PETROLLE WILL MEET
DE MARCO IN ST. PAUL

ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 3-Cuddy De
Marco. of New York, who recently
fought Billy Petrolle to a draw in a
six round fight in Brooklyn has been
signed for return match with Pc
trolle in the st. Paul Auditorium
January IL, Jerk Doran announced
Saturday night. This time the fight
ers will go ten rounds, unless one
of them can find way to shorten
the assignment.
De Marco comes with Il remarkable
record against the best lightweights
and junior lightweights in the
country. He is fighter of great
promise who takes the match with
Petrolle for no other reason than
because he thinks he can win. He is
convinced that he was entitled to the
decision in the earlier fight, saying
that the judges were inclined to call
it, draw only becasue it was fol
only six rounds and therefore incon.
elusive.

Chicago, Jan. 3.--tR)-Now that
those who select all-American teams
have been heard from, it is found
that Herbert Joesting, the sixteen
inch Shell" of the Minnesota back
field, and Bernie Shively, one of the
mainstays Of the Illinois line, are
the only Big Ten players to get a
unanimous call for places on the
team that never plays a game. Joest-
ing ut fullback and Shivelys at one OF
the guards were chosen by each and
every prominent critic. Benny Fried
man of Michigan and Hess Of Ohio
State missed the first team on only
one or two. Baker and Johnson, OF
Northwestern, and OOsterbaan Of
Michigan were liked by many foot
oail wisemen, and were honored with
places on the mythical first team.
Boeringer of Notre Dame, was also
unanimous choice for center.
The boys who snap the ball into
play share popularity with the back
field stars when it comes down TO
voting q new captain for the football
team. Bob Reitsch, of Illinois and
Ken Rouse Of Chicago, playing CEN
!. ter for their teams were voted into
leadership of the 1927 eleyens by
their team mates this fall. Inc
tackles usually are represented on
the captaincy list, and the players at
the ends are honored frequently, rev
guards, bulwarks Of the line, seldom
get the call to>1ead the team, 1oot-
ball history shows.
In 1925 three great centers were
CAPTAINS. Bob Brown Of Michigan led
his team to a championship; Tim
Lowry Of Northwestern received the
trophy as the most valuable player,
and Griffen Of Iowa, the largest man
plavinr the position in the Big Ten,
inspired his fellows to victories over
Illinois and Ohio State.

One of the five banquets for the
promotion of Dickinson College
Summer Trai-' ag School, which are
scheduled to held throughout the
Wilmington Inference, took place
at Salevan's Itaurant, on last Mon
day evening. be place was filled to
capacity. ] I. Rodger Albright,
dean of Dickinson College School of
Religious Education, was present,
and, as the principal speaker of the
evening, talked Interestingly of the
Leadership Training of Today and
Tomorrow" laying particular stress
upon the work that is being done in
the Wilmington Conference. He stat
ed that in this conference one out of
every four have had instruction in
training schools, whereas through
out the rest of the United States the
average is only one out of ten. Rev.

BOXING BOUTS ATTRACT
CROWDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT
New Arena Has Been Erected Along
du POnt Road

At the boxing bouts held in Mil
ford on Wednesday night of last
week, the wind-up bout was between
Vic Malin of Wilmington and Joey
Davis of Philadelphia. The fight was
all Malin's, although Davis gave q
great exhibition of skill. MaAn rush
ed Davis from the start, but Davis
was always coming back for more.
In the second round of the bout,
Malin with mighty punch sent
Davis sprawling out of the ring to
the earth. He fell on his head, but
after a few rubs of his neck, he
jumped back into the ring and con-
tinued to fight. In the semi-wind-up
Jack Ruskil of Baltimore bowed to
Eddie Conner of. Leiperville, Pa.
Conner is a favorite of Milford fans
and always shows class in his bouts.
The next fight appeared to be
frame-up between Gig Rooney OF
Leiperville and Billy Cannon, of
Wilmington. These boys didn't
please the customers, as they ap-
peared to be fighting, but were ap-
parently only giving each other love
taps. Referee Levy warned the
fighters in the first round to fight or
quit, and when they pursued the
same tactics in the second stanza,
Referee Levy stopped the fight and
ordered the men from the ring.
This action of the referee met with
the approval of the spectators, who
had paid their cash to see action.
Kid Gernhart of Harrington and
Battling Burgis of Harrington put up
a great battle that pleased the
crowd, with Gernhart being on the
long end. Kid Dunn of Milford
fought a three-round bout with
Clarence Bough of Milford. Dunn
had the best of the argument. Dunn
substituted for Theodore Bell of
Milford, who just before the fight,
received the news that his mother
had died and refused to go on with
his end of the battle. Music for the
affair was furnished by the Har-
rington Band. The exhibition was
moved this week to the Silver Lake
Arena, behind Haven Lake filling
station at the intersection of the Mil
ford-Harrington boulevard and the
State highway.

