DELAWARE FOOTBALL
Seasons Outlook for Interest
ing Sport

Coach Derby, the new coach of the
University of Delaware football
squad, had both good and bad luck
yesterday. Luck, however, seems to
have no effect on Delaware's new
football leader judging from his ac-
tions since returning for practice on
Frazer Field after 10 days prelimin-
ary work at College Park, Md.
at is all part Of the game" said
Coach Derby in speaking about luck.
"Of course" he said, "there is such
thing as luck but in most instances
the player makes his own luck. Give
me the man who is ready and willing
to get in there and work hard at all
times, use some football sense and
keep driving and / will be willing to
give the other fellow all Of the So
called luck"
The new coach is trying to impress
on the football candidates the idea
that they cannot be successful in the
game unless they are willing to get
out and work hard in practice, there
by not only learning the funda-
mentals themselves but at the same
time inspiring other members Of the
team to also work hard.
The hard luck that struck Coach
Derby yesterday was the fact that an
examination of "Doc" Steel, local
boy, showed that he fractured one or
two ribs in practice on Monday.
'Doc" is a son of DR.. Walter H. Steel,
local physician and for number OF
wears a member of the Athletic Coun-
ell of the University. While the frac-
lures are not especially severe they
will nevertheless no doubt keep young
Steel out of the Penn game on Sat-
urday. Last year Steel showed flashes
of brilliant work and much was ex-
pected from him this year. He nc
doubt will yet be a valuable asset to
the team following the Penn game.
