The role of a har- monist was played in developing a coordinated archive of Univer- sity of Delaware's physical geography, customs, and traditions. The ultimate goal was the incitation of reminiscences among alumni and students. If this goal was attained, the time and effort given to this yearbook's production was not in vain, A N B i o i 4 Fa i .

This freedom is very precious. It has been freedom of a type nowhere else to befound on this earth. It has attracted the persecuted and downtrodden from all corners of the world. It is a freedom that many fled to, leaving behind them virtual slavery. It is a heritage that you must now gird yourselves to preserve. The task of preservation is a most dificult one. It is a course that is beset with many difficulties and dangers. In your training at the University of Delaware you prepare yourselves to par- ticipate in that great task. You may wonder at times how it all fits into the scheme to make this world a place in which people can live in peace and harmony, while all you see today is an entire world engaged in the worst war of all recorded times, But be assured that the training does fit in, Some of you, indeed, many of you, have already and will have your training here interfered with by having to don a uniform. Many of those who preceded you have already gone to war. Some have paid the supreme sacrifice and others have held and now hold high places among those who are responsible for the prosecution of this war, You will all have your part to play. There are those among you who will go forth but will not return. You have, indeed, a great privilege in being permitted to do your part in the preservation of the heritage handed down by thos: who have gone before you. And you shall not fail but go forward always with the thought that you must not fail. And out of it will come a better world in which the principles of democracy will live on without the dangers that have threatened it in the years gone by. You will not fail in your trust. May God give you strength to carry on. x ok ok ki Kok ok BOARD OF TRUSTEES TRUSTEES .

Let our song rise to tell her glories, Let each voice with gladness ring, Of her fame let us ne'er tire singing, Let her victories be told- We can well be proud of dear old Delaware, So cheer the Blue and Gold. Delaware College is a conglomeration of personalities achievement. The relationship of administration, faculty, and student is a miraculous blending of unharmonious substances. We are proud to present in the pages that fol- low a concise version of the characters that constitute the heart of our institution. From President to Freshman, we give you CHARLES E. GRUBB Business Administrator Mz, Charles Grubb has been connected with the University of Delaware for many years. He was appointed to his present office as Business Administrator in April, 1936. In 1914 he graduated as an honor student from the Schoal of Engi- neering after an active campus career, While in college, he was elected to Phi Kappa Phi and was Editor-in-Chief of both the Review and Blue Hen. He was later elected to Tau Beta Pi. Mr. Grubb was awarded an honorary Master's degree in Civil Engineering at the Commencement exercises in 1930, He served as Chief County Engineer of New Castle County and as the New Castle County State Highway Commissioner, in which capacities he supervised construction and maintenance of roads and structures from 1918 to 1930. In 1930 he became Engineer-Executive of the American Road Builders Association of Wash- ington, D. C, and in 1934, Assistant Director, Projects Division, F. E. A., with offices in Washington, His sympathetic, yet business-like and efficient treatment of student problems has established him firmly in the hearts of all those who know him, GEORGE E. DUTTON Dean Dean George E. Dutton was born at Seaford, Delaware, in 1881, He attended Delaware College, now a part of the University of Delaware, and received his A. B. degree upon graduation in 1904. Dean Duttan then did praduate work at Johns Hopkins University from 1905-1908, After teaching until 1910 he attended Harvard University, where he obtained his A.

A The National Youth Administration came to the University of Delaware on June 26, 1935, upon the passage of a bill requested by President Frank- lin D. Roosevelt, by Congress. Since that time, many students who have had financial difficulties have been greatly aided by the opportunities of- fered by this organization. The National Youth Administration is not a Youth Movement, that is, it exerts no political, religious, or philosophical influence upon the people it helps. It is an emer- gency relief agency of the Federal Government and nothing more. Students between the ages of 16 and 24 are . eligible to apply for N. Y. A. work. At the peak of operations during the late spring of 1936 a total of 381,320 students were receiving direct cash benefits from the National Youth Administration. The students must apply for work that iz both useful and practicable, The N. Y. A. makes every effort to supply work that is in line with the ability and interest of the students applying for the aid. Mr. Charles W. Bush is director of the M. Y. A. here at the University, being appointed by Presi- dent Hullihen. His able assistant is Mrs. Bertha 5. Worth. These two have been in charge of the Administration for the past seven years, In order to obtain work a student must maintain a satisfactory scholastic record. Employment under the College and Graduate Aid Program is provided only to students of good character who need the employment in order to remain in school. The college and university authorities determine the needs of the students, and no student is hired who doesnt need the funds provided them by the National Youth Organization. BUSINESS GUIDANCE The Business Guidance Bureau of the Univer- gity of Delaware was established on January 2, 1936, by action of the Board of Trustees to obtain suitable positions for graduates of the University. There is no charge to the student for the place- ment service. Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge had been the head of the organization until he was called into active duty in the United States Army last year and assigned to be Professor of Military Science and Tactics here at the University. Mr, Charles W. Bush iz Assistant Director of the Bureau and is in charge at the present time. His assistant is Miss Mary Forwood. The main duties of Mr. Bush and his assistant are to arrange interviews for the students of both Delavare College and .the Women's College with high authorities of the outstanding commercial companies in the country. Since these are times of war, there have been many requests for students graduating from the Engineering school. However, Chemistry and Mathematics majors from the Women's College are being placed by many of the large companies, Quitstanding companies that are negotiating with students from this University are General Motors, General Electric, Westinghouse, the duPont Com- pany, Hercules, Eastman-Kodak, Curtis-Wright, Standard Oil, and a host ot others, ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Organized several decades ago, it was not until five years ago that an Alumni Office on the campus with a full-time executive secretary and staff was established. This office now is located on the first floor of Purnell Hall. Membership in the Alumni Association is auto- matic for all gradvates of Delaware College and for all former students who completed at least one year and whose classes have graduated. There are no dues. The association is financed by means of voluntary contributions made by alumni each year in the period during which a Fund Campaign is conducted. During the past few years the amounts contributed in response to the Fund Campaign appeals has increased annually, clearly demonstrat- ing ever-increasing alumni interest in Old Dela- ware. Four times each year an alumni magazine is pub- lished containing news of the University, of fel- low alumni, and of the athletic teams. This mag- azine is sent without charge to all alumni for whom the Alumni Office has mailing addresses, Some of the benefits and aims of the Alumni Association may be set forth as follows: It is the one and only way of uniting the great body of alumni scattered throughout the United States of America and other parts of the world into a purposeful group working in behalf of the University. It is the only way in which alumni can be kept informed about the development of the University its functions, faculty, and buildings. It serves as the best means by which alumni can be kept informed about, and in touch with classmates and other friends, It contributes wvitally, as it has through the years, both morally and financially, toward the support of the University and the development of its prestige and high academic standing. It assists alumni in obtaining positions or in being advanced to positions of greater responsi- bility. The spirit that has been engendered in the general body of alumni through the united efforts of the Association has helped make it possible for individual alumni to obtain assistance for the Uni- versity from non-graduate friends, It is hoped that it will be in a position before many years go by, to function as an integral part of the general University set-up, the double pur- pose of which will be a to unite even more closely the alumni in their interest in their Alma Mater and b to serve as an active organization to present year after year to the alumni the press- ing financial needs of the University, ENGI IviL MECHANICAL CHEMICAL ELECTRICAL ....... school of NEERING R.

THE ENGINEERS The School of Engineering is the University of Delaware's oldest school. And with age comes tradi- tion. The Engineers, more commonly called The Slide Rule Boys hecause of their extensive use of this instrument, are as colorful as any group on the campus., Many stories are circulated of their sup- posedly slow minds; but investigation has proven that though their minds work in slow motion, they pos- sess a goodly amount of knowledge. The boys are all geniuses at figures including numbers and we are told of the brilliant diplomatic deal made by a former student in Mechanical Engineering. This particular young man was given seventeen hammers by a foreman and told to distribute them to workers in this manner: Department A was to receive one-half the total number of tools; Department B was to receive one-third; and Department C, one- ninth, With rapid mental caleulation sans slide-rule, he found that it was impossible to divide the ham- mers whole. So not wishing to embarrass the foreman and imperil hiz job, he dashed to the nearest hard- ware store to purchase one more hammer, making eighteen, He proceeded to divide as follows: One-half, or nine, to Department A One-third, or six, to Department B One-ninth, or two, to Department G Adding nine, six, and two, our hero found that it made seventeen, so he returned the remaining ham- mer to the store, contented that he had won his little battle, The next day he was fired for shopping on the Company's time. But not to slight the Chemical, Civil, and Electrical Engineers in this feature, may we add that at this very moment one of these three iz calculating the above problem with furrowed brow and shaggy white glide-rule. In all seriousness, though, more power to the Engi- neers! Their materialistic touch furnishes a better worlda more comfortable life. GEORGE L. SCHUSTER Dean of Agriculture, George L.

Commanding Officer Colonel Donald M, Ashbridge, C.AC, a stately and militant personality, was placed at the head of the Department immediately before hostilities had begun and has more than ably handled the difficult task of a University in wartime. With the instalment of the Enlisted Reserve Corps plan, the work of the Military Department has doubled, The Department is now a complex and intricate machine of greater importance than at any other time in the Iniversity's history. The Military Department was instituted here in 1870, and in 1920, Delaware College became one of the Reserve Officers Training Corps Colleges. The purpose of the R.OT.C. is to train college men to officer our armies in times of national emer- gencies. The unit in this University is maintained to train officers for the Coast Artil- lery Sea Coast and Anti-Aircraft. The University Military Staff is composed of Begular Army and Reserve officers and Non-Commissioned officers of the Regular Army. Major Alvin Roberson, Major Walter B. Moore, and Lieutenant Donald R. Morton, former University of Delaware graduates, are now stationed here as Instrue- tors in Military Science and Tactics. Both classroom work and drill are required of Freshmen and Sophomores. Juniors and Seniors are selected for Advanced Military training after certain regula- tions are complied with and various physical examinations satisfactorily passed. The progress of the Military Department during the last few years has been extraordinary. In 1928, 1919, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1940, and 1942, Delaware was designated Excellent by the Secretary of Waran honor conferred for excellence of work and limited to some twenty-five colleges in the entire country. HIS TRUTH GOES MARCHING ON They fell rather than turn back, The voices of fighting men who have died and are dying urge us on to renewed vigor, They ask that in carrying on the conflict, we be certain, severe, and stub- born, They insist that America be tough the knuckles of the nation must be raw and bleeding. The Cause they fought for is the Amer- ican wview, Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi- ness is our American heritagea heritage too valuable to lose, The unscrupulous foe will meet vicious resistance and inevitable defeat, for the American fighter would rather be a dead martyr than a live puppet, War is harsh, strong. Life is handled loosely and the conser- vation of existence seems to be forgotten. But the Amencan loves lifethat is why he is willing to give his so that others may live, OFFICERS CLUB The Officers Club of the University of Delaware, composed of the Seniors and Juniors taking the Advanced R, O. T. C. course, 15 organized primarily for the purpase of holding one major social function a year; and for maintaining a coopera- tive spirit among the officers. The Military Ball for 1943 was held in Old College on January 16, the usual dinner-dance being replaced by a buffet supper and dance. The Ball, the third of its kind presented by the Officers Club, was an outstanding Club attended, and for the first time the Commons was presented with young ladies in gowns, escorted by men in the familiar military dress. The men for the Officers Club are selected from among the applicants in the sophomore class. Since only 40 new men per year are allowed to take the Advanced R. O. T. C. course, there are 80 men in the Officers' Club. To be eligible for a commission in the U, 8. Army Reserve, the student must complete successfully four years of R, O, T, C. work and an eight weeks' course in a regular Ofhcer Candidate School. The Cadet Battalion that perfurms infantry drill every Tuesday afternoon is headed by Cadet Major Robert Purman, assisted by Cadet Captains R. Tybout, D. Locke, E. Carullo, P. Hollingsworth, and C. Carpenter of Batteries A, B, C, D, and the Band, respectively. At the regular College Hour period on Thursday, the Advanced R. O. T. C. students have a military clazss which may be infantry drill, plotting room drill, or some other military classroom work, For the school year of 1941-42, the University of Delaware Cadet Battalion was awarded the rating of Excellent, permitting the cadets to wear the blue star on the right sleeve of their uniforms. The Officers Club can well be proud of many of its former members, many of whom are now serving their country as officers in the Army. Many of these men have advanced to positions of respect and authority and many have received recog- nition for outstanding duty. The men of the present Ofhcers' Club can only hope that thcy will be able to live up ta the fine tradition sct h:.' the R. . T. C. men receding them, R.O.T.C. BAND Because of the new University Band, the Military Band has confined its activi ties to those of strictly military nature during the past year. Besides playing for the weekly military drills, the band made a trip to Wilmington last year to play in a recruiting parade. However, a rain storm limited the action of the band in the parade. Charles W, Carpenter served as captain of the R. O. T. C. Band during the past year, A. Hastings Carey was the Drum Major. Others who were in the band are: F. Baker, K. N. Bowen, J. B. Clements, F. Diffendall, A. Fogelberg, H. George, H. Ginn, W. B. Howell, H. Jacobs, M. Jacoby, P. Kelrick, H. Krinsky, E. Leeman, W. Mathews, H. L. Maxwell, E. Miller, F. T. Mulrooney, J. E. Orr, W.

