portant meeting of the Delaware Col
lege Athletic Council will be held at
the college tonight. There are sew
eral matters of interest that are to
come before the council. which body
has control over all athletic events
IN connection with the institution.
The football season now drawing 10
a close will be discussed and no doubt
Coach McAvoy will be commended for
the fine showing that he has made on
The gridiron with comparatively new
team. He had only two or three OF
the 1915 players TO start the season
with in September yet he has maze a
line record.
Another important matter to be
considered WI he the basketball
schedule. Wilson ODaniel. for three
years subst'tute quarterback on the
football team, is manager of basket
ball. but rs with Company i. Organ
jzed Militia of Delaware, at Deming'
n NJ. O'Daniel did some of the work
relative to the schedule for the cont
ing season but most of the work is
being done from the college. The
schedule is not complete but partial
report will likely be made tonight
Coach McAvoy will be as bad OF as
20 basketball as he was with football
at the start OF the season. OF last
wears basketball team. which was
one of the best that has represented
Delaware for several years. only one
or the varsity squad is back this year.
Doherty and Weimer, the two crack
guards. and wills, centre graduated
in June. and Siler, forward, did not
return. This leaves only the two
Horsey boys. who played much on
the varsity last year. or the scrubs
Tom Wilson is injured and n the Del
aware Hospital; Johnny Jones grad
uated: OToole entered Missouri state
and several others on the scrubs VIII
not be out.
This puts Il up to. Coach McAvoy to
get out practically an entire new
team. McAvoy has done this so often
IN all ines of sport since he took up
his duties as coach at Delaware some
wears ago. that the student body and
others. interested in the college sports
are expecting to see him get out an
other good FIVE, Notwithstanding his
handicap.

provements to the dormitory, cannot
be used for practice or the games this
wear. All practice and the regular
scheduled games will be played in the
armory.

baseball schedule for next spring
will also likely be considered at the
meeting tonight Several games arc
already under consideration and II is
likely that the schedule will be lone
one. The baseball manager, George
G. Brewer. is also at the border with
the Newark Company Of Militia. and
for that reason the council is anNiou
TO get the schedule under way as il is
realized il is a hard proposition FOL

correspondence with colleges fo
games during their duty as soldiers

team for several years, did not returi
