And by this we mean that, while Harvard and Yale have been bullding up home coaching schools these past few years, Yale has struck blindly out for miracle makers, and forgotten the experience of the days when Yale football was great. . The old Yale coaching system was not built up around any one man nor was any individual boss of it; it was a school of Yale foot- ball sclence under one field coach, to be sure (and it did not seem (o make any difference who he was) but comprising all of the knowledge and special talents that a Jong procession of tried coaches could contribute, contihuous and complete up to date by regular infusion of new blood.” After referring to Yale teams as fighting ones, the Weekly says: ““Yale teams can play as good foot- ball as ever if they are taught right.

It was said that a cablegram was expected from Monorio Pueyrredon, Argentine for- eign delegation at Geneva, notifying the government of his decision in the matter. Foreign Minister Pueyrredon is un- derstood to have received instructions from his govelnment before leaving for Europe to withdraw from the league If it appeared the assembly would refuse admission to all sov- ereign states, and if Argentina’s pro- posal for the constitution of the council on a basis of equality of rep- resentation of all nations was not adopted.

CO. SET MAXIMUM FARE IN CITY, ALSO SPECIAL RATE FOR | Public Utilities Commission Sees No Reason For Hart- ford or New London Peo- COMMUTERS, DENIED CHRISTMAS PUDDINGS ple Getting Lower Fares' Than Others. Hartford, Dec. 3.—The public util- ities commission has denied the pe- titions of the city of Hartford for an arder prescribing “a just and reason- able maximum rate and charge to be' made by the Connecticut company within the limits of the city of Hart- ford and provide for the issuance of proper commutation or other spectal reduced fares within the limit of said city.” The commiss™n has also denled the petition of the city of New London “for the establishment of just and reasonable rates of fare to be chargad by the company for the transporta- tion of passengers within the said city.” ““The two orders conta‘ning the de- cisions of the commission are signed by Chairman Richard T, Higgins and Commissicner Joseph W. Alsop. There is appended to each order the follow- ing note signed by Commissioner C. C. Elwell, who dissented from his col- leagues on the former occasion wheon they approved the increase in the fare to ten cents. No Reason for Changes. “I can see no reason at this time for granting a lower rate of fare for | the city of Hartford (or for the city of | New London) than has been estab- lished on ather lines of the Connecti- cut company, and therefore concur in the conclusion denying the petition.” The commission states in its refer- ence to the Hartford petition that the crucial problem at this time is to es- tablish a temporary maximum rate to. enable the company to continue to' operate its cars until a more definite and equitable policy is determined, | following possible legislative action. The commission states in regard to the New London petition that, having prescribed a ten cent rate for other citles it finds n¢ dominating reason why a distinction should be made in this case, Anent 10 Cent Fares, In that part of the decision relat- ing directly to the ten cent fare, the cammission says: “That increased rates will of neces- | sity create an additional burden upon . the traveling public is a self-evident | fact, but that burden is unavoidably imposed in order that necessary street rallway service may be continued. The | principle that reduced or wholesale | rates should apply to large purchasing patrons or daily riders Is in accord with that held and advanced by this commissian in the case of New Haven, Manchester et al, vs the Connecticut company docket No, 3243, but the crucial problem presented at this time is the establishment of such a tem- porary maxmum rate as will ennble' the respondcnt to continue the rendi- tion of a public service until a more definite and equitable policy may be determined, following possible legis- lative action by the incoming general | assembly. “We will not re-state in this find- ing the financial conditions of the company, which have been so re- cently and fully sone into in previous findings, but from which it is too ap- | parent that the company requires ad- | | ditional revenue and as a temporary a more permanent policy may be| | adopted, we believe that the ten cent | most productive of live-sustaining revenue. “Wherefore, far the reasons stated (Continued on Eleventh FPage). | means of tiding over the interim until | | | lat fare is reasonable and will be the | | {Other Holiday Delicacies Also Come Under Volstead Act. 3.—The flavor- Christmas plum and . brandied Washington, Dec. ing of home-made pudding, mincemeat cherries and peaches with alcoholic spirits is in violation of the prohi- b tion enforcement law and such foods are llable to seizure, it was, stated today at the bureau of internal rev- enue.

If geog. aphical considerations enter into Mr. ilatding’s cabinet, the friends of Mr. Morehead said that he should be given consideration.

An interesting mixup in the sum- mary process suit brought several weeks ago by Isadur Simons et al, on Mpyrtle street, known today when a mew writ which is made returnable to the city court on December 9, was brought against the same defendants. The summary pro- cess as originally brought, was through Lawyer Willlam C. Hungerford and the complaint was made to Lawyer A. W. Upson as a justice of peace but did not contain the names of the plaintiffs as specified 1n the statute. It also develops that Lawyer A. W. Up- son is not a justice of the peace and in consequence the vuriginal writ was withdrawn and a new one containing the name of Mr. Simons was drawn and the complaint was made to Law- per Arthur W. Upson as a commis- sioner of tha superior court. The defendants in the action have secured the services of Judge George W. Klett to represent them and the writ has been made returnable in the city court on December 9. When the case comes to trial the counsel for the defendants promises there will be some interesting questions raised dur- ing the session. Since the building was erected and a hotel conducted, there have been many changes in the proprietorship. DIVIDENDS ARE PASSED Chino Copper and Nevada Cons.

Trieste, Dec. 3, (By Associated Press).—A state of war between the kingdom of Italy and the ‘“regency of Quarnero” at Fiume began at mid- night, but up to a few minutes be- fore that time there was no visible evidence that actual hostilities im- pended. The blockade of Fiume was continuing and the only indications of trouble were the fierce pronounce- ments of Captain Gabriele d'Annun- zio against Gen. Caviglia and the reg- ular Italian troops which were sur- rounding the city. Communication between Fiume and the Islands of Arde and Veglia was cut by an Italian patrol in the Gulf of Quarnero, and supplies cannot bs taken to them fram the city. Thus the poet-soldiers’ dccupational forces there appear to be isolated. Emissaries of d’Annunzio are going to and fro explaining his point of view but shortly before midnight there were no extraordinary signs that the threat of war would take a more concrete form. Filume seemed tranquil yesterday with the exception of unimportant raids by submarine chasers. There was not the slightest movement of the population, which was maintaining an indifferent attitude toward the:legion- aires who were engrossed in the “work of defense.” A members of d’Annunzio’s staff told the Associated Press yesterday that @’Annunzio wished recognition of his services in octupying Fiume {from parliament and that he would become conciliatory in that event. Ancona, Italy, Dec. 2.—A steamer having a full cargo of foodstuffs sailed from this port for Fiume today. &his is considered as evidence the block- ade of Flume is essentially a mili- tary measure and that the Italian government does not intend the town shall be reduced by starvation.
