GAME ENDED IN ROW
Hooslck Falls Forfeited Game To
Bennington

The Bennington high school foot
ball team went to Hoosick Falls Sat
urday to play the high school team OF
that place. In the middle of the sec
ond period the Hoosick Falls team
refused to continue the game and the
referees declared the game forfeited
to Bennington by the score of / TO 0
in favor of Bennington.
The trouble was due as usual to
the Hoosick Falls Muckers on the
side lines and not to the players
from that town. This gang of muck
ers who infest Hoosick Falls and dis
grace every athletic event in that
town to the disgust of the better peo-
pie of that community, began almost
as soon as the game started and dir
ected a storm of profanity and foul
language at the visiting team, espec-
tally when the Bennington team
seemed to be getting the best Of it,
In the middle Of the second half in
attempting to make gain, one of the
Hoosick Falls players stepped over
the side line to avoid getting stopped
and Referee Joe Pellerin called him
back TO the proper place as matter
OF course. The gang of muckers and
hoodlums on the side line immediate
ly swarmed onto the field and in their
usual fashion undertook TO intimi-
date the referee. showering him with
abuse and threatening him with per-
sonal injury. They didn't scare him
however, in the least, and after Civ
ing the Hoosick Falls team ample
time TO consider the matter, told
them to begin play inside two min
utes or the game would be forfeited.
They didn't come to time and the de-
cision was given to Bennington as
above.
The Hoosick Falls players would
undoubtedly have gone on with the
game had they not been held back
by the bunch of ruffians who are not
willing TO permit fair play at Hoosick
Falls. The Bennington team took no
part in the controversy.
The two teams were very evenly
matched and a close contest seemed
probable with the chances in favor
of tie. The Bennington line was
superior and the Bennington team
had a little the best of II In passing
though both were good In end
plays the Hoosick Falls team was
superior and executed some prettyand
effective end plays.

UNCLE SANS BIG DITCH
Canal viii Be Finished on Time and
Inside Estimate

The great mechanical problems
connected with the construction OF
the Panama Canal which is to be
opened to the government in Janu-
airy, 1915, pass in review in the annu-
al report of the lsthmian Canal com
mission recently made public.
The record of the years achieve
ments in the gigantic task that is
being worked out by the Washington
government, under Congressional APP
preparations that SO far aggregate
$685. ,4S6, includes:
Completion of almost three GUAR
tiers of Culebra cut. Total excava-
ton of material from Culebra during
year, 16,221,672 cubic yards at aver
age cost of 5S.S cents per yard.
Big plans laid for canal terminals,
including storage of fuel, fresh water
and other supplies, repair facilities,
etc. Pacific terminal to have dry
dock, storehouse and coaling station.
Practical completion OF plans OF all
locks.
Elaborate scheme for lighting the
canal.
Safeguarding of the canal against
big landslides.
The locks have been great prob
lem. Designs for the approach walls
at all locks, except one, have been
prepared. Contracts IN force at
the beginning of the fiscal year were
practically completed and new con-
tracts entered into for vast amount
of frames, valves, gates and other
paraphernalia needed to put the ca
nal into operation. More than 954
tons OF castings were made on the
isthmus. Building of the great lock
gates-each leaf of which is fifty
four feet eight inches high-was eX-
pedited. At each lock entrance
strong fender chains attached to
powerful springs will be installed to
prevent ships from battering down
the locks.
A floating caisson gate is being in
stalled for use in closing a lock so
as to enable workmen to repair the
permanent locks and the bottom slut
ces.
Canal illumination will be provided
by range lights for establishing the
direction of vessels on the longer
tangents and by side lights mile
apart marking each side of the chan
mel Buoys and lighted beacons
built of reinforced concrete, will
abound.
The famous Culebra cut is ten
miles long and deep enough to re
ceive the United States Capitol
dome and all From this cut, des
pite the enormous excavation during
the year. on July l last there re
NAMED 23,929,1 4O cubic yards to be
removed. Estimates of excavation
necessary in this cut have been large
ly increased to allow for the grear
earth slides. Last year these slides
that had to be removed from the ca
nal cutting after II had been practlc
ally completed was 4,s79,37S yards
or over thirty per cent Of all the ma
terial removed from the cut.

THE FoRTNIaHTLY
Brilliant Talk by Miss Jordan Of
Smith College Saturday


Miss Mary A. Jordan, professor Of
English at Smith college, gave an in
teresting and entertaining lecture on
Vocational and Liberal Education"
at the Fortnightly Saturday after
noon.
Miss Jordan has the distinction of
being the only woman on board of
hfty representatives from as many
colleges, who make out the list of
English books which those entering
college must read before entrance.
Her long connection with one of the
foremost womens colleges In the
country gives Miss Jordan a broad
field to draw upon and deep insight
into the problems of the day in re-
gard to the vocational training of
women. She spoke of the advance
made by women along educational
lines and the increasing number, who
enter professions from our colleges.
The prevailing idea, however, of the
college woman today is to get as
much as possible out of a college
course at minimum cost.
She brought out many strong
points, among which, she advocated
change in the college curriculum
TO meet the individual needs of the
student. She also touched upon the
question, whether or not college
training units a woman to assume
the sterner duties of life. The early
training of the child along serious
lines, Miss Jordan also favored.
Miss Jordan's remarks were bril-.
liant and given in a charming man
ner, that compelled the attention OF
her hearers and brought out heI
strong personality and broad inteln
gence.
Miss Jordans lecture was followed
by solo by Mrs. Amyel Baker, rem
dered in her usual delightful manner

RODGERS GOT BAD
FALL BUT WILL
RECOVER
Failed to Get From Pasadena
to the Sea
DROPPED NEARLY l25 FEET
Was Picked Up Unconscious In
Field and Hurried to
Physician

Los Angeles, Nov. I'm an at
tempted fight today from Pasadena
to Long Beach, officially to end his
Atlantic-Pacific journey, Aviator G.
p Rodgers met with the worst mis-
hap of his career, falling with his
machine 125 feet into ploughed
field, half way between the two cit
les and within sight of his destina-
ton.
Although no bones were broken,
Rodgers was rendered unconscious.
He was badly shaken, his face
scratched and torn, his hands were
burned by his motor and he COM
plains of severe pains in his side.
His machine was completely wreck
ed.
Rodgers left Tournament park at
Pasadena at 3:34. He became con-
fused after taking the air and after
circling aimlessly for half an hour,
came down at Covina Junction,
mile further from Long Beach than
the point from which he started. He
took the air again and after getting
his bearings, was following the
tracks of the Pacific Electric railway
when the accident occurred This
was in an isolated section and the
first learned Of the accident by those
interested was when an automobilist
who had seen Rodgers fall and had
dragged from under the wings Of his
wrecked biplane, carried him into the
office of a.physician at Compton, two
miles away.
Rodgers was still unconscious
when Mrs. Rodgers and his mtoher,
Mrs. r. S. Sweitzer, who had been
waiting his arrival at Long Beach,
reached Compton. Later, he partly
regained his senses. but was still too
dazed to talk of the accident. He
was put aboard the special train
which his wife and mother had char
tered for the run up from Long
Beach and taken to his hotel at Pas
adena. After an examination his
physicians announced that he would
suffer no permanent injury.
While the cause of the accident
will not be known until Rodgers re-
covers sufficiently to explain 1t, 1t is
believed that a control wire snapped
inverting the rudder of his machine
and heading its nose downward at
an angle of 45 degrees. Rodgers
complained of engine trouble when
he alighted at Covina Junction, but
according to the automobilist who
saw him fall, was flying smoothly at
the time Of the accident.
