COLLEGE SPIRIT

Delaware fought her last grid
iron battle last Saturday after
noon on the home field amid a
host of friends and the consequent
enthusiasm. The entire student
body, dressed in uniform. was on
hand and did it's duty nobly by
way of encouraging cheers. while
the college band added much
spirit to the occasion.
The game was one Of the best
ever seen in Newark in spite Of
the fact that the visitors greatly
ontweighed the home team. Del
aware played the game well, both
of Dickinson s touchdowns being
made on tukes.
The spectacular feature Of the
game occurred near the close Of
the first period when Delaware
gave the greatest exhibition Of
holding ever seen on the field.
Dickinson had been gradually
carrying the ball, mostly by trick
plays, closer and closer to Della
ware s goal. On a play at the ten
yard line Goldstein took the ball
and when he was downed the pig
skin was within a foot of Della
wares line. Although three at
tempts were made. Dickinson
could not gain the few inches
needed for a touchdown and lost
the ball on downs. after which
Taylor kicked out of danger.
Quarterback Huston sustained
compound fracture of the nose
during the game. He was tackled
while attempting to run back
punt by three Of Dickinson s
players. The bridge Of his nose
was broken and the cartilage was
fractured in two places.
The mishap occurred in the
first quarter and he pluckily con-
tinued playing throughout the
game.

lelIdl. l. Of ABOUT Infee-IOllftnS or
a mile from what is known as the
Jimtown road, which lies a few
PAGES at the south of the Laurel
Seaford road, the work of placing
stone on the highway has been
started and the entire distance,
with the exception Of a few yards
has received the first coating. COM
posed Of mixture of stone aboat
the size of a hen egg and cement
The road proper is IA feet wide
and is in the center Of the two hun
dred feet survey. 1t is understood
that on either side the roads for
teams will be constructed. and that
being built now is speedway. 1t is
said that this fourteen foot road
will be constructed first. The
spread OF stone now being placed
is four or five inches thick, and it
is said the depth will range from
six inches to one foot. This will
depend on the kind of soil. For in
stance, if piece Of land is encoun-
tered where there does not seem to
be a solid bed, the material will be
placed about a foot thick so that
heavy loads will not break through
In some places the abutments are
twenty-ei ght feet. while in others,
where the right Of way has not
been secured. they are only about
twenty. Near the almshouse the
road has been graded twenty feet
wide. Within a distance of about
two miles four culverts have been
placed under the roadbed so as to
drain the road. On both sides
bitches have been cut which lead to
bitches of the county. All along
the stretch from the Laurel-Sea-
ford road to the almshouse, small
cutters have been cut from the
roadbed through the abutments so
that the water can be run into the
bitches adjacent, thereby making
the fourteen feet where the stone is
being placed dry.
''To haul the stone and other
building materials, strings of teams
are kept busy, while two large and
powerful engines, sinilarto thresh-
ing engines. are kept constantly
running between this town, carry
ing two and three large cars prob
ably holding twenty tons of stone.
This week there has been about one
hundred men to work on the con-
struction part, while there are
probably this many more hauling
the materials. The county roads
along the two-mile stretch, which
make into the highway are being
repaired at Mr.. DUPONT s expense
in order that better time can be
made in hauling the road-buildiEg
materials from here, to where the
gangs are at work. On the main
road from here to MillsbOrO, a
short distance from the almshouse,
the United Gas Construction Com
pany of Philadelphia have placed
some of their road-building mate
rial on sandy plot as a test piece.
The material is said to be refuse
from gas plants and resembles tar,
and is given the name OF 'Ugltc.
1t is understood that the company
placed the building material on
this sandy stretch without making
any foundation just to test it out
for the purpose of ascertainlng
how long it will wear. All along
the line from here to Selbyville
work is progressing nicely, and it is
learned here that the bridge that is
to span the pond at Millsboro Will
be completed within a few weeks II
the weather continues to be favor
able. So far as can be learned no
stone has been placed on the road

