The baseballs flashing twirl and spin From hand to glove at pitch and catch. Across the path, tree-shadows lean: Far off, white pillars show between. Glimmers and flickers like a match, Each grass-blade, a tiny flame of green. Like actors in a scene that's played, The students walk from door to door, Or, rank on rank, in measured speed, Recross the trampled green and tread The slopes where linden pillars soar To meet the columned white facade. Old College, veteran of the place, Vines scale your ivory and red. Howi often have we lifted face In yeuthful reverence to trace Grave cornices, broad roofs, that spread A classic grandeur for our praisel Heow often shall we see again Olympic sports on Frazer Field, The hardened muscles tug and strain, The light foot speed to cross the line.

WILKINSON pon the shoulders of Mr. Wilkinson as Business Administrator of the University devolves the re- spansibility of efficiently distributing the always meager finances at his disposal in order that a high standard af equipment and teaching personnel may be cbrained at Dzlaware. and that the University activities that are ever expanding in every field may not have to be curtailed, It has been no easy task, Those who have an intimate knowledge of the conditions under which Mr. Wilkinsan has labored and who have contact with things made possible by his efforts, are apt to marvel at the efficient hand that contrels the University finances, 'Progress is the definite edict that spurs him onalways does hie have an unselfish interest in the improvement of Delaware, Mr. Wilkinson's ability as an advertising expert of th: highest type has had much to do with the continued publicity centering upon the growing needs of the University. His personal connections are many and influential and to all of them has he sericusly presented the problems attendant upan building a greater University. The increased appropriations seemed in past years to have been duz in no small measure to his efforts, in close cooperation with those of President Hullihen and others inter- ested in the College. It is peeuliarly remarkable that 'Buz, as the students good-humoredly have dubbed him, has not lost the ability to excercise a distinetly intimate interest in these individual students who come ta him seeking financial aid, in spite of his immersicn in the broader duties of his office.

The Foreign Study Plan was inaugurated in 1923. The Junior vear was chosen as the most prac- tical, at least for the initiation of the project, and now the oppartunity is provided for studants to spend their entire Junior year in France. with full credit for all work successfully cempleted abroad. The train- ing received is readily adaptable te the American A, B. Course. One might call this a 'general cultural training as opposed to the professional or technical training of special schoals. The student, by contact with the best of French literature. learns to understand French customs and ideas. Also. no little significance must be attached to the benefits derived from the trips made throughout France, from the operas heard and the plays seen, and, abave all, from the intimate social life carried on amang representative French families. If the student is intelligent, his Junior year of foreign study will be of inestimable value to him both in the academic and th business worlds. Four years have seen the number of students taking advantage of the Foreign Study Plan of the University of Delaware increase from eight to approscimately seventy-five. Although atill an experi- ment. the Foreign Study Plan has proved itself worthwhile and must be extended to include not only French-speaking France. but also Spanish-speaking Spain and other countries until all the principal nations and languages of the world are open to American studsnts. Fer its development and organization, the Foreign Study Plan is indebted greatly 1o Professar R. W. Kirkbride, Dr, Walter Hullihen, Mr. Pierre 5. duPont. and the Serviez Citizens of Delaware. 437 b T g e Phi Kappa Phi Fraternity HE Honor Society of the Phi Kappa Phi was crganized in 1897 for the purpose CC of promoting scholarship among American college students. It seeks to foster learning, in competition with the numerous attractive and conflicting interests affecting the modern every.day life of the undergraduate, by offering him membership on an equal basis with the members of the faculty. Through meetings of the two factors, it aims to promote good feeling, learning, and high ideals ameng students in their personal college relationships. These meetings, it is hoped, will help te avercome the decen- tralizing tendencies of separate school emphasis in the larger institutions. e 4 38 b 439 ArtHur UNDERWOOD m;jnr Underwood was barn May 20, 1885, at Bowling Green, Kentucky. He received his pre- paratery education at Ogden College in that city, and was appointed to the United States Mil- itary Academy in 1905. Upen his graduation from West Point in 1909, he was attached to the Twentieth Infantry, then stationed in the Phillippine lslands, as a Second Lieutenant. After two years of service he was transferred to Utah. In 1913 he was sent to El Paso, where he was attached to one of the units then guarding the border. In 1914 he was placed in the D. Q. L. and assigned te the Kentucky State University. After a year and a half. the cutbreak of hostilities in Mexico under the leadzrship of Villa farced his recall to active service. In 1916 he was made a First Lieutenant in the Thirty-fourth Infantry. In 1917 he was appointed a Captain and attached to the Sixty-fourth Infantry. In 1918 he was promoted to a Majorship in the replacement camp at Camp Pike, Arkansas. The same year he was transferred to the War College at Washington 1o 1ake the short course for general staff work., He was then attached to the Fortieth Infantry, and was under orders to go overseas when the Armistice was signed. However, he was sent to Eurcpe in 1919 as disbursing officer in the Ordnance Department of the A. E. F. Returning to the States in September, 1920, he was attached to the Fifty-third Infantry with headquarters at Camp Grant, 1llinais, and then at Fort D. A. Russel, Wyoming. In the summer of 1922 he commanded a demanstration battalion at Forg Logan, Calorado. In the fall of that year he was sent to the infantry school at Fort Benning, Georgia, and in 1923 to the schoel of command and general staff at Fort Leavenworth, Fansas. In June, 1924, he was appointed Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the University of Delaware. e N e . oz Officers Club Davip S, CaTHCART . Gl : T e . . . Captain R. RusseLL Pirein, . .

The Classes of 1926 and 1927 will go down in the military annals of Delaware among those who played a vital part in the process of expansion. The particularly fine successes achieved during the collegiate year 1925-26 were no doubt due in large measure to the well chesen commanding personnel of the Battalion. The officers were: Cader Major, Earl Weggenman; Cadet Adjutant, Francis Barkley; Cadet Caprain, Company 'A , J. Clyde Davis: Cadet Captain, Company B, A. Murray Hanson; Cadet Captain Company 'C , Richard W. Torbert. The competitive drill for this yvear was cne of the most keenly contested in the history of military affairs at Delaware College. Company 'B. under the leadership of Captain Hanson, carried away the honers for the third consecutive year, in consequence of which the first sergeant of Company B now wears the Robert's Medal, Thus, Majer Underwooed completed his second year at Delaware and much credit is due him as well as his assistants, Captaing Morse and Whittemore, for the fine shawing made. Perhaps a word should be said in passing of a man, who though not present during the twa years with which this bock deals, is, through his enduring influsnce, entitled to a share of the henors. The college lost a valuable man when Captain Rey Sparks was detailed for duty at Fort Benning, Georgia. After his four years sojourn at Delaware, Captain Sparks was reluctant to leave because of the many friend- ships he had formed here by his never-tiring interest in Delaware men. The Rifle Club owes its ex- istence and its present success to the zeal and enthusiasm of this man. The class of 1927 invaded Plattsburgh in June, 1926, with a contingent of farty-six men under the leadership of Captains Morse andWhittemore, Major Undarwosd was on leave of absence and hence did not accompany the Delaware boys to the shores of Lake Champlain. f 42 - The Delaware men were assigned to Company B, together with students frem Clasen Military Academy and Dayton University. The company was commanded by Captain Hackett. assisted by Captain Knight and Lieutenant Godson. From the first taunting echoes of the pre-reville salutation, Rise and shine, Bully Boys, rise and shine! , given by a certain well despised regular sergeant, to the stealthy creep past the guard at 1 A.M., the days were packed full of hard woerk and thrills. Frequent excursions to the 'Meridian House and other paints of interest on the border and in Canada supplied a wealth of experiences sufficient to cram any memory book! The encampment was fittingly concluded by the usual Delaware Dance put over with all the traditional finesse. It was truly a splendid affair. Colonel Castle, Captains Whittemore, Morse, Hackett, and Knight, and Lieutenant Godson were guests of hanor, The Battalion of the University for the present year 15 commanded by Palmer MacFadden Craig with the rank of Cadet Major. Craig was the highest scorer from Delaware on the rifle range at Platrs- burgh, and he shows his wares on the University rifle team. William Lobmann 15 Cadet Adjutant with rank of Captain. The company commanders ranking as Cadet Captains are: Ira T, Ellis, Company A David C. Catheart, Company 'B ; and R. Russell Pippin, Company 'C . A distinctly faverable innovation introduced during this year was the adoption of the new reg- ulation uniforms for cadets in the R. O. T, C. course, The elimination of the traditional chaker is generally conceded to have greatly enhanced the popularity of the uniform The afficers af the Bartalion met early in October, 1926, and formed a new organization to be known as the 'Officers Club. It is a step taken in an attempt to further the development of military affairs en the campus. The cofficers elected were: Captain, David C. Cathcart; First Lieutenant., Russell Pippin: Second Lieutenant, William L. Ellis. Captains Whittemore and Morse, honorary members of the Scabbard and Blade Society, are very desirous of having the lecal bedy petition their national organization that a chapter might be installed ar Delaware. 4 43 - Rifle Team URING the five years of the existence of the Rifle Team, interest in rifle marks- manship has steadily been increasing. The ability of each individual, and conse- quently the ability of the team, has shown a marked degree of advancement. This has largely been due to the work of Captain William P. Marse, whe is in charge of Rifle Marksmanship of this unit. MNow, a keen interest and a strong spirit of com- petition are being manifested toward the rifle team and the rifle 'D. The rifle 'D is awarded to any member in good scholastic standing who breaks a University record or ties the same, or whose score in fifty percent of the matches is counted as qualified. With one exception, all the matches during 1925-1926 were shot in the customary wayby telegraph. The matches were supervised by official judges at each competing college and at the end of the week scores were exchanged by wire. This year was the first year in the history of the Rifle Club that the team was allowed to make a trip. The team was invited to attend the Service match held at the Maval Academy in An- napolis. Under the able coaching of Captain Whittemore, the following team was or- ganized: Captain Manns, Weggenmann, Haitch, Craig, Dutcher, Corley, Hynson, Walz and Baker. Although the team brought home no honors, they experienced difficulties in real shooting that proved valuable to them. Delaware won two martches and lost five in the Middle Atlantic States Intercollegiate League of 1925-1926. Qut of the forty-six matches, the Blue and Gold team won twenty-two and lost twenty-four. We were henored by being selected as one of the colleges to take part in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy Match, one of the biggest collegiate rifle matches ever staged. A successful season and high score are the requirements for privileges in this meet. The team made another good showing in the Corps Area Match, one of the biggest and most difficult of the year. The total score of the ten highest was 7545 out of a pessible 8000. George Dutcher led in this match with a score of 773 out of 800, During this year the schedule is very light. Although the season is not yet over, we have so far competed in only eleven matches. This constitutes the lightest program in the histery of the club with the exception of the first year, when there were only three meets. The tendency this year has been to have quality instead of quantity. Without a doubt the shooting for this year has far surpassed that of previous seasons. Although fewer records have been broken, the team as a whole has made a much better showing and the finale is all that counts. The records of 1925-26 were: Mannsisitting 99; Davissitting 100; Dutcher standing 96; Corleystanding 96; Mannsstanding 97. For 1926-27: Bakerkneeling 96; Hynsonkneeling 97. 4 44 3- 5 i i d ? 1 fll ?

