DAY, NOVEMBER ' 22, 1915. NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTING RATES It is the fixed policy of The United Electric Light and Water Company to furnish Electricity to the lowest rates consistent with good service. In carrying out this policy the Company has during the past four years made the following reductions, and introduced the following new rates: Compound rate for Business Lighting introduced on September 1st, 1912. Maximum lighting rate reduced from 12 cents per KWHr. to 11 cents per KWHr. on February 1, 1913. its customers at Minimum monthly charge for lighting reduced from $1.00 per month to 50 cents per month Flat rate for display lighting introduced on April 1, 1913. on February 1, 1913. Flat rate for residence lighting the same as the Hartford rate, introduced on April 1, 1913. Maximum lighting rate reduced from 11 cents per KWHr.to 10 cents per KWHr.on January1,1914. Compound rate for residence customers introduced on July 1, 1915. As each of the optional rates introduced has meant a material reduction to some class of customers, it can be seen (hat in effect the Company has made a total of seven reductions, each of which has resulted in lower cost to some of its lighting customers. In furtherance of the policy of reducing rates, the Company has, after much study decided to introduce on Jan- uary 1st, 1916, further modifications, effective only within the City limits of New Britain, which will result in re(.iuced. Details will be announced shortly. See next announcement in this cost to a large majority of its lighting customers. paper Wednesday, November 24th. YALE WILL SEE MANY CHANGES (Continued from Eighth Page.) lection of a captain this year may Inark a decided change in Yale's pol- cy of managing her football, and hat instead of vesting all the power the captain, including the appoint- ent of the graduate coach, part of is should be given to the general thletic committee, or a representa- ive body in which the alumni would ave a voice. For years Yale has eld to her theory of leaving under- raduate activities entirely in the ands of the undergraduates them- lelves with little or no faculty aduate supervision. Some years ago an investigation to atHletic financial affairs dis- fosed a condition that led the facul- y and alumni to take a hand in the atter, to attempt to bring order out chaos and at the same time to late to some extent expenditures br the different branches of athle- cs. The undergraduates, however, 'ways have guarded jealously their leged right in the main to man- ge their own affairs, e wmatter of the appointment of paches, selection of captain and the ke. Graduates Get Dissatisfied. On the other hand, a growling ssatisfaction among graduates has en noted, especially during the last hif dozen years or more, and a sen- rent has crystallized for curtailing a considerable extent the rights d nyivileges of a football or base- 11 captain for example. Those o advocate this say that exactly he same condition of affairs pre- iled in Yale’s rowing department long as the captain was the courf last resort in the selecting of men r the boat and that this was chang- only when Coach Guy Nichalls installed and received a free ‘When Yale’s reorganized athletic pmmittee was formed some time ko it was thought that that was the st step looking toward this end. t as yet the committee has acted bly in an advisory capacity in the seball and football matters, and in previous years the captains in h i#anches of sport have had the al say in matters governing them. During the fdotball season just psed a large .number of graduates ve expressed themselves freely as ing dissatisfied with the under- duates management of affairs ath- lic, and have prophesied that the jne would come before long when decided change would be inaug- ated at Yale. Moke Power for New Coach. fChe matter of selecting a football pch for next season or for a suc- lon of seasons has been or | especfally in ' cussed pretty generally during last month or so and the consensus of opinion seems to be that the next football coach will be chosen through the influence of the Yale Athletic committee, and when selected he will have much more power than has been given any coach of recent years. There are to be found a good many Yale graduates who maintain that, as long a8 Walter Camp, for exam- ple, was practically in charge of Yale football and Yale captains de- pended on his judgment for every move made and his word was prac- tically law, victory perched on the Yale banner a