Football Schedule
At University

Two members of the tough Mid
American Conference, Marshall
and Bowling Green, appear on g.
nine-game football schedule for
the University of Delaware in 1853,
it has been announced by David
NJ Nelson, athletic director and
head football coach.
Marshall makes its first appear
ance on the Blue Hens schedule.
Bowling Green was first faced at
Delaware Stadium in 1857 when
the Ohio team scored a thrilling
TO victory. The Hens will host
Marshall October "a and play at
Bowling Green on November IA.
The nine-game schedule will be
the first for Delaware since 1855
when the Blue Hens compiled an
81 record. Delaware was relegated
to a seven-game card in 1857 when
Lafayette was plagued with the flu
and forced to cancel.
The Big Green of Marshall have
had their grieiron troubles in re-
cent years, but have been building
for what appears to be bright
3-6 record this past fall. Marshall
recorded wins over West Virginia
State, Moorehead and Toledo, los
ing to Western Michigan, Kent
State, Ohio University, Xavier,
Miami University of Ohio and
Bowling Green. The Bowling
Green Club, a perennial power in
the area, finished second in the
conference.
Marshall is located in Hunting
ton, West Virginia Founded in
1897, the undergraduate enrolment
stands at nearly 1900.
Coach Nelson rates Marshall and
Bowling Green in the same class
with Delaware, but added that the
Mid-America Conference is "tra-
ditionally tough" and its teams
are highly regarded. Miami of
Ohio has been the conference
champion for the Fast two sea-
sons.
The only team missing from the
1858 schedule is Connecticut. Coach
with the Yankee Conference team
is completed and that the Huskies
will remain off the Hens schedule
for at least several years. The
eight-game series ended an even
split between the teams with Del
aware winning the finale by $50.
The 1859 schedule includes four
home games and five away games.
Delaware will open the season at
Delaware stadium on September 26
against Lehigh. The following week
the Hens will travel to Massachus-
etts.
The Hens will be seeking to inn
prove on a 5-3 record and will
play its second year in the newly
organized university division of the
Middle Atlantic Conference. Con-
ference opponents will be Lehigh,
Lafayette, Rutgers, Temple and
BuckneIl

400 Persons

Tax Break

Fourteen hundred persons, 65
years old or more, made appli-
cation for $4,000 exemptions
from county real estate taxes
under provisions of an emer-
genecy measure passed this ses-
sion of the General Assembly.
Before application deadline
came last Thursday, the office
of the Assessor, headed by viii.
ton T. Allen was flooded by the
unprecedented applications, AL
len said.
Seven hundred applications
were filled out and returned to
Aliens office one day after the
deadline, he said, guessing that
the total finally received won't
be much higher.
Biggest source of confusion,
Allen said, was whether income
from retirement and social
security payments fell within
the maximum of $4,000 a year
applicants were allowed. More
disqualified an applicant.
He settled the question quick.

Other requirements for eligi-
bility, in addition, to age, were
that applicants must have lived
on the land assessed and owned
it for five years.
Assessment worked out this
way if all requirements were
met: if the property in question
were assessed at $4,000, the
applicant would be assessed
only $1,000. Allen said that ap-
plications must be made yearly
! for the same exemption.

went about their business of
preparing Gaithersburg's

for action.
At one minute after midnight
last Saturday, the operator

last in the county, was to be
retired in favor of direct dis

Following months of intricate

For the past Is or ID minutes
or so, Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Company workers
had been cleaning UP last me-
chanical details preparatory to
the switchover. Operators were
asking callers to postpone calls
unless they were emergencies
until the change was complete.
Then, as the second hand
swept toward midnight, a line
man in a manhole outside the
exchange building broke the last
old circuit and shouted "O.Kw
to others awaiting his signal.
A team of men inside the
building bent over separate
wooden Jokes. Strings tied to
these Jokes were attached to

stuffed between two contacts for
each telephone line.

outside, they Strengthened quick.

tried out their new dial phones.
