GOOD FOR team

Promise of Developing
Into Star

OUT FOR ELEVEN

Special 10 The Evening Journal.
NEWARK. Sept. 2i.-University
OF Delaware football candidates with
nearly two hours OF work every
afternoon are rounding into form
and II IS likely that Coach McAvoy
will stage a scrimmage between the
varsity and scrubs about Saturday.
Those members OF the squad who
had the advantage OF the ten days
OF preliminary training at Red Point
are especially in good shape and
ready for scrlmmage now. Most
of the others however need more
practice before they will be ready
for a hard scrimmage.
"Bruz' Lowell the Wilmington
boy who IS being used by Coach
McAvoy at quarter back on the
varsity eleven Is attracting much at
tention by his work and promises
TO develop into a star this year.
Lowell however, will have 10 hustle
to beat Johnny Schaeffer the varsity
quarter back last year out for the
position but even should Schaeffer
finally be given his old Job Lowell
would probably be given a trial az
half back. Lowell had the advant-
age OF the ten days training at Red
Pont while schaeffer did not get to
the camp until a day or so before
the squad returned to Newark.
Last year Lowell who was a Fresh
man came out at the first OF the sea-
son for football but owing TO a re-
ported disagreement with former
Coach Derby he was only on the
squad a few days. His greatest
fault is said 10 have been a lack OF
pep" but this season he Is showing
as much pep" and spirit as any
other man on the squad and his
work is being closely watched.
Coach McAvoy apparently thinks
well OF the prospects OF the Whining
ton boy from the fact that he has
kept him at quarter on the varsity
eleven during signal practice. Lowell
has much natural ability, is fairly
fast and strong. His friends pre-
diet a great season for him.
There were thirty candidates out
for practice yesterday afternoon and
a large number more are expected TO
come out after the university opens
tomorrow. Mcdonald was out in
uniform 70 the first time this sea-
son. Harry Jackson and his brother
"Sook" jackson, were again used in
the halfback positions on the scrub
eleven.
II the line material was heavier
Coach McAvoy would be better sat
isfied but what they lack in weight
the men promise TO make up in
spirit. McAvoy is already popular
with the squad and the boys are de-
termined to do their best TO make
the team a winner. The backfield
prospects are especially bright with
Captain williams at full. Harry

or Schaeffer at quarter doc" Steel,
