There will be several hundred

gymnasium. The college orches-
ira will furnish music during the
lunch hour. In the morning of that

all during the program there will
be selections by the college band. In
addition to this All-Scholastic meet

Announcement was made at the
meeting last night that the Cham
Der of Commerce of Wilmington

city, will give thetwo silver loving
cups to b eawrded to the winning
relay team in each class. The
name of the winner will be engrav-
ed on the cups each year and when
a school has won one Of them three
times it becomes theproperty Of that
school. Two fine banners that are
to be given the school in each class
scoring the largest number Of
points have been secured and We're
exhibited at the meeting. The
Council also approved the design
for the medals to be awarded the
individuals finishing first, second
and third in each event Of the two
classes. This will make 10 sets of
medals for each class, there being
10 events for each class. The med
ais will be gold, silver and bronze.
The design of these medals con-
tains picture of the entrance to
Joe Frazer Field and of Joe Frazer
for whom the field is named.
DR.. Walter H. Steel, treasurer Of
the Council read an interesting re-
port of the reception and disburse-
ments during the football and bas-
ketball seasons. The report show
ed that from a financial standpoint
the past season in both football
and basketball were the most sue
cessful that the college has ever
had. In previous years there has
always been a large deficit and
while there was a deficit the past
seasons it was several hundred dol
lars less than usual There is a
general belief however, among the
members Of the Council that sports
at Delaware College will reach the
stage during the coming year when
they will be self-supporting, as
more interest is being taken in the
various events since the fine athlet-
ic field was completed.
Coach McAvoy presented the
football schedule for next fall
which was approved by the Coun-
Gil. he schedule provides for a
game with Lafayette, the first in
some years. 1t will be the opening
game and will be played at Easton.
A game is also scheduled for
Thanksgiving Day for the first
time in some years. The manage
ment was fortunate in securing the
Carlisle Indian Reserves for this
day and the Indians should prove
one of the best attractions on the
schedule. The schedule as approx
ed follows:
September 26, Lafayette College at
Easton
October 3, Baltimore Polytechnic
Institute at Newark