JAPANESE BEETLES
ARE NOW ON The Wing
Kill Them Whenever You See
Them Warns U. S. Govern.
ment Official.

The flying season" of the Jap
anese beetle, those vicious little
imported bugs that have a wonder
full appetite for all varieties of
green growing things, not to men
ton Paris green and score of
other poisons which do not seem to
bother them, has been on for
several days.
The beetles, according to officials
of the Government Beetle Inspect
ion office in Wilmington, has a fly
ing season, just the same as avi-
ators, and mosquitoes. And just
now, it is said, they are at the per-
iod of the year when they put their
wings to use. In fact, the first day
for flying of these pests, that the
government is spending millions to
destroy, was June Is.
New Castle county is known to
be infested by beetles, but to what
extent is not known. Reports are
week, and by July l the real war by
the score or more of inspectors who
will then be in service, will be on.
Persons who find beetles in their
gardens are urged to destroy them.
That doesn't mean that they should
attempt to feed them with spray
poisons, for the government Off
Gals say that nothing has been
found yet that will kill them except
a stamp of the foot.
And then be sure, said an official,
that they are on hard ground or
surface.
The beetle is a little brownish
bug that resembles a rose bug, ex-
cept that it is darker. 1t can be
distinguished by wings that are
shorter than those of the rose bug,
and five white spots on either side
of it's back, and two white spots on
its tail.
And so far as its appetite is con-
cerned, the Jap" specimen can eat
rings around any rose bug.

GEORGETOWN MAN KILLED
BY MILFORD AUTOMOBILE
L. A. Pepper Dies After Being Struck
By wilkins Car

Levin A. Pepper, aged 78 years,
of Georgetown, retired merchant,
died early Wednesday morning
from injuries received when hit by
an automobile on the Georgetown
Laurel highway about an hour ear
lier. The automobile that struck
the aged man was driven by Paul
Wilkins, of Milford, aged about 21
years. Coroner Gordy is investigat-
ing the accident and it is likely that
Wilkins will be exonerated.
Mr.. Pepper, with Douglas Lofland
and Edward Locates, of George
town, had been to Salisbury, Md,
and were returning home when the
accident happened about 1 o'clock.
About five miles from Georgetown
the party had tire trouble. They
had stopped the car along the road
to make repairs when they noticed
wilkins car coming towards them
from the direction of Laurel.
Mr.. Pepper stepped into the road
in an effort to stop the car to get
assistance. wilkins was running
at a fairly fast rate of speed. He
suspected a hold up and thinking
the man in the road would jump to
safety, did not slaken his speed.
The car knocked Mr.. Pepper down
on the concrete road. His skull
was fractured and both legs and
one arm broken. He was taken to
the Beebe Hospital at Lewes but
died shortly before reaching that
town.
wilkins stopped after his car hit
Mr.. Pepper. Highway Officers
Shockley and Purnell were on the
scene shortly afterwards and after
questioning wilkins allowed him to
continue to his home in Milford.
Mr.. Pepper was formerly a mer-
chant in Milton but retired about
year ago and moved to George
town. He was a bachelor.

Several Sussex Schools Were
Under Discussion. Considering
Action On Same.
HAVE CLOSING POWER
Under The Law The Board Has
Power To Close When Less
Than IL Attend.

The State Board of Education
spent almost all last Friday hearing
delegations who are opposed to
schools in various parts of the State
being closed. At the close of the
session it was announced that the
board had decided to keep open
some of the schools for another
year, had ordered others closed and
were still considering the remain
der.
Under the law the school board
has the authority to close any
school in the State where the atten-
dance falls below twelve. The GUS
tom is to notify the people in these
districts that the attendance has
fallen to such a point that it is no
longer advisable to continue the
school and then give them hearing
on the subject.
One of the schools under dis
cussion was the Mt. Airy School at
Centreville, in New Castle county.
This was ordered closed and the
pupils transferred to the DUPONT
school. There was delegation
present to protest against closing
State Road school and after hearing
the delegation the members of the
board reached the conclusion that
it would be advisable to keep the
school open. The same action was
taken on a school near Hartley.
About five small schools in various
parts of Sussex county were order
ed closed.
1t was also contended by the
school authorities that the attend
ance at some of the schools had so
fallen that the number teachers
employed was unnecessary. A dele
cation and school authorities from
Oak Hill School in New Castle
county, agreed to reduce the num-
ber of teachers from two to one
and the Cheswold school authorizes
agreed to reduce the number Oh
teachers from four to three.
Other subjects which were mar
ked for consideration were the new
school building program and tne
distribution of State moneys among
the schools of the State, but SO
much time was taken in hearing tne
delegations that action on these

the motorists or tourists point of
view, and a very severe storm last
ed during the greater part of Sun
day, highway motor traffic on the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula from for
