Kappa Alpha Fraternity Holds
Thirteenth Annual Dance

On Tuesday evening last Beta Epsi-
lon, the local chapter of the Kappa
Alpha Fraternity, held it's thirteenth
annual dance in the Newark Armory.
The affair was a great success in
every respect, and was thoroughly
enjoyed by all who were present.
This dance was undoubtedly one of
the most elaborate ever held by the
chapter and gave evidence of much in
dividuality on the part of it's men,
bers in both the program and the
unique decorations. The former were
made up of mahogany colored folder
with cord and tassel in the fraternity
colors.
The decorations were most attrac-
tive. Strips of crinkled paper of the
fraternity colors, were draped in dou-

the end of the first half of the pro.

furled and made to flutter by means

Game Ends In 3-3 Tie

On last Saturday Delaware and
Rock Hill College played ten innings
to a3-3 tie. The game was called
at this point on account of a thunder
shower. The game was very close
and extremely exciting at times.
The pitching of Clancy showed i'm
provement over his work in last Sat-
urday's game. He was wild at times
but pitched consistent ball in the pin
ches.
In the first inning Rock Hill got 60
ing with two hits in succession and
sacrifice netting the visitors two tai
lies. However, the Blue and Gold
Games back strong in their half by
scoring on a couple errors and pass.
After the first inning both teams
settled down and no scoring was done
until the fifth when each put tally
across. Rock Hill made their run by
Collins walking, stealing second and
being knocked home by Parrot. Della
ware tailed theirs by Clancy getting
safe on Cummings error and scoring
on D. Horsey's single.
Both pitchers pitched equally good
bali. Clancy whitfield nine and Cotter
had seven strike-outs to his credit.
Cotter allowed four hits while only
three were made off of Clancy's de-
livery.
In the hitting line Ferguson showed
up well, while D. Horsey played fine
fielding game at second for Delaware.