They show us, too, that the Sophomores kidnapped our best men a few hours before the 'rush on Frazer Field and then won ? the battle. But they tell us pleasanter things than these. Our Freshman Banquet, on February fourth, we learn, was eminently successful because the Sophomores did find it out, because they did bombard us from the gallery, because they did fill the Grill Room with hydrogen sulphide gas. Hardly won victories are sweetest. The next important date, the old records show us, was the evening of May fifteenth. Important for tweo reasons: we burned our green baskets, symbols of Freshman obedience, and went to the Women's College not on Friday night, either to do it. But our period of Fresh- man freedom was soon over. Ina day, it seemed, examinations were upon us; and our fateful first year was history. But it was, however, a year not without its honors; Garvine, Beatty, Lohmann and Hubert had all won their 'D's in varsity football. Our Sophomore year began inauspiciously, but it was by no means an unpresperous year. A defeat by the Freshmen in the first night encounter only taught us how to fit ourselves to meet their strength and we gloriously defeated them in the tug-of-war. Then, for good measure, we gave them ALL a ride into the country the night of the con- test. On December twentieth, we chaperoned the ''Greenies on their pilgrimage to Wilmington for their banquet. And so the old decuments note we ourselves were chaperoned by half a dozen or more husky bulls of the Wilmington Police Force. Concerning athletics, our Sophomore year gave us nothing to complain of. Qur eon- tests were confined to matches with the Freshmen. But we triumphed over them in track and again in football. In varsity football, also, we could not complain, for Weot- ten had been added to the list of our letter men. Another summer having passed, we entered in September, 1926, the calm and quiet of our Junior vear, We had left behind us the fever of the Freshman year and the bois- terousness and horseplay of our Sophomere and entered into the more serious work of the upper classes. Five of our number, though still on the University roster, were not with us. They were the members of the Foreign Study Group: Stroud, Eyer, Dale, Pool, and Gluck. They had gone out five; would they come back ten? Or could they withstand the charms of les petites filles? We shall here interrupt the old manuscript to say that our fears proved groundless Burt we tucked fear down in our vzst along with our neckties and made ready for a glorious Junior Promenade. And it was glorious. Hotel duPont which is now the Hotel duPont-Biltmore was ablaze with light on the night mest of the night of February nineteenth as Class of 27 lavishly entertained the Class of '26. A little later, by way of diversion, we won the interclass basketball championship by defeating the Freshmenpresumptuous even to think of struggling with us! And we considered that another vear had closed favorably for our Class. -4 47 L I e 5 After this brief chapter on our year as Juniors, we find in the old manuscript eight or nine pages heavily blotted out with India ink, with here and there such phrases as Delaware Day at Plat or Many students get marksmanship medals and the like left unobscured. The writer has never been able to find out just what was con- tained on this blotted out partion, but he does know to a certainty that it was a record of our class at Plattsburg, and the authar of the manuesript who is unknown defaced some after he had written it because it was 'better unpublished This marks the end of the old manuscript. The following is a brief rendition by the writer. We are now Seniors. We look down from above with a certain feeling of security and of philosophical calm upon the classes struggling and tailing beneath us, and we look upward to the Alumni struggling and toiling above us, and we feel for ence that we are the favored God's elect. Dimly we know that in the world of educated men, we are mere tenderfeet; intensely we feel that we are sitting on top of the world. That it may brighten darker days, let us, then, close our histery in this spirit of elation.

LovELAND Junior Class History oME pundit of oldwe believe it was Carlyleonce sagaciously remarked, 3 At the bottom there is no perfect history; there is none such conceivable. Then along came Dumas, Pere, who averred, Truth is liable to be left-handed in history. And with the mere mention of these utterances, we dismiss lightly the imperfections and falsifications, if there be any, of the Class of 1928. Our history began auspiciously in September. 1924, and, if the predictions of the al- manac-astrologers are correct, it will end under equally favorable circumstances. OQur first night at college was featured by the severe trouncing which we administered to the Sophomores, six of whom were sent to the hospital. This hitherto-unheard-of feat of a Freshman Class winning the class-fight on the first night of school was only one of the many distinctive episodes in the history of the class. The genius of the class in blazing new and difficult trails in the fastness of college tradition was displayed in the choice of class colors and mascot. After prolonged bal- loting, heliotrope and Copenhagen blue were selected as the class colors.. In a similarly close election, the bat-winged pterodactyl won out over the leaping dinesaur as class mascot. Undaunted by reversals in the Freshman-Sophomore tug-of-war, the track meet and the football game, we proceeded to annex the gonfalon of the Interclass Basket- ball League. Wilson, Creamer, Hayes and Lichenstein starred on the team. Well protected by the gendarmes of the First City of the First State, we staged a successful Freshman Banguet. By judiciously selecting seats underneath the baleany, we were able to escape the usual barrage of ripe hen fruit and fAour which the Sepheo- mores are wont to deliver from the gallery. The class officers for the first year were: Poole, President; Hopkins, Vice-President; Homer Lynch, Secretary: Hoppes, Treasurer: and Broddus Jones, Historian. The class was lead through a successful second vear with the following men as officers: Creamer. President: MclLucas, Vice-President: Hoffecker, Secretary: and Wharry, Treasurer. Our average in the Class Fight League was kept at 1.000 when we routed the Class of '29 with a bombardment consisting of the superannuated fruit of the Lycopersicum Esculentum and senile cackle berries. By a clever ruse, the Freshmen were able to hold their banquet unmolested in Phil- adelphia. Seweral brave spirits of our class pursued them to the Quaker City, but were unable to interrupt the festivities. Outnumbered by about 20 to I, the Sophomores were forced to beat a hasty retreat from Green's Cafe when confronted with the possi- bility of being thrown down a steep pair of stairs. However, when the party returned, it was showered with a shelling of mud balls. The official score keeper chalked up another win for the Class of 28 when we dragged the first year men through the frigid waters of White Clay Creek in the annual tug-of-war. We were among the 'also-rans in the basketball competition. t was during our second year that the soup strike took place. Several prominent men of the class took an active part in the attempt to have the Commons increase the viscosity of the soup and decrease the coefficient of resist- ance of the pancakes. 4 79 3 - jS?z? BLOE BEN $ The springtime of the year saw us again electing officers. Wilson, McLucas, Hof- fecker, and Derrickson were elected President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. Lured on by fantastic tales of the Latin Quarter and Montmarte and stories about the Follies Bergeres, Stein, Harry Lynch and Nevins were marked down as ameng the missing on our return for our Junior year. The first half of this year was uneventful. In February we s the unforgettable Junior Prom in the Gold Ball Room of the duPont-Biltmore Hatel in Wilmington. As the sports editor of the Review so originally said, 'A good time was had by all. Dring our three years in college, the Class of 28 has contributed many men to the various activities on the campus. Reybold, Hopkins, McCaskey, Creamer, and Loveland have won the coveted D F:fmm the gridiron. Roser and Loveland have done yeoman service for the track team, Lichtenstein and Creamer have scintillated on the basketball court. The former has also won his letter in baseball and the latter has his letter for tennis. Walz, Baker, Hoffecker, Corley and Hynson are members of the rifle team. We were represented on the swimming team by Reybold and Maier. Reardon, Corley, Craven, Ott, Harry Lynch, Day, Hoopes, Moore, Miller, and Hand- loff have assisted in the preparation of the simian gabble which the Review serves to offer its readers. The lone member of the class to display any histrionic talent was Ryon, who got his stage experience by haunting the wings of the Georgetown Opry house which his uncle owns. Ryon basked in the calcium glare of the spotlight in that never-to-be-forgotten presentation of Ibsen's ''Ghosts. He was rew by being elected to that select gathering of Immortals, The Footlights Club. The silver-tongued Cohen, the Demosthenes-like Craven, the gifted Moore, and the eloquent Handloff comprised our famous Freshman Debating Team, an aggregation which had no peers. By means of a well-proportioned combination of forensic skill and verbal vehemence, they swept aside all opposition. Thus endeth the Odyssey of the Ship of 28.

Hurray! rejoined the fun-loving Max, You want to keep an eye peeled for the Sophs and cut out the noise. Max, for all his seeming absorption in the lighter side of life, knew a thing or two. Well, let's say hurray for the fun of it anyway, countered Handy, who was rather young and innocent as yet. And thus it was that the Rover boys, along with their new found friends at college, discovered what it was to become a part of the great throbbing center of culture of the state of Delaware. They all said hurray and they all believed ' 'hurray, as they walked home from Glasgow that evening. You see, Max's cynicism could not prevail against college spirit. No. 2 'Well, cried Dick, 'Now that Jimmie's chairman, we're an honest-to- goodness class. Dick had a sense of the responsibilities of being a member of a par- ticular class, and he understood the need for organization and things like that, And now that we're organized, what'll we do? queried the youngest of the trio, Handy, who was still a little innocent. No. 3 Whaddiya mean, Joe fell down stairs? It was the fun-loving Max who asked the question. 'Well, he just fell down and Bus caught him. There wasn't any prohibition inspectors on duty in Philadelphia and so you see how it was, returned Handy, whe WaS not very INNocent now. Yes, rejoined Dick with a twinkle in his eve, Wasn't it a fine idea to have the banquet way off in Philadelphia where there weren't any Sophomores or prohib- ition agents? No. 4 Its this bird from Virginia, roared the fun-loving Max, He's got a grudge against the grand old game of bridge. This sounded like shocking heresy, decided Dick. He judicially allowed the foam- ing Max to explain. Two checker boards in the loungecan you bear that? And they use wooden horses on themcan you beat that? And they oughta build bleachers for the audience va can't beat that! Mo. 5 'Rah, rah, rah, A section, A section, A section! exclaimed Handy, who had come to believe in all the major virtues. Why? queried Dick. Well, we've got the biggest bid for collegiate honors over there. We've got college life that's real college life. Didja ever go into Mary Allen's room? returned Handy. At the same time he was modestly witholding reference to the life that char- acterized his own suite, for Handy was not a boy to forget the major virtues. Rah, rah, rah, B section, B section, B section, cried the fun-loving Max, and his clder brother in one breath. Didja ever hear of the Boonton group? 4 120 3 MNe. 6 'Halp, halp, halp, haIlp!! Yessir, that's my baby. Crash! Crash! Crash! K-bung, K-bung! Yessir, up ene flight and turn to the right; first door, very efficiently directed the responsible Dick, You'll find the disturbance in Room 216, A section. No. 7 And I shall always maintain that necking furnishes a very praiseworthy form of emotional outlet for the younger generation, cried Dick after due consultation of various Little Blue Books. The evening bull-session was drawing to a close, S8o's your ald man, shouted several of the preachers sons. No. 8 'Forty-nine bottles sitting on the wall, acutely observed Max. Yes, rejoined Dick, We have become Sophomores. No. 9 We've been a pretty good class so far, haven't we? queried Handy. Yes, I think we have really been a great class, rejoined Dick. Yeh, as great even as that class Pat Leahy was press agent for last year,' observed Max, And one thing about us is we haven't sponsored any radicals. When you stop to think about it, there isn't a single member of the class in good standing who has flouted tradition in any real sense, rejoined Dick, 'We're a pretty fine and dandy uniferm bunch in our ideas abaut life. But we've got one man who is differentone man who is different from the rest of us, observed Max, Impossiblewho is it? queried Handy.

