Scrubs TRIM VARSITY

With Bratton in Backfield
Second String Men Score
on First Eleven
DEAF AND DUMB TEAM
PLAYS SATURDAY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Nov. 16.-In no game
played on Frazer Field this season
has the playing been more spirited
than It was between the varsity and
scrubs in the mid-week scrimmage
yesterday afternoon. Bratton star
back OF last years team, was in his
first scrimmage. and this seemed TO
give the scrubs encouragement, as
they played the varsity off their feet.
The scrubs scored one touchdown and
kept the ball in varsity's territory
most of the time.
Bratton, who only recently returned
from the Mexican border, where ne
had been with a Maryland regiment,
does not seem to have lost any OF
speed and line plunging ability. Sol
iiering for four months has hardened
him and he seems in excellent physi-
cal condition. He hit the varsity line
hard yesterday and always made con-
sistent gains.
with Bratton playing first half
back, the scrubs had a strong held
in the field and one that viii make
the varsity hustle at any time. Roach
played fullback. and Marston' who
player second half, scored the scrubs
touchdown. Smith run the team from

Those are the arguments against

such powerful arguments that many

SOUTHERN DEMONSTRATION
WORK

The results of the 1915 work in
home demonstration among women in
the Southern States have now been
tabulated by the Office of Extension
Work in the South of the States Rela-
tions Service. The summary shows
that in the canning clubs 32,613 girls
were enrolled, in the poultry clubs
1854, and in the bread clubs3, O26.
More than 100000 pounds Of toma-
toes, vegetables and other fruits were
canned. The average profit from each
tenth of an acre that the canning
girls were required to cultivate was
$24.O1.
In the demonstration work among
the parents 6,871 women were enroll
ed and the total attendance at the
demonstration meetings was 1885.
Two hundred and fifty rural commu-
nifty clubs are now in existence. The
summary also includes a report on
the number of labor-saving devices
and home conveniencies made by the
women under the direction and with
the assistance of the demonstration
agents. These. devices include 2,181
fireless cookers, 1923 fly traps, and
a large number of iceless refrigerat-
ors, wheel trays, etc. Six hundred and
sixty-one houses were screened as
result of the work.
Much of the demonstration work
in poultry raising, cooking, home
dairying, etc, is of a character that
can not be easily summarized in ia
bles of statistics. The results however
have been very significant. In Vir-
ginia, for example, 670 members en-
rolled in 70 poultry clubs. One of
these women cleared a profit of
