noon and for the first time In sixteen
years defeated Haverford College team
by a score Of 2 TO 0. 10 was a great
game, as clean as modern football can
be played in which Delaware sn8tched
out a victory IN the last quarter, when
Harry Loose intercepted a forward
pass and with splendid blocking by his
teammates llmped and dashed along
60 yards for a touchdown, Captain
Ernie" Wilson kicking the goal as a
stin breeze swept the gridlron and an
airship scared above.
Delaware and Haverford played a
scoreless tie at Newark last year, and
have played several ties in the years
gone by. sixteen years ago Delaware,
captainod by Jack" Huxley, defeated
Haverford by a score Of to at Front
and Union. There Is no doubt that the
gold and blues student body will have
a real celebration at Newark tonight.
For three periods the rival teams had
battled each other TO a stand-of, Della
ware suddenly losing her punch after
carrying the ball TO Haverford's fifteen
yard line In the first period. And then
Haverford threw an awful scare into
Delaware after the klck-on at tho be-
ginning Of the second half when
Devices ran the ball back to Delaware s
eight yard line before George Tonkln
brought him down. From that time on
Delaware PLAYED real football after re-

attempted three drop kicks during the
afternoon, but one of these was block
ed and the other two sailed wide. The
open style Of play was hardly more
successful with Haverford, as only a
few Of the many passes hurled were
successfully concluded. Those forward
passed which were most successful
were those IN which Devices figured
on the receiving end. Haverford eX-
celled Delaware in the forward passing
phase Of play.
