chief cause of Delaware's failure
to score.
As a whole the trip was valu-
able one. The team was much
benefited by the workouts obtained
in the warm Virginia climate
Coach Shipley is well pleased and
from all indications fine season

'sTHE WONDER HAT"
SCORES A BIG HIT
Unusual Histrionic Talent Dis.
played in Faculty Play

That the legitimate stage and
the silent drama has not monop-
oily on the histrionic talent of this
generation was abundantly proved
on Saturday evening when the
faculty at the Women's College
presented their annual play before
the students and a number of in
vited guests.
The medium chosen was "The
Wonder Hat" a one-act play by
Ben Hecht and Kenneth S. Good
man. The cast, according to an
artistic program designed by Miss
Florence Hubbard, styled them
selves "The Hilarions Players"
The presentation was given in the
Hilarium Theatre, an improvised
stage setting by the same scenic
artist, eliciting spontaneous out
burst Of applause from the audi
ence when the curtains were
drawn aside. A park by moon
light was realistically portrayed
A stone wall with real creeping
ivy and a benignly smiling man
in the moon (the only man pres.
ent) created much favorable com,
ment.
The excellence of the presenta
ton showed that the cast was all,

peared who would make the worl

scored a tremendous hit. Miss
Mary E. Rich as Punchinello, the
aged vendor of charms and other
things, portrayed that character
cleverly and artistically.
The character of Harlequin was
admirably interpreted by Miss M
E. Rohr, andsthat of Pierrot 10y

Delaware Drops Three
on Southern Trip
Fine Game Put Up; Scores Close;
Coach Well Satisfied

The baseball squad of twenty
men has Just returned from a
southern trip with the record OF
one victory and three defeats.
This record is not nearly as bad
as it sounds when the observer
plances over the box scores and
sees the kind of teams the nine
played and also makes a mental
note of the fine game put up by
"the chicks"
The three defeats were chiefly
due to the inability of the "chicks"
to hit the ball hurled at them by
these southern pitchers who had
made valuable use of the hot
weather in the south to bring
them in shape. Washington and
Lee, V. M. l., Maryland State and
Georgetown University were in
splendid form having played in
some instances as many as ten
games previous to our teams ar
rival.
The first game was scheduled
for Tuesday with Washington and
Lee University at Lexington,
Virginia. Rain spoiled the Tues
day game and on Wednesday the
chicks doubled up and played
a double header, the first game
with Washington and Lee and the
second with Virginia Military In.

Washington and Lee, with an

hard time defeating "the chicks
and when the game was called in
the seventh inning to allow the
Delaware team to get to the V. M

favor of the Generals" Roth
rock pitched fine ball, and had the
Delaware team hit the opposing
twirler in the pinches, he would
have turned in a splendid victory