The most important charge develving upon them is the administration of the Honor System and the trying of the cases arising under it. The Student Councils of the past twoe vears under the leadership of Presidents Mannix and Harper have breught the student life of the campus to a higher plane than ever before attaned under this complex cooperative system. The decisions handed down by the Student Council in all of the few cases invol- ving viclations of the Honer System have been fully upheld by the Scholarship and Discipline Commitres. It is upen careful and just, but swift and sure, handling of such cases that the centinuance of the faith placed in the student senate hinges. Thus far they have done particularly well, -4 154 3- STUDENT COUNCIL 19261927 Officers J. E. Hanrer, 27, Prexsident J. W. Guawr, 27, Secretary R. W. McKelvey, 27, Fice-prerident J. E.

The usual pep fests were held during the football season of 1926 and 1927, including the traditional Freshman Pesrade, with great success. A notable achievement of the Council of 1926-1927 was the final elimination, by the motion of Presi- dent Harper, of the usual first might rumpus, instigated by the Scphomeres, and a noticeable de- crease in hazing. generally, thruout the year. The body has had splendid success in sublimating the reughheouse tactics of beistercus Sophomares for such things as the organized 'tug o war and other supervised 'rushes, The Freshman Handbook, published by the Council in 1926 and edited by James Grant, was by far the best example of such work that has vet appeared at the University It was alse during the years 1926-1927 that the Student Council undertook a plan of careful dis- tribution of funds on hand to needy and deserving organizations upon the Campus. When the Band was rejuvenated, they furnished the money necessary for the hiring of an instructar. They have been of great assistance to the Debating Council ,also. Social activites have not been neglected by this bady. The Annual Thanksgiving Dinner under their auspices was the usual big success as were three Student Council Dances, among them a Bal Masque which was unanimously voted the gayest dance of the year. - 135 - DERELICTS 1925-1926 J.

BARKLEY uE Derelicts, the enly Senior Honerary Society on the University Campus, was CC organized in October, 1918, by a group of World War Veterans of the Class of 1919, Each vear sess a different conception of the general ideals of the Society, bur generally speaking, its purpose is to function as a body to promote good fellowship, school spirit, and class spirit, and to encourage all college activities on the Campus. The aim of every Derelict is to promote goed fellowship within the Society to which he has been elected, and to foster good fellowship among the students of the University. Although the carrying out of the ideals of the Derelict Society is not always apparent, it must be borne in mind that this is a secret society and therefore its activities are not openly discussed. 4 136 - DERELICTS 1926-1927 V.

Evwarps Derelict Fraterndy HE Chapter has an active membership of thirteen men who are chosen or' 'tapped ' c i on Tap Day, usually the day of the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet. Membership in the Society is an honor to which most Juniors aspire. The colors of the fraternity, gold and black, are worn on the lapel of each pledge during the day of the meet. A Derelict remains active but one year. The recognition charm of the Derelicts is a small key in gold and black enamel and has come to be very significant on the campus. 4 137 - DRUIDS 1928 C, GuernEY V. LICHTENSTEIN G. B, Pusey W. B.

Maer The Druid Fraterndy HE Druid Seciety is a National Sophomere Henorary Society, founded in 1907 at Pennsylvania State College. The Delaware Chapter, Epsilon, was officially rec- ognized when in the fall of 1922 the Blue Lantern Scciety a similar Soph- omore Society founded in 1920 by members of the Class of 1923 was taken into the MNational Organization. Other chapters of the Druid Fratermity are to be found at Pennsylvania State College, Washington and Jefferson College, Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, and Bucknell University. The ideals and aims of this society in general are; to foster good feelings between the Sophemore and Freshman classes; to stimulate college and class spirit; to encour- age athletic and scholastic ability; and to promote good fellowship in the student body. 4 138 - DRUIDS OF 1929 R.

CuLver From the Freshmen whose characteristics and qualities tend toward these ideals, a number are chosen at the end of the first vear, by the outgoing members to carry on for the next year. The members of the Freshman Class who are elected as members are designated on the day of the Annual Interscholastic Track and Field Meet on Joe Frazer Field both by having a piece of green ribbon fastened on the battom button of their coats and by being tapped. During the scholastic vear, in addition te their activities as individuals, the Druids as an organization give a Druid Smoker, to which every member of the Freshman Class is invited; and, of course, they give their annual Druid Dance held each year in Old College Hall. 4 139 3 WOLF CHEMICAL CLUB FTER a number of years of inactivity, the Wolf Chemical Club was reorganized in October, 1924. The Club was first organized about eight or ten years age for the purpose of stimulating interest in chemistry. That is now its primary purpese, The Club holds its regular meetings at times convenient to its members. Anaddress by some prominent chemist is ordinarily the main feature of each meeting. The talks are usually of such a nature as to be interesting and instructive to any student. Members of the Club in the Senior, Junier, and Sophomore classes are in the habit of making trips to various manufacturing plants at certain times during the year. These trips supply the students with a practical knowledge of the applications of theo- retical chemieal principles. The membership of the Club includes the faculty of chemistry of Delaware College, students in the Chemical Engineering course. and students in the Arts and Science course who are majoring in Chemistry. 4140 3 AGRICULTURAL CLUB GP all campus organizations, there is none that is as active as the Agricultural Club, a body that i1s composed of men who are interested in the study of agriculture, and who are anxious and willing te put forth all the efforts in their power to learn every phase of their chosen profession. Any student in the School of Agriculture is eligible for membership in the Club. Each is charged a nominal membership fee each vear, and the money is used to defray the cost of lectures and programs put on by the organization. Meetings are held weekly, and at frequent periods during the yvear men prominent in their field are brought to Delaware to speak to the Ags on some particular subject. lllustrated lectures are often given in Wolf Hall. Educational trips throughout the adjacent country are taken by the Club under the supervision of the Agriculture professors. Dairies, produce farms, and orchards are visited and inspected and a great deal of practical knowledge that could be gained in no other way is secured by the Ags. Thus the Club may be classed not only as an active organization, but as an educational medium as well. 4 141 3 CHEER LEADERS W. B. DernicksoN C. GurNEY J. STEEL the services of their Alma Mater as do the cheer leaders. Because of the small student bedy, it is extremely hard for a cheer leader to get any gratifying amount of noise from the stands during games, but, in so far as it is humanly pessible, Charlie Gurney and his cheer leaders have succeeded nobly. For the services of cheer leading, it is customary for the Student Council to award the Senior leaders small gold meg- aphones with a blue 'D thereon. It is the only reward given, but it represents a great deal of hard werk and a great amount of time devoted to the cause of better sports. cenmm are perhaps na other groups of men who give so unselfishly of their time 1o o N o 4 142 - 4 143 3 V.GLULD WRITE - 144 - Kappa Alpha Fratrer in Facullale Dean Georce E.

Perhaps the mast significant improvement was the increase in the size of the sheet, making it of the same dimensions as a regulation daily. In pursuance of a pelicy of presenting live, interesting material with an eriginal slant, Editor Grant instituted the initial ap- pearance of such columns as, 'From Co-ed's Pens, The Semnambulist, 'Count Borgia's Column, The Cream of the Jester, This Hall for Hire, ' The Drifter, and Intercollegiate Gab. Prospects for 'The Review when college opened in September, 1926, were any- thing but bright because of a large financial deficit remaining from the previous vear and the difficulty encountered in securing a local printer. Editor Grant and Business Manager Ceorley finally decided to have the weekly printed in Avondale, Pennsyl- vania, Despite the handicap of such an arrangement, Corley set to work to place the publication upen a sound basis, and his efforts were so successful that the paper was again published in Newark before a month had elapsed. The Review will no doubt, for the first time in many years, clean up its inherited indebtedness and show a slight profit by June, 1927, due largely 1o Corley's efforts. During the past year, The Review has endeavored to improve the 'make-up of the sheet and increase its readability by disregarding certain petty news concerning uninteresting campus affairsa radical departure that has met with approval. Wide- spread favorable comment was aroused by the issuing of several special editions, among them being a Faculty Edition, edited by the faculty, a Humeorous Edition, and a Literary Supplement. 4 157 - e ol S first attempt to organize a 'Y at Delaware was made in 1891, A formal organization was effected. but the spirit of the association was feeble for the first seven years, In 1899, the association was reorganized by Dr. Manning, a mem- ber of the faculty and J. H. Manning, '03. Through the interest of certain Alumni of the college, in 1901 a room in the West Wing of Old College was secured and well-furnished. Bible-study elasses were organized in 1899, weekly discussion groups were begun, and an active part was taken in student religious life on the campus. By 1906, one of the most helpful activities of this struggling organization was the publication of a Handbook for Freshmen. These books were the originals from which our present Student Council Handbocks have been developed. Beginning in 99, the association sent delegations to the Student Summer Camp at Morthfield, Massachusetts. Two students were sent the first year, but in 1902, the number of delegates was increased to six. These student delegations, composed usually of three students, were continued for seventeen vears, or until 1916, In June, 1915, the delegates were sent to Eaglesmere instead. The inspiration from these conferences, as reported by the delegates, was a great factor in keeping the Y alive on the Del- aware campus. Another special feature of the Y was the annual Anniversary Service on the Sunday of Commencement Week. At the opening of each vear a special reception was held for the incoming class. This feature of college life has now been taken over by the faculty and recrganized as Freshman Week. 4 158 3 During the war period the 'Y was an active organization at Delaware because of the appointment of a part-time secretary by the War Work Council. The 5. A. T. C. unit at Delaware was demobilized in December, 1918, but the Secretary was retained until June, 1919, when he was withdrawn for financial reasons. After his withdrawal interest in the Y lagged; by 1923, the organization had degenerated into an open discussion groupthe Chi Rho Round Table. In the fall of 1924, the Secretary of the Wilmington 'Y started a movement for a Student Y at Delaware. Dr. E. B. Crooks took up the movement and at a dinner given by the Business Office on Friday evening, December 12, it was decided to estab- lish a Student Y at Delaware. Plans went forward rapidly, and in January the mem- bership certificates were issued and the new organization began to function with Herbert H. Lank as its president. Discussion groups were organized and supervised athletics with the high-school boys of Newark were begun. In May, Clyde Davis was sent as a delegate from Delaware to the Sherwood Forest Spring Conference. Upon his return he was so enthusiastic about his experience that plans were begun to provide ways and means for sending delegates to the Middle Atlantic States Summer Conference at Silver Bay, on Lake George. Earl Pryor, a Junior, and Russell Pippin and lra Ellis, Sophomores, were elected. By popular subscription from the faculty and interested alumni, sufficient funds were collected to cover the conference fee for each man, When school opened in the fall of 1925, the cabinet elected the previous spring took up the work, The officers were: President, R. R. Pippin; Vice-president, J. C, Davis; Secretary, I. T, Ellis; and treasurer, J. E. Pryor. A weekly Bible-study class was or- ganized with Professor E. C. VanKeuren as discussion leader. Open forum meetings were held in the East Wing of Old College every second Monday evening. At these meetings prominent local speakers led the discussion. In the spring of 1926 we again sent delegates to Sherwood Forest, but we were unable to send a delegation to Eaglesmere, the new location of the Middle Atlantic States Summer Conference, because one of our elected delegates became sick a few days before the conference was to open, and the other man did not care to go alone. During the fall of 1926, interest lagged, but in the spring plans were begun to send a delegation to the University of Pennsylvania Summer Student Conference at Green Lane, Pennsylvania. The tangible results of the Y. M. C. A. on the Delaware campus have been few, but we feel that the personal werk of the members and the spiritual inspiration of the students have more than repaid the efforts of those whe have given of their time and energy for the betterment of the religious life of Delaware students. -4 159 - University of Delaware Debating Counctl Marly vears ago, the University of Delaware then known as Delaware College was represented by debating teams which caused the erators of the Blue Hen State to be ranked with the best in the East. But there came a time when the disciples of Demosthenes were no longer respected; oratory and discourse were considered the pastimes of old age; the Athenmum was displaced by the Coliseum. One result of a reaction against this state of affairs is the University of Delaware De- bating Council. The present Council is the outgrowth of the Freshman debating team of the Class of 1928. Much credit must be given Professor VanKeuren and Richard Long for the revival of debating at the University. Under their tutelage, the Freshman team met and defeated both St. Josephs College and Temple University. The Delaware team was composed of Philip Cohen, Joseph Craven, Captain, and Leslie Moore. In 1925, the Debating Council was organized as follows: President,Joseph D. Craven: Manager, Leslie Moore; Chairman E. Com., Philip Cohen: Coach, Professor Matthews. Professor Matthews, on whom the duties of coaching develved at the beginning of 1925, is a member of the English Department. He is a former member of the debating team of Baylor University. He also acted as coach of debating at the University of Mis- souri. Professor Matthews has had many cbstacles 1o overcome inattempting to bring Delaware to the fore in forensic circles. Happily, his efforts have been crowned with success and the future is full of promise. 4 160 - Although the early beginnings of varsity debating were not auspicious, Delaware lesing three of the four contests held, the men were not discouraged; in the first debate of this vear, which was a dual meet with Schuylkill College at Reading, both Delaware's affirmative and negative teams were victorious. The subject of the debate was: 'Reselved: That the Foreign War Debts be Cancelled. The personnel of the Delaware team was as follows: ArrFRMATIVESamuel Handloff, Frederick Whitney, Philip Cohen; MNecative-Lawrence Elliott, Isaac Quillen, Joseph Craven. On February 23, the Delaware team, compeosed of Philip Cohen and Frederick Whitney, was defeated by the University of South Carclina. The subject of the debate was: 'Resclved: That the Volstead Act be Amended to Permit the Sale of Light Wines and Beer. Delaware defended the negative. Te lose to such a team as South Carclina was no disgrace, for the visitors were by far the best exponents of the forensic art that have ever been heard in these parts. The contest was close throughout, and much deliberation was required before the judges finally decided in faver of the South- erners by a two to one verdict. The members of the council were much encouraged by the large number of students and townspeople that attended the debate and by the interest manifested. To date men who have participated in debating have done so for the love of it alone; the College has given no academic credit. But next yvear, a course in Public Speaking is to be given under the auspices of the English Department, with college credit for work dene in debating. One of the greatest drawbacks with which the council has had to contend has been a lack of funds. In fact, up until the beginning of this year the only money available was that donated by the Student Council. However, Mr. Cohen was recently suc- cessful in securing contributions from some public-spirited citizens in Wilmington. It is to be hoped that in the near future the University will see its way clear to allow the Debating Council an appropriation commensurate with the important werk it is CArrying on. The present members of the Debating Council are: Philip Cohen, President; Sam- uel Handloff, Manager; Leslie Moore, Joseph D, Craven, Isaac Quillen, Lawrence Elliott and Frederick Whitney. 4 161 - ke To be or not to be: that is the guestion: Whether 'tiz nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take armys against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?

