The giving OF the annual banquet
TO the football squad and 1916 I'D"
men in other college sports was dis
cussed at some length II has been
the custom for several years to give
such a banquet in Wilmington 20 be
followed by a theater party. Last
night it was debated whether or not It
would be advisable for the Council to
spend the money this year for such a
banquet, considering the fact that con-
siderable was lost on the football sea
son. Il was pointed out, however, that
the men who have made good records
/ in sports during the year have looked
forward TO the affair and that it would
not be consistent to disappOiDt them.
/ II was eventually decided on motion
/ to give the banquet Probably at the
Hotel DUPONT in Wilmington, but 20
not include a theater party after the
! banquet as was done in previous
years.
This banquet will not be held until
after the Christmas holidays. Those
who are eligible to attend the banquet
are the I'D and del" men in foot
ball and those who made their 90"
in basketball, track and baseball
during the present year with the
manager of each team and members
OF the Athletic Council. This will
probably make between 40 OF so men.
AT this banquet the football captain
for 1917 will be elected and the pres
ent indications are that Ernie Wilson,
who has played tackle on the varsity
for three years, will get the honor.
Coach McAvoy reported that d.
Horsey had been elected captain of
the basketball team for the coming
season and Harold Horsey captain of
baseball for 1917, which elections
were approved by the Council.
Coach McAvoy also reported that
under the present system OF military
drills at the college. the basketball
men could get out for practice but
two night each week, and that there
was no time for candidates for the
usual Freshman-Sophomor indoor
meet TO get in shape. He explained
i that he would not like to see the men
enter the indoor meet unless they
we're in proper shape and consequently
he would recommend that the meet be
omitted for this year. After some
discussion the Council decided Il
abandon the indoor meet for 1916.
