DELAWARE
LOOKS BETTER
MCAvOy Expects Team to Win
Saturday Game From
Gettysburg
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Nov. AFTER two
days of light practice Coach McAvoy
put the Delaware eleven through the
hardest practice which has been held
SO far this year. The Varsity under
the direction os Captain Carlswell,
lined up against the Scrubs for four
eight-minute periods. The Varsity
scored two touchdowns, one in the
first and the other in the last period
The Scrubs were put at a great disad-
vantage by the absence of Mullin,
their regular quarterback. who is now
playing on the Varsity They showed
up well, however, and made two fine
forward passes out of four attempts.
The Varsity used only straight foot
ball, but did not gain consistently.
Once the Varsity had the ball on the
Scrubs fve-yard line but the Scrubs
held for downs and Connellee punted
out of danger The work of Hirsh-
man was a feature of the Varsity's
work
The team as a whole is in very
good shape and all of the men are full
of ginger and anxious to win the game
on Saturday The coach while he
will not make any prediction as to
the outcome Of the game with Get
tysburg, seems 20 be well satisfied
with the work of the team and thinks
that Delaware has a good chance to
win. Captain Huston was out on the
side lines and helped in coaching the
Scrubs. The only part of the team
that is causing any trouble is the in
reference. McAvoy is working hard
with the backfeld so as they will run
interference better
There will be only very light
practice tonight because the team
will leave at 1902 o'clock Friday for
Gettysburg. This long trip will make
it impossible for the team to hold any
practice on Friday.
