Entertainment A Success

Heavy rain on Christmas night
disappointed many who had plan
ned to attend the entertainment
given by the Sunday School in the
Presbyterian church. Those who
braved the storm pronounced the
program the best given for years.
The church had been transformed
with Christmas green's, and the
huge tree laden with gifts filled
the atmosphere with the fragrance
of woodland spruce. Following the
formal program, the lights were
extinguished, only the soft glow
from the logs on the fire place, fix
ed for the occasion, in the front of
the church, lighting the building.
After few moments Of hushed ex-
pectancy Santa Claus, impersonat-
ed by Mr.. Orlando Strahorn, came
from back Of the chimney. He car
ried his usual pack of good things,
which he distributed among the
girls and boys. Gifts from the tree
made everyone happy.

Frightened Horse
Creates Excitement

A horse belonging to VIM. P.
Wollaston became frightened on
North Chapel street last Wednes-
day evening. The animal, which
was hitched to the delivery wagon,
turned the Chapel street corner at
a dangerous speed and caused con-
siderable excitement in that part of
town. The wagon crashed into the
hitching post in front of Singles
store with a force that tore off a
wheel. The horse dragged the
wagon on the hub, up Main street,
turning in at the home stable. Both
occupants of the wagon were
thrown out but neither hurt. The
horse, which is a quiet creature, as
soon as it had reached the stable,
seemed unexcited and quite con-
tent.

HIGH
SCHOOL TEAM

Without a coach or the benefit of
an indoor cage, without the sup
port of the townspeople and with
all athlete events evershadowed
by College activities, Newark High
School boys this season have de-
veloped the fastest five that has
ever represented the school.
The strength Of the team has
greatly surprised ain opponents,
and the present prospect is that
they will end the season as the
school champions Of Delaware. The
team has been defeated only once,
by Oxford High, after having de-
feated the same team on the home
grounds to the tune of 26 to 2.
Other schools with whom the boys
have played are Wilmington High,
defeating them II to 8; and Dover
High 20 to II.
1t is felt that Smyrna is the only
school that possibly stands between
the local team and the State cham
plonship for the season. Efforts
will be made to secure the Della
ware College gymnasium for one
game with Smyrna to decide the
supremacy of the two teams. The
next scheduled game is with the du
Pont High School in Wilmington,
early next week.
The makeup of the Newark
team is; Greene and Bowen, for
wards; Ferguson, centre; Miller
and Ritz, guards. The latter, who
recently moved to Newark from
Pittsfield, Mass, and entered the
High School, has played but two
games, but his work has strength
ened the team. Miller is playing
a fine game at guard this year, and
Greene and Bowen are improving
with every game, in shooting field
goals. The star Of the team, how
ever, is Ferguson, the big center.
Not only is Ferguson a good de-
fense man, but he is exceptionally
strong on offense and his shooting
has featured several games.

Gift To Dela-
ware College
Alumni Endowment Fund As
sured

One contribution Of $4,000 to
the endowment fund that is being
raised by special committee Of the
Delaware College Alumni Associa-
ton has been received by the COM
mlttee. The name of the donor has
not been announced and it is claim
ed that at his request his name will
not be made public, the contribu-
ton being made with that under
standing.
The prospect of securing an en-
dowment fund for Delaware Col
lege was launched at the annual
banquet Of the Alumni Association
at the Hotel DUPONT, on Washing
tons Birthday last year. The col
lege has no endowment fund what
ever and the president is required
to teach as well as look after the
executive part Of the college bust
ness. The alumni members were Of
the opinion that by raising an en-
dowment fund of 100000, the
president could be relieved of the
duty of teaching classes and de-
vote his entire time to the general
executive work.
The suggestion met with hearty
approval at the banquet but it was
voted to make the amount of the
fund desired $250,O0O. Much en-
thusiasm was shown at the time
and some members Of the alumni
pledged themselves for contribu-
tons at once. III. Rodney Sharp,
Hugh M. Morris, T. Bayard Heisel,
Richard S. Rodney, and Charles w.
Bush were appointed a committee
to try and secure the fund. This
committee has worked hard but
with not a great deal of success
until this time.
In addition to this $4,000 sub
scription the committee has also Sc
cured about $500, in small con-
tributions. The members of the
committee are greatly encouraged
and feel that the announcement of
this general gift is sure to result in
other substantial contributions be-
ing made.