Kenworthy, 3 f g As much a part of Delaware College as the buildings and professors, the activitiespublica- y tions, dramatics, debating, athletics, fraternities, honorary organizations, student government, and so onwill forever play a major role in producing today the leaders of tomorrow. Extra-curricular activities have been defined as not falling within the curriculum. Many Delaware students prefer that the curriculum not fall within the extra-curricular activities, Since Webster and Delaware students disagree, we dedicate to activi- ties the next section of the Blue Hen. The much glamorized college life in a typical American uni- versity will unfold before your eyes. You may be STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council at the University of Delaware is Delaware College's student governing body. The members represent a true cross-section of the students. There are two representatives from each fraternity on the campus, one from the genior class and one from the junior class; there are five representatives from the independent group, two seniors, two juniors, and one sophomore. This, in effect, permits the council to receive the ideas and suggestions of the various groups on the campus, formulate their opinions, and reach a solution to the problem under consideration. In the years that have passed, there have been many disagreements in the council, but they have been ironed out successfully and intelligently. The Student Council for the 1942-43 term has proven itself to be an efficient organization. It has instituted new regulations to provide the students with more efficient organizations. The present Student Council has revived the Honor Societies which to date have been inactive. Under the direction of Pete Reburn and Walter Dworkis, lists for each class were made and the new members of the societies were tapped in by Dr. Walter Hullihen at the Drexel Tech basketball game, January 28, 1943, in the new Field House. The Student Council is made up of fifteen men who are under the unerring guidance of President Hugh Bogovich., The other officers are Walter Dworkis, vice president; Roland Reed, secretary; Carl Wright, Jr., treasurer, and Pete Reburn, social chairman. The senior members of the council are Albin Shaw, Robert Sieman, Edward Butler and William Miller. The juniors are Gilbert Spiegel, James Hopper, Arthur Millman, James Walters, and Hayes Dickerson. The lone sophomore member is James Bogart. o kil NH, 4 il . -...-Aq-m , A i ' ; it yE! 1 - - . i ; k - T e e TR L . !

It consists at the present time of five members, one each from Sigma Nu, Kappa Alpha, Sigma Tau Phi, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Theta Chi fraternitics. For the past few years it has been the custom for the presidents of the respective fraternities to act as representatives on the council. In this way it is found that much more can be accomplished, since the president in most cases knows the will of his fraternity brothers, One of the most important functions of the council is to enforce the regulations of rushing so that each fraternity may have an equal opportunity to obtain new members from the freshman class. One week each year is e as Rush Week. During this week the various fraternities are permitted to sponsor smokers, house parties, and any other social functions which might serve to acquaint the freshmen with the members and the fraternity as a whole. Interfraternity competition iz encouraged as much as possible, The fraternity having the highest scholarship rating during the year is awarded a Scholarship Cup by the Interfraternity Council. There are also trophies awarded to the fraternity excelling in dramatics, baseball, foothall, basketball, and other sports. The competi- tion between fraternities is always keen, and a fine feeling of sportsmanship has been established, In June of 1939, the Interfraternity relay was renewed under the spon- sorship of the Alumni Association. This event takes place on Alumni Home-Coming Day, which is generally in early spring. The Interfraternity Council has also attempted to bring the fraternities together socially. To this end, the Interfraternity Week-end had been sponsored for the past five years. The program consists of the Interfraternity Formal on Friday evenings, a home football game between Delaware and one of its opponents on Saturday after- noon, and House Parties in each of the respective houses on Saturday evening. In addition to this, an Interfraternity Informal Dance is held in the late spring. SIGMA PHI EPSILON On November 1, 1901, at Richmond, Virginia, a small group of college friends, inspired by fellowship, formed a society and christened it Sigma Phi Epsilon. Its founders, twelve in number, were banded together earlier as members of the Saturday Night Club and met in the various rooms of its members, Its purpose was to bring together as a body the best men on the campus. Wanting to form on a larger scale, the stu- dents applied to be admitted as a Greek Letter Fra- ternity but met with much opposition. Because of their perseverance, they finally were admitted, thus establishing one of the leading fraternities of the country, Sigma Phi Epsilon chapters are spread out over all states of the Union. There are, in all walks of life, over twenty thousand Sig Eps. In magnitude and in scholastic achievement, Sigma Phi Epsilon is numbered among the first ten ranking fraternitics of the nation. It has seventy-two active chapters and thirty-five alumni chapters with Grand Chapter Head- quarters located in Richmond, Virginia. Sigma Phi Epsilon was established here at the Uni- versity of Delaware in 1907, In the past thirty-five years it has compiled an enviable record of which every active member and alumni can be proud. The fraternity has thirty-one active members and ten pledges and is able to boast of a group well repre- sented in all campus activities. Its athletic endeavors FRATRES IN FACULTATE Harry W.

Hell Week at Sigma Phi Epsilon always provides genuine fun for both pledges and actives, Among the many interesting functions established on the campus by the Sig Eps is the Father and Son Banguet which is by far the most impressive, It is given every year for the purpose of bringing together the fathers of the boys, so that tHey might learn more about the purpose of fraternities, The House Parties prove most enjoyable and their themes most original. The Pledge banquet and bi-annual publication are comparatively new here at DelawareAlpha having been estab- lished in the past two years. With all the other social functions given their due recognition, the Fraternity Formal is hj,.f far the most t'mpnrlanl: function of the social calendar, and has proven to be the highlight of the year's activities. The decorations have been novel and the bands popular. This gala affair has left with all those who have ever attended it a lasting impression, With all the successes of its past achievements affording it a strong foundation, Sigma Phi Epsilon looks into the future with confidence and an anticipa- tion of even more prosperous years.

Thus iz inscribed the Creed of Sigma Nu, the prime tenet of a fraternity founded 74 years ago by three cadets at the Virginia Military Institute. From this conception it has become one of the country's largest and best known Greek-letter organizations with 96 chapters in 46 states and its badge, the beautiful five- armed star, has been worn by 35,000 college men. The Delta Kappa Chapter was founded at the Uni- versity of Delaware in 1911 with Dr. George A. Harter, President of the College, as one of the 24 charter members, The capacious chapter house, whose harmonious colonial architecture blends with the nHJJIlI lL' LiII E.II.'I.I'!GJ;S iJr W':!Il:'lkll. FI.I:'I.LI :i', cfl.l'nnn;. Was erccted on the upper campus in 1929 adjacent to what is now the Field House. In such surroundings has thus grown an atm:l:sphr.rl.: of culture, refinement and brotherly love, The aims and objectives of Sigma Nu in relation to the University have always been of further dewvel- opment and betterment and many of the most attrac- tive features of Delaware can be attributed to the zeal and interest of the chapter. Her members have seized upon every oppertunity to render service to fraternity, Alma Mater and country. As a fraternity conceived and nurtured by military men, it has come to foster the sword as a symbol of honor and her contribution to the nation in both World Wars has been in life as well as spirit. Active in the fraternity are some forty-seven mem- bers that comprise a spirited and versatile group with virtually every branch of study and activity on the campus represented therein, Among them are scholars of note, campus clowns, athletes and such student leaders as Gerner, Mowbray and Reburn, and in testi- mony of the caliber of the members is an alumni of esteemed brothers, of which the best known are Lt Commander Frank R. Leamy, U.5.C.G.; Colonel Julian C. Smith, Marine Corps; H. Rodney Sharp and Federal Judge Paul C. Leahy, KAPPA ALPHA In the year 1865, four men founded the Kappa Alpha Order at Washington and Lee University. At that time General Robert E. Lee was president of the aforementioned institution, and it was with hig full approval that the Order was born. Because of this, he holds a high place in the heart of old K. A, The ideals of the fraternity have their origin in the lofty standards of medieval knighthood. It was from such a background that the motto Dien et les Dames was adopted and placed on the seal of Kappa Alpha. Aside from the historical purpose, there is also the ever-present one of social development in which any fraternity plays so important a role. Kappa Alpha has its secret rituals for initiations, meetings, and so on. One very interesting fact concerning these which can be disclosed is that K. A, has the only initiation ceremony among the better known fraterni- ticz that can be held in a Christian church, With the exception of two chapters, the Fraternity is exclusively in the southern United States. The old Mason and Dixon line and its extension to the west coast marks the northern limit of K. A.'s active chap- ters. The alumni groups are nationwide, however, and may be found in practically all of this country's larger cities, One of the two exceptions is the chapter lo- cated here at the University of Delaware and the other is the recently founded chapter at Bethany Caol- lege in Pennsylvania. A group of boys at Delaware expressed the desire to become part of the Order and as the charter members tell itafter a hot session in the Council, were approved but for the chapter at Johns Hopkins, which at that time was the northern- most one in the organization. When some of the young enthusiasts at Delaware heard of the situation, a self-appointed delegation paid a visit to the future brothers. What happened there has never been quite clear, but nevertheless the potential chapter was ac- cepted in the Order and christened Beta Epsilon of Kappa Alpha. This took place in 1904 and the present Purnell Hall was its first fraternity house. The present location was ohtained in 1911, A brief look into the governmental hierarchy of the Order shows us the following: At the bottom of the ladder are the active chapters, about five or ten of which constitute a province. Each province has a Commander to which it is responsible. He acts as an adviser and is regponsible for hiz province to the Knight Commander and the Council. The Knight Commander and the Province Commanders are elected to their positions for a term of two years. There are ten provinces in the Kappa Alpha Order. At Delaware K. A. is represented on the faculty by Mr. George E. Dutton, Dean and Registrar of the Men's College; Dr. Carl J. Rees, Mathematics De- partment head, and Dr. Albert 5. Eastman, heaa of the Chemistry Department. Dr. Rees is also the chap- ter's present Alumni Adviser, Of local interest also are the names of Rear Admiral Richard H. Blandy and Mr. Norris Wright. Of national and world re- nown, K. A is proud of such names as Army Chief of Staff General George C. Marshall, Rear Admiral Richard 5.

