largest crowd that has ever attended
a football game on Frazer Field. the
University OF Delaware on Saturday
defeated their old rivals. Hsvertord,
2s to Z.
Il was a brilliant battle and one
that kept the large csowd on edge
every minute OF the time. Both
teams at times used a successful
aerial attack but Delaware succeed
ed in breaking up this offensive OF
the visitors in tho last half.
The game was about as hard
fought as any contest ever played on
Frazer Field but was free OF dirty
| playing. Delaware suffered three
casualties, Cherpak. Mcdonald and
Akin all going out with injuries that
will probably keep them out OF
practice for several days, but Il is
thought they will bo In shape for
Saturdays game with washington
College. CherpRk. the tow-headed
Quarterback. spent Saturday night
and yesterday in the university in
| frmsry with a badly bruised hip.
Mcdonald also has a bruised hip,
while Akin Is injured in several
places.
Haverford men also suffered in
juries but none serious. Dave
Relnhardt, a con OF former Attorney
General David ]. Reinhardt, OF Will
mington. played guard for the Wis
itors and put up a good game.
The student body showed more
pep" than at any previous time this
season and this helped 10 put life in
the game. The college band was out
and between the halves tho students
snaked dance over the field and also
pulled soms original stunts. The
student cheering was unusually good
all during the game. Haverford
brought about $50 students with
them and they also kept things lively
with their cheers. The Delaware
students were on the north side and
Haverford the south side OF the field.
There was a large gathering OF
slumrus back and the old grads"
compiimented Coach McAvoy for the
victory and for the excellent work OF
the team under his direction. The
game demonstrated that Coach Nc
Avoy has inspired more fight in the
squad than any Delaware football
team has shown FOR years.
Delaware had an edge on Haver-
ford at every stage OF the game and
scored one touchdown IN each per-
iod. The Main line boys bothered the
Blue and Gold considerable the first
half with the forward pass, several
being completed for long gains. but
Captain williams and his men sue
ceedsd in breaking thisup in the final
half. Brown, the visitors captain
and fullback. played a brilliant
game He not only was clever
throwing the forward pass. but also
went through Deiaware's line for an
s-yard plunge and a touchdown in
the second period, something that
no other back has been able 70 DO
against Delaware this season.
II there were any individual stars
on the Delaware team they we're
Captain williams and Price, right
end. As a matter OF fact every
PLAYER on the team did well and de-
serves much credit. Mcdonald |
bucked the line hard and punted |
well in the first half. He did not |
play the second half. when Elliott !
did the punting and also did a good /
fob OF Il. Steel and Weggenni ann, 1
two scrub backield men. had an
opportunity in the second half, re-
placing Cherpak and Mcdonald. 1t
was the first time that Weggenmann /

n few minutes IN home game and
he aid good work making several
gains BY piunges through the line.
steel. while handioapped with
weak ankle, did fair work.
Delaware's'l line was again stone
wall on defense. Goffigon. the crack
left tackle, played with a sore back,
bpt this did not seem 20 bother the
uon-hearted Blue and Gold tackle
Several times he broke through and
threw Haverford backs for substan-
tIal losses. Magaw IS another play
or who distinguished himself. He
not only played a whale OF a game
at end, but in the last quarter re-
covered a Harverford tumble ana
ran 10 yards for a touchdown.
Delaware opened up an aerial at
.aok in the last half when williams
ana price worked several long sue
cessful forwards. Prioe made two
brilliant catches Of forwards thrown

ed in touchdowns.
Delaware kicked off and held Hav-
erford who had TO kick. The first
time they got the ball the Blue and
cold team demonstrated its strength
by taking the pigskin from Haver-
ford's 2O-yard line clear down the
field for touchdown. Short

down. with the ball on Haver-
ford's 1o-yard line Cherpak faxed TO
PASS the ball to two Of the backs
and then shot through Haverford's
left tackle for a touchdown. McDon-
aid drop kicked the goal.
In the second quarter Captain

play of the game when he broke
through tackle and ran 60 yards for
a touchdown. The great interference
given by Price made this run posi-
Bile. Price fought off two Haverford !
men who otherwise would have
downed williams before he reached
the goal. Mcdonald missed the goal

a touchdown. Cherpak after catch
