allowed by Coach McAvoy to take il
comparatively easy this week, as there
is not another game until Thanksgiv-
ing Day. Thursday, Of next week
This does not mean, however. that
there viii be no practice. as the
squad viii at least do some light work
each afternoon, and there will be the
usual mid-week scrimmage.
Some Of the players were not well
pleased with the treatment that they
received at Emmitsburg On Saturday,
when they defeated the Mt st. Mary's
team by the score OF 10 to 6. Ac-
cordiug TO some OF the Delaware men,
the treatment complained OF was
largely due to the actions Of the
student body on the side lines, and
not so much the Opposing players.
There was also trouble following the
game. over the football that had been
uesd in the game, and which the Win
ming team was entitled to. When
Delaware men tried 10 get the ball
they were surrounded by practically
the entire student body and for a
few seconds it looked as though there
might be trouble. Coach McAvoy got
his PLAYERS 10 leave the field without
any other effort TO secure the ball.

With only one remaining game.
Delaware has won five and lost three
games this season. Much credit is
due Coach McAvoy for the strong
team that he has developed when the
prospects at the beginning OF the scr
son were not very bright because OF
several OF the 1914 varsity rot re-
turning. The three defeats were adj
ministered by Hayerf0fd. Lafayette
and Catholic University. Delaware
won two gap,-s from the strong Penn

also defeated Western Maryland,
Dickinson and Mt ST. Mary's.
Every player on the team has train
ed faithfully this season. and as a
consequence they have all been In ex-
ccllont physical condition. There has
not been serious accident all sea-
son. and in number OF the hardest
games the original eleven men who
started the game, played the entire
game through without an injury.

BROWNSON MEN IN
MINSTREL FUN AGAIN

Arrangements are being completed
by the dramatic committee of the
Brownson Library Association for
the minstrel performance to be given
by that organization in the New Cen.
tury Club on December 2
The production will be under the
direction of John A. Sullivan. Mr..
Sullivan is one of its foremost city
vocalists and is also an accomplish
ed pianist. He has been unusually
successful in directing minstrels and
his ability for creating comic
sketches has gained him a wide
reputation in the State.
The interlocutOr will be surround
ed by semi-circle Of twenty-eight
men. The whole minstrel troupe
will number about fifty. New and
original jokes. together with the sea-
sons latest song hits, will feature
the program.
AS the time in which to prepare
is very short, rehearsals are now
being held at least four times each
week in Brownson Holl. Due TO the
splendid talent displayed by all of
the unusually large number OF men,
bers desiring TO participate in the
minstrel, the selection OF the repre-
sentative cast was made somewhat
difficult for Mr.. Sullivan, and the
same was not chosen until last week.
The costumes will differ from the
usual minstrel dress. They will be
on a conservative order and viii
make a good appearance. The Brown
son Association has decided to spare
no expense IN the procuring OF good
costumes, as IL realizes that the sue
cess OF the show depends not only on
ihe talent displayed but also on the
appearance made by the men.
Immediately following the minstrel
show there will be a dance. With this
event included in the evenings pro-
gram, the association can foresoe
nothing but a complete success and a
most ENJOYABLE evening Tor ali those
who are fortunate in attending.
The committee in charge of the
anair comprises; James Quigley.

 In announcing that he would gladly accept Secretary Daniels invitation Edison said he believed the proposal so important that it should be attend ed to at once, while the war in Europe was bringing before the public the im- portaRce of encouraging and develop ing ideas and inventions of Americans especially officers and men of the Army and Navy
 "The United States is far behind in these matters" said Edison. q believe it is highly important for a board of civilians, made up of engineers from leading industries. to be formed to look into the feasibility of ideas de- veloped by young men.
 "The European war has served to draw attention to the fact that many American ideas and inventions have been allowed to slip by. and if this matter is put off until the war is over there is danger of it being forgotten"

 The outline of the German note as cabled by Ambassador Gerard is known to be far from satisfactory to American officials With respect te the sinking Of the Lusitania, in which more than 100 Americans perished, no admission of liability is made. Whether in extenuation or not, the view is expressed in the draft that when torpedoed it was not believed the Lusitania would sink as rapidly as she did

CARRANzA ID ASK
 FOR WILSON'S
Taking of Mexico City Streng-
 thens Hand of First Chiefi
CLAIMS TO BE STRONG MAN"
Followers Say He Is Ready to Re- lieve Famine Sufferers and Re- store Orderly Governmeat-
 Villa in Bad Plight.

Washington. u.~-Convinced that Che re- capture by the Constituencies of Mexico City means an early suhiec- ton of all Mexico to the rule of Car ranza. members of the Consututonal- ist agency here indicated that within a short time Carranza would renew his request for formal recognition by President Wilson.
 Assertion that possession of the city foreshadows the collapse of Nil- las opposition, the local agents said that Carranza would remove his capi- tai from Vera Cruz to Mexico City, and at once proceed to set un civil government capable of governing the entire country.
 Large supplies of food, they say, have been purchased by the Constitu- tionalists for distribution among the poor in Mexico City and in localities where famine continues to exist In the meantime. they say Carranza will push vigorously his plans for com plete crushing of his opponents. and they predict that in a brief time he will have made it clear beyond possi- bility of doubt that he is the one man to meet the qualifications demanded by President Wilson on June 2 when he called on the Mexican nation to produce strong enough man to restore peace or leave the job to the United States.
 Although members of the Villa Jun ta profess to see no material advan- tage for Carranza in retaking of MeXi- co City on the ground that to hold it will require him to keep the bulk of his army there, State Department ad- vices seem to bear out the claims of the Garranzistas that Villa is in a bad plight generally.
 As for zapata. Villas ally, who had been holding Mexico City. the Car ranza agency says that the last battle practically put him out of business.
 Official confirmation of the capture of the capital was received at the State Department in the form of the following dispatch from United States Consul John R. Silliman.
 Charles A Douglas, Carranza's chief counsel. wired from Vera Cruz that Gonzales was taking with him into Mexico City 300 carloads of foodstuffs for immediate distribution among the famine sufferers there