Housepian Robert B, MecCurry Edward Price Robert Glisson Edwin W. Leaman PLEDGES Jack Coulter Theta Chi was officially launched on Thursday, April 10, 1856, at Norwich University, then located at Norwich, but now at Northfield, Vermont, by Frederick Freeman and Arthur Chase of the Class of '36. Since then it has grown steadily and conserv- atively, All chapters have developed from established local organizations and gained admittance by virtue of voluntary petitions. At present the active chapter list includes some 70 chapters. During the Civil War the alumni and active mem- bership of Theta Chi volunteered for service practi- cally one hundred percent, Many members saw service in the Spanish-American war, William Spafford, 97, being the first Vermonter killed. Before the draft was instituted during the World War, many chapters were depleted by voluntary enlistments, True to its military traditions, 63 percent of the membership served with the colors, Alpha Xi of Theta Chi, here at the University of . Delaware, opened its social year with the annual Bowery Ball, Due to curtailment of activities, it was held at the chapter house on West Main Street in- stead of at the Commons as of the previous year, So, on the night of November 14th, Newark was once more the scene of mustachioed gentlemen, sideburns, handle-bar mustaches checkered coats, derbys and all that goes with the Gay Nineties as no less than seventy-three couples jammed themselves into the house for the festivities. Incidents were frequent and several quiet shootings took care of arguments, The attendants all enjoyed themselves and the mem- bers all look forward to a successful Formal in March. Most significant happening for the fraternity na- tiomally this year was the merger effected between the Grand Chapter of Theta Chi and the grand Executive Council of Beta Kappa fraternity to con- solidate the two nationals under the banner of Theta Chi. Beta Kappa, founded on October 15th, 1901, at Hamline University, consisted of twenty-three chapters at the time of the merger. It was founded by the Rev. D, Paul Rader, Edward Marlatte, Albert Spencer and Charles Wallace, After struggling for THETA CHI several years, it was given recognition and subse- quently incorporated in 1912. Twenty years of history a5 a local passed. over Beta Kappa, and in the fall of 1921, with over one hundred fifty alumni and with her place of leadership secure, the question of future development was raised. During the spring of 1922, Alpha chapter received a petition from a group lo- cated in the University of Washington in Seattle and this petition was aecepted and Beta chapter was in- stalled. Expansion was rapid for the next ten years with chapters being placed in many of the leading colleges of the country. As a small fraternity, Beta Kappa was struck hard by the depression years and soon found itself in a position of where merging with a fraternity larger than itself would he necessary to enlarge the chapter roll, Theta Chi was chosen as being 'one whose principles and ideals closely approxi- mated those of Beta Kappa and Theta Chi recognized in BK the pioneering principles that make a great fraternity and immediately started plans for the merger. The merger was completed late in November, 1942, and brings the alumni roster of Theta Chi to the total of 20,000 and also makes for one of the best geographically situated fraternities in the country, SIGMA TAU PHI The Sigma Tau Phi Praternity is a war baby, founded at the close of World War 1. In the mem- orable year of 1918, a group of young engineering students at the University of Pennsylvania discovered that scholastic and social activities were once more beginning to function normally, Desiring to start a new and wholesome organization in a unigque era, this group founded the first chapter, Alpha, of the now national Sigma Tau Phi Fraternity. In 1924, a convention was held and a decizsion made to transform the technical organization to a general fraternity. Delta Chapter, University of Dela- ware, was the first to grab the chance of becoming a member. Since that time, Temple University and Dickinson College have been added to the roster. Pet of national Sigma Tau Phi iz Delta Chapter, University of Delaware, for since the incipient state, it has been the sparkplug of the entire organization. Many of the progressive movements sponsored by the Fraternity have originated in the house on Main Strcet' MNewark, Delaware. The determination of the Delaware boys to create an organization that stands high scholastically and socially is phenomenal, The Deltanians have undertaken plans for something en- tirely new in fraternity history to be presented after. the war. On the University of Delaware campus, Sigma Tau Phi brotherhood has been active-having participated in many of the school's extra-curricular activities: Publications, Dramatics, and Intramurals, FRATRES IN FACULTATE Leo Blumberg FRATRES IN COLLEGIO SENIDRS Walter W, Dworkis Harry M, Z:Jl: Gilbert J.

That is, of course, because many of Delaware's previous oppo- ents had given up debating, and also because the curb on traveling made it impossible to travel long distances to schools which had debating teams. However, under the energetic perseverance of the faculty adviser, Dr. Augustus H. Able, the club did manage to obtain three events for the season. The first of these, which was held March 1, was a panel discussion on Radio Station WDEL. The question: Resolved that the Congress of the United States enact as part of its new tax program a uniform tax to be levied upon all retail sales of commodities, only articles of necessity being exempted, was dis- cussed in the affirmative by three members of the society and in the negative by the other three mem- bers, followed by a rebuttal by one member of each side. This presentation was under the auspices of the Radio Guild and was presided over by Phyllis White, with H. Lloyd Jones as moderator, and Melvin Leibo- witz as technician. The six members of the debating team spent weeks practicing and preparing for this debate, and Dr. Able's office, at 2:00 P. M. every Thursday afterncon saw some lively discussions and some near riots, The other two events which Dr. Able has sched- uled for the society are against the Wilmington Y. M. C. A., neither of which have come off as this is being written, On March 9 five members of the society will have traveled to Wilmington to uphold the affirmative of the issue: Resolved; that, since future peace re: quires as its guarantee a world federation of nations, exercising at least a minimum authority of police powers, the U. 8. must be prepared to adhere to such a federation. On March 25 the society will again travel to the Y where five representatives will give the negative arguments on the sales tax question presented over the radio earlier in the season. The members of the Delaware College debating saciety for this season are: John M. Ryan, acting president; Charles Oberly; Randolph Clark; Owens 5. Weaver; lrving N. Morris, and Robert H.

