eleven could not withstand tn
gruelling attack OF the Alumni and
had TO take the losing end Of the
final game OF the 1922 season al
Harlan Field yesterday morning
70 o.
The weather was just right for
football and they certainly made tn,
best Of it, There were many thrill,
TO keep the rooters OF both sides
on the edge throughout the entire
fifty minutes OF play. Both sides
in unison, gave Harvey Hayes the
big yell when in the third period OF
play he crossed the goal line for
the only count
Using stright football the Alumni
after working now and then a pass
or criss-cross which. at times
bafiisd the Under Graduates. got
within scoring distance. The Cherry
stop their opponents but the Grads
just piled through until the touch
down was made
The Alumni actually had only ons
practice with every member out.
and that was the night before the
game. Following each play II was
necessary 10 hold a tea party for
signals. The only word that could
be heard was the hip" the signal
for the center TO pass the plgskin.
The Alumni did not uncork their
real fireworks until after the first
half. Then Hayes and Loose started
to burn things up. Line plunge af-
ter Line plunge netted them five or
ten yards. An occasional pass added
10 their advantage.
In the first half when Hayes
kicked off the Highlets ran things
their own way. End runs, tackle
plays and center rushes brought
them in the Alumni territory. but
they were held when the Grads line
bolstsred up like a stonewall.
Then in the second canto Captain
Stout attempted a drop kick from a
forty degree angle on the thirty |
yard line, but "Old Lady Luck" was
not with him and the ball missed |
by inches. The Delaware avenue /
eleven in this game intercepted |
plenty Of forwards but they did not !
get very far when they did.
There were two players on the
Alumni who were really a thorn
against the Ashtonian team. Brit /
Donaldson and BIZ Lohman. These !
lads who are now attending Perki- /
onem, at which institution they held /
varsity berths. measured UP 10 their |
rep. Brit again reminded some OF |
the students OF his end runs which
netted the Alumni many yards.
schagrln. also OF Perkionem, got in
the game
Hayes. Moore. Loose. McCsughanl
and several others OF the old timers
showed up well Manager Moore
had a large squad out. There were
enough men TO send a different team
in at each quarter so that every
one be given a fair chance.
Lloyd Alexander again displayed
his good work in yesterdays game.
He gave his mates an opportunity
TO score when he recovered a FUN
Bile on the Grads thirty-yard line.

Joined his class by intercepting for
wards, but did not get much time
to get on for a marker.
The Wilmington High lads just
could not stop their past brothers
from advancing for that pass from
Loose TO Hayes was the commence !

march "Harv'' Hayes then exhibited |
and before they knew II the sturdy ]
back was across the sacred terri I
tory.
Captain Stout's mates did not give |
mp hope. They came back in the |
final quarter gloom settled over the
Alumni followers when Bill Bowe
and White, started TO smash the
Alumni defense. Then the bali
changed hands for the Grade
broke through after that and spilled
every man.
Yesterdays fray was the last Of
the season for the Highlets. 1t was
their eighth defeat Of the season.
Their only victory wac over New
ark High in the first game of the
season. The scoreless draw with
Chester was their closest 10 victory
after that
The Alumni game was the last for
quite a few Of the varsity members
captain Stout does not expect 10

be Lloyd Alexander. who in the last
few games showed that he was the
best end with Bardo Elem sweezy,
who on account OF an injury. was
kept out of his last game. In his
place was Mark Donohue, who also
