met this season. In winning the
game Friday, they maintained a
clean slate for the seasons games.
The team was much larger than
the squad that made the trip
from high school. 1t played :. tricky
brand of football, mixing up for
ward passes with a cross buck that
fooled both line and backfield time
and again.
In winning the game. Glassboro
made IL first downs, while the
Maroon was making three. Pleas

Evening.

Whether the annual Swarthmore
Chautauqua will return to this city
for another year will be decided
tonight, when efforts are made to
secure list of guarantors as the
last of the three days of entertain
ment is held in the auditorium of
the Pleasantville high school.
Guarantors, at meeting last
night, decided they wanted Chau-
tauqua again. because of the type
of entertainment which such pro-
grams bring. They feel that citi-
zens of the city and Mainland
should get behind the Chautauqua,
and make it a success here.
Walter r. Thoms, prominent
florist and Kiwanian, who is pres
ident of the Guarantcrs committee,
presided over the meeting last
night. The committee will make
efforts to have IS prominent men
and women of the city act as guar
antOrS this year.
The programs have been excel
lent this year at all the entertain
ments, officers of the Chautauqua
declare. But for Chautauqua's
methods of organization, entertain
ments of as similar nature would
cost much more than they do.

will be the Chautauqua attraction
in the High School auditorium to-
night. The program includes The
best standard and many original
tricks, introducing fast sketches in