BEN JanMin Sison, NaTHAN SiMon, Jack WemesTock, Louis Pais At Delaware nearly everybody reads THE RE- VIEW. The foregoing paraphrase of an old Philadelphia newspaper's slogan applies perfectly to THE RE- YWIEW, the undergraduate weekly of the University of Delaware. If you want to be well-informed on campus activities, you just have to read THE REVIEW. News of concerts, plays, lectures, sports, political activities, all are contained within its compact four-page format. Nor does this mighty editorial mite lack in entertaining features. All in all, THE REVIEW is a must on the Delaware students reading list. Borrowing again from the aforesaid Philadelphia paper, THE REVIEW has in the last two years been as conservative and accurate in its journalism as any college paper could be. Left with the fresh example of Popitti and Bove's blood-red issue and with the heritage of Kreshtool's screaming Beer headlines, co-editors Minkus and Ashton proceeded to ignore any yellow traditions and produced a paper based on good taste and honesty. Tom Ashton's transfer to another school left Editor Minkus in the Fall of 1941 without a part- THE ner, but Minkus did not take advantage of his more independent position by deserting the line of conserv- atism. Upon assuming office, the incumbent editor, Carl Allen, declared that he would be loyal to the ideals of honest, unsensational journalism, He has donc so throughout his term of office. In their first issue on March 28, 1941, Minkus and Ashton declared editorially: . . . we will print facts unbiased and unprejudiced of all that occurs on the campus. We will reorganize our staff on a merit rather than a personal-favor basis. We will improve the con- ditions now existing in THE REVIEW office. We will give you a better paper. We ask your criticism and suggestions. In this same issue appeared the last installment of Hal Amoff's witty column, Reading Room Only. Tucked away in a corner were a few paragraphs by Eddie Golin under the heading, Odds and Ends. On April 4, THE REVIEW printed the ballot for the forthcoming class elections, news of the E-32 play, Plight to the West, plans for the Theta Chi formal, and an illuminating editorial on the ILM.A. REVIEW Then Spring overcame conservatism for one issue. The notorious YELLOW RAG appeared in place of THE REVIEW for one week only, Some headlines in the RAG were: grubb raids commons icebox and gets ptom, poisoning; ate green lamb chop, george dutton shot as he deals em from bottom in poker game. In explanation of this levity, the editorial said: THE REVIEW has abandoned for the hectic nonce the mortar board of erudition and propriety and has as- sumed with affected unaffectedness the belled motley of irreverence and inanity. Lo, the staid, prosaic, pain- fully proper REVIEW plays the fool. . . . We trust that this explanation is appropriately garbled and un- satisfactory. We do so want to laugh and play. At the beginning of the '41-'42 scholastic year, the banner headline, HENS OPEN WITH TEACHERS, signaled the opening of what was to be Delaware's first undefeated football season. Mitchell Hall announced through the columns of THE REVIEW that the first E-52 production of the year would be a pre-Broadway presentation of William Saroyan's experimental JIM DANDY. Throughout the autumn, THE REVIEW proudly displayed headlines of Delaware football wvictories. Other important events listed during Minkus' editor- ship included: the sad news of the death of Dr. George Herbert Ryden, head of the history department; the laying of the cornerstoneg for the new dorms and the Maintenance Center one?l-lnmmcoming Day; the sixth annual University Dramatic Conference; the Junior Prom with the music of Tommy Reynolds; and the third Delaware Scholastic Press Conference. In March, 1942, Carl Allen became editor of THE REVIEW. Since Carl is still with us, it is impossible to judge the worth of his efforts in their true perspec- tive caused by the passage of time. But an examination of recent editions of THE.REVIEW will show a con- sistent level of good writing and honest journalism seldom maintained in college papers. CAULDRON The Cauldron, undergraduate literary magazine of the University of Delaware, started its fifth year of publication by necessarily adapting itself to the war schedule. Since its constitution provides that it be pub- lished twice a year, the first task of the electoral com- mittee was to adopt a revised plan suitable to the present three-semester year. It was decided to publish the magazine during the Fall and Spring terms. When the staff had been organized, their first task was to select a printer. This was mainly the job of the business editors. Our next concern was material to print. Accordingly, a box labeled Cauldron was de- posited in its traditional place at the main desk of the library to receive contributions. The Art Editor, who also handled the publicity, placed posters in conspicu- ous places on campus; and announcements were made at as many student gatherings as possible. The staff had done its first job, and there was a temporary lull while we waited for contributions to come in. The deadline was set, and for weeks the editors and staff haunted the library looking in vain for something that might be Cauldron material. Students, with their usual procrastinating habits, seemed totally unresponsive, and the staff fumed over the discouraging lack of material. But as the deadline approached, and direct appeals were made to obviously literary persons, it began to look as though we might have a Cauldron after all, At last came the day when the staff was called together for that all-important meeting to select material. Was there too little? Was there too much? Which essays, short stories, and poetry did we want? How about drama, biographies, sketches? A new feature, the Pro- file, was introduced. At last the choices were made, but thiz was only the beginning. The next job was arrangement, revision, expansion, condensation. With four typewriters and two proofreaders going at once, our material was at last ready to submit to the printer, Oh no, the job wasn't finished yet. There were still revisions, insertions, deletions and long discussions about things that once seemed well settled. Pages were inserted, taken out, rearranged. At last the proofs came back, and proofreading proceeded at a rapid pace When the corrected proofs had been returned to the printer, the staff sat back with sighs of relief and awaited with trepidation the appearance of the Caul- dron. The last duty of the editor wae the appointment of an electoral committee to choose his successor, No one who has not worked in close contact with the staff of such a mapgazine can realize the amount of time and effort required for its publication. And that is unfortunate, for the staff, no matter how willing and able, cannot make poor or insufficient material into a good magazine, The Cauldron cannot be the brain-child of the staff alone. It belongs personally to every mem- ber of the student body. It is for the literary expression of any and all. Blue Hens, it is your magazine! FRESHMAN HANDBOOK The Student Council of Delaware College has considered it necessary that the Freshman Handbook be published to acquaint the incoming freshman classes with the history, traditions, and rules of the University, its under- graduate organizations, and the opportunities awaiting the new students. This serves as a guide, and all freshmen are required to carry it with them throughout the year. Eddie Golin, this year's editor, and Morton Schulman, assistant, were faced with the first radical changes in the book since it was published. The national emergency added much information to the book with the introduction of the accelerated program, the loss and addition of new professors, descrip- tions of new buildings, revised athletic program, and elimination of the foreign study plan. The traditional rat slips, the Freshman's perpetual fear, were aban- doned by rule of the Student Council. Rat slip were perforated slips of paper inserted in the Handbook for use by upper classmen in reporting fresh- man offenses, The Freshman Handbook consists of greetings from the Editor, Dean Dutton, President Hullihen, and President of Student Couneil; list of faculty; program for courses of study in the war emergency; social program; Consti- tution of the Student Government Association of Delaware College; prominent persons on campus; regulations governing absences from class; athletics; regu- lations for the conduct of examinations; promotions and grades; Dormitory Government; Military Department; publications; library; Alumni Association; extra-curricular activities and the point system; fraternities; traditions; history of the University; description of grounds and buildings; University dramatics; Foreign Study Plan; How to Study; Cheers and Songs; sport schedules; memoranda and notes. Next year's editor will be Morton Schulman. THE AGGIE NEWS The Aggie News is fundamentally the publication of the Agricultural Club in which Ag students may find an outlet for prosaic expression; however, the ma- terial used may come from any source. The Aggie News is distinctive in that it is the only publication on the campus that is the result of another organization. It is published once each term and is distributed to all agricultural students as well as the Vocational Agri- culture departments in High Schools throughout the state. The school year 1942-43 marks the fifth year of pub- lication of the Apgie News and in this time much progress has been made in the appearance of the copy and in the quality of the material. Included in the ma- terial are egimrials. news of the Ag students, sports, stories, poetry, and the inevitable humor. Editor-in- Chief is Mathan V. Plafker with George Samuels as Associate Editor. The staff is selected from among the members of the Agricultural Club, the editor being the only position for which election is required. The Aggie News iz similar to the publications of other Agricul- tural colleges throughout the United States, which, al- though more elaborate in appearance, may be compared favorably with respect to general content and quality. Although the past year has brought a decrease in the enrollment of the Ag School, the spirit and enthusiasm of the students toward the Ag Club and Aggie News has not been affected, As long as it is possible, the Agrie Wews will continue to be published and will remain with Wolf Hall the symbols of Agriculture on the campus of the University of Delaware. THE PLAYERS During the past two college years, activity in dra- matics on the Delaware Campus has reached an un- paralleled high point. More and more students are reap- ing the benefits of participation in Mitchell Hall pro- ductions. Most of the credit for this gradual growth in student interest goes to Dr, C. R. Kase, for over twelve years director of dramatics for the University of Dela- ware, Throughout his term at Delaware, Dr. Kase has endeavored to make his theatre as democratic as pos- gible. By so doing, he gave the students working with him a proper spirit of responsibility and pride in accom- plishment. Now Captain Kase of the U. 8. Army, he is staging plays to boost the morale of our fighting men, We hope that at the end of the war he may return to Delaware. At the beginning of the 1941-41 season, the E-52 Players received stimulating news from the National Theatre Conference. The N.T.C. had arranged to get new plays from well-known authors and release these plays to its member-groups prior to their Broadway production. This was a revolutionary scheme in the history of American theatre. The first play to be so released was JIM DANDY, by William Saroyan, who had just won the Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize with his TIME OF YOUR LIFE, and whose LOVE'S OLD SWEET SONG had been produced on the Mitchell Hall stage the previous yvear. The Players seized the opportunity and went to work on staging the rather esoteric and subtle JIM DANDY. The pro- duction was a rollicking one with plenty of music, in- cluding boogy-woogy, played by Art Krause, Don Mc- Clellan, and Milt Gerstine, Norman Bunin played the amazing Jim Dandy, and Frank Annand was the weird Fischkin. Dr, Kase's son, Bobby, did well as Little Johnny. The audience didn't understand all that went on, but they did have fun, Then the Mitchell Hall stage was given over to the one-act drama, as the Puppets and Footlights Clubs presented their regular Playbill Program. All the plays in this season's Playbill were products of the British Isles. The first play was the Irish tragedy, RIDERS TO THE SEA, by John Millington Synge, directed by MNorman Bunin. The second was a cutting from Oscar Wilde's delightful farce, THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, directed by Dorothy Thompsan, The final play was HANDS ACROSS THE SEA, from Noel Coward's TONIGHT AT 8:30 series, pre- sented by the visiting Penn Players from the University of Pennsylvania, The Christmas program was under the direction of Dr. Alvin Kronacher. Dr. Kronacher had come to the University of Delaware the previous year after a thrill- ing escape from Europe, where he had been a leading director in pre-Nazi Germany and later in Paris. Dur- ing his first year as Dr. Kase's assistant and adviser, he had aided in the production of CANDIDA, and had himself directed FLIGHT TO THE WEST. His handling of the Christmas Miracle Play was delicate and beautiful. The second three-acter of the year for the Players was THE MALE ANIMAL, by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent, directed by Dr. Kase. This howling comedy of life in a small college tawn was well received by the Mitchell Hall audience and by the soldiers at Fort DuPont, where the cast journeyed for one per- formance. James Quinn played the meek and befuddied English professor. Anne O'Daniel played his wife. Art Millman was the All-American menace and MNorman Bunin was the pompous member of the Board of Trustees. The Campus Play Festival brought the competitive spirit to Mitchell Hall for fair, The closely-contested Women's College Competitives resulted in a win for the Senior Class. The Delaware College Intramurals was copped by Sipma Tau Phi with Lord Dunsany's THE GLITTERING GATE, directed by Norman Bunin. A fitting climax to this very successful year in dra- matics came with the E-52 Players' lavish production of William Shakespeare's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, under the direction of Dr. Kronacher, who brought to this production all of his great Shakesperian background. Norman Bunin, who also served as assistant director, played that king of comics, Bottom. His com- panions in mirth were played by Byron Samonisky, Philip Decktor, Morton Schulman, Lloyd Jones, and Eugene Herbener. Phyllis White, Jane Hastings Sin- clair, James Quinn, and Stanley Bell were the lovers. Robert Bernhardt and Carolyn Miller were Duke Thes- eus and Hippolyta, Bill Pool and Dorothy Thompson wer; Oberon and Titania, and Layton Mabrey was Puck. To initiate the 1942-43 season, the E-52 Players again turned to a MNational Theatre Conference release, THE EVE OF SAINT MAREK, the stirring war drama by Maxwell Anderson. Just as they began to rehearse this story of a boy who is torn from his home by the war, the Players had their director torn from them by the same war, Dr. Kase received his commission in the Army Specialists Corps, and, on very short notice, was called to active duty. Fortunately, his wife, a member of the University Drama Group, was able to step into the gap and continue the direction of the play. How- ever, Mrs, Kase became quite ill during the final week of rehearsals, and THE EVE OF SAINT MARK again changed directors. This time it was Mr, Francis X. Gallagher, of the Wilmington Drama League, who, through hard work, whipped the play into shape by performance time, The Campus Play Festival this year was won on the Women's side by the Freshman class with a comedy, XINGU, under the direction of Jove Stecker. The Delaware College winner was MOONSET, presented by Harter Hall and directed by James Quinn, The E-52 Players have recently secured a new di- rector, Mr. Robert L. Durkee, also director of dra- matics at Alexis I. DuPont High School. As this book goes to press, Mr. Durkee is conducting rehearsals for ALISON'S HOUSE, by Susan Glaspell. Members of the cast include James Quinn, Phyllis White, Morton Schulman, Doris Workman, Art Millman, and Nor- man Bunin. THE PRINTED WORD It takes very little wisdom to perceive that there is a formidable barrier between those of us who can and those who cannot read; but it is to be observed that there is likewise a great distinction between the man who can read and the man who reads, To the last of these come the three great experiences of printed literature. It is a mem- orable hour when a boy discovers that printed symbols which have spoken to hiz elders speak, too, to him, that they are the language of persons far distant and of the mighty dead. It is a memorable hour when a young man discovers that there are small books and stately books, books that are only frivolous, and books that are the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. And it is a memorable hour when a man discovers that it iz not the word of authority nor of the critice that makes a book good; that it is good for him because he finds it so, because it speaks to his heart or to his eye or to his hand, William D. Lewis, Librarian. SPARTANS TAU BETA PHI 9 Y L - B - e JUNIOR PROM The Delaware College Junior Prom is the school's most famous tradition. On November 27, 1942, the walls of the beautiful new Field House echoed to the smooth blues of Jack Teagarden's golden trombone and the rhythmical swish of sixteen hun- dred feet. A new tradition was added to the ald with the first appearance of the Junior Prom in the magnificent Field Housze on campus. Blue Hen followed the two men responsible for the massive affair, clicking the shutters at opportune times. Art Stewart is President of the Junior Class, Manager of the undefeated Delaware football team, and a generally well-known character on the campus, Eddie Golin, among a variety of other prominent campus positions, was Executive Director of the dance. Both boys are in the Enlisted Reserve Corps. Home towns are Long Island, New York, and Wilmington, Delaware, respectively. Accom- panying Stewart is Miss Betty Jane Carey of Women's College, University of Dela- ware, Golin escorts Miss Jackie Brooks of the Tatnall School. It is a difficult task to review the past athletic seasons with the future in the uncertain state that it i. The war has greatly affected our school and its extra-curricular activities both directly and indi- rectly. Perhaps the branch most seriously hurt is that listed as athletics. Looking into the future, the coaches can only plan and pray that when the sea- men will remain to form a team to be put on the field. Already, players have been drafted, train space given to the army, and gas has been rationedall of which tend to force athletics into the background. Yet one of the most essential cogs in any branch of our armed forces is the type of quick thinking and perfectly coordinated person that only athletic train- ing and competition can turn out. The army, navy, and marines have been fostering physical fitness pro- grams, and these services have wvoiced the opinion that athletics should not llnly continue, but flourish. So, in reviewing the next few pages, let's not be- moan the fact that our stars have enlisted or been drafted. Rather, let's look forward to a bigger and brighter athletic future. FOOTBALL 1941 Not to be outdone in a year of unprecedented events which included a president's election for a third term and Japan's attack on the U. 8, the Delaware football team passed, kicked, and ran its way to an undefeated season. Up to the spring pame of the 1942 schedule, Delaware's record in the last 13 games stands at 12 wins and 1 tie. Looking back over the season we find that although there was some stellar ball playing by individuals, it has to be considered second to the fast-moving, smooth- working team play. This is easily seen by noting that Delaware's opponents, eight in all, amassed the grand total of 26 points. The Blue Hens traveled to West Chester and en- countered the teachers in their own back yard. All in all, that game provided a curious set of circumstances. As an opener, Delaware was originally scheduled to play Juniata. Because of the infantile paralysis epidemic Juniata was forced to cancel the game, and Coach Murray signed to play West Chester as a fill in. The net result was that Delaware had to remain satished with a 7-7 tiethe only blemish on the records of a perfect season, In the second quarter of the W.C.T.C. game, Wade Pitt, a freshman end, blocked a punt and two plays later, Bill Red Hogan passed to PRebel Sloan in the end zone for a touchdown., Al Newcomb made it 7 with a perfect placement. The third quarter found West Chester's aerial attack functioning. They topped off their pumerous threats with a six-pointer on a pass, and then tied the game with the extra point. Both teams seemed unable to move till Delaware began rolling at the end of the fourth period. The game ended, however, before the Hens could score, on the W.C.T.C. seven-yard line. Delaware's arch rivals, PM.C., came to Wilmington Park the following week and returned home a bit waorse for wear after a 20-0 lacing. After a first period punting duel, Delaware worked their way over the paymark for the first 6 points. Al Newcomb connected and the Hens led PM.C,, T7-0. Dutch Doherty set up the second with a 33-yard run, and Conrad Sadowski pitched the perfect strike to Thompson for a 13-0 count. Paul passed to Jarvis for the point. The last half saw Delaware hold a determined PM.C. eleven on the 3rd yard line for four downs, and then add a third and final counter to the score when Hopan slashed through from the eight-yard line. The try for the extra point was wide. Delaware won, 20-0. Utsinus was the next victim. The fans had to wait out a drive that was stemmed at the Ursinus 5-yard line, and an exchange of kicks before Red Hogan inter- cepted Talarico's pass and raced 30 yards for the score. Midway in the second quarter, Fred Sposato carried the ball for 32 yards to put it on the Ursinus 33. Dutch Doherty and Sadowski gave the Blue and Gold a first down on the 21. Schmid then took Hogan's rather bad pass on the 4-yard line and slid to the 2. Jim Buchanan on a quarterback sneak tallied on the next play. Late in the third pericd, Ursinus was forced to kick from their end zone. The bhall was downed on their 36, and was advanced, in Delaware's favor, 15 yards on a clipping penalty. Pitt, grabbing Hogan's pass, was downed on the 4-yard line, and Hogan opened the fourth period, plunging for a touchdown., The final score came when Paul took a pass from Hogan on the Blue Hen's 35, and ran it for the final 65 yards Score, 24-0. Boasting a passing record that rivaled little Davey O'Brien's, Dough Rehor and Co. of Dickinson tried to no avail to stem the Big Blue surge, The best they could do was escape on the wrong end of a 28-0 score, Co-Captain Jim Mullin started Delaware fans count- ing by recovering a blocked kick and running the re- maining distance to the goal in the first period, The juggernaut then stalled till the beginning of the third quarter, when it caught a Dickinson man in his own end zone. Following this, Doc Doherty took owver and tallied twice before the game came to an end. Continuing their fast moving clip, Delaware prac- tically swam their way to their fourth win of the sea- son, a 23-0 count over Mt. St. Mary, Not wasting much time, the Blues scored after a 32-yard drive. The Mountaineers got nowhere against a powerful Delaware forward wall and punted. Failing on two line plays, Hogan passed to Sloan who was brought down on the visitors' 13, Collaborating with Paul, Hogan ran the ball to the one, from which point the redhead took it over. Paul carried around right end for the extra point. Onece again Mt. 5t. Mary's attack failed to pene- trate Delaware's line and they were forced to punt. Bogovich broke through, blocked the punt, picked it up and ran to the 16. Two, plays later Sloan took Hogan's toss for a counter, In the second half, the Mountaineers moved the ball to the Delaware 30-vard line before they were halted. On the next play, Paul caught Hogan's pass and ran it 60 yards for the score. Woods started the third quarter with a 30-yard run-back. Coady punted and it was run back to the vigitors' 16, Pirt then intercepted a pass for the final marker, The Delaware powerhouse showed its greatest dis- play of offensive might against Swarthmore with a 47-7 trouncing. Swarthmore, however, became the first team to score the Hen's line. The first and only score of the initial period came after an exchange of pass interceptions, Hogan and Paul, bearing the brunt of the attack, brought the ball down to the eight-yard stripe. Coach Murray then put in his second team and Sadowski promptly passed to Barlowe for a touchdown, Paul had the honors next when he recovered a fumble and carried it 80 yards for a score. Six points more were added on a pass, end-run, and finally a plunge, Newcomb made good his try for the extra point. Al had another chance to split the uprights as he followed Baer's tally. Swarthmore helped nail their own coffin as Finnley recovered a fumble in his end zone for a safety. Coady next took the reins and drove the Hens to another score with the aid of an intercepted pass. Here the Quakers got mad and pushed across from the four for their only goal. Not to be interrupted, the Blue and Gold recovered an offside kick on the Swarthmore 45-yard line, Sadowski ended the counting with a touchdown heave to Sloan. The Drexel Dragons almost put the skids on the smooth-rolling Delaware team but the Hens managed, by wirtue of an extra point, to ke out a 7-6 victory. Paul and Hogan colored the first quarter with a couple of long runs, but never quite managed to hit pay dirt. The second period, however, gave the Murray- men fans something to smile about when Castevens blocked a punt and THOMPSON, on the recovery, raced 20 yards to score standing up, Hogan's try was wide but Drexel was offside and Delaware got another chance o score what proved to be the winning point. The Dragon's well-executed T-formation kept the Gold team on the defensive the remainder of the game. They scored when Hawkins took Michael's toss across the goal line. Co-Captain Jim Mullin blocked the kick, saving the day for his team. Not satisfied with having scared half the fans silly with the 7-6 Drexel decision, the team almost killed the other half of the fans in the final contest against Wash- ington College, Trailing 6-0 after three periods, the Hens finally found themselves and scored three touch- downe, to come out on top, 18-6. Washington tallied first when Yerkes, practically single handed, worked the hall to the 4-yard line and passed for the score. Finally aroused, Delaware plunged 81 yards for a touchdown. Newcomb passed to Paul, who took it 46 vards to the Washington 34. Hogan completed one to Buck Thompson for 6 points, Furman followed this with an offsides kick that failed and the Sho' men took over on the Delaware 48. After an exchange of pass interceptions, Sloan intercepted one and carried it to the 20. Hogan on successive runs took it over from the 2-yard line. A few plays later Thompeon ended Delawares soor- ing for the season when he grabbed Yerkes' pass and raced 40 vards for a score, The outcome of the '41 season was 1 Delaware was undefeated in thirteen consecutive games, 2 Hugh Bogovich received honorable mention for the All-American team, 3 Bill Hogan received honorable mention Little All-American, and 4 our cheering gection reacted as if they'd had a shot in the arm, 1941 SEASON Opponent We They West Chester Teachers.......

