interesting Things concerning the trip;
while q Inchin gave a report of the con-
ventiOn proper. Garrison, who, of course

active in Y. M. c. A. work at Purdue

activities in that chapter.

talk. He praised the work OF the Y. NJ. G.

themselves with this helpful organization.

the Honor System, Athletics, loyalty to

good old Delaware YELL
Monday afternoon, Professor Pence
gave very interesting lecture, before the
Agricultural Club, on Soil Surveys. Pro-
lessor Pence has recently been employed
by the Bureau of Soils and is thus in q
good position to handle this subject. He
emphasized the value of the Soil Survey,
not only to the government but to the
farmers and investors as well. This is a
subject that the people in general are not
acquainted with. However its value is
self evident and hence cannot help but
create much interest in the near future.
This afternoon at three O'Clock Mrs. De
Gamo will give a lecture in the college or

Last SATURDAY. the college was the scene
of grand mix up as far as the foot ball
was concerned. The Scrubs were sche-
duIed to play St. Johns Academy and all
preparations were made to that effect.
About 8 A. M. the Fort dupont team ar
rived in Newark with the expectation of
pIaying the Delaware Schrubs. The Della
ware manager soon informed them that a
game was impossible SO they left on the
next train. However another surprise
awaited the Schrubs. About noon the st.
Johns manager teleeraphed that it would
be impossible for his team to play. Thus
the whole day was big disappointment.
Yesterday afternoon the Freshman foot
ball team defeated the Elkton High School
team by the score of 10 to 0. The stars
for the Freshman were Martone and
Rhodes. This is the second victory out of
three games played.
