Basketball Practice Begun

Basketball practice has started at Del
aware College and the indications are
that there is much better material to pick
the cage team from than there was to
select the football eleven. Manager Fos-
ter is working on the schedule and it is
understood that he has it nearly complet-
ell but it will not be released for publlca-
ton before December 1t is likely that
the schedule will not call for any games
with other college teams until after the
Christmas holidays although there may be
some inter-class games, which are always
of much interest.
There is an unusually large number
or candidates to select the quintet from
this wear compared with past years. This
is due to the fact that the freshmen class
brought in number of likely candidates
and several who are expected to make the
Varsity team. OF last year 5 Varsity but
few are still in college. Captain Hamel
did not return and Wallace Sawdon will
likely be chosen captain in his place. Cap
tain Sawdon, of last year s five, Lewis
and Harvey are others of the 1911 team
who are not in college this year.
Sawdon and Cam, two veterans, are
understood to be reasonably sure of a
place on the five, although the men who
show the most class will get the positions
Some of the 1911 substitutes who will
also try for "A place are Dean, McNeai
Foster Gibney, McCafferty and Hoch.
OF the freshmen who will make strong
bid for place on the Varsity are severa
who are well known to the lovers of the
sport One of the most prominent OF
these is Daley, who was a crack man oil
Wilmington Friends School quintet TO
several years, and his friends predict tha
he will make the team. Others are Hort,
and Kyle, formerly of the Wilmington
High School, Foster, Weimer, Rigney AM
Hirshman. The latter is rated as Della
ware best football player and he i
said to be equally good III the cage as h
is on the gridiron.
One of the first events after the clos
of the football season will be an inter
class athletic meet which Coach McAvo

Sensible Women Know
Foundation of Health

As health talks to women become
more general, both in the newspapers
and on the platform, the mass of
women are beginning to realize what
the more cultivated have always
known, that good health cannot be
found in a powder box. The externals
of health may be obtained in that
way, but the basis of health lies
deeper, and yet is just as easily OBJ
tanned.
The most important thing that a
woman can do for herself, and about
which she is often most neglectful.
is to watch the condition of her
stomach and bowels. The weary eyes.
the bad breath, the frequent head
aches. the pimples. the general air Of
lassitude is nine times out of ten the

SAVES CREW

LEWES. Del. Jan. 29-Captain John

ton, by making a remarkably clever
shot of the life line, saved two men
imprisoned among the ice foes in a
disabled naptha launch Owing to
the crush Of ice along the shore, it
was not possible to get through to
them in life boats and, the distance
from shore to their craft being more
than 1000 feet, the success Of the gun
seemed doubtful.
The object was small, but Captain
Lynch succeeded in laying the line
directly across the boat in the first
shot fired. The men were pulled
ashore, suffering severely from the exc
posure, but otherwise uninjured.