Not content to attain this new collegiate record for consecutive wins, the easy way, Coach Murray decided to step one class higher and schedule such supposed tough ones as Western Maryland, Lakehurst Nawval Training Station and Gettysburg, Figuring that this year's array of opponents would not be eacily dismissed, the coaching staff imported a host of talent from New Jersey and North Carclina and Pennsylvania. At the first regular practice there were well over 60 physical specimens on hand, This enormous roster was necessary, for there were plenty of first-string positions to be filled and capable replace- ments were needed. The army had taken such a galaxy of stars az William Red Hogan, Fred Sloan, Jabbo Jarvis, Jack Castevens and Jim Buchanan. Graduation had claimed co-captains Jim Mullen and Mel Brooks and Conrad Sadowski., In no time, however, first, sec- ond, third and fourth teams were chosen and whipped into shape. The opener this year was to be a blood game, After all, hadn't the West Chester Teachers, a last- minute fill-in last season, keep us from an eight-game undefeated and untied season by tying us in the closing minutes of the game, 7-7. More than likely, West Chester had decided that Delaware's streak had gone far enough and that they would finish what they started the previous year. However, the Hens had no trouble at all in downing the Rams, 20-0, and thus avenge the tie of the season before. Scoring twice in the second period, the first team, sparked by Paul's and Baer's end runs and Hart's line- bucking were pulled and the second team put in. Al- though their offensive play was spotty, their defense left little to be desired and they carried on until the third period. In the kst half, Hart, who had already one score to his credit, tossed one to Harold Thompson for the final touchdown. Once again Murray sulasti- tuted, but this time with his third and fourth squads. Facts worth mentioning in the opener were 1 the power and smoothness shown by the first team, 2 the second team's fine defensive play, and 3 such comers as Romanik, Malyk, Nash, Cole, Campbell, and Poale, Mext in line were the Drexel Dragons, who next to West Chester came the closest to upsetting the Hens the previous year. Not only the team went up to Drexel, but a good portion of what turned out to be Delaware's best cheering section accompanied them and pushed them on to an easy 40-0 runaway. It - seemed nothing went wrongevery time we turned around a Delaware man was scoring. Hart, Paul, Millman, Thompson, Baer all came in for more than their share of glory. Ongee again the second, third and fourth teams were given ample opportunity to prove themselves and gain necessary experience. October 3, 1942, came and went and number 15 was tucked safely away. Delaware had no time to rejoice the last two weeks' victories, Facing them was the toughest team they were to meet and probably the toughest team they had en- countered in many years, Not a college team, but a galaxy of stars, some college, some of All-American fame, and even some professional players that made up the roster of the Lakehurst Naval Training Station team. They had Jack Banta, Southern California star and Philadelphia Eagle halfback; Paul Spencer, All-Ameri- can halfback from Alabama; Brud Harper, former Captain of a Princeton team, Pete Goddard, a guard from Duke's latest Rose Bowl team, and Bill Horsting, a tackle from Northwestern, Cloge to 6000 people crowded into the Wilmington Ball Park to see if Delaware could perhaps hold the: Lakehurst team down and prevent them from running up a large score, The pre-game tension was terrific if the Blue and Gold players were one-quarter as nervous as their supporters, their chances would have been nil. The first period fulfilled all expectationsLakehurst was the better team, but Delaware was fighting hard. Jack Banta, a one-man show, had pushed across a touchdown, and with the conversion Lakehurst led, 7-0. However, early in the second period Hart and com- pany began to move and a Delaware score resulted. The conversion was missed and the sailors led, 7-6, at the half. In the second half the tables were turned and Dela- ware took the offensive. Hart took up where he left off and scored again. Late in the final period, a Lakehurst threat was halted when Jack Coulter, freshman guard, intercepted and ran back a pass 70 yards for the touch- down that put the game on ice for the Hens, Not only had the Blue and Gold stretched its streak to 16, but they had beaten Lakehurst, 20-7, and had by comparative scores placed themselves in the class of Princeton, Maryland and Duquesne, who beat the navy men, 20-6, 140, and 13-0, respectively. It mever rains, but it pours iz an old adage, but one look at the Wilmington Ball Park on October 17, 1942, and one would say that the above maxim was a gross understatement. It had been raining three days previous to this Gettysburg game and in some places the field was under three or four inches of water, Not the water on the field, the continuous downpour, or the fact that Gettysburg was considered one of the better small eastern schools could stop the Delaware steamrollers and the Bullets were downed, 13-0. Wiewing the game from the rain-scaked stands made it almost impossible to distinguish one man from an- other, let alone the man handling the ball. However, the game was all Delaware's. When their running at- tack slowed, they used passes, and it was a pass from Hart to Thompson that pave the Hens their first six Ip:Ioims, The other touchdown came on a plunge from art. Having dried off sufficiently in the week that had passed, the Blue Hens traveled to Carlisle, Pa., to see once again if they could stop one of the nation's best passers, Douglas Rehor. Luckily, they ran into him when he was suffering from an injury. As a result, he completed only nine out of 24 tries. The scoring for the afternoon showed Hart with ane from the two-yard line and Buck Thompson with two; one on a beautiful pass from Joe Coady and the other on an exceptional pass interception. Final score, Delaware, 20-0. Delawares second undefeated season certainly wouldn't be the same without one scare and so that honor was delegated to thie Hens' arch rivals, PM.C. At the half PM.C. led, 14-0, but at the final whistle Delaware was on top, 19-14. It took PM.C. two exchanges of punts after the opening kickoff. A pass scored the first touchdown after a long run put the Cadets in position. They were well on their way to a second touchdown when Buck Thompson intercepted a pass on the Delaware 11, In the second period P.M.C, intercepted a Delaware pass to stop their threat. The visitors then took over and another pass netted another score. P.M.C. led at the half, 14-0. Maybe it was what the ecach said between the halves, maybe it was what the coach didn't say, maybe it was the fact that their 18-game winning streak was being seriously threatened, or maybe it was the humilia- tion realized by the shellacking they were gettingat any rate, the Delaware Blue Hens marched onto the field an entirely new team. It took but a few minutes to see the Hens were going to click,. The Blue and Gold took the kickoff and marched 58 vards, with a pass scoring for them, Hart to Paul. Newcomb's place- ment was good. Delaware kicked off, but after the Cadets failed to advance they returned the kick and once again the Hens scored. Baer, Paul, Hart, and Malyk sparked the drive with Hart going over from the one. Newcomhb's conversion try was wide and the Cadets led, 14-13. In the final period two 15-yard penalties halted Delaware bids for scores. Paul booted one out in the coffin corner. Then the Cadets kicked to their own 18, where Delaware took over. Hart, Millman and Wood carrying with Millman accounting for most of the distance put the ball on the five with less than a minute to play. At this point those who hadn't bitten their nails off up to the elbow or fainted, collapsed as Malyk rammed his way over from the five. The placement was no good, but who cared? Continuing to play only fair ball, 2 Delaware team that had decidedly bogged down once more had to come from behind, this time to beat a hard-fighting Swarthmore eleven, November 7, 1942, should be called Paul Hart Day, for if it hadnt been for the Barrel Delaware would have left the field a badly battered and defeated team. The Quakers opened with a quick opening and drove 71 yards for a score and the extra point. Hart then tock over and marched 53 yards to match the Swarth- November 17, 1942, waz Delaware's biggest day and a big day for nine seniors on the team. The Hens were out to set a new collegiate record for consecutive wins and the nine men were going to play their last game for the University of Delaware. It was to be the last time they would don the Blue and Gold colors and fight for Blue and Gold wictory, There was Barney Hancock, hard-fighting center; Bob Furman, steady tackle, and place-kicker extraor- dinary, Laurelli and Carullo, two swell pluggers, George Barlow who should have started playing foot- ball sooner, Lee Baer, a hard-running back, and Dela- ware's equivalent to Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, the tri-captaing Walt Paul, Al Newcomb and Hugh Bogowvich, However, it was Paul Hart, now in the Air Corps, who passed and ran the Blue and Gold to its victory. He scored in the first period after a 56-yard drive. In the second period he took a pass from Walt Paul and raced 73 yards to a touchdown, then in the third period after a 73-yard march he went over from the six. Other scores were contributed by Coady on a plunge after an interception by Danny Wood, Han- cock on an interception, Paul on a fake kick which he carried 93 yards for the score, and Baer on a IEverse, The 1942 season was over and Delaware had gone 21 games without a defeat. Doubtless, this had over- shadowed many of the single performances such as 1 Hugh Bogovich being named on the Lirtle All- American first team, 2 Paul, Newcomb, Furman and Bogovich had played three years of first string EH and had participated in four years of varsity foot- Delaware totaled 196 points while holding their op- ponents to 28. The Williamson foothall ratings place Delaware at the 71st position. That's not bad consider- ing that there are over 3000 colleges in the country, more touchdown, but the conversion was no good.

