one redeeming feature of the game
from a Delaware standpoint, was the
large number OF supporters the Blue
and Gold had on Franklin Field. 10 Is
estimated that at least 5000 Delawareans
witnessed The game and cheered for
Delaware whenever there was an op-
portuniiy. Nearly the entire student
body and several hundred alumni were
present IN the cheering section OF the
south side stands Although small In

vas something that brought out many q
favorable comments, even from fol- r.
lowers Of Penn. Their tackling at y
times was brilliant. They tackled low G
and hard most Of the time. Coach ].
Shipley gave practically every man on
the squad a chance during the game, p
and they all displayed the same game L
spirit. This gameness was commented q
on by Line Coach C. NJ. Wharton, OF r.
Penn. following the game. Coach n

home being in DoYer. has offered to
come TO Delaware and point out the r
teams weak points as he saw them, in N
case his advice is desired He made the \
offer to a representative OF The Eve L

team and because he is personally in j.
leresied in Delaware. II
Delaware fumbled badly at times. b
but this was no doubt due TO stage b
fright and the fact that Penn PLAYERS p
Sere down on them like a shot as soon ID

work and interference was almost per- n
