind OF
/ old-fashioned football.
For Gettysburg, Lawyer, Day

HIGH SCHOOL NEWS

The Commercial Department Of
the Newark High School has been
made much more attractive as a
result of the bake held by the pu-
pills a short time ago. Half a dozen
well selected pictures adorn the
walls and the coveted pencil shar-
pener and new Webster's Interna-
tional Dictionary are at the ser
vice Of the pupils. The stand for
the dictionary was presented
to the school by Mr.. Louis Curtis,
which gift is much appreciated. A
number of the pupils have made
excellent progress i'll their new
studies. The Benn Pitman system
Of shorthand is taught. Two l.. G..
Smith typewriters and three Royal
machines are used by the type
writing classes.
The department has made rapid
progress since the beginning of the
term. A visit to the school cannot
fail to make one appreciate the
thoroughness of the instruction
given and the opportunity af-
forded our boys and girls who
wish to prepare themselves for the
duties of business life.
The literary program given IN
the Newark High School last Fri
day proved a pleasant diversion
from the regular routine. About
twenty scholars participated in
the exercises. after which the
school was addressed by Professor
Elisha Conover, of Delaware Col
lege. who talked on "The Study OF
the Classics. T." The speaker made
clear the benefits, whatever the fu-
ture occupation may be. that may
be derived from the study OF these
subjects. The occasion proved such
IA success that the plan will be-
come part of the monthly pro-
gram of the school.
