Coach Derby Has Whipped To-

Special Correspondence Every Evening
Newark. Oct 1s.-rnlyersity Of
Delaware football team after going
bad all season won many admirers
and supporters by the game played
against the New York Agricultural
College eleven on Frazer Field last
Saturday. IL was not the fact es-
pecially that Delaware won 40 TO
that pleased friends OF the team. What
was especially pleasing was the fact
that the team as \ whole showed more
fight and more of N-general team un-
derstanding as what tho team had In
mind to do relative to/plays than IN
any previous game this season.
At this point II might be explained
that the New York "ARgies" was the
only team that Delaware has met this
season that the so-called scouts or
scout has not as special emisary
from Delaware seen that team In ac-
ton against some other eleven.
The scout system in the larger col
leges where there are an abundance
of coaches TO go over what the scouts
report back to them as 10 the plays
of their prospective opponents may be
alright. Even under such perfect
conditions, however, the system has
been declared a failure and has been
discarded by some OF the best coll
lege football teams In the country.
As to Delaware the scout Idea has
failed OF It's purpose. II has resulted
to date this season in the wa sting OF
much time each week. that Il has
been tried TO the detriment OF the
team.
Members OF the football squad have
shown In many ways on the field that
they are getting nothing beneficial
from the so-called scout plan. with
the exception OF last week the squat
has apparently wasted two or thre,
afternoons a week trying 10 NEE
some mythical attack. The players
have made a Joke TO a large exten
out OF the matter evidently becaus
they realized they were not belnl
benefited by IL.
The idea of the plan is for tn
scrubs to take the plays given L
them by the scout supposing 10 rep
resent the plays OF the next opponent
and try them against the varsity
Yesterday the scrubs were given play
