Members Of Athletic
Council Elected

With the reelection at the meet
ing of the faculty on Monday of
Dean E. Laurence Smith and Pro-
fessor Charles A. McCue, as men,
bers of the Delaware College Ath-
letic Council the entire seven
members of the Council have been
chosen for the college year 1915

senting the faculty, Dean Smith
and Professor McCue, both re-
elected; representing the Alumni,
DR.. Walter H. Steel and Norris N.
Wright; representing the student
body, Gerald P. Doherty, Jr., Leroy
B. Steele and Donald P. Horsey.
Dean Smith, Professor McCue and
DR.. Steel, have been members of
the Council since it was first or
ganlzed three years ago. Mr..
Wright succeeds Joseph McVey as
one OF the alumni members. Each
year the three upper classes of the
student body are represented on
the Council with one member each
and this plan makes it necessary
for new members from the student
body each year. The student mem
bers last year were, Linden Owens
John w. Jones, and Harold Horsey
Coach William J. McAvoy is gen,
eral manager and an ex-officic
member of the Council.
The Athletic Council has done
excellent work since it was organ
lied several years ago. This body
has control of all college sports
and under its management ath
letics have been better conducted
than ever before in the history o:
the institution. The management
the two past years of the Inter
Scholastic meet by the Council il
an illustration of the good worl
that it is doing.
, The Council will organize at
) meeting to be held in few days
Dean Smith will probably be re
electer president.

Hogan lmpresses
Connie Mack

Jake Hogan, the local southpaw,
had his second workout of the year
at the Philadelphia Athletics Park
on Monday morning. Hogan pitch
ed for about half an hour to Ira
Thomas, the right-hand man of the
Aethletics' great manager. Connie
Mack, however, stood back of
Hogan and watched closely each
ball the twirler pitched. Both he
and Thomas made numerous sug-
gestions as to how Hogan could
improve his style of delivery. That
Mack is favorably impressed with
the work of the local twirler is ev-
ident from the fact that he re-
quested him to return after the
close of the regular season for an
other work out at Shibe Park. 1t
is possible that Hogan will pitch a
game for the Athletics .on a barn
storming trip.

County Roads
Being Repaired

Extensive repairs to the i'm
proved roads of New Castle coun-
ty are being made at the present
time, the repairs including the re-
of a number of the
main travelled roads. In connec-
tion with the repairs, experiments
to determine the relative merits of
many types of binders are being
conducted.
The road leading from St.
James Church to Newark is being
repaired and resurfaced. This
road was in a very bad condition,
the surface being worn away and
large holes worn in the road.
The portion of the State Road,
from Wilmington to Farnhurst
has also been resurfaced and
treated with binder preparation
Concord Pike, from McKee's Hill
to Talleyville, has been treated
with a binder and repaired.

Football Season
Opens Saturday
DelaWare Men Play At Chester

Coach McAvoy is gradually get
ting the Delaware College football
eleven i'll shape for the opening
game of the season with Pennsyl-
vania Military College at Chester
on Saturday. The last scrilnmage
of the week was held this after
noon. Tomorrow and Friday after
noon the squad will be put through
signal drills and practicing the for
ward play.
Delaware will likely have a
much harder proposition with p.
NJ. c. this year than in former
seasons. Bill Hollenbach, the
former L. of P. star, is coaching
the Chester eleven and has some
excellent material. They also have
an advantage over Delaware i'll the
matter of training, as Hollenbach
has been working with his squad
nnch longer than McAvoy.
Coach McAvoy will not likely
announce the lineup of the team
that he will send in against p. NJ.
c. until Friday, but most of the
varsity is now known. Captain
Handy, will no doubt play full
back, while Taylor at half and
Fidance at quarter are sure to start
the game. For several days Wei
! din, the former Wilmington Friends
star was tried at halfback on the
: varsity, but recently switch was
made i'll the lineup. Weldin was
! moved to the line and Bratton taken
from the varsity line and placed i'll
: the scrubs backfeld. Lowe, a
: a freshman from Knoxville, Tenn,
: took Weldin's place at halfback
e on the varsity, and he will no
doubt be started i'll that position
J, against P. NJ. c. Bratton seems
Il to be improving every day, and
may yet land position i'll the var
s sity backfield. Chester Smith, who
r was looked OIL as possible varsity
n backfield man this year because Of
u the fine work he did on the scrubs
G last season, has been prevented
4 from getting out to practice regula,
II on account of having a late Clas:

Crowd Attends Oxgord Fair

Many Newarkers mingled in the
crowd of ten thousand persons who
attended the Oxford Fair last Fri
dav. The attraction to many was
the race track whcih was in fine
condition, and trotting time fast.
The PA class was changed to a
special, and with three starters
was an agreeable disappointment
to the crowd. The horses finished
neck and neck in all four heats.
The 2.2S trot was a walkover for
Royal j., but the 2.21 resulted IN
several close drives, J j. M, OF
Coatesville, winning out.

