list that could be picked. and whose
pros are being steadily ''swiped' for
their ability by courses all over the
country, is glum over the prospects for
the coming season.

players of proven and star ability were

tonight how to keep 'em down.

the officers for the coming session VIII

and vari-cOlOred "thrOwers' in the
hands Of all those present pitched
aloft simultaneously during one Of
the final numbers gave a beautiful
rainbow effect.

-Four Points in Class Z

Newark high school added to the
laurels already gained in baseball
by pulling down first place in Glass
: events at the sixth annual inter-
scholastic field and track meet held
. at Delaware College on Saturday.
Jacob Tome Institute won first
place in Glass / with 36 points. A
persistent rain, a hold over from
Friday evenings storm made a
most discOuraging outlook for this
great event but the arrival Of so
many Of the entrants decided the
uncertain matter of holding the
meet on a sodden, water-soaked
field, with several inches of stand
ing water, in spots and pools of
water in the jumping pits. Officials
and spectators spent a most I'M
comfortable time as well as the par
Elephants. All protected themselves
as best they could, many seeking the
shelter Of Mechanical Hall and
viewing from the windows of that
building the indomitable spirit of
the lads who participated in the
events.
Newark won by small margin
over DUPONT. Tome Institute, by
winning the one-mile relay, secured
the silver loving cup offered for the
school winning this event three

The Battalion did well in this
emergency by keeping the crowd
back. The plane was so badly in
iured that it had to be taken apart
and shipped away for repairs.
Sergeant Sansen, members of the
Battalion, and a guard from Elk
Mills remained on duty all night
guarding the planes. The continu-
ed wet weather prevented the
wings Of the uninjured plane from
drying out. Lieutenant Ellis there
fore remained over the weekend
and was unable to make the return
