The game i'm Chester is not con-
sidered as an important game on Del

easy victory from Colonel Hyatt's in

contest was merely TO give the Del

out the new formations and tricks

Avoy. For three successive weeks
Delaware has had the misfortune to
not have a game, partly because of the

strife hung heavily over the land, he

to his now bereft companion, who, in
order to reach the bedside of her hus-

listed as an army nurse and was sent
to the front where she helped nurse
her husband through a critical illness

prolonging the days of her now de-

the service she rendered

When smiles a weary soul to rest,
