sons for this Concl,,e;o.

Local Alumni of Old Delaware
and other loyal supporters of the
Blue and Gold are speculatino
upon the outcome of the football
game with Penn which will be
prayed on Franklin Field next
saturday and which will mark the
formal opening of the season.
| Walter F. Dunn in SUNDAYS
Public Ledger gives a Keen an
alysis of the makeup and the
prospects of the team, which is in
part as follows:
There are three reasons whv
Delaware College will be a worthy
opponent for the University of
pennsylvania in football at
FRANKLIN Field next Saturday. The
flrst of these rests in the fact that
Burton Shipley, former athlete of
Maryland State College, who is
again coaching the Gold and Blue.
knows the Heisman system. Sec
ondly the Delaware collegians,
after spending several days in
late summer training at Rehoboth
Beach, are in first-class physical
condition. For another reason
these hardy athletes are determin-
ed to hold the Quakers to a small
er score than that rolled against
them last year by Bert Bells
powerful machine. The big line
which has been getting due men
tlon around Franklin Field has no
terror for the young men who
keep the grass down here at
Frazer Field.
The strange point of a recent
visit to Coach Shipley,s camp was
that no mention was made by any
one in the party concerning what
was expected of the Delaware
eleven in the coming opening
match with the Red and Blue.
Every member of the squad
larger in numbers than PENIS at
the same time-gave impression
that the knew football as it should
be played in the advanced stages.
1t was truly surprising to note the
manner in which those youngsters
went about a system of training.
While Shipley, in a style much to
be admired, supervised the opera
tions of the varsity, G. E. Han
cock, former Nebraskan end, |
directed the functions of the sec
ond team.
"Hancock's manner of handling
his men meets with the same ap-
proval as that of Chief Shipley,
whose personality is just right for
an institution that is coming to
the front as rapidly as Delaware"
Holton Classed With Stars
Concerning Walter Holton, an
other local lad, Dunn says:
Although Repp and HoIton are
not of sufficient weight to classify |
them with major college tackles
their spirit of playing warrants
mention at this time. Holton will
doubtless have good year as tao
kle. He is taking the place of Bay
ard ("Bess") Carter, one of Lei
aware's recent all-around athletes
who is now in England for the
purpose of enrolling at Oxford on
a Rhoades scholarship. Gray Car
ter, his brother, works out occa-
sionally with the squad, but will
not play this year. Baseball and
basket ball hold his attention.
Leamy, who prepared at West |
Philadelphia High, is a candidate |
for a tackle position, likewise
Murray.
Among the line aspirants is
Lilly, aother product of WSst
Philadelphia High. He is fighting
it out with Marconetti and Aiken
for a guard position. Lynch is
also in the running"
A squad of % men will likely
be taken to Philadelphia for the
big game on Saturday.
The next game will be against
Urs nus on Frazer Field. The rest
of the seasons schedule follows:
October 9, George Washington
College at Washington; October
16, St. Johns College at Newark;

Newark; October 80, no. game;
November 6, Stevens College at
Hoboken; November 13, Swarth-
more College at Swarthmore; No
