CLASS RUSH Won
BY SOPHOMORES
Freshmen Kidnapped Early
in Day Got Back During
Fight
DELAWARE MEETS
MUHLENBURG TODAY
speeIal . The EvenIng J0urnal.

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Oct. From foot
ball standpoint this is the most i'm
portant day OF the year TO local
gridiron fans as the University OF
Dc aware plays the FIRST game Of the
sea on on the home grounds against
Mu.henburg while Newark High also
opens its season with a game in Will
mington against Wilmington High.
The university game will start at
o'clock on Frazer Field. Coach
Derby has worked hard with the
squad this week and predicts that
his team will make a good showipe
against the big MuhlenbUrg team.
Frazer Field Is in better shape than
ever before. Ropes have been
stretched to keep the crowds back
from the field. The definite lineup
will probably not be known until
just before the game starts owing to
so many crippies on the team.
The first smoker OF the season was
held at Old College last night to get
up some pep" for today's contest.
there was a large number OF alumni
on hand and the speakers all pre-
dicted that the Blue and Gold under
Coach Derby would prove a winner.
There were speeches by Captain
Holton and several OF the players.
The sophomore's were declared
the winners in the annual class rush
against the freshmen on Frazer Field
yesterday afternoon although the
rush was far from satisfactory. Many
OF the spectators thought the first
year boys should have gotten the de-
cision. The freshmen were lined up
on the running track on the south
side OF the field and the sophomore s
on the north side. The two classes
met in the centre OF the field whore
the rush started. The idea was for
each class to drag as many oppoents
as possible 10 his side OF the field.
When a contestant was dragged over
to the running track that particular
student was then declared out OF
the rush.
At the end Of the irst period the
judges declared Il a tie. Teams were
then selected from each class and
the rush repeated with the result
that the second year boys were de-
clared the winners. Yesterday
morning the sophomores kidnapped
a number OF freshmen and took
them TO cabin in the woods some
distance from Newark where they
were locked in. The freshies, how
eve- managed to get back TO Frazer

all wrong or the Philly fans have
whole lot OF unexplainable
confidence. Here's the article:
PHILADELPHIA - Members
OF Connie Mack's team have
been forced to put up with all
sorts OF abuse all season. but
the climax came this afternoon.
All through the game, after the
second inning fans kept shout
ing Were you TO New York
Connie? What's the idea OF
the laydown? Why make the
Yankees go out on the feld?"
All through the contest some of
the local "sportsmen" kept yell
ing all sorts OF harsh things at
and against the home players.
In the second inning, after
Dykes n ad fumbled Pipp's
grounder, some Of the grand
stand patrons shouted. How
much is in II for you Jimmy?
Guess you won't have TO work
all this winter" This sort of
stuff was continued all through
the inning.
When the Athletics went back
to their bench a few fans near
the dugout became vituperative
against Dykes. So Tilly Walker
took up his fight and wanted to
go into the stand and have It
d1t with the "sportsmen."
Hard TO figure anyone razzing the
Athletics for Saying down. It's
natural for them to play the way
they did.
