sire to say that my relations with the
student body and the Athletic Council
have been very cordial. Both have
given me loyal support.
My reasons for resigning have moth
ing whatever TO do with money mat
ters but there have been differences
with several members Of the college
faculty which have not been adjusted
TO my satisfaction and l have con-
cluded that the best thing for me TO
do under the circumstances is to re-
sign. This | have done by notifying
Dean Smith, president Of the Athletic
Council and l will 90 TO Stevens IN
September
Coach Shipley will go to Stevens as
assistant coach Of all sports but Will
have entire charge Of the basketball

Delaware in January, 1919 and had
charge OF all sports but the training
OF the track squad was turned over
largely to Track Coach LelatO. since
coming to Delaware he has coached
two basket ball, two baseball and one
football team.
His success in basketball and base
ball has attracted wide attention IN
college circles. He turned out What
many believe to have been the best
basketball and baseball teams that
have ever represented the college. Ihe
Delaware basketball team last win
ter was thought by many VINO
watched the team all season to be
The emal OF anv in the country
While Delaware lost to u. Of p. by a
narrow margin on the latter's floor,
| the Old Blue and Gold supporters
contended that Shipley had the best
team and could defeat Penn either on
| Delaware or a neutral floor. The
team last winter defeated such flves

! teams. The 1919 basketball team also
made a wonderful record under the
direction Of Shipley.

college ever had and one Of the feats
Of the season was the defeating OF
] IU. Of p on Franklin Field. This
] feat was repeated this year and these
! two occasions are probably the only
times a Delaware team ever won from
Penn. To Coach Shipley is due The
credit Of developing Joe" ROthrOcl

college ranks and he has developed

season coaching football. While from
| the standpoint Of victories and de-
| feats the season was not a success
there were many handicaps against
/ him. He naturally has his own style

squad had played under three differ
