Over 125 poultrymen from all
sections of Delaware attended the
annual Broiler Field Day held at
Georgetown Wednesday, June 18,
and showed keen interest in the
1947 entries in the Delaware
Chicken of Tomorrow Contest
which were on display during the

Newcastle Disease Study
Forty different equal areas,
known as segments, have been Sc
lected covering six different coun-
ties in the hear of the Delmarva
broiler section for the study of
Newcastle Disease.
Every farm in every segment is
being visited and history of the
present flock is being taken to-
gether with mortality losses in
previous focks. Blood samples are
taken and are sent to the Bureau
of Animal Industry in Washing
ton where serum naturalization
tests are run for the detection of
Newcastle antibodies.
1t is hoped to learn these three
things about the disease in
cidence of the disease in the Del
marva area, the losses from the

tween Newcastle disease and other
associated diseases.

Trouncing Of Western

although Coach Dick Mentzer isn't

Mentzer, who came to Eastern
from q Hollidaysburg CPa) high

game as 1t comes with the idea in
mind that the better team that
particular day will win.
Central and Tech Win.
Central and Tech also are very
much IN the Z running, each having
chalked up its second series win
yesterday. The Vikings handed
Coolidge its second loss, 1870, at
Central and Tech trounced Wilson,

BROOKLYN, Oct. 4.-The day
after the World Series ends Leo
Durocher goes back on the re-
serve list of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, but there were indica-
tions today that his rehiring as
Dodger manager was uncertain.
Branch hickey, president of the
Dodgers, when asked what he
was going to do about his $40 1000
a-year suspended manager, said:
Il don't know"
Friends of Hickey said he feels
he is not free to negotiate with
Durocher unless Commissioner A.
B. Chandler publicly welcomes
him back to baseball. The COM
missioner apparently intends no
public welcome. At the most he
may make public his correspond
ence restoring Durocher to the
reserve list.
There is a report that the
Dodgers voted Durocher cut
in the World Series winnings. II
this is the case the commissioner
will veto it, those who know him

Gambino, AZ Failure
Terps' No. | Man in
Licking Delaware
BY George Huber

For a 2O2-pounder, Lu Gambino
has an amazing lot Of speed. He's
the Baltimore boy who wasn't
enough of football player to suit
Coach Clark Shaughnessy at the
University of Maryland last year,
but things are different under the
Jim Tatum regime. Lu is the fellow
to count on there this year: they just
don't catch him when he gets going
good.
All Gambino did last night was
score three of the touchdowns
Maryland racked up in downing the
University of Delaware. 1918, at
College Park. That's a total of six
for him in the nine Tailed by the
Old Liners in their two wining starts
in 1947.
All good things must come to an
end, and that's what happened last
night to Delaware's string Of 80
games without defeat. A sellout
crowd of 16,400, largest ever to see
game. at College Park. was on
hand. - 70 most Of them it was OBJ
vious from the start that the Blue
Hens were out of their league, al
though for about 80 seconds in the
second period they enjoyed a rs
lead.
Terps Gain 472 Yards.
Delaware had no pass defense, and
its line couldn't compete with Mary
lands. It had just bitten off more
than it could chew. Maryland
gained the amazing total of 472
yards, 300 on the ground and 172
in the air. In the second half,
Coach Taturn was able to give his
second, third and fourth stringers
a workout.
The Old Liners marched 10 yards
to score the first time they got their
hands on the ball. The payof came
when Gambino dashed behind Del
awares secondary to snatch 29-
yard pass from Vic Turyn. The
attempted conversion missed. The
Blue Hens got their temporary
lead in the second frame when
Halfback Billy Cole, speediest of

backfield, skated rs yards around
left end. Joe Coady's placement
was good, but that edge lasted only
as long as it took Gambino to run
the kickoff back 88 yards.
Maryland was ahead 30-7 by half
time. John Izdik smashed 2
yards through the middle, and Joe
Tucker tossed a 5-yard pass across
the line to Fred Davis for additional
touchdowns. The Blue Hens helped
by contributing two safeties.
Cole Makes S6-Yard Run.
The two teams got touchdown
apiece In each of the final two quar-
tiers. Gambino returned to the
game only long enough to go II

Tommy Graham, who. instead of
bossing the apparently discarded

with the very first team.
Graham was slightly terrific as

over an impotent Fordham team
before a pleased turnout Of 1923

The Hoyas used their first team
for not more than IS minutes and
packed all their points into the
second and third periods. Stymied
by Fordham's 5-4 defense against
their T formation in the first period,
the Hoyas broke out the spread from
that point and it was from the un-
orthodox formation that Graham
and the other Hoyas who rolled up
349 yards rushing picked up the
blocking they needed.
Gets More Freedom.
Until last nights game, Graham
had been used principally as the
quarterback in the single wing. He
developed near the end OF the 46
season, but did not stand out against
Wake Forest last week. With more
freedom last night, however. Graham
showed ability to cut and his timing
and change of pace were perfection.
Graham ran IS yards with punt
for the first touchdown, tearing
down the sidelines, and ii yards
from scrimmage for the third. going
wide and cutting back through
center. He had a 26-yard dash to

he was away for 10-yard gains and

season. Stan Bloomer was pretty
good passer, but had little protection.
although he clicked tor a touchdown
pass to Jimmy Mcfarland In the
fourth quarter.
Encouraging for Hoyas.
After a sluggish opening period,
the Hoyas used variety for six COM
paratively quick touchdowns. Tony
Boyer went over from the 2 on a
score set up by Graham; Lou Sur
man went 16 yards after intercept
ing pass to set that one up; Babe
Baranowsh went II yards after hav-
ing one called back for holding and
JOHNNY Preston went IS yards down
the sidelines. Moe zanger looked
good as a ball carrier and he and
Baranowski each dropkicked an
extra point. It was an encouraging
ball game for the Hoyas and the
regulars received just enough work
out for st. Louis here next Friday
night. A memorable incident In the
game was block by Andy Ronon on
Baranowski's run that felled two
