Season Tonight
With Elkton
HighIets Hope To Score
A Victory Over The
Maryland Boys Here
This Evening.

The BUGS are hoping to record
a victory before the hometown fans
as they engage Elkton in the final
home game of the 1857 season, here
this evening. ElktOn, victors over
Milford last year, has been on the
short end of the score on several
occasions this year. Only one vic
tory has been recorded in the new
stadium since it has been opened
in September 1856 Game time is
at 500 p. m. The Elkton and Mil
ford High School Bands will pro-
vide pre-game and halftime en-
tertainment.
The Milford High Buccaneers
proved no match for the powerful
Laurel High football team as they
dropped their fifth game. They
have emerged victorious in one
contest; defeating Cambridge 27-
a.
Laurel has permitted but one
tally thus far this season. They
displayed a hard charging line
which kept the Milford attack at
bay throughout the contest. Mil
ford threatened once when Harvey
Hastings broke away on a 60-yard
dash; being stopped on the 15-yard
line. Here the attack begged down
and the Bucs did not seriously
threaten thereafter.
Laurel scored on the second
play from scrimmage when Yori
took pitchout and sprinted
around his right end IS yards for
touchdown. Yori proved to be
Milford's undoing as he scored
three touchdowns. Laurel had a
well-balanced backfield as Yori was
ably assisted by Serman, Allen and
Beckon.

Williams Calls For

SOlOn, However, Did Not

Candidate For Re-elec-
ton.

U. S. Senator John ]. Williams
on Thursday night last declined to
announce his candidacy for re-
election to the Senate on the Re-
publican ticket in 1858; but the
general feeling at the first ami
versary banquet of the First Rep
resentative District Republican
Club of Sussex County held at Lin
coin, was that he would run.
In delivering the principal ad-
dress of the evening, Senator Viii
liams did not mention anything
about being candidate.
Earlier in the evening, before
the dinner, he told some friends
that it is much too early to make
any such announcement.
In his speech, he called for a
Republican victory next year and
outlined a three-part formula:
l. A program that will win the
confidence of the people;
2. Candidates who can command
the respect of the people; and
8. The ability to get out the vote.
All the other speakers of the
evening hailed Senator Williams
as the successful candidate in next
years election.
The senator went into compari-
son of the accomplishments of the
Republican and Democratic par
ties. He stressed the need for con-
structive criticism which he said,
is good for a united Republican
Party.
Speaking of Russia's scientific
accomplishments, he admitted that
