Brooklyn, y. Y Nov. 5.-The football
game between the Eastern High School Of
Washington and the Erasmus Hall High
School Of Brooklyn proved TO be very
one-sided competition here to-day. for the
Brooklyn lads swamped the visiting dele
cation TO the tune OF IS TO O.
The contest was witnessed by 1900 peO-
pie. and they enjoyed the spectacle des-
pite the easy victory of the home team
1t was a case of being outPlayed as the
the visitors equal 10 the work as shown
by the Erasmus eleven.
Captain McNulty was almost a team in
himself, and he made runs Of fifty and
sixty yards. and even picked his way
through for a touchdown after a kickoff
covering seventy-fve yards. His punting
was remarkable for school boy. averag-
ing fifty yards every time. lie missed
two tries for goals after touchdowns in
the fifteen attempts.
Washington managed 10 get first down
only once, and then it was due TO a FUN
bic. The first half ended IS 70 G.
The scoring occurred less than a minute
after the whistle had started hostilities
Whether the boys from Washington were
the victims Of stage fright or could not
do any better is hard TO say They were
simply outplayed from the start and
never got into any kind of a stride.

only in tackling did the losers show any
form. McGifin stood out brightly all
through the game. and one or two other
players made good captures. but time and
again the Erasmians would be tackled
and break loose again when they should
have been downed hard
Capt. + Farmer showed up well, bat
he was hurt a couple of times in the
scrimmages. Martin, one Of the regu-
lars Of the Washington eleven. was not
in the line up. and his absence was
felt.
After the contest the Washington
coach declared his team had, OF course.
been outplayed. but he took defense be-
hind the weight question, claiming the
local team TO be much heavier. Statistics
fail to carry out his contention, how
ever. as the Brookland boys We're weighed
two days ago and averaged exactly 146
pounds.
II was speed and all-around knowledge
Of football. and no lack Of weight. that
brought the defeat. In order 70 show the
superiority Of the winners IL Is necessary
only TO quote the fact that Erasmus es-
sayed the forward pass twelve times in
the first half without a hitch. On the
other hand, II never worked when the
boys from Eastern High put il into ac-
ton.
In puntinE they were woefully weak
the ball almost invariably rising straight
in the air. The crowd was very fair and
impartial and cheered the few good plays
of Washington 70 the echo.

AoR1cULrURE AT DELAWARE COLLEGE

THAT the authorities OF Delaware Oollege
i propose to pay attention TO their agrieul-
ture course is manifested by bulletin issued by
the faculty announcing plans for the future OF
that department The courses in agriculture have
been completely reorganized, and it is proposed
20 make every effort to win young men OF this
State TO pursue farming. The authorities OF the
college realize that many successful men are now
turning their attention to agriculture, as a result
OF which great advance has been made in the
method OF conducting farming operations. Many
OF the students who have taken the agriculture
courses are holding good positions as managers
OF farms or as instructors in other institutions.
1t is pointed out that men who hope to succeed
in modern farming methods must have thor
ough preparation for such occupations.
The bulletin states that instruction in agrcul-
ture has been offered at the college since 1872,
but only recently has it been possible TO obtain
modern equipment for the department so that it
would compare with the agriculture teaching ia-
ciities offered in other State colleges
The farm now provided for the department
consists of 200 acres of varying kind of soil, the
land being divided into fields OF about twenty
five acres each. Two OF the best fields have been
set apart for use in the horticultural department
These will be devoted to experiments of fruits
and vegetables Another twenty-five acres will
be used to experiment in different kinds of soil
treatment, and from this splendid results are ex-
pected. It is hoped that the new barn with the
modern conveniences and appliances will be ready
for use soon after the opening of the college year.
Buildings and sheds and other equipments are to
be added when needed. The farm is now equipped
with modern machinery and tools, attention being
paid TO making these as valuable possible.
There are also on the farm fine specimens of
horses and mules and a herd of pure bred cattle,
a flock of sheep and herd of swine will be added
TO the equipment when the new barn is COM
peted.
The college offers four courses in agriculture,
one Of which leads to degree. The special
courses and the winter course would seem to sup
ply all that might be needed to make the instruc-
ton attractive and practical The students in
either of the four year courses, in the two
years special course, will be required to work
fifteen hours a week on the farm, and for this
labor they will be paid at the rate Of 10 cents per
hour.
The requirements for admission are not diff
cult, and except in the four-year degree course
the only qualifications for admission are that th.
candidate must be at least sixteen years OF age
and OF good moral character.
Now that the college has started with good
equipment and with full course it should draw
many young men who would like to learn agr
culture according to modern methods.
