NEWARK, Dec. University Of
Delaware varsity football squad is
making arrangements to witness the
show at The Playhouse, Wilmington,
on Monday night as the guests of
the management Of that popular
theatre. There will be twenty-one
In the football party from here in
Guiding Coaches Derby and Shipley
and Manager Roemer OF the team.
The eighteen players who were in
the most quarters during the season
will compose the squad Of players
and this will take in practically all
Of the varsity men. The show will
be McIntire and Heath's Red
Pepper"
1t is understood that this will be
known as Delaware" night at the
Playhouse and many members Of the
Wilmington Chapter of the Alumni
Association will also attend The
football players greatly appreciate
the invitation extended by the man
agement to witness the show and are
planning to make it an eventful occa-
sion, with plenty OF university yells
and songs.
Members OF the football squad are
anxiously awaiting the awarding Of
the letters for this sport by the Ath-
letic Council. This win probably be
done at meeting Of the Council on
Tuesday night, December IL. The
letters are awarded by the Council
on recommendation OF the coach.
Immediately after the DIS" are
awarded the letter men will get to-
gether and elect a captain for 1922.
Jack" Williams fullback who miss
ed by a part OF a quarter all season
/ having played in more quarters than
any other member of the squad
seems the most likely candidate for
/ this honor. Williams is one of the
few men on the squad who will be
a senior next year and as it has been
custom to elect a senior captain that
is also in his favor. Williams is a
| graduate OF the Newark high school.
He attracted attention his first year
in the university by his playing on
his class team and won his letter
last year and this season on the var
sity. He is a member OF the Sigma
M fraternity.
The football schedule for next year
is nearly completed and promises to
be one of the best Delaware has ever
had. One matter that has been de-
termined Is that there will not be a
game in 1922 either with Penn OF
Lafayette. For the past several
years Delaware has been meeting
Penn in the opening game of the
season and this has not proven to be
satisfactory While the Delaware
boys received excellent treatment a.
Easton this season and put up q
strong game II is realized that Della.
ware, especially at this time, is MOI
in Lafayette's class in football.
There will be no preliminary
training away from Newark mex
season that plan not having worked
out well The University will oper
on September 2S and the opening
game Of the season will be with
Muhlenburg at Easton on Saturday
October 7, Delaware being under
contract to play a return game with
Muhlenburg in 1922.
1t has been decided to play al
next season but the exact date ha.
not been set. Delaware's opponen
for this game will likely be Dickin.

Field on Armistice Day which fall
on Saturday next year. In addition
to these three games there will b,

c. and Stevens will be back on tn,
