NEWARK, Oct. Coach Shipley OF
the Delaware College football team has
expressed himself as we'll satisfied with
the showing made by his team against
Franklin and Marshall last Saturday:
Shipley adds. however, that his squad
will be in much better shape for the
game with Penn on Franklin Field next
Saturday. In discussing saturdays
game Coach Shipley said:
Il consider under the circumstances
that my boys made a good showing
against F. and NJ. There were naturally
a number Of defects in the play that
this game brought out and ] will work
this week TO strengthen those weak
points. lt must be remembered that
we were up against a team OF expert
enced players who had been well
coached by BY Dickson. The weather
was against a snappy game il being too
hot for the players to work up much
pep"
"The defense work OF Delaware was
excellent. The Offense did not have the
punch that / hope to develop but this
can be brought Ground by hard WORK
and more experience. My players came
out Of the game in good shape ply
sically except for some minor injuries.
70 proved an excellent preliminary con-
test 10 the Penn game. My team Will
be much stronger by this game as II
gave men the opportunity TO see right
where we are weakest We Will be
much stronger when we meet Penn. l
am. not making any boasts but ! expect
TO see my team surprise many or the
wise ones on Saturday. The boys are
on edge for the game and we will show
a defense that unless / am greatly mis-
taken will cause Penn's backs some
trouble to penetrate consistently"
Coach Shipley took a unique method
OF demonstrating TO his men their weak
points I'm Saturdays game during prac-
ice yesterday afternoon. He selected
two elevens from the men who did not
get IN tho game Saturday. lie had these
teams scrlmmage and with the varsity
men looking on pulled OF the exact
plays where the weak points developed.
He then Instructed his men just how to
avoid such mistakes in the future.
The varsity men were only worked
enough yesterday 10 timber them up
but hard practice Will be resumed this
afternoon and there VIII probably be
scrimmages tomorrow and Thursday.
All the injured players including
Harner and PLAN are coming around In
good shape and VIII be In fine shape

able to learn, not a single enemy OF the
new school law in Milford has ever
asked 20 see the budget, has ever tried
TO find out where the money Is going,
has ever attempted 10 assure himsen
II the tales he heard or the tales he re-
peated had any truth in them.
Figured on a percentage basis, the
budget shows that OF all the money TO
be spent this year on Milford schools,
the teachers are TO get s20,5OO, or 6i.Os
per cent. OF II. The superlntendents
salary will be only $500. Yet In the
face OF these facts, easily within the
reach OF all, the enemies OF the schOol
law arc telling that the new schol law
taxes the people in order TO pay fancy
salaries 10 a few people while the
teachers are not benefited I'm the least.
In speaking Of the Increase Of the
superiniendents salary from $1,000 to
si.sOO. William Abbott, clerk OF the
Milford school board under the old law,
said: 1--WE increased his salary $500,
but the increase I'm salary doesn't be-
gin 10 correspond with the increase In
his work. Last year the superintendent
was not responsible for any OF the
business details OF the white school,
and he had nothing at all to DO win

the day, and I kept office at my home

market and hire a bookkeeper and

times 500 year. Now all that work
has been transferred TO Superintendent
Shilling. and am glad TO get rid OF IT.
I'VE gave him the 500 / had been

white school. do not regard his IN
crease as very much, considering the
enormous amount OF extra work he
must do under the new law
Under the new law, Superintendent
Shilling is TO have complete educa-
tional supervision Of the while and

is TO look after the physical condition
