Three years ago the Ford car,
fully equipped, cost over $4,000
Other manufacturers said it was a
pretty good car for the money, but
you could not expect much for that
price. To-day the others are sell
ing for that price and the Ford is
$500. 1t simply proves that the
Ford leads by three years.

COLLEGE NOTES

Manager D. H. Bell, II, has arrang-
I'd what is probably the best and also
the longest schedule ever played by
a Delaware College base ball team.
The team starts on the southern trip
April 18th, plays eight games and ~
turns April 22nd; and under the able
leadership OF Captain r. B. Harvey,
'I2, should have little trouble in an.
nexing the majority of these games.
(The complete schedule is given in
another column.)
Delaware played her first game of
the season last Wednesday at Swarth-
more ,and was defeated by the strong
Quaker nine 10 to o. Jolls was Coach
McAvoy's selection to ofticiate on the
mound; but he was knocked out of the
bo kin the first round and was sue
ceeded by Knopf, who did fairly we'll,
allowing seven hits in as many in
uings. Although our boys fielded we'll
they were lamentably weak with uie
hickory or ash, or whateve. the bah
are made of, and only garn.-ed one
hit; while Swarthmore slammed the
pellet eleven times, and as three OF
these swats went to the fence, they
aided considerably in charging the
score. Huston showed up very wei
as catcher and has undoubtedly OBJ
tanned mortgage on the position. He
caught three men trying to piller sec,
ond during the first part of the merry
go round, which somewhat discour
aged the Swarthmofe bunch and NJ
more attempts were made in that dl
rection. The team has hard schedule
ahead OF it, and will certainly have tt
do some tall hustling with the stick tC
come out even: bur they can't expec
to win them all, because it's a lons
alley that has no ash barrel