The Hens pulled the first trick: out of the bag when the voting for a football captain was deadlocked three ways. So what's the difference? chorused Murray's musclemen-they had three captains, Ensign Howard Fahey faded back to toss the pass that might have let the Lake- hurst Sailors smash the Hens' streak, but quarterback Hess had pulled a boner when he called that play. Thompson and Coulter came in too fast for the ex-Notre Dame back and the crowd blew its top as the Haddonfield freshman snared the loose leather and scurried 70 yards to put MNo. 16 in the bag. Saby DiSabitino, elephantine clown of the soccer team, accidentally scored a goal for Western Maryland, did the same thing on a deflected corner kick against Navy. Beaming Saby announced his candidacy for the Hen Hall of Fame as the only collegiate player to almost get three different letters Loyola's soccer team lost to Delaware on, of all things, profanity. Beferee Jim Walder likes his booting minus the malediction. While the Hen defense gawked as if drugged, Ray Dath, West Chester center- forward, hammered home the goal that beat Delaware, 1-0, thus casually shattering their chance to beat a powerful team that had downed Penn and Temple, Meatly centered on the sport page of the Homolulu Advertiser was an article about a guard with plenty of fire on an undefeated grid team back in the States. Bogovich had hit Pearl Harbor. In the first time trials of the year mentor Lawrence clocked Bob Bush in the 150-yard backstroke, decided that he had better have his erratic watch checked. The watch was O.K.Bush had blown the record to the four winds, All three rings keep right on rolling! Baseball, always a popular sport at Delaware, en- joyed a successful season in the spring of 1942 when they won eleven games and lost seven. After a decade or more, Delaware baseball was to be in the hands of a new coach, William 5. Martin, A Duke University graduate, Coach Martin succeeded the venerable G, P. Doherty who had turned out outstanding baseball teams at Delaware for years, rank- ing with the best in Eastern Intercollegiate ranks. Coach Shack was greeted by a huge turnout, includ- ing ten lettermen, many up from the Jayvees and many outstanding prospects from the freshman class, Providing 2 nucleus around which to build a team were Captain Amos Crowley, stellar second baseman; Freddie Mitchell, shortstop; Conrad Sadowski, versa- tile catcher and outfielder; Lefty John Daly, Bill Tib- bett, Hugh Bogovich, Phil Dougherty, Perry Burkett, Barnie Runcie, Harry Irwin and Tom Scripps. Bob Wilson, Paul Hart and Sam Tait were the class of the freshmen, with Runcie and Wilson earning starting positions on the squad by the middle of the season. BASEBALL With ten days of pre-season practice, the Hens left for their annual southern trip during spring vacation. Their first opponent was Virginia Medical College at Richmond. Finishing up with a late rally, the Dela- wareans triumphed, 10-7. The next day Randolph- Macon defeated Delaware, 8-7. Bob Feller and com- pany entertained the Hens on the final day when the Morfolk Naval Training Station team defeated them, 5-1 and 6-1, Refusing to be awed by the presence of many former major leaguers, such as Chapman, Freddie Hutchinson, Vince Smith and Ace Parker, the fighting Blue and Gold gave the Tars their best collegiate oppo- sition of the year. Returning home the Hens were defeated by Temple and Aberdeen, after which a string of six straight vic- tories were scored. Johns Hopking defeated Delaware, 5.2, and P.M.C. won, 2-1. The Blue and Gold finished the season with three straight victories over the 199th Field Artillery nine, West Chester and Drexel. The Drexel game, played on homecoming day, was the most closely contested of the year. Behind John Daly's three-hit pitching the Hens shoved across a run in the eighth inning to win, 1-0. Delaware in 1942 accomplished something that no ather Hen team has been able to do for many years. That something being two victories over their arch rivals, Washington College. At Chestertown, the Dela- wareans rattled twenty hits off three opposing pitchers to win, 11-2, At Frazer Field in a return game, the Sho'men were downed, 3-2. Highlighting the season was the all-around play of Captain Amos Crowley. Crowley was the guiding factor in all of the Delaware wvictories and proved to be one of the most versatile players in Delaware his- tory, Teaming with Crowley in the infield combina- tion was veteran Freddy Mitchell. A timely hitter and an ace base stealer Mitchell always came through with that extra surprise, Sid Sadowski led the team in hit- ting, closely followed by Mitchell and Crowley. Lefty John Daly led the pitchers with five wictories and no defeats. Hugh Bogovich split even in six con- tests. Bill Tibbett and Jim Tait rounded out the staff with Big Bill also serving as an outfielder, SEASON 1942 ..... 10 Va.

Someone must have administered a mass mickey finn since no team possessing the high calibre players the Blue Hens had could possibly lose thirteen out of seventeen games, and thus finish with the anemic average that Delaware did. There must be some reason andwell, let's go back to the beginning. The middle of 1940-41 competition saw the team sans le coach, as the French say. Flucie Stewart, who was doing more than just a commendable job, was offered a position as head coach of the University of Tampa, and accepted. As a result, Joe Shields was given the task of carrying on. At the close of the 1941 spring semester he took a Red Cross job in Philadel- phia, once again leaving the chicks parentless. How- ever, this difficulty was soon solved as Coach Emory Adkins of 1941First Undefeated Season fame, versatile and portly baskateer from way back shoul- dered the responsibility and took up the reins, Things looked pretty good for the Gangster, as he is called. There were three of last year's first string- ers back, not to mention some of the varsity men along with more than a few good freshman prospects, The system would be essentially the same as that of Flucie Stewart, namely, the fast-break. This system, although nice to watch, is tough on the players and requires them to be in perfect physical shape. To k;? from running his first team in the ground, Coach - kins planned to carry a large squad. As the practices progressed, the team took shape, and the first five picked by the mentor consisted of three varsity men and two freshmen. Last year's men were Conrad Sadowski, Captain Fred Mitchell and George Barlow. The two freshmen were Barnie Runcie and Harold Buck Thompson, To back these boys were such veterans as Dick Reed, Bob Sieman and freshmen Ray Smith, Verdell Short, Harold Lee, Fred Sposato, Howard Hill and Wade Pitt. These men started the season. The first game which left rooters draped over the pool rail with exhaustion, saw the Blue and Gold nose aut a veteran P.M.C. team in an overtime game, 51-30. It was by virtue of a foul toss awarded George Barlow that the local fans were able to trek happily homeward, Freddy Mitchell scored 22 points, with Sid Sadowski and Barnie Runcie following in scoring. The set shots were going in and the boys looked wery good for a first pame. Buck Thompson proved himself inval- uable under the backboard and Runcie's speed and accuracy rounded out what promised to be a highly successful team. The high hopes, however, were dimmed when the Hens dropped a 37-30 decision to the West Chester Teachers. At this point, the midyear nemesis stepped in and claimed both Thompson and Runcie in addition to Sposato, a much needed substitute. Runcie, however, was only barred until re-exams were over. Midyears, therefore, had a lot to do with the squad's poor show- ing from then on. To partially make up for the loss incurred by exam- inations, Benny Crescenzi who hadn't been able to turn out because of a bad ankle joined the team. Benny isn't too fast, but more than makes up for his lack of speed with his clever ball handling and finesse. School resumed and the boys started off on the right foot, meeting and defeating Washington College, 37- 30, The Big Three, Sadowski, Mitchell and Barlow once again paving the way. West Chester, which took delight in being the thorn in Delaware's athletic side, followed Washington, but unlike them defeated the Hens for a second time, this time 42-33. i Delaware stepped in a high bracket in their next encounter and were trounced by a powerful Middie team from Annapolis, 51-20. The effects of the Navy game lingered with the Hens and they fell victims to a flashy Western Maryland quintet, 37-27. Drexel came, saw, and conquered the stunned Uni- versity of Delaware boys by ten points, the outcome being 46-36. Barlow was the only bright light for the Hens, gathering 14 pointers. Tired of riding backwards, the Hen team applied the brakes and outscored Randolph-Macon, 52-43. Looking like anything but a team which had dropped four straight, the Hens grabbed the lead and never relin- quished it. Scoring honors went to Captain Mitchell with 24, while Crescenzi was runner-up with 14, Continuing their winning ways, Coach Adkins' charges chalked up their fourth win of the sea80n, drubbing Haverford, 45-33. Crescenzi, Sadowski, Bar- low and Legates managed to garner 12, i1, 10, 10, respectively. Legates, who came out but a few games back, deserves more than honorable mention. Although not a born basketball player, he learned fast and tried hard, His six feet four inches helped out a lot under the backboard. Washington avenged their defeat at the Hens' hands, outplaying, outrunning, and especially outscor- ing them, 50-40. Barlow garnered 12 points to top the Hens' scoring, Ed Legates clinched the Swarthmore contest in an overtime period by sinking a foul and giving the Blue and Gold a 38-37 victory, Brooklyn Poly brought to Taylor Gym a team flaunting a 12-game winning streak, and the Brooklyn bunch had played some pretty tough aggregations, Trailing 29-15 at the half, Delaware overtook the Polytechnic men to tie the score, 37-37, In the final seven minutes, the Hens staved off a determined Brook- lyn rally to win, 45-42, and inflict the only defeat suf- fered by the Brooklyn outfit for the season. After the Brooklyn game, Delaware couldn't be out- done by mere M.D.s so they beat Johns Hopkins, 4640, After winning three in a row, the Hens relaxed and lost to Loyola, 68-41, Dickinson, 80-51, and PM.C. in a return game, 63-42. The Hens played an extra game when they traveled to Baltimore to play in the Mason- Dixon Conference championships and lost in the first round to Western Maryland in a heartbreaker, 43-44, RESULTS OF 1941-1942 SEASON We Opponent e I v e SR VL Washington College ............ i West Chester Teachers. .. .. el L e O N S .

These were Captain George Barlow who is playing his fourth and last season for the Blue Hens, Benny Crescenzi, Dick Reed, and Ed Legates, all seniors. Lost to the team were Fred Mitchell and Conrad Sadowski by graduation, Barnie Runcie who was ill and dropped out, and Harold Buck Thompson who joined the armed forces. Mid-years this time came before the season started and took its toll of freshmen first stringers. Two men that Coach Adkine was counting on proved victime of the Dean's office and were declared in- eligible. One of the men has left school and the other, upon taking a re-examination, was made eligible, Other wveterans reporting were Verdell Short who earned a starting berth, Howard Hill, Fred Sposato and Wade Pitt. Such outstanding freshmen as Bill Nash, Bill Cole, Donald VanBrunt, Reese White, Bill Bodely, and Carroll Hauptle turned out and have already seen service, In the opening game of the season Delaware dropped a heartbreaker to a strong Rutgers com- bine, 39-38, in the dedication ceremonies for the new Field House, After dropping seven straight contests, the Blue and Gold finally combined its efforts to upset a here- tofore undefeated Drexel Tech team in'a thriller on the home court, 32-30, The Hens played a steady game, taking advantage of the Drexel mistakes. Foul shooting proved to be the margin of victory for the Delaware quint.

