BLUE AND GOLD
HAS NEW COACH
Baumgartner Former National
League Pitcher Now
Leader of Delaware
College Football

"Pep" seems to be the first name
of Stanwood Lefty" Baumgarn-
ner, the new football coach at
Delaware College. Since he took
charge of the squad last Friday
Baumgartner has demonstrated in
more ways than one that the men
who make the Blue and Gold
eleven this year have got to work
for their positions and work hard.
Before taking the men out on
Frazer Field for the first practice
under his direction last week
Coach Baumgartner gave them a
talk in chapel. He made it plain
to them right at the first that he
was to be absolute boss on the
field and what he would expect
from every man who came out for
the team. He demanded loyalty of
every candidate, strict observance
of all training rules and that every
candidate give his best at all
times. He also told the men that
he would be on hand early every
morning to look after details and
would expect each candidate on
the field at the earliest possible
moment every afternoon.
AS a result of this plain talk by
Coach Baumgartner he won the
good will of every football candi-
date, student and member of tbs
faculty. Each and every man has
promised to give him the best that
he has at all times during the sea
son. On the first day when Coach
Baumgartner worked the candi
dates hard for two hours and ther
run them three times around the
track before sending them to the
showers there was not a complain
although it was tired set of ath
letes who went to the "gyni" tina
day.
This kind of training has beer
reported every day since. A train
ing table with the new coach a
the head of it has been establishes
in the Commons and will be con
tinued during the season. On Sun
day the squad was taken on a loni
"hike."
Coach Brumgartner realize
that his greatest proposition is t.
get backfeld, as only one of las
years backfeld men is back. H

RURAL SLACkERS
Those Who Fail To Report
For Examination Looked
On AS Deserters

Some of the registrants in rural
New Castle County who have fail
ed to report to the Local Exemp-
ton Bord at the time specified for
physical examination will have a
hard time explaining this neglect
to the Federal authorities. Accord
ing to a notice sent out by Provost
Marshal Crowder they are to be
held as deserters and $50 reward
is offered to any one who turns
such slackers over to any army
post or camp. While 46 men failed
to report for examination when
the third levy was called recently
it is understood that most of these
can probably give a reasonable
excuse. Some have enlisted and
others are i'll. 1t is thought that
the Local Board now has it's entire
quota of 214 men ready to be sent
to camp on a few days notice, al

been preliminary work such as

General Won Stein, German minister Of

The committee rejected a Radical

The Advice of Rear Admiral
DeGouy, Retired

Paris. April 2.-Rear Admiral DeGouy,
retired, today advocated a change OF
methods in dealing with the submarine
menace in view of the torpedoing within
one week of 40 vessels of more than 1909
tons. according to figures given out in
London.
1T is indispensable to prevent the great
est possible number of submarines from
beginning operations the admiral said.
ITO pursue and destroy when possible
submarines in operation is very we'll and
evidently advisable to continue in this
direction. but that is insufficient. The
only and decisive means Of preventing the
Germans from disturbing the Allies Is to
fight with him in his home waters.

In the lull Of the great battle the

Europe can be heard more plainly The
political and economic storm which has
been brewing in Germany apparently
has been by no means averted by the
hasty measures of the government.
The meagre items which elude the
censor throw some light on the situa-
ton. Not merely are the Berlin papers
showing increasing nervousness over
the threatened general strike on May
!, but it appears that the recent strike
has not been SO definitely and satisfac-
toriIy settled as has been asserted in
official circles. The Lokal Anzeiger,
staunch organ Of the junkers, admits
that some of the strikers still are out
and official reports to the Washington
state department speak of 100000 labor
ers in Berlin having quit work.

APPREHENSION
OF NEW STRIKE
SHOWN IN THE
EXPOSTULATIONS

CopenhaVen, April Ii-(Nla LOnQon).-
All the German newspapers today indicate
deep and widespread apprehension that
a revival of last weeks strike movement
is imminent. The whispers of a possible
May day strike which came from few
papers yesterday swelled today to cho-
rus of expostulation and appeal to the
workingmen not to allow themselves to
be swept off their feet by strike agitators
nor to leave their brothers in the field In
the lurch by checking the stream Of mu-
nitions and supplies.