This ene play was a revue, the third and last editien of the famous ' Smax and Crax. The edition was written by James Grant and met with few huzzas when it took to a prolonged tour through the sticks. The show opened cold in Milford before an audience of twenty people. After being practically driven out of Milford, the Thespians drove on to the spacious theatre-loving towns of Harrington, Georgetown, Lewes. and Oxford. In Lewes, the boys pulled through financially but the townsfolks did not seem pleased with this minature 'Gai Paris troupe. When the preduction finally arrived in Newark, the following men were left in it: 'Scoop Hubert, dancer par excellence; Tiny Givan, star, and the only one who refused to shift scenery; 'Herb Clark and his 4 164 3 I o banjo; Charlie Rosenberg and his violin; E.

It is probably the part which 5 comes back to us mest vividly and which endears most the memeories of our college days. During the year of 1926-1927, Delaware College surpassed its reputation for brilliant fraternal formal dances and other social functions. Each year, it seems, the Delaware spirit of hospitality grows warmer and warmer. Ewery true Delaware man becomes imbued with this spirit which is the pervading atmosphere about the Campus. s it any wonder that the social functions of Delaware College are such brilliant affairs.? Old College. majestic in its aged silence, is a witness to it all. It neither condones nor disapproves the fantastic couples adept in the Terpsichorean arts; Old College remains indifferent to the unrestrained hilarity which seems to contradict the very sacredness of the place, Could it but speak, what a wealth of memories would be conjured up! The individual, however, helds the key to that sterehouse of memories; once having participated in the social life at Delaware, he never forgets; Old College will never let him forget. Thanksgiing Dinner he eighth annual Thanksgiving dinner, given by the Student Council of the Uni- versity of Delaware, was held in the Commons of Old College on Tuesday evening, November twenty-third. These dinners are one of the features of the fall season, and this one was greatly enjoved by a large number of students and guests. lhe menu, was prepared under the direction of Miss Marian Skewis, dietitian at the college, and was served by student waiters. John E. Harper, president of the Student Council, was toastmaster, Serving on the reception committee with Mr. Harper were the following other members of the Council: Robert W. McKelvey, Mark N. Donohue, James W. Grant, James E. Wilson, Fred B. Creamer, David 5. Loveland, Richard W. French and Edgar P. Reese. Invocationwas given by the Rev. O, E. Jones, and benediction by Rev. H. Everett Hallman. During the dinner there were a number of musical selections by Wilmingten artists. Short talks were given by Dr. Walter Hullihen, Dean George E. Dutton, Dr. Claude L. Benner, of the University Facutly; A. G. Wilkinson. business administrator, and Charles E. Grubb, president of the Delaware Alumni Association. Some of the guests at the dinner included Dr. G. A. Harter, Mr, and Mrs. George Carter, Mr. and Mrs. William P. White, Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Evans. Mrs. Everett C. Johnson, Dean Winifred J. Rebinson, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Taglor, Miss Marjorie Johnson, Miss Margaret Satterfield, Miss Jean Middleton, and others. November Dance he November Dance of the University of Delaware was held in the Armory under the auspices of five fraternities, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Emlion, Theta Chi, Kappa Alpha, and Phi Kappa Tau. The decorations of the women's college Hallowe'en Dance were used, and with the fraternity banners the hall was very attractive. A feature of the dance was the fraternity encores. Each fraternity was given an encore -4 169 - I r:tg-.; when only those who were members of that fraternity danced. Refreshments were served during intermission. Madden's Orchestra furnished the music. The patronesses were: Mrs. George L. Townsend, Mrs. Francis A. Cooch, Mrs. Thomas F. Manns, Mrs. Harry L. Bonham, and Miss Parker. Stgma Nu Formal ld College Hall was the gay scene of the annual formal dance of Delta Kappa Chapter of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. The decorations consisting of helly and Christmas trees gave a real Christmas touch to the dance. A novel feature of the decorations was a winter scene fixed upon the north wall of the Commens: suround- ed by snow-drifts, a miniature hut whose flickering light seemed to becken to the storm- bound traveler. A huge snow man staring from a corner failed to chill the pep of Geerge Madden's Orchestra, which furnished the music for the occasion. About one-hundred couples, many of them wvisitors, attended the dance. The patronesses were: Dean Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs. F. A. Cooch, Mrs. H. L. Bonham, Mrs. George E. Dutton, Mrs. Edith L. Stroud, Mrs. T. C. Edwards, Mrs. W. L. Grier. Mrs. John Harper, Mrs, C. W. Hawke, Mrs. Eh.lfi Strahorn, Mrs. C. C. Hubert, Mrs. H. P. Williams, Mrs. J. 5. Wilson, and Miss rding. Junior Prom id-year examinations over, and the Junior Prom to be looked forward tol Such were the happy thoughts of the poor over-worked Delaware man a week before February eleventh. The dance was held according to the custom in the Gold Ballroom of the Hotel duPont Biltmore in Wilmingten, from the hours of nine until two. Decorations, in view of the beauty and ornateness of the ballreom, were limited to Delaware banners and spotlight effects. James E. Wilson, president of the Class of 1928, led the Grand March. The favers which featured the dance were attrac- tive manicuring sets in appropriate colors and with the Delaware seal and title of the dance embossed in gold en them, The Patronesses were: Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Dean Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs, Charles A. McCue, Mrs. Charles B, Evans, Mrs. Everett C. Johnson, Mrs. Rodney Sharp, Mrs. George E. Dutton, Mrs. Robert P. Robinson, Mrs. Norris N. Wright, Mrs. Pierre 5. duPont, and Mrs. Harry L. Bonham, Sigma Phi Epsilon Formal e eighteenth annual formal dance of the Delaware Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was held on the evening of Friday, February eighteenth, inOld College Hall, from nine until two. The dance was attended by eighty couples, among which there were several invited guests and alumni. Old College was effectively decorated in red and white colors in keeping with the idea of St. Valentine's Day. Grotesque life-size figures in the formal dress of the early eighties stood out with mar- velous effectiveness on the panels of the Commons. Ruffy-faced hearts scorned, ap- proved, and laughed at the young man with an air of pride and sufficiency ,at the young lady content and secure in his arms. Dim lights, almest crepusculian in their effect, only served to enhance the charm and the enchantment of George Kelly's music. At midnight refreshments were served in the West Wing Dining Hall. The favers consisted in attractive leathern bags for which co-eds find so many uses. The invited patronesses were: Mrs. Hullihen. Mrs. Dutton, Dean Robinson Mrs. Rowan, Mrs. Levis, Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Francis, Mrs. Gibney, Mrs. Paine, Mrs. Johnsen, Mrs. Townsend, Mrs. Carter, and Miss Taylor. Phi Kappa Tau Formal he second annual formal dance of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Phi Kappa Tau Fraternity was held in the Commons of Old College, March fourth. There was no theme followed in decorating the Hall, but that is just what made fer the rovelty of the affair. Everything was ablaze with orange and vellow. One could hardly recognize the Commens after so much embellishment had taken place. And everyboady was in such good spirits! And, as usual, Madden's Orchestra furnished more than enough pep to make it one of the best dances of the season. About seventy-five couples attended the dance, among which were many visiters. A buffet supper was served in West Wing at midnight. The patronesses were: Mr. T. F. Manns, Mrs. C. A, McCue, Mrs. W. P. Bearty, Miss Elizabeth Kelley, Miss Beatrice Hartshorn. Theta Chi Formal Ipha Xi Chapter of Theta Chi Fraternity held their fourth annual Dinner Dance in the Commens of Old College, March twenty-fifth, from the hours of seven until two. The hall was very uniquely decorated in colours most suggestive of Spring. The lights were dimmed, and the atmosphere was one of Spring twilight. An improvised thatched roof covered the Commons, and after intermission streamers and serpentines gave a jungle -like effect to the dance. Shorter did the rest. The charm of his music, and the spotlight effects on the jungle creepers. made this dance a mem- orable cne for the Oxen and their guests. The programs were in brown leather with the Fraternity seal embossed in gold upen the outer cover. The invited patronesses were: Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Dean Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs. G. E. Dutten, Mrs. C. O. Houghton, Mrs, J. G. Lewis, Mrs. H. L. Bonham, Mrs. H. E. Mewham, Mrs. Wesley Evyer, and Mrs, C. L. Beck, Kappa Alpha Formal he twenty-second annual Dinner Dance of Kappa Alpha Fraternity was held Friday evening. April twenty second. in the Armory, from the hours of nine until two. Prior to the dance, a formal dinner was served in Old College. The big drill hall at the Armory was decorated in Japanese garden style, with festoons Y1927 BLUE HEWN $ of vari-colored moss hung from lights and from windows around the hall. The scenic effect was especially attractive: here was a wisteria strung pagoda in which George Madden was putting out some wonderful music; there green gold gods and fiery dragons spurting flames lurked in corners and inauspicious places. The whole scene resembled a Manchurian palace. About one hundred and twenty couples attended the dance. The invited patronesses were: Mrs. Walter Hullihen, Mrs. G. E. Dutton, Dean Winifred J. Robinson, Mrs. J. Pilling Wright, Mrs. Walter H. Steel, Mrs. MNorris M. Wright, Mrs. James C. Hastings, Mrs. George L. Townsend, Mrs. Everett C. Johnson Mrs. Charles B. Evans, Mrs. Albert S.

