the extension department of the
N. j. Agricultural College. Mr..
Frank B. Hills, from the Mas
sachusetts and Iowa Agricultural
Colleges, succeeds Mr., Carl Chris
topher as instructor in Animal
Husbandry.
The Division of Animal Hus-
bandry is training a team for the
Intercollegiate Dairy Cattle Judg-
ing Contest to be held in Chicago
the last of October. In the pre-
paration for this contest the CON-
petitors for the team will visit a
number of the best herds in Della
ware and Pennsylvania, and some
of them will probably attend the
Interstate Fair at Trenton.
The Agricultural Extension
Division is very active at this time
in collecting the data of its co.
operative experiments carried on
in various parts of the state during
the past season, and in planning
experiments for fall seeding of
wheat. There are about 800 CO.
operating farmers in the state at
the present time.
The old order in athletics at
Delaware College is a thing of the
past. The old gridiron is buried
beneath the surface of our magnifi.
cent Frazer Field; the old baseball
diamond, with its sloping, ir-
regular infield and its heavy grass
outfeld, has given way to model
diamond, entirely separate from
the gridiron; the one-sixth of a
mile track in the meadow is re-
placed by a quarter mile track with
its 220 yard, straightaway, almost
unknown among the colleges of the
East. To the already well-equip-
ped gymnasium, has been added a
tile-covered swimming pool, % #.
wide by 80 #. long. In charge of
all athletic matters is the Athletic
Council, composed of two men,
bers from the faculty, two from
the alumni, and three from the
students, with the Physical Direct.
ors as General Manager.
The outlook for the football team
is fairly encouraging. There seems

a dearth of candidates for the back.
