"7HEN Nancy Bruff's novel.
" THE Manatee." her first
book, appeared in the stalls, she
invited her best friends for Nan
tucket supper to celebrate.
Nancy is a Nantucket native. a
direct descendant of Peter Folger.
the Islands first miller. whose son
Eleazer was shoemaker and whose
daughter Abiah married Josiah
Franklin of Boston and had Ben
jamin for a son. Nancy's book
catches up with Folgers down
a generation or SO in the golden
age when the Island had feet
of 90 whalers, when every house
boasted strange remembrances
from other lands.
The books party menu included
dishes of authentic Nantucket
favor. The recipes, like the book
facts, were taken from family
diaries, old letters. ship logs This
is the story of Jabez Folger and
the secret of his past and his pas
sion for his ship. Nancy's menu
featured the best recipes of her
family and her own secret passion
for cooking and kitchens.
A novel, she thinks, might be
written around the Folgers' baked
apples, recipe handed down from
ancestor Lucretia Mott, Quaker
preacher and first woman suffragist.
Story Apples
A STORY goes along with the
dish: One of Nancy's great
greats" the wife of whaling cap
tain, baked these apples to per-
fection, all as spicy as the Nan
tucket weather. 1t was the cap
tain's favorite dessert. When his
ship came to 4arbor and his lady
had the word, she dashed to the
cellar to pick the biggest. the wini-
est of apples. Apples. hot from the
oven greeted her captain.
But again maybe not! Some
times tales had preceded the man
of the sea regarding flirtations with
dusky bellies of coral, beaches.
When gossip beat him home, the
oven was cold. A shouting argu-
ment followed. The captain, cap
pulled low, was off to a tavern.
Days of silence reigned, then again
apples were baking.
Here's how: Place 6 cored bak-
ing apples in large oven-proof dish.
Mix " cup chopped blanched
almonds and "a cup brown sugar
and place tablespoons of mixture
in each apple. Add dash of nut
meg and of allspice to each and

GRID RECORD
Have Won Twenty-four Con-
secutive Games Without
Defeat
PLAY AWAY SATURDAY


Twenty-four consecutive football
games without a defeat is the rec
ord now held by the University of
Delaware's Blue Hen eleven. This
string of two dozen gridiron con-
tests without single setback is
believed to be unsurpassed in cur
rent collegiate ranks-and this is
the record which will be at stake
when Delaware meets Gettysburg
College at Gettysburg, Pa, this
Saturday (Oct. 19) in tne Hens
first away game of the season.
When the Blue Hens face the Bull
lets this Saturday it will be exact
~ SIX years to the day since the
University of Delaware last suffer-
ed a football defeat. That last set
back came at the hands of Ursinus
C;Icge on October 10. 1940 before
disappointed Delaware Home
ccmIrs crowd. Following that de-
feat, the Blue Hens won five con-
secutive games in 1910, registered
one tie and seven victories in 1941,
won eight clashes in 1912, and
have thus far downed three oppon-
ents in 1916. Delaware did not
play formal football during 1943,
1914 or 1945. Gettysburg, the
next team which will attempt to
put a stop to the Blue Hens un-
surpassed surge, was defeated by
Delaware 1870 in 1912.
Formidable Opponents
The Bullets, however, promise to
be an even more formidable open
ent this year, having turned back
Lehigh and Lafayette. Gettys-
burg's only defeat this season was
at the hands of Western Maryland
1876. The Hines defeated the Greer
Terrors by a 44-6 count last Fri
day. However, believing that com
