.SEAFORD TALKS
FOOTBALL NOW

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
STAFFORD. Del. oct. THE YOUNG

these days, and it is likely seaforo
VIII be represented ON the eridiron
with a strong squad Seaford played
but one game last season, dus to the
TACT that none Of the nearby Della
ware and Maryland towns had team.
In years before Seaford has al
ways had team and for seven, years
straight the local high school won the
undisputed scholastic championship
title of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore OF Maryland. In 1909. however,
the Wilmington high school boys.
with such a strong combination as
Kyle, Dennis and Horty, wrested the
honors from the Soaford boys in a
memorable battle.
The game was perhaps the greatest
school game ever played in Delaware
and was witnessed by the largest
number of spectators that had been
on the Front and Union street
grounds that season. The score was
II to 0. It was the first and only
time the Seaford High School were
defeated at football
Toby Thompson, who was manager
of the team at that time, has called
for a meeting Of the enthusiasts for
this evening, at which time the
subject of getting a team together
will be discussed and an organization

the complications they get into are

merely commonplace structures pos
sessing neither originality nor artis.
tic worth. Not many years ago post
offices were designed in this haphaz-
ard style. The result is that the Uni
ted States has a large number of
cheap, inartistic buildings which de-
face many an aspiring city.
Uncle Sam, however, has finally
learned that it pays to inject an art
element even in so utilitarian "A pro-
position as the erection of public
buildings, and is now employing some
of the most eminent architects the
nation can boast. This is particular
ly true of the ew government struc-
lures in Washington, which will, in
the near future, convert it into the
most artictic capital in the world. But
the policy is not confined to Washing
ton: one need only glance OF the plans
for the new New York City post Of
flee, the recently completed federal
building in Cleveland, Ohio; and a
score of other noble structures TO
be convinced of that fact.
The new "art policy" will be seen
to the best advantage in the small
cities. With comparatively small ap-
propriatio(s the government archi-
tects are turning out a wealth of
charming buildings in wide range of
styles from the Italian Renaissance
to the Californa Mission. Many a
small. ambitious city now boasts a
federal building which is brilliant
architectural achievement
With view to further elevating
the character of the designs OF these
small buildings, three competitions
some time ago were instituted under
the Tarsney act, and twenty of the
best American architects were asked
to enter each of these competitions.
One building selected for the com
petition was TO be placed at Rolla,
Mo, the appropriation for which was
10000; another will be erected in
Waukegan, III. for which there Is an
of $4,000; the third
will be built in Orange, \. j.. for
which 100000 is appropriated.
Secretary of the Treasury McNeagh
appealed to the patriotism OF these
architects because he wished to have
the benefit of their study of The 5rob-
lem. As soon as the design; result
ing from the "rmp-ritlOn We're aC-