good deal oftener than it did on the other fellow’s. They do not hesitate to state that in their judgment the change in the success of Yale football teams as a whole was coincident with this change in authority. Numerous men have been men- tioned as likely candidates for the ! job of reorganizing Yale football and becoming permanent football coach, if it is decided that a permanent coach is the solution of the difficulty here. Stagg of Chicago and Williams of Minnesota have becn mentioned as Yale men of wide enough exper- ience and practical football know- ledge for the job, but it is stated | that neither would be likely to wish !to undertake the proposition he:m even if the place was offered. Fourteen men on the Yale squad of twenty-nine players who won their 'varsity letters in the Princeton and Harvard games will not return | play football for Yale next year. The 'list is, Capt. Wilson, Guernsey, Weid- eman, Higginbottham, White, Von Holt, Walden, Savage, Miller, (fhat- field-Taylor, Conroy, Way, Roberts and J. Sheldon. There remains a large number of promising men, however. . HAVARD HAD BEST - DAY OF SEASON (Continued from Eighth Page.) face. Moreover, there is no reason to doubt that Cornell, playing Yale a | week after the latter’'s Princeton game, when the Blue wasn’t as keen as against the Tigers, would have made a big score also- Two things are true of Saturday’s game, that Harvard was a splendid team and much better than at any other time of the season, and that Yale was exceedingly poor. The exact adjustment of how much it was one and how much the other is one of those perplexing questions ever arising on such occasions. But that Yale, with the very best that could have been of its material from the outset, could have escaped defeat by the Harvard of last Saturday is en- tirely unlikely. ~ For one thing, Yale to | ELECTRICITY FOR EVERYTHING. § THE UNITED ELECTRIC LIGHT & WATER COMPANY New Britain, Conn., November 22, 1915 the ! and that the Haughton method of get- ting results is superior to anything Yale has, cannot be doubted until Yale proves otherwise. The burden of proof, even with material of equal possibilities, is on Yale. Yet, considering that Cornell was 10 to 0 better than Harvard in Octo- ber and without Barrett for most of the game, that the Cornell squad was composed of men as big, speedy, earn- est and intelligent as Harvard’s and therefore just as susceptible to im- provement, Cornell cannot be dis- missed as a mere unimportant inci- dent in an otherwise as big a tri- umph as Harvard and Haughton have experienced. Near the close of the Harvard-Yale game a wail went up from the end stand, “Oh, you Shevlin!” It created ,a laugh and did strike those who heard it as funny, but if it was meant in a spirit of derision for Shevlin and what he had accomplished it was de- cidedly unfair. Shevlin did a big thing for Yale, no matter whether his team beat Harvard, tied Harvard or lost to Harvard 50 to 0. Without him Yale wouldn’t have beaten Princeton: There was precious little that he could teach the Elis in the short time he was with them, but he did not put went far toward beating Nassau. And them in the frame of mind which that is quite as substantial a factor in considering which side is the bet- ter as are yards gained. Tigers Not “Seclf-Beaten.” Princeton was less ‘‘self-beaten’ than she was beaten by Yale. The expression in quotation marks does not do justice to the Blue for a fine effort. Shevlin took the Elis when they were hopeless, and with his help they won one of their two big games. Under the circumstances the defeat of Yale by Harvard, crushing though it was, was by a team infinitely Yale's superior and does not detract from i Shevlin’s reputation as a human tonic. | The personality of the man accom- " plishes more t pl twice has employed at a late hour to glve Yale some semblance of an of- ' fence; yet there were several times when the shift split the Harvard line with a completeness which may mean that it has greater possibilities than its belated use by Yale has ! shown. Harvard, Yale and Princeton are done. The first named although most of the regulars will go, has left its productive system which develops competents to fill vacancies and coaching which brings the material up to a high state of individual and team proficiency: So Harvard doesn't; have to worry much over depletions caused by graduations. Gilman, the efficient tackle, is to be back another vear, it is said, and to be next cap- | tain. | Yale’s prospects contain as