IN AN INTERVIEW with H. c. Stewart the real es-
tate broker Georgetown, Delaware, and in response
to questions touching activity Of real selling
proposition he made the following statement viz;
Never has there been greater demand for Della
ware farms than present The cold winters of the
North and the dry weather OF the past three
years in the West has brought about growing
ton to this favored Peninsula where climate is good,
land is productive and markets close by. There is
country where better crops be produced than in this
section if proper methods used and the farmers will
not try to take everything of the ground More
tie should be raised if expect Delaware to grow and
it is the Western farmers who bringing that matter
home to During the past two 100 farmers
have moved here from the West and nearly everyone of
them proceeds at stock up with cattle and build
up his farm Every week receive of letters from
men in the North and West who land here and it

county by who is actively interested in the
future of Delaware is probably in other places and

the opportunity which open them in these re-

Johnny Dundee Has
 Very Few Knockouts
 Despite Long Career

Johnny Dundee's recent knockout victory over Tommy Tuohey was something of an event in the Italians boxing career. Although Dundee has been g topnotcher for seven or eight years during which he has fought hundreds of bouts, his list of knock outs could be tolled off on the thumb and fingers of one hand before the affair in question. Since 1911 Dun dee has stopped the following men: Ty Cobb, one round; Jack White. nine rounds; Young Drummie, two rounds; Johnny O'Leary nine rounds, Jimmy Powers, ten rounds, ana Tom my Tuohey, five rounds.
 Despit his lack of effectiveness Dundee never has been accused of stalling, and he is more of a slugger than fancy boxer. Most of his blows are of the swi" ring type and he puts all his strength behind each wa1lop he lets fly.

:-: Sporting Gossip From Many Fields :-:
Yale Resents Statement Of Edwards That Surface Of Field Was Kept Uncovered To
 Handicap Lighter Tiger Team Saturday

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 1o.---Al Sharpe put the Yale regulars through Ia scrimmage yesterday afternoon which proved scoreless but brought out good defensive strength on the part of the eleven which will face Harvard on Saturday.
 Captain Callahan did not play but
 watched the game from the side lines with Bob Lay and Jim Braden. Cal ahan was replaced by Calvin, Lay y Campbell and Braden by French. Af-er Saturdays hard work the rest was necessary. A 20-ninute sigma. drill was held, resulting in the final lection of the team for Saturday as follows:
 Ut end, Reinhardt; left tackle. Dickens; left guard, Acosta; centre,
 Callahan; right guard. Gait; righ.
 tackle, Walker; right end, Allen or Robinson; quarterback. Kerupton; left half back, Neville; right half back,
 Lay, and full back, Braden.
 The only position in doubt is that of right end. Babe Allen, the vetera n
 of Alec Wilson's 1915 team, who has played that position regularly until
 the Brown game this season, is suf-
 fering from an injured shoulder, which refuses to heal rapidly. As a result,
 Robinson, whose sensational rise to prominence from the fourth varsity occurred only two weeks ago, may start against Harvard, although AL lens greater experience may give him the place if he is in condition. The high tension at Yale has not
 been lessened by an article appearing g
 last night under the signature of Big BilP' Edwards a prominent Prince ton alumnus, which accuses the Yale coaches of purpose1y refusing to cover the playing surface of the Bowl last Saturday in order to impede Prince toms lighter team with wet playing surface.
 Such a thrust is naturally resented. MT. Edwards probably has never had the faults of the Bowls drainage sys- tenn pointed out to him. The Bowl has been soaked during the last month and especially by the rains of last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. These rains produced actual pools. and, although the sun and wind of Friday morning relieved the situation slightly, the field was in ugly condi- ton when the Princeton team arrived for it's practice session on Friday af- | ternoon.
 MT. Edwards says that the field should have ben covered with straw l The Bowl has never been covered with
 straw to absorb moisture already on the ground, but only to protect the ground from rain, snow or frost. Ii 1 the gridiron had been covered, as MT i Edwards now suggests, it is a surety 1 that the playing surface would have been in even worse condition than il actually was, because the straw would have checked the natural drying UT
 of t3le moisture by natural methods. 1 Yale was praying for a dry field i and no one was hampered more by l the slippery surface than Lay and Kempton, the Blue backs. One prom 1 inent Yale man said yesterday:
 1 'If Princeton believes Yale would
 stoop to such low-down methods it is
 high time Princeton should drop Yale
 from her schedule"

RALPH Ii0..I1|EEl
 ABLE ID BEN
 GAME: SATUc.Dny

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 19-Har- wards coaches are still unable to de- eide on their lineup for the game against Yale in the Stadium on Sat urday- There are two possibilities for shanges and these have come be- cause of the return to the fold of Ralph Horween and Jack Desmond. The former, who has been Harvard s regular full back and punter, but who has been out most of the time for the past month, was able to run through the Varsity plays yesterday afternoon in the signal drill and Desmond also put in an appearance in football clothes for the first time since the Crimson's game at Princeton z
 Ralph Horween clipped his shoul- der several weeks before the game with the Tigers, but was able to play part of that game and kicked liar wards field goal. Later he was hurt again and the coaches here, felt there was small chance that he would be available for the Yale game. Yes terday Dr. Richards announced thai Ralph Horween could play, but while he has been out his brother, Arnold has been in the backfield regularly and not for a day or two will Fisher decide finally just which of the two backs will start the game with Casey and Humphrey.
 Desmond's case is different from Ralph Horween's. The latter has been able to move about all the time since he was hurt and has been ir excellent condition generally. Al Princeton Desmond went through the entire game and was played out ab- solutely. He hurt his leg, besides and still limps badly. It is not yet assured whether he can pick up his game at end, and yesterday was not tried with the Varsity line. Having him out at all is considered a good sign, however, and a few days ot work may bring him back
