Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Nov 25.-The Delaware
College varsity and scrubs had their
first scrimmago Of the week yesterday
afternoon. On account Of there be-
ing no game scheduled for tomorrow
Coach McAvoy has made the practice
easy for the football squad this week.
There viii be a hard practice, how
ever, the first Of next week TO get in
shape for the final game Of the sea-
son on Thanksgiving Day with St.
Nary's. The varsity displayed consid-
oralbe pep" in the scrimmage ycster-
day and scored several times on the
scrubs.
Lauritsen, the varsity guard. who
was injured in the game against Gal
iaudet last Saturday, has not entirely
recovered and will not likely be able
70 get in the game Thanksgiving Day.
IN this case Carter and Marconetti
will, no doubt, play the guard posi-
tions. Marston who has done such fine
work in the backfield the last two
games. will probably be in tho game
again He has developed into one OF
the best open field runners on the
team
The work Of the team this year has
been a great surprise to those who
knew at the beginning Of the season
how few Of the old men that Coach
McAvoy had TO start with Captain
Fidance and E. Wilson, are the only
two men who played on the varsity
last year.
Coach McAvoy deserves great credit
FOR the team that he has developed
from new material Most. of the var
sity is made up OF freshmen ana
ophomores which should assure o
fast team TO start with next year. Out
OF seven games played 10 date four
have ben victories. two defeats and
one tic Delaware has won from p. NJ.
C.. Stevens. ST. Johns and Gallaudet,
and lost to Dickinson and Western
Maryland. The Blue and Gold held
their old rivals Haverford. 10 score
less tie.
The game on Thanksgiving Day
viii be the last for Captain Fldance.
who has played quarterback on the
varsity for three years. Fidance has
been one OF the best quarters Della