Director Hayward and Prof.
McCue represented the College on
The Good Farming Train that
spent last week in the southern
part Of the Delaware Chesapeake
Peninsula. AS a rule, seven stops
were made each day Of one hour
each. At each stop three speakers
made addresses occupying 20 min
utes each. During the week about
$500 people were reached in this
way. Much interest was mani
by the discussions. as well as by
meeting so many men engaged in
their own line of work.
Professors McCue and Gran
than will attend meeting of the
Maryland Horticultural Associa-
Tested on the part Of those attend
ing, some cases schools being dis
missed and the pupils coming in a
body to the train, where they We're
given a special car and the speak
ers adapted their talks to the
school children. The results OBJ
tanned were such as to convert the
most sleptical to the value of this
form of extension teaching.
The work has already begun on
the second floor of the West Wing
for Dr. Reed s new laboratory. 1t
is hoped to have it completed by
the time he reaches here at the be-
ginning of the next semester.
DR.. Cook who, has resigned to
accept a similar position at the
New Jersey Experiment Station,
expects to leave Delaware Decem-
Der 4. He goes with the good
wishes of his co-workers. and all
trust that he will have the same
degree of success in his new field
that he has had in Delaware. -
The new dairy building at the
College Farm is now well under
way, and it is hoped to have the
roof on before winter sets in.
The College Farm has sold a
very fine Guernsey bull calf to
Hon. Oliver A. Newton. Presi-
dent of the State Board of Agri-
culture.
Prof. Hayward delivered two
addresses at the New Castle
County Teachers Institute on
Monday, of this week. His sub
jects We're: "How May Agricul-
ture be Successfully Taught in
the Public School," and "How
Shall the Teacher Prepare Her.
self to Teach Agriculture in the
Public Schools?'
Prof. Thompson and Mr.. Whit
tier attended the meeting of the
Official Chemists at Washington
this week. They also spent some
time at Johns Hopkins in consul.
tation with the expert chemists OF
the university.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

President Harter and Director
Hayward represented Delaware
College at the meeting Of the AS
sociation of American Agriculture
al Colleges and Experiment Sta
tions. held at Columbus. Ohio, No
vember 15-17. Owing to the fact
that number Of other Agricul-
tural organizations met at the
same time. the attendance was un-
usually large. Among the asso-
Citations of Agricultural College
workers that met at this time
were: the Association Of Ameri-
can gronomists. the Association
of Animal Nutrition. the Ameri-
can Farm Management Associa-
ton. and the Association for the
Advancement of Agricultural
Science. The National Grange al
so held its annual session at the
same time.
Prof. Hayward was among the
speakers at a joint meeting Of the
Farm Management Association,
! the Society for the Advancement
Of Agricultural Science, and the
American Society Of Animal Nu-
triton.
The general sessions of the AS
sociation of American Agricultur-
al Colleges and Experiment Sta
. tions were unusually interesting.
One of the most important topics
discussed was. "Shall We Ask For
Further Legislation in the Inter-
ests of Agriculture? If so,
What? 20 This question was open
ed by Dean Davenport. of Him
ois, President Stone. Of Indiana.
and Dean Hunt. of Pennsylvania.
The remarks Of the speakers We're
based largely upon the three bills
now pending in Congress looking
towards additional Federal appro-
rriations for Agricultural Educa-
tion. 1t was the concensus of
opinion that additional apprO-
prlatlOns were sure to come. and
it was the hope Of the association
that it could have some influence
in directing the course these ap-
/ preparations would eventually
take. 1t was felt that one Of the
greatest needs for more appro-
priatiOns was for the purpose of
preparing teachers to teach agri-
culture in the Secondary and Pub
lie Schools, and it is quite prob,
able that the next session Of Con
gress will make some provision
for this purpose. 1t is estimated
in case these bills pass the next
Congress. that Delaware will re.
ceive about 100000, which prob
ably will be used almost entirely
for preparing teachers to teach
Agriculture and Home Economics
in the public schools.
Among the problems discussed
in the college section was one en-
: titled. "Means of DISCOURAGE
Extravagant Expenditures anC
Snobbery Among University anC
College Students. y Another was
''The Means of Promoting Health
full Social Activities in the Stu
} dent Body
In the Experiment Station sec
ton whole afternoon was givel
to the discussion Of ethics of Elk
pertinent Station work. the speak
ers being: President Fl. j. Waters