FORSTBURG FRAZER FIELD 4 173 - Football Season of 1925 he Football season for 1925 opened with twe new coaches, Forstburg of Franklin and Marshall, and Myers of Brown. Bill McKelvie, Seck Jackson, and 'Check Gibson, three out- standing stars of previous years, had been lost by graduation. Huck Kramer, giant center and captain-elect, had broken his wrist a few weeks before college opened and consequently was unable to participate in the training camp and early season activities. The letter men that were on hand for the new season were; Captain Kramer, Lohmann, Terbert, Owens. Creamer, Hubert. Weggenmann Reybold, Beatty, Wootten, and Cherpak. Stem' Atkins was Manager and Mark Donchue Assistant Manager. Thus, with few seasoned veterans back, a stiff schedule ahead, new ceaches to become accustomed ta. and Captain Kramer unable to lead bis teammates, Delaware's prospects looked uneertain to say the least. By the time for the opening game, about sixty men were working out daily fighting far po- sitions on the team.

Delaware: 6 Ursinus: 2 Ursinus was Delaware's second opponent. The team showed a far superior brand of foothall compared to that played against 5t. Joseph's. This was especially true of the line. Deelaware's score was the result of two perfect drop-kicks by Fritz Creamer, n rter for the Blue and Gold. Mear the end of the first quarter, a Ursinus back fumbled and gogu qxcnv:rad on the run.

Ursinus had advanced the ball to Delaware's 0-yard line by trick plays and line plunges. ware held four downs on her three yard line. At this 5'85: of the game, gmmer used excellent judgment which probably saved the game for the Blue and Creamer, standing samewhat back of his cwn goal, received the ball in kick formation. Instead of kicking into the treacherous wind, he fell on the ball, giving Ursinus twe points rather than a pessibility of six or seven, The entire Delaware line played excellent feotball. In the backfield, Creamer, Loveland and Wootten showed up well. Delaware: 0 Swarthmore: 2 On October 17, the fighting Blue and Gold team handed the football world one of the seasen's surprises by holding the strong little 'Quakers toa 2 to 0 score. Despite the fact that Swarthmore was a heavy favorite to win the contest, it was a tough game for the Blue Hen's Chicks 1o lose, The score came in the final momenis of the game after Delaware had withstood the onslaught of those brilliant backs, Wilcox and Evans. and had, in a great many instances. thrown them for losses. The Swarthmore game marked the return of Captain Kramer and Scoop Hubert. These two men, crippled by early season injuries, had been spectators up until this game. Their return was cover- ed with glory as they were both mainstays in stopping the Swarthmore chargers. The break of the game that gave Swarthmore the tussle came in the closing minutes. Creamer fumbled a Swarthmore punt on our thirty-yard line and Palmer recovered, A brilliant twenty-yard run by Wilcex gave Swarthmore a first down on the ten-yard line. Delaware, showing that same fight- ing spirit that she had displayed throughout the entire game, refused to budge and held for four downs, taking the ball on the three-yvard line. Here Creamer's punt was blocked by Seymour, the Garnet left end. The ball went into the crowd which had surged out into the end zone of the field and when the mass of plavers who dove for it was finally disentangled, Richards had the ball. There was some question as to the play but the officials decide upon a safety and gave Swarthmore two points. Shartly after this play, the game ended. I e :r.qu ?;74, BLUE HEN $ o -..; . m it 3 4 175 p- The defensive play of Delaware against the veteran team coached by Roy Mercer is a never-to-be: forgatten feat. Delaware stopped such stars as Ned Wilcox, Pete Richards. Castle, and Evans. Captain Huck Kramer led his coharts in a manner most befitting ts a Captain and covered himself with glory as well as Swarthmore players. The spirit displayed by the team was excellent, and they fought in truz Delaware style. Delaware: 6 St Johns: 7 The defeat at the hands of St. Johns was a great surprise as well as a great disappointment to Delaware's followers. For the last three years we have lost te the Johnnies when our teams have been far superior to theirs, The game was played in a dewnpeur of rain which made it difficult for either side to hold the slippery pigskin. On six different occasions, Delaware's line broke through to bleck St Johns kicks, but not on one occasion did they recover the ball after blacking the kick. Delaware practically gave St. Johns the game. Shortly after the game had started, the Johnnies had the ball in mic.field. The ball was snapped ta Lutz, 5t. Johns halfback, and, as he stwrted to run through the left side of Delaware's line, the Umpire blew his whistle for a Delaware offside. The Delaware plavers hesitated for a mament, thinking the ball dead, bur Lutz kept on. When our players finally realized that the Umpire's whistle did not govern the play, Creamer was the only man between Lutz and the goal line, Creamer tackled him and slowed him up long enough for another Delaware man to down him en cur three-yard line. Dugan put the ball over and kicked the gaal for St. Johns, The touchdewn for the Blue and Gold came in the final minutes of play as a result of a long forward Creamer to Weggenmann, the latter running 20 yards to score. Creamer missed the goal. Delaware: 24 Upsala: 7 Displeased with the showing in the 5t Johns game, Coach Forstburg made many changes in the Delaware line-up to send a revamped team against Upsala Delaware had Upsala on the defensive from the start. Forstburg's 'pony backfield did good werk. but they did not have the Eumh 1o put aver any touchdowns, Loveland scored a touchdown en a farward, and Lohmann and k each blocked Upsala kicks to fall on the ball for touchdowns. Creamer kicked twe drop-kicks. Upsala ss::lred against Delaware's third team. Barkley, Lohmann. Coppock. and Leveland played best for ElavWare, Delaware: 13 Juniata: 6 In this game with Juniata College the wearers of the Blue and Gald held the upper hand through- out. The Pennsylvanians were powerless against Delawares line, although they did run our ends to advantage. Twice Juniata put the ball into dangerous territary by end runs and clever forward passes. Our scores came as a result of straight football. Weggenmann, Hubert, and Loveland alternated in carrying the ball. Weggenmann, went over for both scores. Capt. Kramer played his usual brilliant game! at center, Loveland, Weggenmann, and Coppeck also played exceptionally well. Juniata made her score in the last quarter as a result of the long pass thrown 1o Kelley who, catching the ball on the run, had a clear field all the way to the goal line. 4 176 3 TS B T R S S e y Delaware: 0 Haverford: 18 Delaware suffered its third defeat of the seasen at the hands of its long-standing rivalHaverford. Delaware went inta the game with two important changes in her line-up Cherpak was at quarter in place of Creamer whose injury kept him out of the game, and Captain Kramer was back at his old pos- iticn at center. The Blue and Gold got off to a good start and in four minutes time had the ball an the Haverford 10-yard line as a result of runs by Loveland and Weggenmann. In the shadow of their own goal posts, Haverford presented an impenetrable defense. Cherpak attempted a drop-kick which was blocked and recovered by Haverford, Mear the close of the second period Haverford, by the line bucks and runs of Webster, Middleten, and Lambert. carried the ball from their own 35-vard line to Dielaware's ?oa! where Webster took the pigskin over for Haverford's first touchdown. Again, in the early part of the second half, Webster blocked Hubert's kick and Buselle scooped up the ball and went over for the second six points. The third teuchdown was made near the end of the game am an inter- cepted pass Delaware: 0 Dickinson: 23 Held scoreless in the first quarter by a fighting, aggressive Blue and Gold team. Dickinson unleashed a fieree arrack in the second quarter to land two touchdewns, Bocks and Harter registered the two touchdowns for Haverford, Books kicking both goals. In the final period, Books scored his second touchdown and goal kick. Late in the game Woetten dewned the ball behind his own goal line for a safety and the final score. Delaware gained most by the aerial route whereas Dickinson's mainstay wis displayed in end runs. Meither team showed a consistent defense. The light, wiry Blue Team put up a plucky fight against the crushing attacks of a heavy Red and White Eleven. Kramer was a pillar of defensive strength. Weggenmann, Hubert, and Coppock had a big day in the line. Although we last to Swarthmore, Haverford and Dickinson, the season was not as disastrous a might be inferred. . Light material and heavy injuries greatly handicapped the team and coaches. The Blue and Geld put up a fighting game the entire season, and, with the exception of the St. Johns game, acquitted themselves well. '?he stellar playing of Captain Kramer was the high light of Del- aware's season. Huck was never stopped by any eppenent, At the end of the season he was named by many sports writers as their selection for the center pesition en their all-star teams, The 'D was awarded to the following men; Captain Kramer, Torbert, Owens, Reybold, Glasser, Draper. Lohmann, Weggenmann, Wootten, Hubert, gherpak. Creamer, Hanson, Coppock. Laveland, Rese, Patchell, Davis, Barkley, and Manager Atkins.

The team suffered greatly frem injuries in this opening contest. Diraper, who started at fullback and showed great prospects was put out for the seasan with a broken ankle.

Swarthmere gained 21 firsr downs e cur four, The little Quakers employed every means of offensive and succeeded in amassing seven touchdowns, five goals after touchdowns, and a safety, for a total score of 47 peints. Twas Dave Loveland whe prevented the Blue and Gald from being white- washed. The lad intercepted Garber's forward and dashed madly 87 yards for Delaware's lone touch- down. Rose kicked the goal. Fete Richards, of Swarthmore, was the sutstanding player of the game, being all over the field, distinguishing himself in almest every play. Delaware: 10 Gallaudet: 7 The Gallaudet team from Washington furnished strong opposition and the game proved to be one of the best and hardest fought this season. The mutes, a streng and much heavier combination, were u tricky bunch and pulled off several plays that were consistent ground gainers. In the second quarter, Dyer threw a long pass and, because of interference, the officials gave the ball ta Gallaudet on Delaware's three-yard line. Byouls took it over in two plays and Killigan kicked the goal. The Blus and Geold scored in the third quarter when Creamer booted a drop-kick from the 20yard line.

