FAST RIVAL

Morgan College. which engages
the Howard University eleven in
the Howard Stadium tomorrow
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. boasts
an eleven of championship cali.
Der. and last week held the fast
Hampton, last years titleholdefs,
to a 6-6 deadlock. In Conrad,
one of the biggest backfield men
in colored collegiate football,
Morgan has a tower of strength
in it's ball toters as the work
of the entire team is built around
this, fellow.
Howard has one of the best
aggregations to represent the
school in many years but still the
power of strength shown by some
of it's opponents met her this
season is lacking. Morgan bowled
over Union. q to 0, and the same
team trampled Howard here two
weeks ago. 18 to 6.

CELT|CS CLASH
WITH MAR|ONS

Those fighting st. Mary's Gel
tics, who recently downed the
Mohawks, face a respectful op-
ponent Sunday in the Marions
at o'clock on the Gonzaga
Field.
The Marions have the best
eleven that has ever represented
that club. They are undisputed
leaders of the independent unlim-
tied division with three victories
and no setbacks.
The Celtics have such capable
players as AL McAlwee, Himmel-
berg, Frank Holland, AL Pease,
Tom Brew, Don McCann and Ed
Leary.
Ed Leary and Don McCann are
former Georgetown University
stars. Himmelberg played with
Holy Cross. Pease performed with
Maryland University.
Buck Grier, manager of the
Celtics, believes the Marions will
give his team plenty of trouble.
He says:
"My boys will have to play
heads-up football throughout
the game in order to down
those MariOns. They have a
very strong combination this
year. The Mari0ns' defense is
about the best I've seen this
season among independent
elevens. It's going to be a
tough game. That Pm certain"

YOUNGSTER
FORT|F|ES
TEAM
By GARRETT WATERS
Joe Keegin. fullback,

Formerly a star at Gonzaga
Prep. Now a full-fledged mem.
Der of Coach Chief Guyon's 1882
Eastern High School Eleven.
Not so tall. not so short, Kee-
gin, a curly-headed, wirely-built
chap, is Eastern's hope in things
pertaining to football, and particu.
larly in today's interhigh school
series grid clash with Western at
Centarl Stadium at $3.50 o'clock.
Whether he starts or whether
he finishes, it'll be Keegin who
Eastern will look in every grid
game from now on for victory.
Whether he'll be able to lead his
team to its much sought after tri-
umphs remains to be seen, but
from his past record as Gonzaga
performer, the lad will be a dan.
gerous threat.
Keegin is one of those fellows
who just loves athletics. Football
is merely one of his hobbies, but
in season he makes it his every
thing quite like he does baseball,
basketball and other sports.
Eligible Now
The youngster was not eligible
to play in Eastern's first game
in the inter-high series about two
weeks ago. This was because he
had only checked in at Eastern
at the beginning of the fall term,
and could not participate in ath-
leticS during the first advisory.
But he's eligible now and what
an addition Coach Chief Guyon
and the Lincoln Park players
feel they have corralled.
Second place was at stake
when Referee Magoffin sounded
his whistle for the opening kick
off of today's inter-high school
series clash.
Dwelling a bit on Western and
that teams chances to win,
Keegin and Eastern were due to
face a heavy, well-drilled team
in the Georgetown entry.
Western put up a whale Of a
game against Tech last week de-
spite the fact that it lost by one
touchdown.

get Reynolds, who substituted
now and then throughout the
fray. Eastern, when it played
Tech, put up equally as good a
game even though beaten. 7 to 0.

Survey Under Way With Purpose OF
Finding Means OF Combating Pest

DR.. L. A. Stearns, Entomologist,
University of Delaware, has advised
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation that the state wide mosquito
survey in Delaware as well as the
community survey at Rehoboth
Beach, have been progressing well
and that the traps have caught
thousands of mosquitoes and some
twenty-four different species are now
represented with those originating
in salt marsh areas 'predominating.
In behalf of the Eastern Shore Of
Maryland and Virginia counties the
Del-Mar-Va Association has similar
information which makes it appear
that when the project throughout
the entire Peninsula is completed on
October 1st the departments will be
well informed as to the details of
the program which they must deal
with in eliminating the mosquito
breeding areas throughout the Pc
ninsula.
In connection with the actual
mosquito control work several ex-'

been prepared and are obtainable at

TWO SUSSEX FARMERS
KILL YES
A. w. McIlVaine And w. E. Elliott
End Their Lives

Two Delaware farmers, one of
Delmar and one of Hollyville, COM
mitted suicide within "a hours of
each other, due, friends said in each
case, to dependency over inability
to make their farms pay.
The body of William E. Elliott, 81
years old, was found Monday night
in a gas-filled room at the home of
his nephew, Harold L. Smith, with
whom he had been living at Delmar.
Mr.. Smith had been spending the day
with his family at Oak Orchard.
When they returned at O'Clock,
they found the kitchen closed up
and the cracks under the doors stop
ped. Gas was flowing from several
jets and the body was lying on the
floor. Near it was this note:
Goodbye to all. l hope you will
forgive me for the act. After my
debts are paid, l want Marvin Smith
to have what there is left of my
if there is nay"
Marvin Smith is the young son of
Harold L. Smith. Mr.. Elliott had no
relatives except his nephew. He had
never married. Born in Delmar sec
ton, the some of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Wesley Elliott, he had spent his
entire life farming in this vicinity
he had been living with
his nephew for several years, he had
operated his own farm near Delmar.
He was last seen alive about p.
m. on Monday by William O'Neil,
who said he did not notice anything
unusual in the mans demeanor.
Worry over farming conditions
also led to the suicide of Alfred w.
farmer at Hollyville, last
morning. He ended his life
by shooting himself in the head, af-
Ter he had carefully removed his
false teeth and left them in the
house. He went to a small building
used as a workshop and set down
before firing the bullet into his
1arin. Mr.. McIlvaine was AZ years

COASTAL ROAD
MAY BIZ BUILT
Matter Discussed At Con-
ference Held At Nation
al Guard Camp

Building of the proposed highway
between Bethany Beach and Reho-
both to develop a large area of
southern Delaware which has been
talked of for some years may be
started in a short time. This was
learned following a conference of
State officials at the National Guard
camp.
The conference was held in the
tent of Colonel George J. Schulz,
commandant of the Delaware Ma
tional Guard, and was attended by
Governor c. Douglass Buck, Lieu
tenant Governor J. Henry Hazel, U.
S. Senator John G. Townsend, Jr.,
Congressman Robert G. Houston,
Major General Dennis E. Nolan,
commandant of the Second Corps
Area, U. S. Army, and Charles w.
Cullen, Georgetown lawyer.
The road, which will be part of
the Ocean Highway project, eventu-
ally connecting with Ocean City,
Md, will furnish a short route to
Bethany Beach from the northern
part of the State It's chief advan-
tage, it was pointed out, will be in
providing a route for trucks carry
ing produce from a large farming
area.
A small section of the highway on
the Bethany Beach side of Indian
River has already been constructed
to permit easy access to the Nation
al Guard Camp. Tentative plans for
completing the project involve con-
