BLUE AND GOLD TEAM
BACK At NEWARK
Coach Derby's Stalwarts Shap-
Ing Up for Saturday Game
With U. of Penn.

Newark. Sept. 1s.--University OF
pcctedly returned from College
Park. Nd. late Saturday evening, ac-
companied by Coaches Derby and
Shipley. The squad was put through
10 days Of hard preliminary training
under the directions of Derby. the neN
coach. 1t had been expected that they
would remain at College Park until
about Wedne sday but all the con-
ditions were not entirely satisfactory
and consequently it was decided best
to come home and finish the training
on Frazer Field.
Another reason for the change is
examinations TO take early this week
and they would have had to return
anyway. Coach Derby had the squad
cut at 10 o'clock this morning for a
workout on Frazer Field and they will
he taken out for practice again this
afternoon. The coaches only have
five moro days TO get the team in
shape for the opening game with
Penn in Philadelphia next Saturday.
Coach Derby has driven the squad
unusually hard for the beginning of
the season but this is probably due TO
the fact that he realized hard pre-
liminary work would be necessary 10
get team ready for Penn in two
weeks. Derby insists on strict disci-
plin. and obedience to all rules that he
acts down at all times. The men
however, are greatly pleased with
the new coach notwithstanding he
fact OF the hard work that he has put
them through as they realize that he
Is doing IL to get them in good physi-
cal shape and is not playing any
IA vorites.
Injuries, and the fact 1t is still un-
last years varsity men will return
to Delaware or enter some oher col
lcge has handicapped Derby's work to
considerable extent. Harmer and
Mcdonald, backfield varsity men and
Retzmer end are the three men whose
intentions as to what college they Will
enter seems to be uncertain. Harmer
and Mcdonald were not at College
Park with the squad. Betzmer was
there for a few days and then left as
the result of a controversy.
Coach Derby, however, is going
ahead with the material in hand and
viii do the best possible under the cir
cumstances. The squad, during the
last few days of the stay at College
Park, had some scrimma geeworlS with
the big University OF Maryland team
and the George Washington Univers-
ity. there being three squads prac-
tcing there at one time.
Captain Dick" Holton has an in
3ured ankle which may keen him out
OF the opening game with Penn. His
ankle was hurt the first of the week
and he has been unable TO practice
with the squad since. An x-ray OF
the injury will be taken this week tc
determine whether or not any bone
is broken or whether il is only q
srrain. Repp. Elliott, and Mckelvey
a new man from Kennett Square, ar,
also on the injured list but should bt
alright again in 4 few days.
