Third Baseman Horner. who in mis-

been handled by other players. This
accounts for four of the runs secured
by the visitors.
To Harry Harkins, manager of the

a wonderful and most entertaining
banquet after the game, in the Hotel

hearty appreciation.

HOPKINS PREPARES
! FOR DELAWARE GAME
MaryIanders Being Drilled Hard
for Saturday Contest; Team
is Light.

Baltimore, Md, Oct. 6s--out at
Homewood. Coaches Van Orman and
ORourke are driving the Hopkins
football squad hard I'm preparation for
the battle with Delaware on Saturday.
The mentors are far from pleased
with the close call their charges had
in the. game with Mount st. Mary's
and are bending every effort toward
spots revealed in the play Of the
Black and Blue against the boys from
Emmitsburg.
The defensive playing Of the team
as whole. while not up TO the stan
dard of the 1920 eleven, was not near
~ sc bad as the-attack. Westerman,
the big tackle, who first fondled the
pigskin at Poly, showed that he has
the making of a valuable man. He
fought like a tiger and used mis- reach
and weight TO advantage until he in
iured his shoulder and had to be re-
moved from the game.
The Black and Blue mentors have
been handicapped by lack of heavy
and experienced men and the showing
linade by the team Saturday was about
all that could have been expected
under the circumstances. With few
more weeks of practice on perfecting
a better offense. particularly the in
reference, the eleven should be ready
to give Swarthmore, st. Johns and
Washington and Lee the battles OF
their lives TO earn decision.

Totterdale will be able to play in the
game with Delaware.
In Council, former guard at City
College, the coaches have a hefty
candidate for a job in the line. For
