Delaware Refuses Games

At a meeting of the Delaware
Athletic Council it was decided to
refuse the proposition made by the
Columbia University football Off
cials to play a game in New York
on the Saturday before Thanksgiv-
ing. Delaware has a Thanksgiv-
ing game scheduled and for that
reason turned down the Columbia
game.
The Council also refused bas-
ket ball proposition from the man
agement of the University of Penn
sylvania, for December eleventh.
Delaware's basket ball schedule
does not start until after the holl-
days, and therefore Coach McAvoy
would not have a team in shape by
the date mentioned.

brary and their reading, this being
a great help to the readers who are
unable to come to the Library and
consult the catalogues and look
over the books. The readers
think almost as much of their mes
senger as they do of the books.
Many good friends of the Blind
have subscribed literally to the
Library and it is certain that moth
ing can give so much enjoyment
as a new book in the hands of
those who read with the fingers. 1t
is to be regretted that the litera-
ture of tangible print is limited to
the few books which come from
the presses and an unfortunate
conflict of types which great eff
forts are now being made to unity.
Letters written in Braille from
many blind patrons show how
heartily this splendid work of the
library is appreciated.
