New Years day will find another great team from the south = Tu- lane of New Orleans--trying to keep that record clean in a game with Southern California. It Is a Tulane team whose record for the season is without the flaw of a tie score. It has rolled up 338 points against 35 for it's opponents.
 Two Good Boys
 The Pacific coast will see on New Years at least two All.American players in the Tulane lineup Haifback Don Zimmerman and End Gerald Dalrymple. But there are others on the team of near- plays the other end. He caught six forward passes in the game agains' Washington State that resulted in a 2s to IA victory for the Green Wave.
 In the Tulane backfield directing the attack is Red Dawson, Wiscon- sin boy who was chosen All-South- ern by several of the experts. Papa" Nollie Felts, "Wop" Glover and Francis Payne are there to lug the leather when Zimmerman isn't passing, kicking or running with 1t.
 Guards Scaf1de, Schneider and Mccormick form one of the best mid-line combinations in the coun- try. At tackles are Bankston. Deco ligny and Upton. with Lodrigues at center.
 line Must Hold
 Much will depend upon the line Rs. xx.a VA hA fFv.nfoV n Coach Bernie Herman has a few spinners and laterals in his reper- toire. but most of Tulanes gains are from tackle to tackle, mixed up with a passing attack that is ef- fectiyely deception with Thinner man doing most of the passing.
 Like Howard Jones, coach of the Trojans, Herman bases his system upon power. There are very few trick plays, perhaps one or two for tight spots. But power and speed are the main points in the Tulane attack, with Zimmerman's great passing furnishing deception.
 Rating both teams off their games with Washington State, the two elevens that play in the Rose Bowl are about evenly matched. Southern California beat the Cou- gars 38 to 6. Tulane won its game. 28 to IA.
 The Trojans have lost but one game, the seasons opener to St Mary's IS to 2. Jones men have beaten Oregon, oregon State, washington State. California, Stan- ford, Montana, Notre Dame and Washington, about as formidable a group of opponents as could be found.
 Tulane had has two intersection. al games. The Green Wave beat the Texas Aggies 2 to o and Wash ington State, 28 to 14. All of It's other games have been with south ern teams.
 o Evenly Matched It is hard to pick 8 winner be- tween two teams where speed, power and deception seems to be 50 well matched. Offhand, with the memory of Notre Dame's de- moralization at the hands of the intrepid Trojans. this correspond ent would cast vote on Southern California. That's pretty fair fo0fball team, too.

To-Day's Sport
 P "a d e
By HENRY McLEMoRE

By HENRY McLiEMORE (United Press Stan Correspondent) New York, Dec 14-(UP)-Last year when the Army eleven had finished whipping the Navy. the cadet corps snapped stifrIy to att tention and without so much as a sheer or a jeer for their defeated rivals, marched off the field and into the night.
 Saturday, as soon as the Army eleven had finished whipping the Navy, the cadet corps vaulted out of their seats, galloped across the field to a position directly in front of the Navy cheering section, and gave the midshipmen what is va- riously known as the bird, the Bronx cheer, and the old razz- berry.>
 Heads barred, the cadets droned Goodnight Navy" This was fol- lowed by an ear-splitting cheer, after which the West Pointers gasped back into a state of deep gloom while the Army band sound- ed taps"
 This thoroughly human touch, which harks back to the days when Army and Navy were the best of friends and got together without benefit of government or. charity, would seem to indicate that once again all is well between the serv- ice schools and that 1892 will ind them officially scheduled.
 Things that put you to sleep de- partment:
 Stepping from the ring he land ed in front of Mayor James J. Walker, he walked right up to the dapper New York chief executive and said, Hello, MT Mayor, how are you? I'm Kingileyinsky.' And then he grabbed Mayor Jimmy's Madison Square Garden publicity on Friday nights bout between King Levlinslsy and Tommy Lough- ran).
 That fact that was there and saw the King jump out of the ring on the opposite side from the mayor, makes 1t no less worse, as Gene Tunney would never think of saying.
 Shortly after the 1881 baseball season opened Babe Ruth, laid up with an injured leg, entertained c few (there must have been Q hum dred there) sports writer's. During the course of the afternoon the big man bemoaned the passing of the sacrifice fly rule.
 "Why that dawn rule will chop 1J points off the batting averages of long, high hitters like me. The man who thought it up oughta be shot and then hung"
 The American league averages released to-day reveal that Ruth hit a lovely .373, just exactly IA points better than he did in 1880 when the ruling was not in effect. The New York boxing commis- sion, along with "Who Killed Cock Robin?" and How high is up?'' will always remain one of flies sweetest mysteries. A little while back the commission suspended Benny Leonard for his fiasco with Pal Silvers, in which "Oh, what Q Par' took the count after a blow on the elbow. Now the august body has rein stated the one-time lightweight cham pion, who will show his wares again late this month. And his name will draw 'em in.