assets ian excellent lot of material, varsity men who remain, still better material { among the ineligibles, some of whom { will be eligible next vear, first class ! timber from a strong freshman team, dis- i never has as good backfield material i and the realization of the urgent need ; han the shift which he | of some man or system which will sec that the matcrial gets the proper handling. Princeton will have a strong nucleus of material, most of this year’s varsity men r ining, and good prospects among the freshmen, as well as the second year of a coach who gave every evidence of being the right man in the right place, the man to lead Princeton out of the realm of the second class. Columbia Still Undefeated. Columbia is still among the unbeat- en. The defeat of N. Y. U. was a victory worth while, particularly for a university at which football is prac- tically new; and the work of the team in winning all of its games to date :in the first ‘year of its existence is a i credit to itself and to its coach. The big games remaining in this part of the country are the Penn- Cornell and Army-Navy fixtures, the one in Philadelphia on Thanksgiving Day, the other at the Polg Grounds i nekt Saturday. New York also will have Thanksgiving Day scarps. One {is Columbia vs. Wesleyan, and this the Morningside legions look upon as their hardest game. On the same day N. Y. U. plays Rutgers and Ford- bham meets Villanova. Were the Army-Navy people to number their plays, most onlookers | would have a more definite idea as to | whether they were playing football or imitating a bunch of milling cat- tle. Non-use of numbers belongs with wooden cars and muzzle loaders. | It is senseless, inconsiderate and | ought to be archaic. Still, maybe the writers wouldn’t do any better with numbers. That was the opinion of a stern visaged gent who stood in the press box on the Stadium last Sat- urday and declared in a terrible voice that “these——— New York reporters couldn’t get plays right if the players had their names painted {on their backs.” PIRATES IN TIE GAME. The Pirates of this city played the ! Acorns of Kensington yesterday af- ternoon in Kensington. Neither side scored. Tobin and Welch played the best game for the Pirates. Root and Roche were the star players for the Acorns. The nearest the Acorns came to scoring was to get the ball on the twenty-yard line, when they lost on a fumble. The Acorns play the Don’t Worrys of Meriden Thanks- giving afternoon at 3 o’clock in Ken- sington at the railroad field. They would like to hear from the Federals of New Britain. PAWNEES WIN AGAIN. The Pawnees) defeated the Corin- thians of Hartford at Traut's field, 19 to 0, yesterday afternoon before a good sized crowd. Kraus, Neurath and Larson did the scoring for th> Pawnces. The game was hotly con- tested in the first period, but after that the Pawnees demonstrated their superiority and had things their own way. Frisen and Hogan did some very strong defense work in the line. BOWLING DATES FOR HOLIDAY WEEK Manager Rogers Arranges Convenient Schedule for Knights of Pin i and Ball Manager George C.

The | Pennsylvaniang won a 7 to 6 victory last year, having snatched it in the last few minutes of play, and Ford- | ham is out for revenge this year. Villanova has a great record of wins | over such elevens as Ursinus, Swarth- {more and the Army, and will bring to | Fordham a veteran combination, in- | cluding Fullback McGuckin, wha has | Lroved himself another Brickley in | kicking field goals. Fordham came through the Carlisle |Indian game with minor bruises, bar- | ring the case of Aleck Yule. ‘The Maroons’ star fullback was injured |early in the last period, when Calac ! downed him by a terrific diving tackle. To show appreciation of Yule's game | against the Indians Captain Calac pat- {ted him on the back and assisted him |from the fleld. It Is feared several |of Yule's ribs are broken. Beating Villanova on Thanksgiving Day would rrove almost impossible without Yule in the Fordham lineup. The order of practice in prepara- | tion for Villanova calls for three hard scrimmages, beginning Wwith today. | Coach Vaughn was greatly pleased | |with his eleven, especially Matty | Goldon, the quarterback, who played | brilliantly. The Fordham Prep eleven | has offered its services to act as scrim- mage opposition for the 'varsity, al- 'though its season is over. Coach Vaughn has accepted the offer. i | WOMEN’S MUSICAL SOCIETY. | The Young Ladies’ Musical society | | of St. Joseph's church was formed ! parish hall.
