lVlulllCllDCIS DCACoto ASio"oA
The football team of the Universit.
of Delaware met defeat at the hand
of the Muhlenberg College eleven b!
the score of 21 to 0, on Frazer Fielt
Saturday afternoon. The game wal
a cherries one for the 1900 spectator
who witnessed the entry of.the 1922
gridiron season, and especially fol
the many who made up the. followers
of the local collegians. Void Of any
thrills, free from any display OF
brillancy, and extremely mediocre In
it's details, the game ended listlessly
and was so accepted by the crowd.
The Delaware team had difficulty
in getting started while the Mullen
berg squad jumped off with a rush
and had soon sent the first touchdown
across the goal line, by series OF
. low, fast forward passes. Delaware
was unable to stop this advance.
Demoling, the visitors left halfback,
dealt in a variety of passes which
barely cleared the heads of the Della
ware eleven, but with two exceptions,
went true into the arms of a Mullen
berg receiver. This form of attack,
coupled with Delaware's inability to
tackle, lead to the local teams defeat.
The collapse of Delaware's interter-
ence, on the offensive, prevented her
from scoring. In fact, both defensive
ly and Extensively, the Blue and Gold
failed to show form. Delaware's ends
were also weak, as the Pennsyl-
yanians seemed able to skirt them at
will for long gains. Megaw, on the
left flank, spilled the opposing inter-
ference admirably, but the secondary
defense failed consistently to drop
the runner until substantial gains
had been made. There is room for
great improvement on the right end
of the locals line. A wide end run
from criss-cross, gave Muhlenberg
a tounchdown, score 10.
While the opposing linesmen OUT
weigher the light Delawareans on an
average of 16 pounds per man, the
Blue defense in this respect was more
consistent than that of the backs.
The second score came in the Sec
ond quarter of play as result OF
the same tactics. Muhlenberg had
found her game and drove away with
an aerial attack which found little
opposition from the Delaware back
field. Schafer, Betzmer,. and Roth
rock had replaced Magee, Manning,
and Ivory. The substitution looked
like a wise one on the part of Coach
Derby. During this quarter exchanges
of punts lost ground for Delaware,
inasmuch as Demoling's kicks aver
aged Is yards more than McDonald's.
With Derby's men baffled by the op-
posing attack at every angle, Muhl-
enberg pushed her way to the three
yard line, where delaware stand,'
such as was famous In the old days
was staged for two downs. The Blue
line held, and not until the third at
tempt did Gebhart pound through
little Aiken for the second score o.
the game.
The second half was a repetition o.
the first half, insofar as tactics wal
concerned. A slight brace was notet
in the locals after the rest in the gym
and the third quarter went scoreless
In the last quarter, Jackson brough
the desperate band of Delaware root
ers to their feet with thirty-tiv
yard run. This freshman made ;
good showing throughout his stay il
the game. Aiken, Schafer and Megay
played the best game for Delaware
For Muhlenberg, Crum, Demoling am
Gebhart can be credited with goo
playing, although the entire tear
displayed more fighting qualities tha
the Blue and Gold eleven. A con
trast in team work would result i
no glory to Delaware's eleven. TIL
