Special Correspondence Every Evening
Newark. Oct. 25.--If morale as many
football experts contend is one-half of
the battle. the University of De,awareI
football team Is i'm excellent shape and
should win at least three OF the re-.
naming four games on the schedule.
There has probably been no Uni
yegsity o Delaware football team
wehin the last few years that has
been better equipped as TO morale than
the team that Coach Derby has gotten
stoecthcr at this time as his varsity
eleven. The disturhers have been
ovsted from the squad and every man
on the team now is working for the
advancement of the whole team. This
result Of the many troubles and COM
plants of the last few weeks is in
itself "A boost for Coach Derby who
has worked hard 60 develop a VIM
ning eleven against great odds.
Coach Derby put the varsity squad
through only a light practice yester-
day afternoon. realizing the fact that
thr game against Haverford on Sat
urday should entitle the men 20 at
least a short rest considering the fact
that the original eleven that started
the game played Il out 90 the finish
Tho Coach was SO well pleased with
the work OF the eleven men that he
started that he allowed them 10 fin-
ieh the game Il being enc of the few
ct ntests OF Delaware that only eleven
men were used throughout.

day ls ene uf the very few that Del
aware has ever scored against HaVer-
