NEWARK. Del. April 1S.-Dela-
ware College track and baseball
teams returned home yesterday
after a disastrous trip, when victor
les are considered. last week. The
track team lost two meets TO Uni
versity Of Virginia and Navy while
the baseball club dropped all four
games played on the trip to Buck
nell. IS to s; Penn State, 7 TO i;
. University OF Pittsburgh. to 1. and
Carnegie Tech" to 2.
While the track team lost its two
meets the trip demonstrated the fact
that Coach LeCato has developed
some excellent material and that
Delaware has an excellent chance TO
capture the middle-States champion
ship meet to be held at Johns Hop
kins next week when such colleges
as Rutgers. Lafayette. Lehigh.
Johns Hopkins. Swarthmore, Hav-
erford, New York University, Stow
ems and others will compete.
The Virginia meet was lost 81 TO
AZ points. It was shown that Del
aware has just as good material in
many events as Virginia but was
handicapped by not having as much
material. Virginia with a student
body OF 1000 to select from natural
~ has more material. In this meet
each team captured seven first places
but Virginia run It's score up by
taking most OF the second and third
places.
Delaware men IN this meet es-
tablished four new Delaware records
and tied one other. Pittman won
the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds fiat
thereby equaling the Delaware Col
lege record held Jointly by Hayes
Wilson and G. o. Smith. He also
won the 22O yard dash and repeated
his performance al the Navy on Sat
urday winning both the 100 and 22O
yard dashes.
Fred Harmer also won two events
at Virginia taking the $50 yard dash
in 2.O2 IS which is a new Delaware
record and also won the go yard
low hurdles.
Booth won the one mile run In
434 which is a new record for a
Delaware athlete and Betzmer es'
tablished a new Delaware record FOL
the shot put which he won by q
heave Of fraction over 80 feet. Nc
Donner won the pole vault Virgins
- looked on as having one OF th'
. strongest II not the strongest tracl
team in the south. There is ever,
reason TO believe that Delaware
, could have won two more events a
Virginia in case 1t would have giver
the Blue and Gold the meet. Thes'
were the quarter and two mile.
Harmer In the quarter and Bootl
in the two mile could probably havl
turned the trick but when the event
were run there was no doubt abou
the result OF the meet and Coacl
LeCato decided he preferred to saw
the two men for the Navy meet oi
Saturday and did not start them.
II was a three-cornered meet a
the Navy on Saturday Johns Hop
-kins also being entered. The Nav
scored so points, Delaware SO an
Hopkins but 4. AS stated. Pittmai
'again won the 100 and 22O var
dashes over slow track. Harme
took the quarter mile in fine forr
while Betzmer again came to IN
front winning the javelin with
throw OF 167 feet y inches whic
is another new Delaware RECORD
Betzmer also got second In the dis
Gus and second I'm the shot put. III
performance in both meets was eN
cellent-
Booth, Delaware's crack long dis
lance runner, was defeated in the on
mile run by Curtis OF the Navy WHIT
. however, Booth forced to make IN
time In 4.30 on a very slow tract
Curtis also won the half mile. II
is recognized as one OF the best Ion
distance men in the country and wa
VI on least years Olympic.
