The Coed Not Popular.

UN ko0u NON EoPhAAiF
Those who read the college publica-

editors are unfriendly to coeducation,

exists. Even in some cases in which
the girls have representation on the
editorial board things are written and
published that are not kind

emily. The girls In some OF the mid
die Western universities which are CO
educational realize keenly this feeling
against them.
They take their part In college actlV-
tiles and on occasion help out the ath-
letic associations. They are made to
feel sometimes, as one Michigan girl
expressed 1t, that the men want to
know them only when they are after
their money.
There was a lot OF applause for
some girls in Wisconsin last spring
when they raised money to help to
send the crews to Poughkeepsie for
the regatta, but apparently that has
been forgotten. to judge by some OF
the things that the Wisconsin girls
complain OF.
Few OF the Eastern universities have
coeducation and most of the men in
them are ungallant enough to say
that they are glad of it. It would take
a deep psychologist to explain why
there is that opposition to education
of the two sexes together.
AS one man who went to a mans
college in the East says: 'I'll bet ten
good looking girls could do more for
coeducation than a ream OF arguments
by professors" Yet 1t is a safe bet
that there are many good looking girls
in the Western colleges.
They appear to be resigned out there
but they do not appear to relish coed

MERIDEM POLICE AT ROCK
VIII Meet Local Baseball Nine To-
day-Athletic Events TO Pre-
cede Baseball Game.

AS a result of the attempt made by
the Hartford police nine to smuggle
ringers" within their ranks. II was
learned last night that decisive steps
have been taken by the other teams
in the Police State league regarding
the matter. Meriden, Waterbury and
New Haven have unanimously agreed
to bar the Hartford officials from the
league and not to play them any
more either this season or any other.
The New Britain nine has only played
a few games and thinking that to be
sufficient failed to play any more with
the result that they soon became nom
entities In the league. Therefore as
their opinion was not rendered, II can
be safe to say that all the teams in
the league think Hartford's act an In
excusable one and have resorted TO the
cutting out of the Capital City nine
from their schedule.
The Journal Courier OF August 2S
had, full account of. the trouble,
which caused the regular New Haven
Hartford league game to be called off
and the contest played as an exhibit
ton game. The Hartford officials had
three ringers despite arrangements
made TO the contrary, and will now be
blacklsted by the other teams in the
league.
A contest that is bound to prove of
great interest and excitement will take
place at the Savin Rock grounds this
afternoon when the local and Silver
City police mines clash for the second
time this season. These same contin-
gents met at Meriden for their first
game and the locals won out after a
hotly contested battle by the close