Hen At College Farm
Breaks Worlds Record

North American Egg-Laying Com
petition being conducted at the
Delaware College Farm, on Sun
day laid her 27Sth egg in $50 days.
The little hen to perform this not
able feat weighs exactly 3 1-8
pounds, and her seemingly modest
performance makes her the great
est utility hen the world has ever
known.
The previous authenticated
worlds record is 286 eggs in 365
days, made by Columbian Queen
last year in the third international
egg-laying competition.
Lady Byzantine, which is the
name of the new worlds champion,
has thirty-fve days in which to
add to her fame, and barring acci-
dents she should pass the 300
mark. This white Leghorn world
beater is an American-English
bred hen, and her breeder is
Philadelphian.
In the first year of the competi-
tion the high individual record,
254 eggs, was made by a Rhode Is
land Red from Kentucky. In the
second competition an English
bred and owned white Wyandotte
laid 282 eggs and held first place.
The third year a Columbian Ply
mouth Rock won the highest hon
ors with record of 286 eggs.
Now the worlds record for in
dividual egg production is held by
Lady Byzantine, a white Leghorn,
and is the first time this variety
has attained first place. But it
should be borne in mind that this
phenomenal white Leghorn still
has thirty-fve days in which tc
add to her already matchless fame
Lady Byzantine has produced
more than twelve times her owr
weight in pearly eggs in less thar
, eleven months, and with each one
, of these measuring 2 IA inches
{ long, she has built a monument tt
: herself greater than ffty-four fee
: high. From this pinnacle Lad,
!. Byzantine sings the praise o
/ American chicken breeding aloni
e scientific lines.
r Lady Byzantine has been a con
| sistent layer. She has had no ser
: ious break during the year. Mex
v year she will be bred with a NAL

An Exceptional Educational Opportunity Given
Three Days of Next Week
"The Helping Hand.' Renouf

1.-The Helping Hand" by Emile
Renouf, has a charm which appeals
alike to young and old. The pictur-
esque costume of the French fisherman
and of the child are not the only rea-
sons for this, nor is it chiefly due to
the realistic painting of the picture
though both of these qualities add in
terest. 1t is the humane touch por-
trayed in the face of the fisherman.
1t is typical of the fearless, honest,
seafearing race of men of the coast
of Northern France. 1t is rugged and
weather beaten, but playing over his
strong features is an expression of
tenderness of affection for the little
child besides him which makes the
picture favorite with all who know
it. Then the sharp contrast of
strength and power in his figure, with
the more delicate features and figure
OF the chi!d conveys the feeling of the
strong watching over the weak-a
sentiment which finds sympathetic
response in almost every human heart.
Of course the picture itself, or ar
adequate reproduction must be seen tc
appreciate its beauty. This picture
and two hundred more of equal in.
terest can be seen at the Elson Ar
Exhibition to be held for the schools
here in Langdon on Wednesday
Thursday and Friday of next week
Visit the exhibit at the school while
it is here, see what pictures you
children will study, and add your in
tiuence to the movement to increas,
art appreciation among the schoo
children and the people of our hom
community.

COUNCIL ORDERS BILLS PAID

The minutes of the November meet
ing of the city council are confined in
the main to the receipts and disburse-
ments of city funds. The report Of
the city treasurer. shows having re-
ceived since the date of the October
meeting the sum of $53. OF, money
from the county treasurer and pound
fees collected by the chief of police
during the month. The chief outlay
in city warrants was bills incidental
to the taking of Charles Scho]lberg
to Rochester hospital and the expenses
of the undertaken and burial, which
amounted to about $50 in addition to
the sum of money that he had with
him when he died. Maintenance and
supplies for city poor, street work and
lighting made up the balance. of
items for which bills were allowed by
the council.
