Vermont football eleven sustained set
back yesterday when Clifton Daley of
Montpelier, its captain, resigned, as he
is to leave college to enter business.

it down. Besides the loss OF its cap
tain, the team will lose first class
end, as Daley was star performer.
Charles Walker of Cabot is likely to
be his successor, as this is his fourth
year in college and on the team as we'll.
Other disappointments yesterday were
the failures Of Gulliver, 220 pound
guard and O'Brien, both from Hebron
seminary in Maine, to make good in
their scholarship standing. in order to
matriculate In addition, Glidden, a
Montpelier seminary candidate, cannot
play, as he is registered in special
course
On the, other hand, there was much
encouragement yesterday on account of
the showing OF Standard and May, both
of Cushing. The former was the aead-
emy's star end last year and in the
game against Andover, last year, did
not allow a play around his end.
The secret practice rule, made by the
management, the coaches and the fac
ulty, is being rigidly adhered to and
no one is allowed inside the gate at
Centennial field.

NEARLY ALL RESPONSIBLE
For Automobile Deaths at State Fair il
Syracuse.

Syracuse, ~ Y, Oct. 4.-Practieally
everyone connected with the automo-
bile races at the state fair is held in
some degree responsible for the death OF
the eleven persons who were killed when
Lee 0ldfeld's racing car went through
the fence, in the decision filed yester-
day by Coroner George R. Kinne
1t was held that Oldfeld was a COM
petent driver but that he was negli-
gent in continuing the race with a tire
which he knew to be defective. The
American Automobile association is held
to be negligent because while it sane
toned the meet, its officers did not prop
erly inspect the track prior TO the race
and make recommendations for inn
provements looking to the safety of
spectators.
The referee, A. r. Pardington. is CEN
sured for not compelling better police
protection all around the track before al
lowing the races to start. The state
fair commission is held negligent in not
providing sufficient and efficient police
protection at the curves.
II was held further that there was
contributory negligence upon the part
of the people in crowding up to the
fences especially at the turns when they
should realize that there was danger.
Coroner Kinus stated that he did not
consider Lee 0ldfeld his manager, or
any of the people connected with the
races guilty Of that careless and reck-
less disregard of the lives Of Others
which the law holds to be that degree
of culpable negligence which would JUS
tify charge of manslaughter.

WILSON SHOWED STRENGTH
In Democratic State Convention in New
Jersey.

Trenton, N. j.. Oct 4.-Gov Woodrow
Wilson was the predominating influence
in Yesterdays Democratic state conyen-
tion, which met to adopt a party plat
form. The convention under the provi-
sions of the general election law was
made up of 76 men, Governor Wilson, the
Democratic hold-over, state senators and
the Democratic candidates for the Senate
and for the Assembly
The platform adopted was eulogistic
of the administration of Governor Wilson
and only the governors earnest appeal
to the convention prevented the adoption
of resolution endorsing him for the
Democratic presidential nomination next
year.
The governor was chairman OF the
committee on resolutions and practically
all of the work of the convention was
handled by that committee, which was in
session for three hours. After the plat
form was adopted, Assemblyman Egan OF
Hudson county offered resolution pledg-
ing the support of the convention to Gay-
ernor Wilson for the presidency. The
governor was on his feet in an instant
and moved that the resolution be laid on
the table. In doing this, he argued that
II was contrary to the spirit of the Geran
election law for a state convention to
endorse anybody's candidacy.
The indication of choice for the pres
idency, the governor said, was vested by
the Geran law in the people through the
election of delegates to the national CON
vention. The convention adopted his mo-
tion to lay the matter on the table.