The spark- plug of the Blue and Gold team, and the man re- sponsible for the majority of the team's scoring was the diminutive sophomore forward, Bob Ketchum, pacing the Hen goal-making for his second straight year, Ketchum's all-around brilliant play was by far the best on the field for Delaware, The Hens copped the season's opener against Western Maryland with comparative ease, domi- nating the play and scoring throughout, and win- ning, 4-2. Ketchum and Fernandez took charge of the local scoring, Ketchum getting 3 and the pride of Chile garnering the fourth. Agpainst Franklin and Marshall booters, the Hens had more trouble, but Ketchum was on, and man- aged to tally three times to sink the Diplomats, 3-1. The Blue and Gold led, 2-0, at halftime, but a Diplomat goal in the third period made a perilous margin until Delaware rallied its forces to drive through a clinching goal in the final frame, The Blue booters hit the big time when they traveled to Annapolis to do battle with the Middies. The result showed entirely too much Navy, the Sailors winning, 5-1. Ketchum, an injured Ketchum at that, hobbled from the bench to convert a pen- alty try for Delaware's lone score. The Hens cracked the win column after a discour- aging midseason leidown when they topped Loyola, 21, in a rough battle, which waa called midway in the final period, the victory being awarded to Dela- ware. The Hens had the decision earned, despite the forfeit. Ketchum and Siemen racked in one goal apiece to account for the score. For three periods Delaware kept on even terms with a crack West Chester Teacher eleven, but a single letdown allowed Ray Dath, Teacher forward, to dribble half the length of the field practically un- molested and drive home the winning tally. Lettermen for the season of 1942 were: Captain Siemen, Ed Legates, Jay Wingate, Harry Irwin, Jim Gottshall, Jim Walter, Bob Ketchum, Bob Chick Butler, Jack Lingo, Bob McMullen, Bob Scheuhing, Steve Vaughn and Manager Jack Rob- nson, SWIMMING 1941-1942 With only two men left from his 1940 swimming team, Coach Ed Bardo faced the coming season with little more than a prayer, plenty of paraphernalia and nobody to use it Weakened by graduation, the swimming mentor found it hard to Il all the positions left vacant. Captain T. D. Weldin and Robert Dickey, both breaststrokers, were the only men beside freshman backstroker Robert Bush that were assured of their positions. Other men reporting for practice were swimmers George Grier, Sam Frankel, Joseph Jarrel, Charles Walton, Ralph Newman, Paul Hyde, Jack Catts, Henry Lewis, Ben Zolpher, Robert Cofer and Art Millman. Divers were William Thistlewaite and Phil Doherty. There were weights that had to be carried while swimming so that when the swimmer entered an event, he felt much lighter. Then there was the trick of tying a man's legs together so as to develop - and perfect his stroke. Not to ever be forgotten were the webbed feet or fins as they were called. These were worn on the feet and one downward stroke sent the swimmer well on his way, In this manner his kick was developed in less than half the normal time. All those little tricks helped salvage three meets out of the scheduled nine. The most consistent winner on the team was Captain T. D. Weldin, who set a record for the 200-yard breaststroke in the Villanova meet. His time was 2:41:5. Figuring that this record had gone far enough, T. D. waited for more meets and broke the record again with a time of 2:40.7. In the Eastern Collegiate 8.A. championships he broke the mark once again with a time of 2:37.5. In the whole season of compietition he alone remained un- defeated, 3 Gettysburg didn't offer much opposition and were literally drowned, 58-16. Grier, Weldin, and Thistle- waite again copped first, but this time were accom- panied by Walton and Bush, In the next meet, with Villanova, Weldin set his first record of the season, but this wasn't enough as the Hens were downed, 51-24. Bob Bush was the only other man that earned.a first. Temple tried hard in the next meet, but couldn't stop the Blue and Gold from gaining their second win of the season, 46-26. Bill Robinson, a freshman freestyler took his events, but they weren't enough to put the Owls in the meet. Bt. Juseph's kept the Delaware percentage down, outswimming them, 44-31. The Weldin-Bush duo triumphed once more and this time were aided by Phil Doherty's excellent diving, The season came to an end with a 47-28 victory over Manhattan. Captain T. D. Weldin finished his swimming career here at the University with a win. SWIMMING 1943 Like the 1941 basketbal squad, the swimming team headed by Captain Joe Jarrell had its difficulties in finding a coach. The war took its toll when Coach Ed Bardo and his successor, Bill Lawrence, were called. Coach Bardo was to go to a Naval Training school and Lawrence took up work in a defense plant. Bill Lawrence took over officially in September, but didn't have a chance to display his prowess as a coach as he left school at the beginning of the second term. Joe Shields, a former coach here, took over the swimming reins, The team started training under Lawrence and con- tinued until December 25 when the semester ended. To form the nucleus he had seven lettermen from the 1941-42 squad. They were Robert Bush and Jack Dougherty, middle distance swimmers; Joe Jarrell, the captain of the team and a fine sprinter; Sam Frankel and Jack Catts, distance men, and Bill Thistlewaite and Phil Doherty, divers. Since the second semester has begun, the army claimed Phil Doherty, but he has been ably replaced b'!? Richard Althouse. To date, the University of Delaware swimming team has gained four wins cut of five starts, losing only to a powerful Temple University squad that has won eight straight meets over the best college swimming teams in the country. Delaware trounced Swarthmore, 50-21, in its opens ing meet, and followed this triumph with an over- whelming 55-19 win over LaSalle College. The third straight victory was registered over Loyola, 38-37, in a close meet that was decided by the final event, and then the Hens turned on the heat to down the West Chester Teachers College, 49-24. The only defeat suffered by the Hens came at the hands of Temple, 52-23. The only bright spot of the meet was that Jack Dougherty, sophomore breast- stroker, gained a win in his event and is thus still un- defeated in this event, The Delaware University Track Team brought their 1942 season of competition to a close with a hfth place in the ten-team Mason-Dixon Conference Championships. Coach Ed Prince replaced ex-Coach Ed Bardo when the latter left for the nmavy. He wasted no time in putting the boys through their paces. The more experienced men returning were Captain Ames Betts, Norm Lord, Martin Vaughn, Pierce Hollingsworth, Jack Phillips, and Norm Maxwell in the running events and Bob Furman, Conrad Sa- dowski, and Lee Baer in the held events. The only consistent winners were Norm Max- well, Lee Baer and Bob Furman. Perpetual Mo- tion Maxwell ran the mile, two-mile or both in the same meet, if need be. He could be seen day after day running tirelessly around the track from before practice until after the last man had gone in. Baer and Furman took care of the shot-put, javelin and discus throws. 1y Johna Hophins . .....cocaiiivoiiaeiis 77 DEARTE L e e A 49 2 Penn.

TRACK 1942 Coach Edmund Prince introduced a new athletic sport to Delaware fans when he added cross-country to the long list of athletic endeavors by the Blue and Gold. Prince wasn't greeted by too many candidates, but he was able to salvage an ambitious team that gave their all for him. Although the first year record was none too im- pressive, losing four out of their five meets, the sport shows promise of growing here at the Univer- sity and with a larger turnout, Coach Prince will turn out winning teams in the coming seasons. Different than maost sports, scoring is very strange in a cross-country meet. The team with the most points loses, The Hens opened with Franklin and Marshall and were downed, 17-38. Then the Blue and Gold met a strong United States Naval Academy Plebe team and were defeated, 15-40, The third straight setback came at the hands of Loyola College in a close meet, 26-29. Following this meet the West Chester Teachers College turned back the Blue and Gold, 16-39, A hard-fighting Delaware team gained its only win of the season when they gained a close 27-18 victory over Johnd Hopkins in the final meet of the SCASON. Delaware was among the seven cross-country teams that entered the Mason-Dixon Confercnce championships and finished ffth, GOLF 1942 Claiming the smallest number of followers for a varsity sport, the Delaware Golf Team, which was ably coached by Emory Adkins, had a fairly disap- pointing season in 1942, They won two, lost four, and tied one match. The first match, played on the dificult Lancaster Country Club, was lost to Franklin and Marshall by a score of 7 to 2. Western Maryland beat Delaware, 8 to 1, on the college course at College Park. The Blue Hens got an even break with the Villa- nova linksmen, After having lost to the Wildcats, 614 to 214, in the opener at the Pennsylvania Coun- try Club, they came back to win, 514 to 314, at Newark. The Delaware golfers then played a 3-to-3 dead- lock with New Jersey State Teachers College and suffered a discouraging 9-to-0 defeat at the hands of Swarthmore, The final match of the seazon was a brilliant vic- tory for the Blue Hens. Journeying to New York, they defeated the previously unbeaten Fordham Rams by a score of 514 to 314, Letters were awarded to Captain Bob Goldey, Ray Burnett, Eugene di Sabitina, Chick Butler, and Bill Plummer, TENNIS 1942 In 1942, for the first time in a number of years, Coach Ralph Jones was at a very serious loss for experienced players, Lost by graduation since the previous successful season were: Captain Al Mock, Will Habicht, and Trux Boyce. However, three lettermen were left: Bob Walls, Captain Thomas Jordan, and Dick Reed. In addition, one promising, experienced non-letterman from the previous season, Bud Haines, reported. However, the other two positions on the team were hotly contested by: Harry Smith, Bob Siemen, Dick Geiger, Ed Bradley, and Ivan Herr. As it turned out Harry Smith played all season at the MNo. 5 position, and Bob Siemen played all but the first two matches at the No, 6 spot. In the doubles, Walls and Haines played No. 1, and Jordan and Reed played No. 2. However, the No. 3 spot was wide open through- out the season with Coach Jones trying every pos sible combination of players in order to find a win- ning combination. To open the season, the Blue Hen netmen trav- eled to Western Maryland, There they received a setback, 7-2, from a team playing its fifth match. The team's hopes arose after the next match, for the Hens trimmed the Villanova Wildcats on the lat- ter's courts with Walls winning the only match at No. 1 that he won all season. But it wasn't long before the balloon broke, for two days later West: ern Maryland trimmed Delaware, 8-1, on the new Delaware Courts. This was the first official match to be held on the new courts. Then the team seemed to take a nose-dive, for they walked off the West Chester courts with their ears still red from an 8-1 shellacking handed them. MNext day they met an anything-but-weak Swarthmore team captained by Dick Mayfield at Swarthmore, only to walk off with another 8-1 drubbing. However, the next match was a different story, for here the Blue Hens trimmed the Brooklyn Poly courtmen by the slim margin of one point, defeating them, 5-4, on the Blue Hen's courts, But the Drexel netmen showed unexpected stamina in the next match upon the home courts by defeating Delaware, 5-3, Last of all, the Delaware team had the novel experience of traveling to the Temple courts. They left Newark on a train, changed to a subway in Philadelphia, changed from the subway to a trolley, and then at the end of the trolley line walked a half mile to the Temple Stadium. After all that traveling they were trimmed to the by then familiar tune of B-1. Gee, this gas rationing is tough. Bud Haines must be commended for his average for the year. He won more matches than any other member of the team. Final record of the year: Delaware won 2 and lost 6 meets, WRESTLING 1943 The newest addition to the University of Dela- ware's sports program is wrestling. The wrestling team is under the very able coaching ability of W. Shack Martin and the well-known Captain Bill Laurelli. The team, this year, started out with only hopes and a little doubt as to how well it would do; however, with plenty of fight and willingness to learn, it came through with an enviable record for a new-born team. The wrestling team began its season against Loyola University in Baltimore and defeated that team by a score of 25-11. The next team that the Blue Hen Matmen encountered was from the Lakehurst Naval Air Station, the team that dealt us our first defeat by a score of 179 After this setback, the Delaware wrestlers were out to avenge themselves and did so in the match of the following week against Washington College when the Blue Hens defeated the Washington, mat- men by a score of 25-13, With this match won the wrestlers from Delaware were on the right path again and were getting ready for one of the strong- est teams with which they would meet during the entire season, Swarthmore. The boys went out on the mat and worked with everything that they had in an all-out effort to defeat the foe, and this they did, Swarthmore was defeated by a score of 25-11. This was the Blue Hen's first major victory. The next match dealt a heavy blow to the Delaware matmen when Johns Hopkins University held them to a 21-13 score. The spirit of these boys was not dampened by this upset, because they knew that they would again have the opportunity to tackle the same opponents on the following week-end at Mason-Dixon Conference. Delaware came through with the major victory of the year to win the cons ference which was quite a feather in the hat of the Delaware wrestling team. There were four cham- pionships taken by the Blue Hens which were as follows: 128-pound classRuss Wilson; 135-pound class Horace Ginn; 165-pound class George Lucas; heavyweight classHarold Chubby West. The fact can alse be mentioned that the Delaware matmen did not place less than second in any weight class. Those placing second were: 121-pound class Ed Pinckney; 136-pound classWilliam Red Tawes; 145-pound classTom Waller; 175-pound classEd Carullo. The final score of the conference was as follows: Delaware, 38; Hopkins, 32; Loyola, 8; Gallaudet, 4, and Washington College, 2. With this sort of season tucked under its belt, the University of Delaware can be very proud of its first wrestling team and can give its praiseworthy team a good round of applause. CHEERLEADERS Football is unique among sports in that the spec- tators participate in the game as much as do the players. The cheering, singing, and general enthu- siasm of a student audience at college football games furnish one of the main attractions of the afternoon for old grads and townsfolk alike. Football without cheering, singing, and college rivalry lacks public appeal, This is demonstrated by the relative popu- larity of professional as opposed to college football. Mass cheering and singing is an essential part of college life, not only because through it football games are made more colorful and vital contests, but also because it engenders school spirit. School spirit is that which makes a student want to par- ticipate in all the scholastic activities bhe can. It makes him want to see his team victorious. It makes him take pride in both the intellectual and scholastic achievements of his fellows and to strive for such achievements himself, not only because he wants personal glory, but because he also wants glory for his university, School spirit is the stuff all Delaware cheerleaders are constantly trying to spread through- out the whole student body, As far as winning contests goes, the past two years have been the most successful ones in the history of football for the Blue Hens. Students, pro- fessors, alumni, all have become very proud of their connections with such a successful football team as Delaware has had. This iz a healthy reaction. It in- dicates a growth in school spirit. Simultaneous with the advent of a winning football machine has come a shortage of gasoline and rubber, which has in turn forced many commuters to live on the campus. Once in residence at Delaware, commuters take an interest in scholastic activities. This also means a growth in school spirit, ! The cheerleaders have capitalized on these simul- taneous effects. They have worked through several hours of practice every week during the foothall season and a full afterncon at every football game, sometimes with discouraging results, The only reward they want is something to show for their efforts, and this year they got it. They got cocperation from private individuals; they got cooperation from the University bandno request ever made of the band by the cheerleaders was ever refused; they got co- operation from the student bodies of hoth Delaware College and W.C.D. The spirit shown by W.C.D. in both the 41 and 42 season was a constant source of encouragement for the cheerleaders. As the true Delaware spirit continues to manifest itself, the cheerleaders can be counted upon to do all in their power to promote it. By definition, the cheerleaders are among the -most rabid supporters of school spirit, If they were not, they would not be cheerleaders. UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE COACHING STAFF MurrayWilliam Murray, head coach of the greatest team ever to represent the University of Delaware on the gridiron, became director of athletics at the University in September of 1940, He is in charge of a department consisting of the business manager of athletics and three ingtructors in physical education, Murray, a graduate of Duke University in 1931, participated in varsity football and track at that school; and in 1930 he was selected as an All-Southern halfback.

