DELAWARESQUAD
RETURNS HOME
Will Finish Preliminary
Training for Penn Game
on Frazer Field
CAPTAIN HELTON
ON INJURED LIST

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Sept 19-University of
Delaware football squad unexpect-
edly returned from College Park,
Nd, late Saturday evening. accom-
panied by Coaches Derby and Ship
ley. The squad was put through 10
days of hard preliminary training
under the directions of Derby, the
new coach. 1t had been expected
that they would remain at College
Park until about Wednesday but all
the conditions were not entirely sat
isfactory and consequently it was de-
cided best to come home and finish
the training on Frazer Field.
Another reason for the change is
the fact that several on the squad
have examinations to take early this
week and they would have had to
return anyway. Coach Derby had
the squad out at 10 O'Clock this
morning for a workout on Frazer
Field and they will be taken out for
practice again this afternoon. The
coaches only have five more days
to get the team in shape for the
opening game with Penn in Phila-
delphia next Saturday.
Coach Derby has driven the squad
unusually hard for the beginning Of
the season but this is probably due
to the fact that he realized hard
preliminary would be necessary to
get a team ready for Penn in two
weeks. Derby insists on strict dis
cipline to all.rules that he sets down
at all times. The men, however, are
pleased with the new coach, not
withstanding the fact of the hard
work that he has put them through
as they realize that he is doing Il
to get them in good physical shape
and is not playing any favorites.
Injuries and the fact II is still un.
certain as to whether or not some