Wic Lichtenstein was honared with the ea taincy of the team. Aleng with Captain Vic were Carroll, Jacohson, Mannix. and Creamer of the squad of the previous season: the Holt twins and Didesephs were new faces conscripted from the Freshman Class. The five that finally was given the privilege of shouldering the basketball burden weathered through one of the most severe sterms ever encountered by a Delaware combine. When the salvaging of the worn-out ship of basketball was dene. the estimate of the damage was in the nei borhood of twelve defeats out of fourteen starts. Although the record of the team is quite miserable, the defeats are not justified by the calibre of play demonstrated in some of the traditional barttles. In no small number of games the Delawareans ware nosed out by a lone field geal, Delaware: 35 Temple: 29 In the initial centest, the Blue and Geld dribblers, following the example of their crafty leader . sent the Temple Team away with a 33 1o 29 defeat, The play of the Delaware five was not as good as it might have been, bur, considering the opening game and the ultimate result, the game was chalked up as a good win with expectations of decided improvement. Delaware: 20 Dickinson: 32 Delaware: 19 Ursinus: 23 The Dickinson chargers and our friends of Collegeville were the next games of the ssason, Both of these games found the Delaware team in a period of depression. Dickinson romped away eith a 32 10 20 win, while Ursinus tock the measure of the Lichenstein crew to the tune of 23 to 19, In the latter game the Delaware team played a classy brand of ball but were unable 1o check a last minute rally. A pair of field goals teak the game away from the Mewarkers when it was least expected. Deleware: 25 Drexel: 15 Captain Vic and 'Billy Carroll picked the night of the Drexel game te do a lirtle sharp shoot- ing. To the satisfaction of all present the pair of tossers divided ninetesn points between them. The Eigue and gold five broke into the limelight by annexing this game by the score of 25 to 15, The con- test was an exhibition of o resurrected quintet. 1t was their best.game, thus far, of the seasan. The Forstburg chargers looked keen in this game and things loomed bright for the future. Delaware: 20: Swarthmore: 24 The gym was filled to capacity to witness the traditional battle with Swarthmore, The rejuven- ated spirit which had awakened in the Delaware team in the Drexel battle again put in its appearance. The Blue and Gold five battled the husky Carnet team te a standstill in the first twenty minutes of play. With the Delaware team working to perfection and the defense of the combine well-farmed, it looked like a big Delaware night. The score at the end of the first session found the Swarthmore team a poor second with a 14 to 5 score against them. The play of the Delaware team in the second was the antithesis of the form in the first half. The Garnet five cut leese with an attack that swept the Delaware defense before them. The Delawareans slipped into a prefeund state of lethargy while the Mainliners ran wild. The result of this hectic game was that Delaware trailed by four points when the final whistle scunded, i Delaware: 21 Haverford: 27 Haverford was the next to administer the dregs of defeat to the home club. The 41 to 20 defeat handed to the Haverford crew in the previous yvear was avenged by a 27 to 2 setback. Thz Blus and Gold combine shewed signs of speed in this game but their good form was short-lived. Delaware: 25 Davis-Flkins: 35 The Forstburg team again bowed to supremacy when the Davis-Elkins five trotted out five sin-footers wha knew the game ta the tee. Flashing seme of the speed which was demenstrated by the Fordham teamn in the previous year, the Southerners romped away with a 35 to 25 wvictory. Delaware: 15 Dickinson: 20 Dickinson duplicated the game played in the earlier part of the szason and handed the home bays a 20 1o 15 defear. The same old story was told after the game. The Bluz and Gold could not con- tinue their fast play for the full forty minutes. The Dickinson crew was outplayed in ream-work in the first half, but the surplus of height told the tale in the last minutes of battling. The trip rerth again brought disaster to the Delawareans. The climate failed 1o E:: with the local artists and the result was a trio of defeats for the club. Brooklyn Poly, 5t. Johns of klyn, and Stevens handed reverses to the Blue and Geld. Lichenstein, who had distinguished himself as the lead- ing scorer cn the team, was disabled and was unable to ta mrlrr in the games en the northern trip. :I'nhrgtgle scoring ace out of the game, and the team-play off the defeats were not surprises to the 17 OWErsS. Delaware: 18 Haverford: 22 This disastrous seasen was brought te a clese when the Haverford team brought the string of defears 1o twelve. The Delaware team led througheut the first half and the early part of the second session. Once again it looked as though the Blue and Gold would finish with flying colars. The expec- ut:msur:he Delaware fallowers were shattered when Mr. Logan of the Haverford team tossed in a trie af twe-timers frem mid-foor. This performance sent the locals behind with a four peint score22 to 18, Al thammmmnfthswumsuh'tmdhyD:laware,lthndltsvl.iue The exper- ience gained by the Sophomores and Freshmen on the squad will later be of great value to the team.

There was Caprain Fn:: Creamer, Jm:te nuph. and the t twins from last wear. Lichenstein, cap- last year, was in school but had announced his desire to give up the game, due to an injury mmnnd in the previous vear. The Freshman Class presented a combine which later to be as fast as the Varsity. Barton and LeCarpentier of Wilmingtm High. along with Milne, ill, and Taylor, completed the five. With these ten men as a nucleus, Coach Forstburg began his work. A two-team combination was the design of the Coach. Although the squad was over-stocked with speed, it lacked the graatest re. qui.:i.t.a of basketballheight. Of the ten men, Jaquette was the only man who managed to see over six-foot mark. 1t was muugt. early in the season, that the two-team combination would be able to :dfset the I.'p:lt af height, but this turned aut to be a mere illusion. The test difficulty of the seasen five men who could manipulate together to advantage. matm men were of equal cal- in abality was sa shght that many changes were made to find the five that could wnrk with precisian, Philadelphia Textile was the first on the Blue and Geld schedule. In the initial game of thz szason the Delawareans tock an easy win, leaving Textile on the far end of a 28 to 19 score. Barten playing his first game of college baskerball was foremost in the teamplay of the Blue and Gold and likewise the leading scorer of the game. The two-team system worked well in the opening game and the Del- awareans locked like world-beaters. Delaware: 29 Phidadelphia Osteopathy: 11 Ostecpathy failed to furnish worthy ition for the Delaware Quintet, In a listless game, the Philadelphians went under an avalanche of field goals when every member of the Delaware team scored. The Blue and Gold team again locked good, but the opposition was so weak that the true caliber of the local five remained an unknown quantity. Delaware: 28 George Washington: 29 Down Washington way, the Delaware team experienced its first defeat. After battling for forty torrid minutes, the kers were forced to submit toa 29 to 28 defear. The Wl.i'l'unttm combine was one of the strongest quintets on the Delaware schedule, and the game proved that the Forstburg team weuld be equal to the task of pulling through a tough schedule. The Blue and Gald played a wnm:ln'ful game throughout the allotted minutes, Delaware: 54 Western Maryland: 15 Back to the plus column was the path of the Blue and Gold after their sensational victory over the Western-Marvland cagers. Didosephs was the big gun in the scoring department in this game. He played a clever floor game and figured high in the scoring column, This win encouraged the followers of the team as the passers were about to embark on a difficult schedule through the nerth. Delaware: 19 Army: 25 Again the trip north proved the Memesis of the Delaware aggregation, Afrer playing nothing less than sensational ball against the Strong Army and Pratt teams. the home club was foreed to take the sponge in both games The highly reputed Army team received one af the biggest scares of the season on the night of the Delaware game, In this battle the defense of Creamer and LeCarpentier offered more than keen op- pasition to the much advertised Army forwards. At the end of the first half the Cadets were trailing the Delawareans by a field goal. The second half was a repetition of the first session, Hoewever, in the last few minutes. the Army team drew to the lead and remained ahead in tha home stretch and thus tock 'dki:bgnmt by three points, In this contest, the guarding of Creamer and LeCarpentier was most remarkable - Delaware: 17 Pratt: 21 Ancther superior team took the Delaware team inte camp. Owver in New York. the Blue and Geld fell before the speedy Pratt club. Although the score was comparatively close, the superiority of the Mew Yorkers was displayed throughout the battle, Delaware: 21 Drexel: 23 In this game the playing of the Delaware team was a disappointment, to say the least. The form and fight that the team displayed in the games against more superior teams of the north was absent an the night of the Drexel affair. After passing and shocting in a slovenly manner for forty minutes, the whistle came as a god-send to end the worst exhibition put on by the Delaware team thus far. The game ended with the Drexel team having a margin of 2 points ever the Mewark combine. Delaware: 32 St Johns: 13 A complete revision of the Delaware team was made after the Drexel game. A new team trotted out en the floer to represent the University in the game against the Annapolis five. If ever a change worked it was an this evening, The five youthful passers made everything they shot, and the grand finale was a big score against the caders. Delaware: 16 Mount St. Hary's: 29 The boys from the mountains lived up to the expectations of those whe follow the Malloy-coached team. They had little trouble in handing the Fom.mg crew a 29 to 16 defeat. The game was a fast and hard fought battle, but, as the local team was against a squad of clever and experienced tossers, the defeat was invitable: Delaware: 22 St Johns: 14 St. John's again fell before the Delaware team in a listless game at Annapalis. Although thecadets were represented by a team of much betver calibre than at their first meeting with the Mewarkers, it failed to make a good showing. Milne showed excellent form in this game. Delaware: 32 Penna. Military Academy: 33 After a weird exhibition against the P, M. C. a tien, the Mewarkers were let down with a 33 to 32 defeat. Save LeCarpentier, the local team was altogether off color. This small defensive start kept the Farstburg machine in the running throughout the game. His speedy floorwork and lang shots were the only redeemable feature of the play of the lecals. LeCarpentier was responsible For fifteen of his team's points, Delaware: 18 Swarthmore: 26 Swarthmore appeared while the Delaware team was in an unaveidable slump. Taking advantage of everything that came their way, the mainliners chalked up a 26 to 18 win. The game was ane of those typical, traditional battles between the two institutions. It was marked. however, by very pooe sparts- manship on the part of some of Delaware's followers, The Student Body should be cautioned against such eceurrences. The Delaware team was often in striking distance of winning the fray. However, when the eppartunity presented itself, the Swarthmore team staged a beautiful rally which sent their team far to the fore. Delaware: 15 F.and H.: 18 With a record of fifteen wins and four defeats, the Franklin and Marshall team payed their respects ta the Delaware team by taking away with them.an 18 ta 5 victory which was snatched out of the hands of the Blue and Gold aggregation in the last minutes of play. The Delaware Crew had things their way the first half with the Lancaster team, and at half time was enjoying a lead of two points. But, true ta the games in the past, several changes played havoc with the Delaware team. The Blue and Gald was tnable to check a last minute rally which put the game in the bag far the Pennsylvanians. Up to the time of going to press, three games remain to be plaved, We have vet to meet Haverfard. Western-Maryland and Ursinus on the wooden ways. t is unsafe to pick letter-men before the season ends, but indications are that all of the eleven regulars will receive their letters. The team has fought well and has gained valuable experience for years to come, Conditions surrounding the team have been mere than discouraging, and we consider that they have done well, 4187 3 Baseball-Season of 1925 he season of 1925 gave promise of being one of the best in the history of baseball at Delaware. When Dick Hoch, who was a letter man for the past three years at Delaware, decided to enter Temple in arder to study medicine. the honor of the captaincy was given to Jimmy Mannix, ane of the fastest outfielders in local history. On March 11, Manager Herbert lckler issued uniforms to the squad. Mannix, Pryor, Hunt and Chee'' Gibsen were the only varsity men back from the previous year. The following day, the initial practice of the season was held on Frarer Field: it was very light. Freshman candidates were nu- merous, of which Fred Creamer and Victar Lichenstein showed up the best. Subsequent practices gave promise of a well-balanced team, with Pryor, Beck. Roth, and Harper holding down the pitching mound. In the opening game with Philadelphia Textile on the local diamond, Lefty Pryor pitched a rather listless game until the last four innings.when he tightened up and did not allow a man te reach first base, while his ream-mates batted in enough runs to win, 6-2. In the second game, Swarthmore wallcped Delaware 1 1-0, knocking Pryor cut of the box in the fourth inning, Dickinson wen from the Blue and Geld after a serious error by hunt with twa men on, 2-1. While on a two day trip to Mew York and vicinity, Delaware split even in the two games played, winning frem Stevens Tech 5.4, but losing to Pratt Institute 10-0. On May 13, the Maval Academy was very lucky to win from us 11-10, by putting over the winning runs in the ninth inning. In this game, Wic Lichenstein garnered five hits and scored three runs. We split even in the next two games, winning from Drexel by the score of 10-5, and lasing to Ur- sinus 4-3 on Frazer Field. Saint Joseph's was white-washed in the following game, 8-0; Pryer allowad but four scattered hits. In the game with Georgetown University at Washington, Delaware suffered her worst defear of all time, losing 33-0. An Associated Press Dispateh said thar this score established a record in collegiate circles. What could have been the trouble, no one is willing to say, and details of this harrowing conflict are mrercifully lacking, The game teck a lot of pep out of the locals for the impaortant game of the seasan, with Haverford at Mewark. Wken the game was called by Umpire Smith, and the eppesing team trotted out on the field afrer having held Delaware scoreless in the first inning, spectators groaned and predicred dire results for the Blue and Gold warriors. But at the end Delaware, was leading by the significant score of 11-1. Captain Mannix went on a batting rampage in this game, getting fowr hits and a walk out of six trips to the plate! In addition, he had four putouts and twe assists. Cut of the thirteen games played, the Blue Hen's Chicks won six and lost seven. The team had an in and cut season, locking especially good ar times and just the reverse at others, With the ex- ception of the Georgetown game, Pryor pitched every game. and, with better support, would have wan more often than he did. Captain Mannix, Pryor, lckler, Lichtenstein, and Ash played steady games all season, but errors on the part of other players were the direct cause of at least four defears. Then, too, the lack of capable pitchers to take their turn on the hill with Pryvar, or to relieve him when nec- essary, was a determining factor in the defeats. e R e 1- e BaseballSeason of 1926 n March 21, the baseball squad was put through its first practice session under Coaches Forst- burg and Meyers, both men rew at Delaware. An abundance of material in the Freshman class made the prospects especially bright for a banner season, and Captain Jimmy Mannix, again elected by his fellows, was expected to lead a team on the feld in the first game that would come through the season with few defeats. In commenting en the prospects, Ceach Forstburg said, ' The possibilities are exceptionally good, providing the pitchers come across. With one or twe good pitchers to help Pryor. the ace of the previous year. believe that this will be accomplished. OFf last year's varsity. the enly cnes lest by graduation were Gibson, third base, and lckler, catcher. This left the entire aut- field, censisting of Mannix. Cherpak, and McKelvey intact, while Prettyman, Weotten, Lichenstein, Hunt. and Pryor were practically sure of making wvarsity positions. Prevented by cold and rainy weather, the team progressed slowly. The candidates were forced merely to throw a ball arcund, or jog around the track. In a few days the new diamond was ready, and as soon as the team moved on it, practice began in earnest. On Thursday, April 12, the team returned frem its annual invasion of Southern soil with an empty sack. Qut of the three games scheduled in Maryland and Yirginia, two resulted in defeats for the locals and the odd game was called off because of rain. Playing first at Hampden-Sidney, the Blue and Gold lose 6-1, gathering but three hits off Fimmerman's delivery. Wednesday's game with V. P. 1, was called off at the last moment by the heme management following a heavy rain. Later in the afterncon, belief was expressed thart the field could be sanded and the game played, but by this time the players of both teams were scattered around the campus. and could not be brought together in time to play the game. 4 189 p- SRR T B STLE e PSS SRR SO N S e L R 2 L i Q 'ig:rg? BLUE BEWN 5$J On the way home, Delaware stopped off in Annapolis long encugh to drop the second game of the trip to 5t. Johns, 9-5, after a weird eighth inning. Five runs on three hits was the amazing performance of the Blue and Geld batters. The sudden collapse of Roseberry, the Maryland ace, in the first part of the eighth, brought runs trooping in through free passes. But in 5t. Johns half, Crossgrove lost hiscunning, and, aided by errors of his suppart. let in five runs, enough to sew up the game. Only six hits rang off Delaware bats during the entire trip. In the first hame game of the seasen, we nosed out Philadelphia Textile in the clesing innings 4-3, thus repeating the performance of the previous year, Pryor had seven strikecuts to his credit, and although he allowed eleven hits, they were well scattered, Jaguette. a Freshman, made his debur by shmmmgoutmhm.m;trmh,andhnddrrmwtmnh The game was free from errors, save for two committed by the visitors. On May 5, Delaware lost a loosely played game with Swarthmare, 17-7. Prettyman and Mannix starred for the locals. Swarthmore did its best work in the second inning. when they pounded Pryor from the bex and scored five runs. Mannix scored one run, and made four hits, Lippincett and Fex of Swarthmore had three hits each, In the first game of a two-day trip north, Stevens Tech lest to the Blue and Gold 17-2. On the fol- lowing day, Upsala defeated Delaware 7-5 in a game featured by the timely hitting of Cherpak. Ja- quette had a big day in the field with sixteen putouts and four assists, On the sixth day of May. we lost another to St. Johns, 8-2. Both teams hit hard and often, St. Johns usually falling safe, while the locals' swats travelled into the hands of the infielders. Pryor pitched a poor game, but had no incentive to do otherwise when his teammates were committing serious errars behind him. In the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings Delaware flled the bases, but could not Putting up a sorry exhibition of ball playving, Delaware bowed to the lads of the Maval Academy to the tune of 1-5.

