NORWICH BULLETIN FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8 NEW LONDON'S CROSSING. How great the need of hetter pre- tection to the public, at the railroad crossing in New London, is indicated by the order of the public utllities commission, which recently investigat- ed the situaton and gave a hearing upon improving conditions there. That danger to life and limb which has been maintained has resulted in many deaths at the severakcrossings, but for- tunately at the ferry crossing no catas- trophes have occurred. This does not signify that none will occur and the hazard there is great. The condition was one which the city should have long ago taken steps to overcome. It is an improvement which New London has tog long neglected, preferring to take the chances to the expenditure of what would be necessary to insure safety. is the \ Forwich ulletin nud Canfied. 116 YEARS OLD, Entered at the Postoffice at Norwich, Conn, as second-class matter.

New Haven, Nov. 7.—Absolute se- cret practice has been the rule ev day this week for the university foot- ball squad at Yale field, in preparation for the final and crucial gridiron bat- tles of the season. These are the days when, with old coaches, famous play- ers themselves in the years of the older football, flocking back to the sldelines for a few days at a time, the team is leaving behind, although not entirely, the routine of the “game, and is receiving the finishing drilis in foot- ball generalship that will enable it to outplay the Orange and the Crimson. The Yale team has done nothing of a sensational nature this fall. The eleven has not, as a rule, played bril- liant football. 'But it has tried to play the games safe, and, with the excep- tion of a very few cases, this policy of the coaches and captain has met with success. Slowly and surely, in spite of obstacles, the Yale eleven has devel- stroug offense and a steady de- . The Blue line has been far from perfect, but it has held in the tight pinches. With the exception of Fiynn, brilliant but erratic, the Yale backfield has apparently reached only the commonplace, but yet its gains have heen consistent and its progress towar1 machinelike efficiency sure. At the beginning of the season Coach | Art Howe faced some tough problems. There was no quarterback to take the place that for three vears he had filled with ability that made him perhaps the greatest football general in the ¢ try last vear. In Yale's last n Wheeler ran the eleven with “pep” and speed and judgment that put new heart into Yale men. Howe faced a weak line last fall. Today, Keacham, a glant at center, is supported by men brought up to high football efficiency in the last two months. In the back- field Spalding been a stea rful_ground gainer. Philbin’s has been good. “Le Fiynn h n wonderful. Walter back in the game, is a string man Yale has a weakness in lacking a drop kicker. Harvard has in Brickley a remarkable artist at placing geals from the field. In the matter of punt- ing, Flynn can equal with ease the best efforts of any of the Kickers that he will meet. Camp will be a power- ful substitute. Yale's ends are fast, and sure tackling, in the open field nd in scrimmage, featured Yale's last game, With the forward pass perfected, Flynn, with his straight arm and peed to carry the ball around the with Spaiding backing and plung- throush the line, Yale has the foundations of a scoring machine.

While the faculty dispensed with ‘“cuts” from recitations for those near enough home to cast their ballots, the major- ity had to content themselves with the bulletin boards. The News had ar- ranged to show the returns at its of- fice in Berkeley oval and several thou- sand students and townspeople watch ed the screen up to midnight Tuesday. There was little afte: cele- brating in the universit 8 not enough excitement in the returns. Only a few freshmen, capturing a bass drum, a trap drum and a flute from the equipment of the university orchestra. held a parade about the campus at 1 o'clock in the morning. le man, the new dormitory on n the site of old Alumni hall, will be formally dedicated on ay morning, Nov. 23, at 1130 The exercises will be short, lasting only half an hour, and wili comprise addresses by Presidefit Had- ley, Dean Henry B. Wright, after whom the building is named, and George Ide, chalrman of the executive committee Which raised the money for the building. Invitations are being sent to each of the 1,600 graduates who contributed to the memorial fund. The plans for the Yale coliseum and the general development of the univer- sity's athletic facilities are to be pre- sented at a mass meeting tomorrow night, when several members of the committee of 11 will speak to the un- dergraduates. The problem before the committee is the collection of funds. Before work is started on the big stadium it desired that its cost of completion be covered by the sub- scriptions. And if it is to be finished in time for the~fall of 1913 the work must be started immediately. But not enough money has come in from either alumni or undergraduates. ‘The plan of subs n will give to those who pledge support now the choi of seats in the coliseum for some ye to come. Payment Is to be made quarterly, beginning Jan. 1, 1913, and sraduates and undergradu- ates will get their seats in the order in which they sign the bscriptions.

Baker was captain of the Cambridge team in 1910 and took first place in the interna- tional mile run in that year. At Har- vard he has found the athietic heads in favor of the meet, and it is their plan to hold it this c g spring at the Harvard stadium just after the Yale-Harvard boat race. Yale is now considering the proposition. In 1910 the American athletes were defeated 5 to 4, only first places counting.

At octation in Memo- rial hall the speakers were President Meiklejohn of Amherst, who advocated a liberal cultural college course as op- posed to professional specialization.

Even love is no unfailing antidote, as Gilbert illustrates in the defendants song In “Trial by Jury:"” “But joy unceasing dulls the sense And lov eunchanged will cloy, And she become a bore intense Unto her love-sick boy.” In the last analysis I think we love those whom we cannot bore. How can you help liking one who is Interested In you, one whose face lights up when you come, one whose Marconi system is in tune with yours and soarks at your psych- - magneto - personal - spirit off- &ivings? And what more terrible than to have to do with one whose glassy eye and wavering attention and manifest effort to be pleasant give you to un- derstand more plainly than words that you are twisting your auger in his poor soul? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Woman’s Suffrage Convention. Mr. Editor: The forty-third annual convention of the Connecticut Wom- an's Suffrage association was held at the Hotel Taft, New Haven, Oc 1. Thl‘ large ball room of the Taft was filled with delegates representing most of the coumties of Conmnecticut. One could not but be impressed with the fine physiques and radiant count nances of many of the delegates. They were fighters for ideas, for principles. Spirited reports from officers, chairmen of the five organized counties and pres- idents of leagues made the session of the first day one of great interest and gave evidence of the hard, solld work done by these ardent suffragists. Tho corresponding secretary, Mrs. Edward Porritt, reported that 29 new leagues had been added to he 18 of last year, which included the Wide-Awake Men's league ogranized at the Taft last April. Mrs. Mary J.

The meeting was closed by an interesting summary of what the women of Con- nectiout are doing to gain the fran- chise, by Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard. The convention opened Friday at with a pleasing address by the presi- dent, Mrs. Willlam Hincks, and follow- ed by an eloquent appeal from Miss Plerson for funds to carry on the work for the coming year.
