"A Graduate Manager

( Action looking to the securing
Of a graduate manager for all
branches of athletics at the State
College was taken at a meeting
Of the athletic association, when
an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for such a meas
ure was presented. According
ITO the rules of the constitution
governing the presentation of
amendments, action on the article
can not be taken until the next
regular meeting of the associa-
ton.
For a long time there has been
considerable talk Of placing the
management of all athletic
affairs under one head, selecting
for that head a graduate of the
school who is familiar with the
situation and who can devote his
entire time to this work. If
passed, this amendment will ac-
complish the desired purpose.
In the amendment as SUBMIT
ed it is provided that the gradu-
ate manager shall be.selected by
members of the athletic and
shall hold office during good be-
havior. By and with the consent
of the faculty committee on ath-
letics he shall arrange all sched-
ules of games in all branches of
athletics and see to their proper
advertising. To keep a check on
the affairs the amendment de-
mands a written report of condi-
tions form the manager at each
regular meeting of the associa-
tion. 1t is also provided that the
graduate manager shall be al
lowed to attend all meetings of
the athletic committee and the
board of trustees and discuss all
affairs pertaining to his duties.
but shall have no vote.
The plan of doing away with
the student managers of athletic
teams at the State College has
met with many supporters who
feel that one man, with the in
creased experience which he
would gain with each session
could handle athletic affairs to
better advantage than could an
undergraduate who could devote
but little of his time to this
work.

GRAND TRUNK
 HAS RIVAL LINE

New Haven, Oct. 9.-In New York, cles here it is admitted that the Grand
 Trunk Railway Company has obtained an option on the Providence & Daniel son line, presumably with the view Of connecting the New London Northern and Vermont Central system with it's main dine through Canada.
 The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad, by a new traffic agree
 ment with the Canadian Pacific last winter, procured considerable traffic from the trunk lines, the Grand Trunk itself being a sufferer. Following this agreement the Grand Trunk terminal ed the arrangement by which it made connection via New London with New
 York by means of the boat line owned
 by the New Haven company. Boats
 built by the Grand Trunk were sub st1tuted on the boat line, the Grand Trunk thus procuring a through line to New York city
 This has been regarded as the first step in the Grand Trunk extension in Southern New England, of which the Providence & Denielson plan is a sec- end, and is probably intended to strengthen that road in the section as against future connection of the New Haven with the Canadian Pacific, es- pecially now that the New Haven has definite control of the Boston & Maine. The connection with Providence would require the building of line westward from Danielson. Conn.,, some twenty five miles in length, reaching the New London Northern, which is under Grand Trunk lease

 Control Boston X Maine

New Haven. Oct. 9.-Men here who have knowledge of the facts relating to the future official management of the Boston & Maine Railroad say that the New York, New Haven & Hart foard Railroad Company, now that it has actually acquired control of the Boston & Maine through the Boston holding company, will assume direct understood that the matter of indirect management has been recently under consideration, but it was finally deter mined that, as the New Haven in any event would be held responsible for the operation of the Boston & Maine, it was better that it's relations with the acquired corporation should be immed- fate rather than remote.
 As soon as the New Haven Company takes over the formal management of the line, it is understood, it will begin the work of systematic Improvements of the Boston & Maine system.