A Delaware rally in the ninth was nipped by sharp infielding. Jaquette again starred with Mannix. In the closing game of the seasan, Delaware dropped te Ursinus 13-0. Pryor and Crossgrove were pounded unmercifully by the visiting sluggers. In l.ddmonmhmnghardhlt.hlnml pitchers had terrible suppart; Lichtenstein alorie made four errors. The season of 1926, from the standpoint of games won and lost, was the poorest in the history of this sport at Delaware, The locals won but two games. But despite this woeful record, followers of the game may console themselves with the theughts of a banner season in 1927, since there is great material in the Sephomore and Freshman classes which remains to be developed. o i Lewis Kramer, Caplain Richard Torbert Charfes Owens William Reybold William rrann Mazx Glasser Williarmm Draper Victor Lichtenstein, Capi.

We had enly five letter men remaining in scheol: France, MeEelvie, Baxter, Jackson, and Evans: but there were many promising candidates fram the Freshman Class. The student coaches worked laboriously with their material in preparation for the next meet with Philadelphia Textile on April 8 and their reward was an overwhelming victory with a score of B4-42. The features of the day were the shot-putting of McKelvie and the final sprint in the 880 vard dash by Tremaine, which brought him from a possible fourth place to a close wictery, During the last week of April. intensive practice was carried on in Frazer Field in perparation for the Penn Relays. Every man did his utmast to win a place on the squad, and at the end of the week Gregg, Loveland, Green, and Jones, with Tremaine as substitute .were picked for the relay team, and Baxter for the high jump. Delaware suffered her first defear on April 30, at Swarthmere, when we were beaten by a score of. 83-43. The opposing team carried practically all the first places in this contest held on a track of mud- France starred for Delaware by taking first place in both hurdles. Baxter alsa contributed greatly by capturing the high-jump. Delaware next met Drexel here and easily won 82-44. France and Me- Kelvie were the high scorers; thirteen points each to their credit, This was the last time that either of them would have the opportunity to compete for their beloved Delaware on Frazer Field, and their enviable records have done much to boost the scores throughout their life at college. Thus the season of 25 ended, having been conducted very sucessfull v by Manager Jones, Assistant- Manager Cannon, and Captain McKelvie. The season's record, though not exceptional, was very sat- isfactory, and no greater credit should be given any members than the student Ceaches whe, though inexperienced in dictating instructions, turned out a very creditable team, The seasons of '25 left four legacies around which its successors built a very accomplished team. The letter men whao returned to college were: Kramer, Evans, Loveland, and Jones. - f E Track Season of 1926 fiicial track practice wascalled by Coach Forstburg abour the last week of March, and Frazer Field saw several of its old stars back, togethzr with many rzcruits from the class of '29 Train- ing cclntmuad ror sl:-.ra.ral d;,ys and WAS th:'.l int!rru;nad hy l.':-.'itinu:'.Js u.'1.fll waulhtr. Kr:u'ntl'. who during his entire collegiate life has contributed greatly to Dzlawarz victories in field events was chosen as captain for the season of 1926, Manager Cannon, together with Assistant-Managzr Edwards, planned an intensive training period in preparation for the many difficult meets scheduled. Early in the season the relay team, which was to compete in the Annual Penn Relays, began warming up for their appearance at this big athletic carmival, which was te be held the third wezk in April, The team con- sisted of Steel, Loveland, Roser, and Evans. During the race, Delaware held closely to third place, but in the final relay was nosed out by the Haverford four. On April 27, Delaware suffered a miserable defeat on Frazer Field at the hands of Haverford when we were beaten by a score of 108-18. Loveland, whe won the 440 vard dash, was the enly man to cap- ture a first place. Two second places were taken: one by Tremaine in the 880, and the other by Roser in the 100 vard dash. Delaware. although making a good showing against the famed Swarthmore team, lost the mest en April 30 when Swarthmore scored B2 points against our 44. Although we were unable to takz a first place in any of the running events, we took second and third places in almost every ane. The Swarth- more team seemed to lack some of the power they exhibited at the Penn Relays; it fell down consid- erably in several events. The 100-yard dash, which opened the meet, was the most spectacular perform- ance of the day, Dutten, of Swarthmore, after making a very poor getaway, beat out a big field of Del- aware and Swarthmore runners and in the final spurt broke the tape about twe fest in front of Raser. The javelin throw was practically monopolized by Delaware when Captain Kramer exhibited the best throw witnessed on Frazer Field during the season. with a distance of 160 fezt. 9 inches. Garrett, a Freshman, whe promises 1o become ene of the greatest men in this event, tock second place with a throw of 160 feet. -4 193 p- The Annual Interscholastic meet which is held every year on Frazer Field rock place on May 8, Thirty-two schools from four states were entered, with a total of 350 contestants. On May 6. the Delaware squad went to Philadelphia for a dual meet with Drexel Institute, and came heme victorious with a score of 66-60. Competition was close: several times Drexel threatened Del- aware with dangerously close scores. Captain Kramer was the individual star of this hard fought meet, being high scorer with twoe wicteries and a second place in the weight events. He heaved the shot 37 feet 9 inches for a first place in that event and tossed the discus 102 feet 6 inches to capture honers in that event. He also gained a second place for Delaware in the javelin throw. In this event. Garrett tock first place with a throw of 152 feet 9 inches. In each event the honors were about equally divided between the two teams. Delaware's other first places were won by Beatty, Loveland, Paxson, and Tre- FTHLErE, We have left us from last yvear seven varsity men, Loveland, Beatty, Tremaine, Paxson, Garrett, Steel, and Jones, a very good nueleus arcund which to build cur team for 1927, We lost only two by graduation. There is also an abundance of track material in the first-year class, With this outlock, the future lecks bright indeed. 4194 3 $ - 1927 B LUE T'rack and Field Records 100-Yard Dash EL g.;qm:;ns 10 .

