NO FOOTBALL AT HAVERFORD
Fears That Pastlme Would Interfere
With Military Course Cause Aban.
donment Of Game.

After tenure Of almost forty years
the great American game of football
will be abolished at Haverford college
this season. 1t was believed that the
pastime would materially interfere
with the students army training
course. Wednesdays and Saturdays,
both big days for football, will be de-
voted to military work. Interclass
games alone will struggle for existence.
An entirely different program has
been adopted by Swarthmore, which
was approached on the subject. Here
the schedule will be played out as
planned, unless. government regula-
tions forbid such procedure, which is
unlikely.
According to Dean Alexander of
Swarthmore. "the students need recre-
alton and as football provides the nee
essary sport the institution will, if pos
sible, continue competition"
The annual struggle with Haverford,
which must now be abandoned, came
as a rather severe blow to the Garnet,
but failed in any way to alter its de-
termination to see 1t through. DIR. Roy
Mercer will be retained and the sport
run on the best basis possible.

CAREER ON TURF OF
CAMPFIRE IS ENDED
Wilson's Great TWo-Year-0ld
Will Long Be Remembered.
Son Of olambala and Niehtfall Never
Speedier Than When He Broke
DoWn-Colt Was Sufferer Of
Autointoxication.

No breeder in the United States,
taking the number Of mares in his
string into comparison, can show
greater measure Of success than Rich
ard T. Wilson, the president of the
Saratoga Association for the Improve
ment Of the Breed of Horses. While
Wilson had until recently only about
half dozen mares, he always had
horse Of more than ordinary quality
racing under his cOlors that was the
OutcOms Of his own theories in mating,
while in Campfire and Hannibal he
secured two first-class horses.
"The general public will never know
how good a horse Campfire was," said
Wilson few days ago in discussing
the possibilities Of the son of Olam-
Eala and Nightfall as a sire. 'rHe was
never greater than when he broke
down, and the morning he went wrong
I think he could have worked faster
over Belmont Park than any horse
that was ever trained there. While
he did great things as a twO-year-old
when he topped the list of winners
In this country, he was, in my opinion,
destined to accomplish still greater
things later in his career.
81 have always had my own opinion
concerning Campfire, and nothing will
make me believe that he was not
sufferer from what we would call au.
tOintOxication in the human family. 1t
was this which interfered with his
training and kept him from taking the
same pride Of place as three-year-
old which he occupied at two. This
season he appeared to be himself
again; but now his racing career Is
ended and the public will have to re.
member him as very great twO-year-
old.
"There are breeders in this country
who have been prone to overlook the
greatness of some of our American
families while unduly exploiting the
merits of others. We are oil ready to

"Virgil spent many Of his best years
In obscurity; was used as hack horse,

Rats Destroy Quantities
Of Food; Government. Has
Plan to Destroy Rodents

It frequently happens that losses Of
young chickens attributed to the depre-
dations Of hawks and to other causes
are due to rats. There is no more de-
structive pest about the poultry yard
than these. Coming like the thief in
the night and usually leaving no visi-
BILE marks of their ravages, they es-
cape, in large measure, the relentless
hunting down that they deserve. Not
only are they destructive to young
chickens. but they prey upon the egg
supply throughout the year.
The United States department of
agriculture points out that anyone, by
care and industry, may free his own
premises of these rodents, but that he
is helpless to prevent an early recnr.
renee of the trouble unless he can Sc.
cure the active cooperation of his
neighbors. The department urges
therefore, that wherever possible the
destruction of these pests be a commu-
nifty undertaking.
The same effort, it is pointed out
that is made by individuals working
Independently, if organized on a com.
munity basis would be many times
more effective. The. department has
worked out and tested definite plans
for the destruction of rats, in common
with other rodents, and information
concerning the matter can be had by
writing the department.

OF INTEREST TO
POULTRY GROWERS

Chickens will ''pick up" good part
Of their living from waste that other
wise would never become of any value.
They will feed themselves to an ex-
tent from grass, weeds, insects and
crumbs and small scraps that If not
eaten by chickens would not become
Of food value to man. They will eat
the eggs and larvae from which come
various destructive insects, particu-
larly orchard pests. In some orchards
where chickens range the brown-tail
moth has almost disappeared, while
nearby orchards where chickens do
not run are damaged by the pest.
Most Of the attention required by
farm flocks can be given by the wom-
en- and children of the leusehold. The
question of labor is not q puzzling and
uncertain problem in the poultry pro-
duction program. If the farmer in
creases his flock to size suitable to
fit in as a by-product Of his general
farming he will find that it will not
require extra help.
Because of these facts-that poultry
as a. by-product Of general farming
find much of their feed in waste and
require no extra labor-the farmer
will produce meat food at the very
lowest cost. Home consumption of
this will cut down his living expenses
and enable him to sell more of the ami
NAL meat he produces. He will be
making more money himself, and at
the same time he will be helping Uncle
Sam win the biggest war the world
has ever known.

CAGE BALL IS LATEST
GAME PLAYED IN ARMY

Cage ball, one Of the latest
additions to the long list of
training camp sports conducted
by the war department COM
mission on training camp activi-
ties, bids fair to become one of
the most popular athletic diver
sions among the soldiers and
sailors.
Cage ball combines the play
value Of several games. It has
the rush and drive Of football,
the exciting moments of basket
ball and the rough hustle and
tussle of the class rush.
The game can be played by a
dozen, a hundred or a thousand
men; there is no limit to the
number Of players. Thus the
weak and undeveloped may have
the same experience, pleasure
and profit that is given to the
skilled athlete who plays on a
team whose players are limited.
And the aggressive fighting
spirit, 80 invaluable on the bat
tlefield, Is stimulated.

with tablespoonful each of flour and
