Delaware Trounces
St. Mary's
Best Game On Frazer Field

team came back last Saturday ;
came back with all the old-time Del
aware spirit and fight that charac-
terized the famous Delaware teams
of years ago. That one statement
epitomizes the story Of the Della
ware-Mt. st. Mary's game on Joe
Frazer Field last Saturday. The
final score was-DeIaware20, Mt,
st. Mary's, 13.
Singing under the criticism
aroused by their listless playing in
the game between Delaware and
Washington College, when Della
ware was defeated by the score of
13 to 0, the Blue and Gold players
spent last week in the hardest kind
of practice. Saturdays score show
ed the result. On slippery, mud
dy field, in a drizzling half rain,
half sleet Old Delaware s sons play
ed game worthy Of any team. Play
after play was successfully attemp-
ted with a snap and rush that
brought the few score spectators to
their feet, and kept the students
cheering constantly.
Mt. st. Mary's came to Newark
superbly confident Of at least a so
to 0 victory over Delaware. And
they played good game. They
were simply conquered by the grit
and fight of the Delaware team,
backed by the results of the week s
practice. They can carry back to
Emmittsburg the story of defeat
stOutly contested.
The game was remarkable for the
small number Of forward passes at
tempted, each team making only
five tries each. Of the passes at
tempted Delaware succeeded in
three, netting 72 yards; st. Mary's
succeeded in two for Is yards. Both
teams refrained from punting;
Dowdle kicked twice for the Noun
taineers, and Taylor three times for
Delaware.
Although the Blue and Gold
played as team and not as a group
Of individuals Handy and Huston
were easily the stars of the game.
The most spectacular play of the
game was the run of Taylor of al
most the whole length of the field.
On an intercepted pass he secured
the ball, and aided by perfect in
reference by Handy, Lenderman
and Foster, made a run Of 62 yards,
before he was downed within three
yards of the goal. In two line
plunges Handy forced the ball
across the line.
FIRST PERIOD
Taylor kicked off to DowdIe on
Mt. st. Mary's 30-yard line. By
means Of end runs and heavy line
plunging and aided by a forward |
pass for Is yards, the boys from the
Mount carried the ball over Della
wares goal line and kicked a goal.
Taylor again kicked off to Dowdle
on the 3O-yard line and ran the ball
back five yards before he was pulled
to the ground. A tumble followed,
which was quickly pounced upon
by Carswell.
In the next two plays Delaware
gained but five yards and Cam
tried forward to Taylor, which
failed giving the ball to the Mount
on their own 25-yard line. After
three unsuccessful attempts at line
plunging the mountaineers tried
forward pass which was knocked to
the ground by Carswell, thus giving
Delaware the ball Oh the "Saints'
4O-yard line. Big Boy Handy went
off tackle for ten yards. Then the
Huston-Handy combination sue
ceeded in taking the ball within
distance of the visitor s
goal line. Little Jimmy ploughed
through center for a touchdown.
The stand went wild with cheer
ing and TO the tune Of ''Hail to the
chief, " Taylor, with a neatly plac-
I'd kick, put the ball between the
lprights. With this the Old Della
ware yell thundered across the field
schoing and re-echoing from the
beyond.
Taylor kicked off to Keene, who
'eceived the pigskin on the 2O-yard
Inc, and carried it back ten yards
before he was downed by Foster.
Jarswell got behind the line and
'hrew Mahoney for three-yard
oss. The mountaineers were sue
'essful with forward pass for an
'lght-yard gain. In the next few
'lays the big lads from Emmitts-
,urg made two first downs. On a
delayed pass the visitors sent the