A new era in Delaware football history was born with the coming of Coach Murray to the Blue Hen school. In the past three years his teams have won twenty games, tied one, and dropped three. AdkingThe duties as head coach of basketball and goli, and line coach of the foothall team at the University of Delaware for the past two years have gone to Emory E.

MartinWilliam 5. Shack Martin, backfield coach of the Blue Hen football eleven and head coach of baseball and wrestling, came to the University of Delaware in September, 1941, as successor to Joe Shields. Joe resigned from the Physical Education staff at Delaware to accept ;tsnglibh as a Beld representative for the Southern Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Foss. Martin came to Delaware from Kentucky Military Institute in Lyndon, Ky, where he served for five years as football and baseball coach, Shack, like Bill Murray and line coach Emory Adkins, is a graduate of Duke University, where he was captain of the Elue Devil boxin team and 125-pound boxing champion of the Southern Conference. He also played ba.srha.a and was a member of the cross-country team at the North Carolina institution, PrinceIn September, 1941, shontly after the resignation of Gerald P, Doc Doherty as graduate manager of athletics at the Umiversity of Delaware, President Hullihen announced the appointment of Edmund Z. Prince to the position of business manager of athletica at the niversity. Since that time Prince has also served as head coach of Delaware track and cross- country teams and as assistant basketball coach, A native of Brockeon, Mass,, Coach Prince graduated from Springheld College, Mass, in 1932, with a degree of B.S, in physical education, For three years Prince was associated with Lord Balumore High School at 3Etnl'l View, Delaware, as coach of basketball, football, baseball, and track. From Ocean View he went to Claymont, Delaware, where he served in the same capacity at Claymont High Schoal, Joach Prince is also well known as a badminton player, having been runnerup to Joe Shields for the Delaware State singles championship in 1938, 1939 and 1940, In 1938 he won the Delaware State men's doubles championship paired with H.

LordLast September a new addition was made to the Blue Hen stafl of football mentors in the person of Norm Lord, Norm became coach of the ends on Bill Murray's undefeated, untied 1942 eleven and handled the assignment masterfully. Lord, who is a senior student at the University, expects to graduate in April. He will then enter Officer Candidate School along with other members of the senior advanced R.O.T.C. group. Norm was married last June to the former Miss Jelly, chief dietician at the University u? Delaware Commons, Lawrence, Harry Willis Bill Lawrence is remarkable for his versatility. In addition to his coaching duties, he plays the piano and acts both of these he has done on the professional stage, and has carned a Master of Arts degrec in English, He is happily married, e T e v . 1 Three years ago, scarcely a person could have pictured the University Delaware with a brand new, up-to-date field house gracing its beautiful campus. But when Presi- dent Walter Hullihen announced last December 2 that construction was at last to be started on the long-dreamed- of edifice, and that the building was to be completed by the beginning of the 1942-43 basketball season, Blue Hen sports enthusiasts learned that their dreams were to become a realicy. Only half of the proposed unit has been constructed, funds i'ur its construction being provided by Mr, R, M. Carpenter, trustee of the University of Delaware. The recently constructed portion of the field house contains a commodious entrance lobby, several rooms for adminis trative purposes, and a central room, 110 feet sgquare with a ceiling 40 feet high, which includes three basket- ball courts, an indoor tennis court, and a seating capacit of 1400 for games. The building also provides for .m.dy- ball, boxzing, and wrestling, The General Assembly appropriated $750,000 to be allocated in specified amounts among certain school dis- tricts for building purposes, provided the designated dis- tricts furnished certain offset amounts before September 1. 1941. The act then stipulated that any portion of the $750.000 appropriation, up to $100,000, that was not matched with the required offset by the schools, should be made available to the university for the proposed R.O.T.C. drill hall and field house. Iinwcw.r. hopes were shattered at this point, at least temporarily, when the entire $730,000 was absorbed by the schools, and no balance was left for the university building, Then, with no funds available trom the state, Mr, Car- penter offered to furnish Delaware's share if the balance could be obtained from Washington, After lengthy inter- views and many conferences between Dr. Hullihen and WPA authorities in Washington, the University received letters from the WPA indicating that approval of the project had been given, but that authoniation to start construction could not be given because of a lack of unemployed labor which the law required on a WPA project of that kind. This decision seemed to indicate indefinite postpone ment; since there was small likelihood of any increase in unemployment in the near future. At this point it was suggested to Mr, Carpenter that he provide funds for that part of the building which was most urgently needed, and that the dnll hall and military storage sections could be completed later. To this proposal Mr. Carpenter most generously agreed. An added attraction was added to an already crowded Alumni-Alumnae Reunion program when it was announced that the cornerstone for the new University of Dela- ware field house was to be laid at 4:30 P, M., on Satur- day, May 13, 1942, The cornerstone exercises took place on that memorable May afternoon beneath a blistering sun, Music by the University Band opened the ceremomnies. Following this, President Hullihen introduced the Reverend William R. Huston, who pronounced the Invocavon, Reverend Hus- ton, one of the university's oldest graduates, received his degree from Delaware in 1884, and is believed to be the oldest alumnus still actively engaged in the ministry, He is pastor of the New London, Pa., Preshyterian Church, and it was in that town, situated a short distance from the Delaware line, that the Academy from which the University of Delaware has grown was opened to students 199 years ago, After Dr, Hullihen had presented the plans for the building to Mr. Alex . Taylor, Jr., representing the Delaware School Auxilisry, Governor Walter W, Bacon was introduced and he made a brief address. Conrad Sadowski, winner of 11 varsity letters, who was selected as the outstanding athlere in the senior class 1942, then read a list of the articles placed in the cornerstone box, After Quentin Rand, Cadet Major of the R.O.T.C. Battalion, had placed the box in the re ceptacle, Dr. Hullihen presented Mr. R, R. M. Carpenter. Jr., who was given a trowel with which to place the first mortar on the cornerstone. The ceremonies were concluded with the passing of the trowel to Dr. J. Fenton Daugherty, president of the Athletic Council; Capt. Gilbert E. Chase, of the Military Department representing Col. D, M. Ashbridge; Cadet Major Rand; Conrad Sadowski, and William D, Murray, Director of Athletics, all of whom placed mortar on the stone, FIELD HOUSE BROWN HALL On Saturday, May 23, 1942, the new men's dormi- tory was formally opened. This magnificent building, constructed at a cost of $316,000, was the gift of Mr. H. Fletcher Brown. In December of 1942, the Board of Trustees officially named the building Brown Hall, in honor of its generous donor, The building was started in October of 1941 and finished in May of 1942, It has facilities for 67 stu- dents and in addition there are thirteen suites for the faculty and the Directress of Men's Dormitories. In the basement of Brown Hall is a large recreation room with ping-pong tables, a place for dancing, a card room and a kitchen. It is completely equipped with electric stove, refrigerator, dumb-waiter and dishes enough to serve 250 people. The first floor has a beautifully furnished foyer or reception room, also offices for the Business Guidance Bureau and the Directress of Dormitories. The major part of the first floor, however, is devated to a spacious and magnificent lounge, with paneled walls, a huge fireplace, and luxurious furnishings, The students rooms are all equipped with inner- spring mattresses, armchairs, and desks. The whole building is a marvel of luxury, beauty and good taste. The Directress of Dormitories is Mrs. Victor Man- ley Patterson, who holds a B.S. in Psychology from Caolumbia University, The official housewarming was held on Saturday, May 23, 1942, at which time, with appropriate cere- mony, a fire was lighted in the fireplace, refreshments were served, and the building was officially opened. Since then it has been the custom to hold several large house parties during the term, Every Sunday eve- ning there is an open house to which boys may bring guests and have a social evening. Tea and other re- freshments are served. The latest innovation has been an open house every other Saturday evening, Boys bring dates, use the recreational facilities, and have a wonderful time. Brown hall is fast becoming the social center of the campus, and is responsible for many new and pleasant events, : We are doing our utmost to render service to all of our patrons under present war- time conditions. 1k Jas. l Mullin Sons, In-:. 1.': !11 and .l'l uiar!;cl m 'ri!mingf.on The Family's Fashion Store DELAWARE COACH COMPANY e o l Compliments of Continental American Life Take her to dance where shell LOVE it!
