BOWL BOUND
Blue Hens to Meet Kent
State at Evansville, Ind,
December 5th
BOWL FEVER SPREADS

A rare and contagious malady
is abroad today in the normally
placid college community of New
ark, Delaware. Bowl fever" al
ready has overcome many of the
local residents and is spreading
rapidly through the State as the
University of Delaware's Fighting
Blue Hens prepare to do battle
with the Golden Flashes of Kent
State University in the Refriger-
ator Bowl at Evansville, Indiana,
December 5. Delaware's 1854
team, which completed its regular
season last Saturday with a
crushing 200 decision over Buck
nell, ranks among the best teams
in the East in total offense, scor-
ing, rushing offense, and rushing
defense. In Don Miller, 3rd team
Little All America quarterback
last year, the Blue Hens have one
of the cleverest ball handlers and
passers seen on Eastern gridirons
in many a day. In his four years
as number one signal caller in the
Hens wing T system, he has
thrown SO touchdown passes, a
new ETA career record, while
completing 220 aerials for 3,7o8I
yards. Three small, but shifty
backs give Delaware formidable
ground attack to balance the SUI
perioroverhead game. Jimmy
Flynn, Andy Wagner, and Jimmy
Zaiser have accounted for 1872
yards and 116 of the 246 points
scored this year. The rugged Del
aware line composed of Marty
Apostolico and Tom Redfeld,
ends; Steve Butcher and Nick
Merge, tackles; Bob Trivits and
Jerry Weis, guards; and Frank
Gyetvan, center, averages 201
pounds per man and is largely re-
sponsible for a rushing defense
of TIC yards per game, top de-
fensive mark in the East.
In nine games this season, Del
aware defeated West Chester,
4O-6; Lehigh, 21-0; Temple, 51-13;
New Hampshire, 1918; Connecti-
cut, 28-7; Lafayette, Alt; and
Bucknell, 200. Upsets, both by
1913 counts, were sustained at
the hands of Muhlenberg and Get
tysburg.
Delaware has fielded football
teams since 1889, but is a COM
parative newcomer as national
ly recognized small college power.
The Blue Hens first claimed a
modest share of fame in 1891
when they stunned local randi
cappers by winning the State
championship with 40 victory
over the Delaware Field Club.
Not until 1881 were they again
to command serious attention by

squeaker to Navy in the waning
moments of the fourth quarter.
In this memorable season, Della
ware and Drexel were considered
deadlocked- for the Glass "B"
Eastern Championship.
Delaware has emerged as a
football power since 1910 under
the direction of two brilliant
coaches, William D. Murray and
David M. Nelson, Michigan team
mate of the immortal Tommy
Harmon. Murray, now head coach
at Duke, led Delaware through a
chain of 32 games without defeat
from 1940-47. (The Blue Hens
did not play during the war
years, 1943-45). Nelson, already
considered one of the outstanding
young coaches in the game, has
guided the team to % victories in
the 33 games of the past four
seasons. Under his direction, Del
aware has scored in every game.
During the twelve seasons played
since 1910, the Blue Hens have
posted the most spectacular rec
ord of any team in the Philadel-
phia area with 72 victories, 26
losses, and 2 ties.

Queen Candidates
 To Get Extra Bonus

Valley Fair Queen contestants really have something to work for this year. At the August Is meet ing board members voted to in- crease the "bonus" payments for ticket sales. Previously each girl received S25 upon qualifying by having sold 250 tickets. The only additional money received by the candidates was a 10 percent bon us paid on total sales at the close of the contest.
 According to the new schedule each candidate will not only re- ceive the above money but will receive a S25 bonus each time she sells 250 tickets, up to 1000. When she sells 1000 tickets she will receive $50 and an addition al $50 for each 250 tickets sold over the first 1000 At the close of the contest the candidate will also receive 10 percent of her total ticket sales.
 Over and above the mentioned amounts, the girl who is chosen to reign over the 1854 Matanuska Valley Fair will also receive $250

R.E.A. OFFICIAL
 OUTLINES INITIAL NEEDS DURING VISIT

E. C. Weitzell, cheif of tele- phone operators and loan divi- sion of the Rural Identification Administration attended a meet ing with board members of the Matanuska Telephone Association on this week Monday Ancher Nelson, chief of the REA was also in attendance.
 Weitzell outlined the present status of MTA by stating that the loan of S567, ,000 has been approv- ed by REA, outlined conditions, and stated that REA is now ready to go ahead with final nego- tiatons to get MTA into actual operation.
 Inasmuch as this local REA telephone is the first of it's kind in the territory, it will be pilot project and will set a pattern for additional loans in Alaska, Welt zell stated.
 Things that must be done at once by the MTA were presented in order of their importance, first of which is the collection of an equity of $30, $50 of which $16,650 must be on deposit be- fore funds can be released for construction. Tt is of utmost inn portance to get as complete sign-up as possible while the pro ject is still in its design stage, the REA official pointed out. The reason for this being that the new telephone system will be built from the central office out. For this reason it is important that members be signed-up now to insure against inadequate funds and to assure improved service to the various areas.
 Lew Hanks, MTA chairman, said this week that money for the initial stages of the project will be raised through a campaign scheduled to begin this coming Continued on page 4)

CITY COUNCIL NOTES
N !2K

The oath of office was admin istered to A. J. DeJulio by City Attorney John Shaw at the Aug ust Y meeting of the common council. Councilman DeJulio was elected to fill the council vacancy created by the death of former Councilman Parker Lester.
 Ray Mathews. APW inspector, attended the council meeting and participated in a lengthy discus
 sion of water rates in the city of Palmer. During the discussion period it was pointed out that because the city now has full protection as far as fire hydrants are concerned, porperty owners will realize a saving in insurance rates. It was stressed that the fire underwriters may not class the city any lower than in the past, which has been number seven rating, but that because of pressured water the rating will not go up as it could well have done with the old water system. Although Mathews could not make an estimate on what rat ing will be set for the city, his water rate study was based on the assumption that the city will hold the seven rating. If the un- derwriters set it at six, it will be that much better, he pointed out. Because of the fire protec- ton now afforded through the new system, the whole cost of the system should not be borne by the home owner water user, the report showed. Had it not been for the fire protection need ed within the city, the reservoir could have been smaller, only one pump would have been neces- saTy. 14-inch supply lines could have been much smaller, no aux Hilary generator would have been needed and the system need not Isve looped throughout the city. Through the water rate analysis, studies of what costs are borne ov inc home owner using water and those who are not using city water but have the advantage of the fire protection, were made. Additional studies must now be
