capped because OF the players being

missed numerous opportunities for
field goals on easy chances. Tho home
team also showed a weakness in
shooting fouls and had Delaware been
as efficient in dropping the fouls in.
tho score would have been much clos
er. Out Of 10 fouls called en- the Wis
itors Delaware made but 6. while
Susquehanna got s out of a possible
