DR.. Carlson said he was convin-
ced of the values of intercollegiate
athletics to health, sportsmanship,
and loyalties. From an educational
standpoint, he added, footballs
chief worth is in it's creation of sit
uations and emergencies which
test and make courage and char
acter.
The University of Delaware, the
president said, can look for athletic
leadership from its athletic staff
headed by William d. Murray, but
that the staff has the faculty fully
behind it.
The Athletic Council, with repre-
sentatives of faculty, administra-
ton, alumni and coaching staff, and
the trustee committee on health,
physical education and athletics,
ARE no complacent stooges-both
consist of representatives of real
strength and character" he said

UNIVERSITY NOTES

The University of Delaware's
athletic staff, faculty, administra-
ton and trustees all share in pro-
viding football and other sports
with their proper role in the edu-
Cational program, DR.. William S.
Carlson, president of the University,
told members of the Touchdown
Club yesterday (Monday) at their
luncheon meeting in the Hob Tea
Room.
Football ought not to interfere
with the educational program of
the students, but should be regar-
ded as part of the whole pro-
gram, DR.. Carlson declared. "At the
University of Delaware" he SAID,
football is part of the larger ed
ucational pattern. The administra-
ton and faculty are all for it."

Methodist parsonage in Potomac,
was destroyed by fire on Saturday
night. Due to the snow drifted
highways, the firemen were de-
layed in getting to the fire and

abandon attempts to save the
dwelling and they directed their
energies toward saving nearby
homes.

lives next door, and who has been
physically disabled for a number
of years, was carried from her
home to her daughters car for
safety. Mrs. Susie Harper who
has been living with her sister,
Mrs. Atwood, was likewise remov-
ed. Both elderly ladies watched the
burning house and seemed none
the worse for their experience
when they were once more. back in
their home.
