DRILLS SQUAD
in TACKLING
Coach Derby Points Out to
Players Mistakes Made
in Penn Game
McDONALD-BETZMER
NOW OUT FOR TEAM

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Sept 27 - Impressing
on every member OF the squad that
II is impossible to make a football
player out OF man who cannot
tackle properly or catch punts,
Coach Derby OF the University OF
Delaware football team drilled the
men in those two fundamentals for
a long time yesterday afternoon.
Fumbling and poor tackling were
the most glaring weak points dis
played by Delaware in the game
against Penn on Saturday.
Coach Derby realizes that Il will
be necessary to correct those weak
points before it will ever be possible
TO develop a winner and he is de-
termined to make every man on the
team a sure catcher OF punts and
sure tackler. Before practice was
started yesterday afternoon Coach
Derby gave a talk OF about half an
hour to the entire squad, pointing out
The faults and mistakes OF saiur-
days game and explaining how
they could be corrected.
on Saturday when there was no ex-
cuso in the world for such a thing.
In tackiing the men seemed 10 be
under the impression that when
once they had struck tho opponent
carrying the ball their work was
done. Coach Derby impressed on
them that what they want TO do Is
to hang onto the man until they
know ne Is down. Dozens OF times
Penn PLAYERS running with the ball
would keep going for many yards
after being hit by a Delaware
tackler but before being down.
"The Penn game has proven 10
me that you have the pluck and
arht. so correct some OF these
faults and we will have a team, y"
Coach Derby told the squad. When
YOU tackle a man I want you TO hold
on until you know that he is down.
Never let 60 until he is down" For
an hour the men were drilled In
tackline the dummy They realize
the Importance Of the advice and
made every effort TO carry out the
coach's instructions.
Practically every player on the
squad was out yesterday with sew
erai new candidates Captain Hol-
ton, Cole and Repp, who are on
the Injured list. all took part In the
practice. Steel. who was also in
iured in the Penn game. was not
In uniform but will be out in a few
days.
Both Bctzmer and Mcdonald,
crack end and halfback Of last
years team, have re-entered the
university and we're out for prac-
tice yesterday afternoon. These
two men should strengthen the team
considerably. II had been reported
that they would enter Johns Hop
kins this year. Clifford Smith, who
played on the Wilmington High two
years ago. was also out yesterday
for the first time.
