AWARDS LETTERS

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Dec. 13.--That the Della
ware College football team made a
good impression in the football world
the past season by the fine article OF
ball they played in most OF thelr
games was demonstrated at the meet
ing of the Athletic Council last night
when Manager Knowles r. Bowen, OF
the 1917 eleven, made tentative re-
port of the prospective schedule Tor
next season. Among the teams that
have either been scheduled or are
seeking games with Delaware for
1917 are: Brown University. picked
BY many experts as the best eleven
in the country the past season.
Haverford, Swarthmore, Franklin and
Marshall. Stevens. Dickinson, Gala
duet, Western Maryland, st. Johns
Pennsylvania Military College Mt.
ST. Mary's and others.
Brown University offered four
different dates for game with Della
ware. The dates suggested by the
Providence college we're October 8, Is
or 90. November 3. The Athletic
Council while realizing the prestige
that such a game would give the blue
and gold also realized that Delaware
IS not yet strong enough to meet sucn
a crack team and consequently a
game with Brown was not seriously
considered.
There will be at least one new
team on Delaware's schedule the next
season that will meet with popular
approval. This is Swarthmore. A
game has been closed and contract
signed for the Little Quakers to play
at Newark on November ] OF next
year. This will be the game before
Thanksgiving when both eleVens
should be in their best form. Dela'
ware in past years played swarm
more and there have been Efforts tc
renew football relations between the
two institutions for some years. The
fact that the blue and gold will again
meet the Little Quakers in 1917 VII
no doubt meet with the hearty ap-
proval OF alumnus of the college.
According to the tentative schedule
presented by Manager Bowen las
night the 1917 season will open witt
a game with p. NJ. c. on the loca
grounds on October 6. The FOLLOWING
