Delaware .Fumbles e.

Delaware's golden opportunity to
score came at the opening of the sec
ond half Muhlenburg received the
kickoff and had the ball deep in Della
ware territory before she was forced
TO punt.
Then Elliott and Jackson, who were
Delaware's best offensive men opened
up. Elliott broke loose and raced 40
yards. Harry Jackson added another
10, followed by 20 more by Elliott.
This placed the ball on Muhlenburg's
l0yard line. and it looked like Della
ware could not be stopped. But
Lowell fumbled and lost Delaware her
touchdown. After this Delaware
fought losing battle.
The muddy grounds made the ball
hard To hold. Delaware especially was
unfortunate in her fumbles, which
proved costly.
The Delaware line was still uncer-
tain. At times they We're unpene-
trable, while again they offered but
little trouble for the Muhlenburg for
wards. In the matter of first downs
Muhlenburg had the advantage in
every quarter except the third in
which Delaware registered four to her
opponents one. In all, Muhlenburg

Captain Williams, the much herald

Along with Akin and McKelvie he was

Agricultural Review
Shows Normal
Harvest Prospects

Mixed sentiment in agricultural cir
cles generally throughout the country
is indicated in the monthly review of
the agricultural situation issued by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture today. In the range coun-
try cattle raisers are fairly optimis-
tic, and stock men are reported to be
paying off some old debts this fall.
Range shortage in the Southwest is
serious in some regions. Alfalfa
prices are higher and the number of
sheep is increasing.
Cotton is beginning to move to mar
ket and growers who have a crop find
prices the most encouraging in three
years. The main difficulty has been
the crop failure; the Eastern belt has
been badly hit by the boil weevil, and
the territory west of the Mississippi
has had the worst drought in many
years.
In the corn belt sentiment is mixed.
Present prices of corn are discourage
ing, but some farmers say they can
make money this year in hogs. There
is a tendency to take on considerable
feeder stock. Wheat growers have

Newark Impressive in Defeat

The following excerpt from the
Every Evening of Wilmington should
bring encouragement to the followers
of the local football aggregation. The
article appeared in the Monday issue
and follows:
"The Wilmington High School foot
ball team officially opened their 1922
season Saturday by defeating the
Newark High squad by the score of
1870. 1t was a hard fought game
throughout and was no cinch for the
Cherry and White.
"Quite a few of the wise ones were
of the opinion that the first game
was set up Perhaps it was, but
the down-Staters were the ones who
made the locals set up and notice a
few things.
"Joe' Wilson made good was the
consensus of opinion afte rthe game.
Nearly all the spectators Landed the
Newarkers' team for the fine efforts
andplaying. The down-Staters' shift
play and forward passing had the
Cherry and White on their toes
throughout the game. Newark looks
good to cop the championship for
schools outside Of Wilmington again
this season.

been discouraged by low prices, and
the crop has come into market rather
rapidly because of necessity for rails
ing cash. Sentiment on the winter
wheat acreage is not yet certain.
Farmers in many localities in the
East are pessimistic over the low
prices of their crops. The markets
are almost glutted with potatoes, APP
pies and cabbage. Milk prices are
low and there is considerable sur
plus. Feed is fairly cheap, however,
and dairymen are paying fairly good
prices for fall cows.
The general outlook is for normal
to heavy harvest of all staple crops
except cotton, which has suffered from
adverse weather and insect ravages.
The trend of average prices re-
ceived at the farm by producers up
to September was generally down.
ward. Live stock, as class, declined
somewhat more than crops. Farm
products as whole were selling at
IL per cent above the prewar average
during the month Of August.
Movement of grain to market is
fairly heavy, but has been somewhat
impeded by lack of cars in certain Sec
lions. Heavy quantities of butter and
cheese have moved into storage, but
storage stocks of meat are abnormal
ly low. The movement of hogs and
cattle to market was much heavier in
August of this year than last Ex-
ports Of wheat and cotton, on the
other hand, were much lighter in Au-
gust than in the same month last
year.