Lewis organized a team in the fall of 1925 but Tome School was the anly game playved because it was too late in the seasen to arrange a schedule. William B. Derrickzon, Jr., was appointed manager for 1926-27. e was able to secure games with good college soccer teamrs. These games were with Beacom's Business College, Haverford Junior Warsity, University of Pennsylvania Junior Varsity, Swarthmere, and Franklin and Marshall. Much interest was shown in practice during the fall of 1926. Ewvery practice day, there were as many as twenty-five can- didates out to try for the team. When the season began, we were handicapped by not having a coach who really knew the game of Soccer. Captain Bringhurst did his best at coaching for about two weeks. Eringhurst deserves much credit for his efforts in organizing Delaware's first soccer team. Finally, it was feund that there was a new faculty member at this University whe had played varsity soccer at Ambherst College. This man was Mr. O'Brien. He very willingly consented to give his services as Coach. Altheugh the men were all new to him, he was able to put the finishing touches on the eam before the season had got a good start. Mr. O'Brien gave the team confidence as well as some very hahlnht: insLnlctien. Delaware: 0 Beacom: 1 The first game of the season was with Beacom Business College. This team was very strong and went through the season undefeated. During this game, Delaware kept the ball mest of the time, but kicks for the goal were never effective. Beacom won the game when Collison headed a corner kick through the geal. 4 196 b 3 i 11927 BLOE HEN E Delaware: 0 Haverford Junior Varsily: 1 The Haverford game at Haverford showed a wonderful improvement in the team. Ewven though we lost by the score of 1 to 0, the team did very well considering that it played a team from a college that has ere of the best soccer teams in the country. Ryan, Reger, and Shert were the cutstanding stars for Delaware, Delaware: 1 Univ. of Penn. J. V's: 9 The game with the University of Pennsylvania Junior Varsity at River Field was quite a szt-back to the team. The fast playing by the Pennsylvania team had the Delaware team in a daze for the first two quarters. The third and fourth quarters were very fast and exciting. Delaware seemed to be able to stop the wonderful heading pass of their epponents. Roser, as usual, was fast with his dribbling. Eringhurst, Roser, and Ryan were very good en the defense. Hill sz ared thz oaly point whzn he drib. bled up and made a clean kick through the bars. Delaware: 1 Franklin and Marshall: 0 Since the game with Swarthmare was cancelled by the Athletic Cauncil, the finaj game was played with Franklin and Marshall at Lancaster, Delaware outplayed the F. and M., team thraughaut the whole game, but, on account of the slippery condition of the ground. was ablz to ssore enly one point. Prospects for Delaware's 1927 saccer team are very good. The sams team will bz back and, sincez socoer has now been introduced at Delaware, some good soccer candidates are expzated from the Class of 31, Soccer s one of our best outdoor sperts. Since it requires eleven men to play the game, it draws a large number of those men whe are not interested in other fall sports. Seccer should be placed on as firm a feundation as ether sports at this University. Manager Derrickson. although not having officially pested his schedule, is assured at this time of games with the following teams for the 1927 seasan: Swarth- mare, Franklin and Marshall, Beacom Business College, Haverford Junier Varsity, University of Penn- sylvania Junior Varsity, Western Maryland 2 games, and Wilmington Friend's Scheal, Swimming 1 the fallof 1925, two Ereshmen and a Sophemare, Edgar Reese, Bernard Maobis and William Reybold, began prometing the project of a swimming team at the University of Delaware These three students had been star swimmers at Wilmingten High School. Reese had been very successful in the crawl sprints; he placed second in the '507 at the Columbia Mational Interscholastics in 1925, Mobas was the best all around swimmer that Wilmingten High Schoel had produced: he captained the Wil- mington team during 1923-1924. Reybold was a relay and '220 swimmer of ability. Athletic Directar Frank Fors.tburg 5'p-gn5nred the idea of a swimming veam at its first suggestion and put the matter before the Athletic Council, who expressed interest, but who saw no way of financing the team. John Robbins was appainted to manage the team. Leroy Sparks, then coach of the Wilmington High School swimming team, was a nationally known authority on swimming. He had produced scores of excellent swimmers from only mediocre material. Mr. Sparks agreed to coach the team. Besides serving without salary, he so interested a prominent Delaware alumnus in the team that this alumnus gave the team two hun- dred dollars for its support. Since the University has no poel. arrangements wers made for the team to practice twice a week in the Wilmington Y. M. C. A. nk. Manager Robbins encountered many difficulties in arranging a schedule. Mest of the colleges had already completed their schedules; hence, three meets were all that could be secured. The first meet ever engaged in by a Delaware swimming team was with Swarthmore Caollege in Sharpless pool in January, 1926, Although Captain Reybeld and his men had practised as faithfully as conditions would permit, they were overwhelmingly defeated, 45-14. Delaware got nothing but third places except in the back-strake and the breast-streke events which Mobis won. The second meet was mare encouraging for Delaware's natatorial hopes. While on a northern trip, Catholic University met the Delaware team in the Y. M. C. A. pool in Wilmingten. The inability of the Cathalic U. Swimmers to adapt themselves ta the miniature pool, together with the imprevement of the team, brought the first and only victory to Delaware's first swimming team. The two teams were evenly matched. As was anticipated, Lee, of Catholic U, won both the 100 and ''220. and Nobis won both the 150 back- stroke and the '200 breast-stroke. The final result depended on the rzlay. The Delaware quartet, composed of Reese, Howell, Revbold, and Mobis, won by four feet. Feese came through beautifully with a first in the 40 and ancther second in the 220. The score was 33-26. The last match proved to be ancther one-sided defeat. Johns Hopkins wen, 44-15. Mobis scored the only Delaware first in the 150-vard backstroke. The 1926 season was, in itsell, a failure; but as a starter for the future it was unguesticnably a great success. Coach Sparks sowed the seeds of future triumphs. By his unusual technical skill and his compelling personality he aroused surprising interest in a spart that had to opezrate under trying conditions. The lack of a proper pool for practice and for staging meets was very discouraging. The 1927 season rolled around with the same peol handicaps. Mr. Sparks had gane to Battle Creek and the team was left without a ceach, which made its eutlosk rather dubseus, The Athletic Council accepted Mr. Forsthurg's proposal that Caprain Mobis be appeinted to coach the team. Again the season was opened with a meet against Swarthmore in Sharpless pool. Swarthmore had lost only one man by graduation. Delaware was considerably strenthened by the addition of three Freshmen along with Harry Maier, an upperclassman who had been ineligible the previous year. Boyer, Taylor, and Lattomus were the additions te the team from the Freshman Class. Boyer, besides Being ene of the leading scholastic fancy divers while in high schoal, had captainzd th: Wilmingtan High School team in 1925, Taylor was a distance and relay man, and Lattomus was a dash swimmer. The Delaware relayResse, Revbeld, Taylor, and Mobiswon with easz and therzby szared the fiest paints of the meet. From then on Delaware was never headed. The Bluz and Gald teak every event except the fifty in which Reese and Reybold were second and third respectively. Bayer won over both Thompson, and Mortan in the fancy dive. Tayler won the 440 with ease. Mabis again capturad the back-and breast-stroke races. He lowered the Swarthmore tank record in the back-stroke which he had made the previous yvear, The surprise of the meet was Harry Maier's victory in the 00-vard crawl. The score was 37-22. The second meet was another easy victory with Catheolic University as the losers. The meet this year was in Washington; the score was 40-19. Ewvery first place went to Dzlaware. The relay team made a tank record of 1;21.3 for 160 yards. - Reybold wen the 407 in 21,1 and the 100 in 1031, Bayer again won the dive and Taylor had the battle of his life in the 440 with the fast time of 6:03. Mobis made another tank record of 1:11 in the 100-yard back-stroke. In its shart life, the team has done ad- mirably.

The foundations of these courts were carefully built te insure proper drainage. The backstops are of heavy galvanized wire, the posts are the best that can be had and the nets are as heavy as those used in championship tournaments. Since these courts were not completed until after commencement, the team was forced to play its games in Mewark on the twa courts in the rear of Wolf Hall, or on the courts of the Women's College. The Season of 1926 Practice was started as scon as school opened in the fall of 1925, The only two courts in condition were in use from Monday merning until Saturday night. Creamer was again elected Caprain and he began 1o select a team from the varsity men of the previous year and the new candidates for the squad. Jones and Turner had been graduared: but Johnson had returned from the Foreign Study eourse in France and he, Vincent, and Hoffecker gave excellent promise of filling the gap caused by the leoss of these two letter men. Eastburn. a Freshman from Wilmington High School, showed up well in this pre- liminary practice. Delaware 1 - Haverford 5 The University of Delaware tennis team was defeated in the opening meet of the season against Haverford br a score of 5-1. The only victory scored for Delaware was the ene by Creamer over Cap- tain Marshall of Haverford in a singles match. Mene of the other matches went bevond straight sets. The Delaware defenders were Creamer, Johnson, Meredith, and Eastburn singles, and Creamer and Easthurn , Johnson and Hoffecker doubles.

The Delaware men in this meet were Johnson, Eastburn, ker, and Vincent singles, and Johnsan and Carrel, Haffecker and Eastburn daubles. 1927 BLUE HE Summary At graduation Delaware lost only one varsity manJohnsan. Three men were awarded letters in tennis at the close of the season: Creamer, Meredith, and Eastburn. These men will all return to Delaware in the fall to compose the nucleus of the 1927 squad. While the season of 1926 was not so successful for the Delaware tennis sguad from the point of view of matches wonout of a total of six matches played, twe were won, one was tied, and three were lostthe spirit of the team and the great interest aroused in the sport have well repaid the efforts of those who have worked to uphold Delaware on the tennis courts. Prospectus for the 1927 Season At the close of the previous season E. P. K. Meredith was clected to caprain the team next year Meredith was a varsity man during his sophemere and Junior years, and he is well prepared for this position of honer, With the four new courts and the reconditioning of the two in the rear of Wolf Hall, Delaware can more nearly accomodate all her tennis enthusiasts now than ever befare. In a practice tournament last fall, thirty-two men were entered. There were many others whe played for their own amusement, but who are not interested in winning athletic honors with their skill. These results show that there is mo lack of material from which to build up the squad for the 1927 season. The Freshman class is es- pecially rich in varsity material. The most promising first-year men are Pyle, Captain of Wilmingron High tennis team last year, Taylor, Lecarpentier, and Speakman. In anticipation of a fast team, meets have been scheduled with some of the strongest teams in the East. The completed schedule includes Drexel, University of Maryland, Mavy, Ursinus, Haverfard, Swarthmore, Franklin and Marshall, and 5t. Johns in the order named. In view of the fact that the lateness of the Easter vacation will shorten the tennis season to four weeks, this schedule is exceedingly heawvy: but the men feel confident of an excellent season and victory for Delaware. + Backword ue Editors wish to acknowledge gratefully the unfailing and dependable assis- tance given by Jahn and Ollier and the Colyer Printing Company, engravers and printers, respectively, of the 1927-1928 Brue Hen.

The same gas that cooks your food, heats your home, and performs all those other necessary home duties, also has an important part in making the car you drive. In the building of cars gas is the fuel used in the foundry for making the castings, It is used for treating steel and tempering the springs, and only the absolute precision of gas can supply the exact degree of heat required in rnalli.ing special gears and ball bearings, in test- ing the motors and deving the paint on the bodies. American manufacturers have long realized the importance of gas in the automaobile illduslr:v, but li:::lgli:ih manufacturers of fine cars have adopted it even more widely, have really demonstrated how completely you can do it better with gas.
