BY HAROLD KAHL

Marquette and Villanova were
supposed 10 be the strongest OPP
ponents of the University of De-
troit's remaining football schedule,
but today you can add Manhattan
College, coming here next Satur-
day afternoon.

football picture when 1t skidded
Villanova into the also-ran class
with a 9-6 victory in New York
Friday night after bowling to Du-
quesne, 26-7, and Boston College,
26-13. the two previous weeks.
The victory was just as big an
upset as Detroits defeat at the
hands of University of Arkansas
by the same margin. David Scar
borough's field goal with less than
five seconds to 90 took care of
Detroit. while a safety, touchdown
and extra point sealed Villanova's
downfall.
Villanova. previously had beaten

Ahead" Signal

In the last issue of the Chronicle
it was announced that a committee
of the younger members of the
Carlisle Fire Company of this city,
comprising Garrett L. Grier, chair

there is no supply of water or where
the supply is inadequate.
Following a meeting at the fire.

told the committee to go ahead, and
as one member stated, "shoot the
works." The committee is already
plans for a series of
dinner dances which will be held
during the winter months, and a

COSSACK CHORUS WELL
{ RECEIVED AT DOVER
General PIatOff Group Lived Up To
All Expectations

Eagerly anticipated, the General
Platoff Don Cossack Choir lived up
to all expectations In its program
given Friday evening in the Capitol
Theatre, Dover. Nicholas .Kostru-
koff. director, has trained his singers
to fine perfection.
Thrilling volumes Of tone, expert
blending and balance Of fine voices,
variety in number and extraordi-
nary vocal effects as of an organ
or stringed instruments, made the
singing memorable. For some lis
teners the most beautiful numbers
were the religious compositions of
the first part of the program, espe-
ciaily the magnificent Credo by
Gretchaninoff. Others may have pre-
ferfed the folk songs, "The Red
Sarafan" or familiar Black Eyes"
which have the haunting quality Of
the songs Of old Russia OF the. days
before the Soviet
However, It was apparent that
those present at the concert re-
sponded with all but cheers, to the
dramatic Cossack War Song and to
"LesginkaY of the wild rhythms. In
the number, the much awaited
sword dance was introduced to add
to the excitement of the number.
