Notes of College Interest
University of Delaware football sea-
son will end Saturday of this week
when the Blue and Gold will play their
old rivals the Pennsylvania Military
College eleven of Chester, Pa, on
Harlan Field, Wilmington. This game
was transferred to Wilmington be-
cause of demand on the part of
large alumnus and friends of the Uni
versity that one of the home games be
played in Wilmington. With two
bands on hand and the prospects of
one if not the largest crowd that has
ever watched a Delaware team play
the day promises to be a great occa-
sion for the Blue and Gold.
The football season has been an in
and out one from the Delaware stand
point. The team started out by los
ing the first three games played to
Penn, Muhlenburg and John Hopkins
About this time Coach Derby made
some changes on the team that had a
wonderful effect and produced a win
ming combination. The next four
games with New York "Aggies," Hav-
erford, Washington and Western
Maryland and were all victories while
the eighth game with Lafayette last
Saturday was another defeat. The
team has now won four and lost four
and is anxious to capture the P. NJ. c.
contest to break ahead of the season
in number of wins. The addition of
Jackson a Freshman from Dover to
the backfield has greatly strengthened
! Delaware on offence.
] Coach Shipley is already working
with the basketball candidates al
though the intercollegiate season will
not open at Newark until after the
first of the year. A squad of about so
candidates are out for the team many
of them being Freshmen.
While the basketball schedule is not
entirely completed it will be one of the
hardest that a Delaware team has ever
undertaken. Games have been ar
ranged with both the Army and Navy
teams and also with Penn and Prince
ton, all four to be played away. Some
of the home games will be with
Swarthmore, New York "Aggies," st
Johns of Annapolis, Muhlenburg and
Washington College. The Delaware
season will open at home on January
II with Albright as opponents. The
first game will be with West Point al
West Point on January Z.
