DELAWARE WINS AGAIN
Defeats Marylanders on Frazer
Field
Crowds Witness Games

The football team of the University
of Delaware triumphed over Wash
ington Colleges eleven by the humili-
ating score of 47-0, on Frazer Field,
last Saturday In game replete with
exciting plays on the part OF Della
ware, the local team rolled up score
which they could have easily increased
by thirty points had Coach Derby let
his warriors loose against the Ches-
tertown lads. For the Delaware team,
Jack Williams featured with line
plunging and intercepting forward
passes. Williams was responsible for
the final touchdown when he nabbed
Washington pass and ran thirty-tive
yards for the score.
Delaware used her entire second
string substitutes during the second
and third quarters Of the game. Even
with the scrubs in the game, the local
goal-line was never in danger. The
second string continued the march
started by the big "Yellowjacket'
varsity. During these periods, "Doc"
Steele, the local half-back, starred,
tearing loose for a forty yard run
for a touchdown, and repeated few
minutes later, only to be called back
for a penalty on Delaware. For
Washington, Rourke played the best
game. Upon this man the bulk OF
the visitors tackling fell. Twice this
man was knocked out during the
third period. But he was up and
fighting again. His playing seemed
largely responsible for the holding OF
Delaware when she was held.
The real feature of Saturdays
game, the thrill of thrills was brought
to Delaware's followers, when the
varsity took the field again in the
fourth quarter. Derby had removed
his first string men at the end of the
first period. Of course this was the
thing to do. But it's been long time
since a Delaware coach could afford
to do such thing. That's what was
responsible for the thrill that came
later. To know that the best team int
the University could rest while the
Reserves played, and then trot out or
the field to administer the final blow
of superior squad, produced the
shiver along many a spine. This one
act, above the brilliant playing of
Jackson, the improved passing of
Rothrock, or the stone wall defense of
Delaware's line, meant more to the
crowd.
The team showed to good advantage
before about 800 school boys from
Wilmington High School, who came
here in auto trucks as the guests of
the athletic council. The cheering of
the local contingent was nightly in
creased by these deep throated
huskies.
Numerous penalties were imposed
during the game, the local eleven be-
ing the main offenders. However, ,
none of them were for a serious viola
ton, but resulted from the eagerness
of the Blue and Gold to score. The
first touchdown came as result of
straight football. During the final
period, the team had instructions to
attempt the aerial game, and in this
department, great improvement was
noted. !
The next opponent for the Blue and
Gold team will be the Western Mary
and team on Frazer Field, Saturday
afternoon.

the widow of Charles Johnson, and
long resident of Kenosha, died Sun

at the latter's death she had gone to
the Carmelite home where she had
spent her reclining years.
She is survived by three children,
Frank Johnson of Kenosha, Mrs w.
Bradley of Chicago and Joseph John
son of Chicago. Definite arrangements
for the funeral services have not yet
been made but they will probably be
held Wednesday morning at the St.
James Church with interment follow
ing in the family plot in the st. James

that the guillotine still is used in
Germany for the. infliction of the

KenOshan's Kin
Killed in Germany
Kenoshans Mother and Two Sisters
Are Killed in Triple Tragedy
in Obermessing.

Word has been received in Kenosha
of the murder Of Mrs. Waburge Karin
men, aged about seventy-five years, and
her daughter Katherine, the mother
and sister of Mrs, Simon Krebs, ST.,
431 Middle street, Kenosha, at their
home in the city of Obermessing, Ger
many. The news was brought to Ke-
nosha in a letter to Mrs. Barbara
Hummel, 572 North Chicago street,
from her brother, who lives in this
same city, in Germany. Mrs. Krebs
has not yet received any official news
Of the tragedy and refuses to believe
that it can be true.
The details of the tragedy are not
told. 1t is intimated that it happened
late in February and that the murder
was committed by the husband of the
younger woman. There appears to
have been a quarrel about some money
which had sent to the aged mother
from her daughters in this country
and the women were shot as result
Of this. The reports also say that a
second daughter-in-law died from the
shock of the tragedy and that her
husband was shot and seriously but
not fatally injured. All of the prin-
cipals in the tragedy had lived in Ger
many all of their lives and were
known in Kenosha only to their rela-
tives.
Sister Siegfrieda, nun at the st.
Francis seminary is also a daughter
and sister of the murdered women.
She was informed on Saturday of the
tragedy The letter telling Of the
tragedy was received in Kenosha last
Tuesday but was not made public UNI
til Saturday afternoon. The news OF 1t
reached this paper too late for pub

To Investigate Need
for New Subway
Council to Get Report on Proposed
Subway under Northwestern Tracks
Leading to Farm.

Committee of the common council
went out on Saturday to make an in
vestigation of proposed plans for
opening crossings across the North
western railway west of Balm avenue.
The committee considered crossings
at Balm avenue, Marion avenue and
Norman avenue and an early report
demanding action on the part of the
Railroad Commission will be sent to
the council. The members of the
committee were convinced that the
only solution of the matter is to build
"a subway under the tracks at one of
the three streets named. The North
western company has bitterly contest
ed efforts to get such subway con-
structed. Sixteen tracks must be tax
en- into consideration in eliminating
the danger.

Kenosha's population on January J.,
1921, was 3,7O0, an increase of over

Visited Her Home.

"The way of the ftrespasser' is hard,'
said Constable Scholey, following a
raid upon an alleged moonshiner at
1910 Garden street yesterday after
noon. The crusading constable had
been tipped off that illicit distilling
had been going on in that place and

Detective Rock stayed outside of the
home and allowed Scholey and Moore
to go in. An entrance was effected to
the house through the rear door and
Scholey armed with "John Doe" raid
warrant was met by woman armed
with a dust pan. That the pen is
mightier than the sword is debatable
question, but everything is in favor of
the dustpan when it comes up against
a raid warrant Constable Scholey
stated this morning that the lady of
the house welded a wicked dustpan"
and that he and Moore after cursory
search abandoned the home.
Neighbor Wasn't Backward.
One of the neighbors living at 1O14
was in the home at 1910 when Scholey
first made his entrance to that place.
The neighbor wasn't bit backward
in her remarks and stated that she
would like to see an officer enter her
home. This nettled the constable and
he asked where she lived. She stated
that she lived at 1914. The constable
pulled out paper, another "John Doe
raid warrant for her very home, and
stated that she could come along to
her home and that formal visit would
be paid there.
Rock Was in Kitchen.
On the way to her home the lady
kept up a running fire of talk and was
denunciatory in her remarks concern
ing officers in general. I'D like to see

she opened the back door. whats

Argentina Has Had
Bumper Cotton Crop
(By Associated Press

Buenos Aires-The cotton industry
in northern Argentina has quadrupled
in Importance in three years as re-
suit of aid given to the farmers by
the state railways. In 1888 approx
imately 10000 acres were planted while
the 1920-21 crop embraces an area of
about $4,000 acres. The crop yield is
from 1900 to 1900 pounds per acre, ac-
cording to statistics published by the
railroads, one-third of which is fiber
and the rest seed. A gin and cotton
seed mill have been constructed to
take care of the crop. The great prob
lem of the Argentine cotton farmer is
lack of labor for picking the crop. At
tempts have been made to use machin-
cry for this, but these have been re-
ported as being only partially sue
cessful.