and satisfied Mrs. Donnelly that
she was to be returned safely to
her home.
Mrs. Donnelly said she and
Blair were released some distance
frem where they were found by
police. She said they walked about
a mile before the police found
them.
The member of the kidnap
gang that called Chief of Police
Lewis Seigfried informed him that
the women would be found in
front of a filling station at
Eighteenth and Kansas Avenues
in Kansas City, Kan.
A squad of picked men armed
with riot guns was rushed to the
designated spot but failed to
find Mrs. Donnelly there.
Former U. S. Senator James A
Reed, attorney for the Donnelly
family. who hurried here from
jefferson City yesterday to nego-
tiate with the kidnapers, promis
ing that the $4,000 ransom
would be paid, would mot say
today whether the money was
paid to the kidnap gang.
Former Senator Reed said:
"I'd like to see this thing
crowned with a hanging"
Should the kidnapers be cap
tured, it was believed that Reed
would revert to his old role of
prosecutor in bringing the gang
to justice.
In telling of her release, Mrs.
Donnelly said:
Last night they told me they
had made q mistake in kidnap-
ing a woman and that they
were going to release me.
"They put blindfOld on me
and another on Blair and drove
us to some remote spot, near
where we were found by the
police"
Mrs. Donnelly said she put
up quite a fight" when kid
naped.
"They had Blair in the front
seat, pressing a revolver into
his side, and 1 was in the
back seat. struggled and
kicked so that the men in the
front seat had to help my kid
naper in holding me.
81 kicked and screamed in
an effort to attract passing
motorists, but nobody heard
me. They then gagged me. 1t
was a cut on my mouth from
the gag that caused that blood
to be found in the car"
Blair received the same treat
ment from the kidnapers that
she received, Mrs. .Donnelly said.
He was tied hand and foot,
blindfolded, and held captive in
the same room with her.

HOLD UNIQUE CANDLE
LIGHT SERVICE HERE
Presbyterian Minister Writes In
preSsivc Service. ..~ 3"

Something very different from the
usual Easter Sunday evening pro-
gram was held at the Presbyterian
Church this year. At fOur-thirty
in the afternoon, just as dusk came
stealing, beautiful candle-light
service, called THE Light Eternal,
was performed. So far as we know,
it was the first of its kind ever to
be introduced in Delaware, and it
was very much enjoyed by a large
congregation. The production was
written and directed by the pastor,
Rev. A. M. Eells, and only women
and girls participated. The only
light in the Church as the minister
said the opening prayer and explain
ed the program was large white
candle which represented Christ,
burning on a table before a golden
cross. Around in the church win
dOws were fourteen unlighted can
dies. The first half of the service
was preceded by two solos, one by
Mrs. Fred Breme called walk In
the Light, and one by Mrs. Clyde
A. Nelson called "The Lord is My
Light"
At this point Mrs. W.. S. Vinyard
took control of the meeting as the
Spirit of the Church. Dressed III
flowing, light blue robe she read
short biography of each of Christ's
disciples and then asked one of the
seven young vestals of the church to
light the candle representing that
disciple. The seven vcstals we're:
Maxine Grove, Eleanor Bunstein,
Mary Vinyard, Sara Austin, Jennie
Lee WOotten, Mildred Burlingame
and Alice Breme.

sand Send Forth the Light" Then
the Spirit of the Church read short
biographies of fourteen post ApoS-
tolic heroes and some of the smaller
girls Of the church took candles and,
marching by the window, lit them
from the candles already burning.
They then marched up the middle
aisle and stood in line before the
congregation as quartet sang "The
Light of the World is Jesus" The
girls were: Gladys Burlingamc,
Edith Hudson. Dorothy Joseph, Jean
Richardson, Grace Sharp, Isabelle
Hunt, Margaret Hammond, Betty
Corbet, Blanche Ryan, Minerva
Burns, Mary Jane Davis and Georgia
Govatos.
While the girls still held their can
dies everyone arose and the dene- |
diction was pronounced.

ton. with Bishop NJ. Simpson presid-
ing, and the Rev S. L. Gracey as
secretary.
The conference is divided into
four districts, now known as the
Wilmington, Middletown, Dover and
Salisbury district%~hut for several
years had a fifth district, the Virgin
gia district, of which the Rev. A. d.
Davis was presiding elder. This dis
trict was merged with the Salisbury
district in 1889, with the Rev. r. O..
Ayers as presiding elder.
The Rev. William Chandler, Il
minister and physician, in 1898, was
appointed presiding elder over the
entire Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, which
was then known as the Chesapeake
district. He gave his first ALTAR

Methodist Church. This was at Piv-
OF Bridge in 1893.
In 1917 the Rev. Henry Boehm was
named presiding elder of the Chesa-
peake district, and in 1919 the name
was changed to the Delaware dis
trict. The work was continued un-
der the jurisdiction of the Philadel-
phia Conference until the Whining
