PENN SWAMPS BLUE
AND GOLD ELEVEN
Delaware Outclassed on Frank
lin Field in Miserable Exhi-
bition of Football.

Philadelphia, Pa. Sept. 2es-The
University of Pennsylvania football
Warriors walked roughshod over the
University of Delaware eleven here
on Saturday afternoon before nearly
$4,000 spectators and when the ex-
element was over, the Heisman rro-
teges had amassed 50 points, equalling
the mark made by the Penn team year
before last Delaware held Penn TO
30 points in their game last season.
The contest was one of the most
miserable exhibitions ever staged on
Franklin Field and long before the
close of the game. hundreds of spec
tators left TIE grounds disgusted.
The Blue and Gold warriors had
plenty of fight and displayed IL par
ticularly in the early stages of the
game. Their exhibition on Saturday
shows that the team can stand some
more intensive training. The short
time in which Coach Derby had to
whip the team together, apparently.
was not sufficient to in any way per-
feet well-playing combination.
The Delaware players tackled or at
tempted to tackle high. This cost
them several touchdowns, for had low
tackles been made. the runners would
have been dropped. whereas with the
high tackle, the runner was able to
ward off the tackler.
Instead of trying a passing game
whenever it got the ball early in the
contest, Delaware elected to punt and
the kicks were terrible. A line plunge
in the latter part OF the game netted
Delaware eight yards. That was the
only line plunge of the game. Coach
Derby's team tried one forward pass
and it failed. The team played no Of
fensive game.
Injuries hurt Delaware Saturday.
Captain Holton started in the fracas.
but soon had to give way with his bad
knee. He went into the game later.
however, but remained only a short
time and had to be assisted from the
field. Delaware was outweighed
about 20 pounds to the man.
Magaw was the individual star for
Delaware in the early part Of the
contest, this little end breaking up
many of the Penn plays in the early
part of the game and causing the
Heisman warriors to work on the
right side of the line for their runs.
Considerable sentiment has develop
ed in favor of Delaware dropping the
Penn game from its schedule Many
of the alumni, especially have urged
that this game be dropped for several
\ years and some of them have never
approved it. The Lineup:

Stressing the argument that the
erection of the school in the vicinity
would be "prejudicial to the health
and morale of the 1000 pupils of the
Junior High School," Mr.. Thompson
added that there was strong prob
ability that a new Technical High
School will be erected on the tract in
the near future. as well as possi-
bility of a Business High School en-
| tering the neighborhood.
The tubercular pupils would get
nO( added benefit from being within
reach Of the hospital staff and equip
ment. as the school will be under the
direction of the health officer of the
public school system and it's own die
titians," said Mr.. Thompson.
Recommendation were made by
Mr.. Cameron that the National Tu-
bercuiosis Association be appealed
to to make an investigation as to
the advisability of having the hos
pital in the neighborhood.
Some Only Slightly Affected.
Mr.. Henderson declared that many
of the children who would attend
the school are only slightly affected
with the disease, and in fairness to
them they should not be allowed to
come in contact with the more or less
hopeless cases
The association voted to lay on the
table the petition of the j. Maury

tcIt to the Commissioners against
