UTOPIA AT LAST FOUND IN
A VIRGINIA SUMNER RESORT
BY Associated Press.

Norfolk, Va, Aug Ethiopia seems
at last to have been found in a Vir-
ginia summer resort. At Virginia
Beach the town council has sounded
the virtue of the community and find
ing nothing it condemned, has voted
unanimously to abolish the police de-
partment on September /.
But Town Sergeant A. F. Dozier,
Virginia Beach's police force, does not
relinquish his badge without protest.
He points to the fact that the present
Utopian conditions are the direct re-
suit of his administration and that it
was through his efforts that Sunday
whiskey selling and many forms Of
gambling disappeared from the Beach.
The town council does not share
his view that eternal vigilance is
necessary to retain these conditions
and has ruthlessly abolished his po-
sition.

ABE ATTElL DEFEATS
 LEO JOHNSON EASILY

Leo Johnson's manager had much regard for the negro featherweight's features, throwing up the sponge for his charge in the fifth round of a scheduled ten round bout with Abe Attel1 last night in the Malvern A. C.. New York. The climax to the one sided affair came after Attell cut Johnson's face with a series of left Jabs and connected with several rights to the stomach. Johnson showed a yellow streak from the start, resort ing to holding tactics from the time the gong unleashed the contestants until the bout was stopped.
 Attell simply walked in and pepper ed Leo's face with stinging jabs with out receiving half a dozen blows in re- turn during the bout. In the second and third rounds Attell had Johnson almost slowed away, the negro sway ing from side to side under a fusilade of jabs. swings and hooks. Had foxy Abe so desired he could have put the haymaker across before the gong sounded for the end Of either of those sessions, but Atten stalled and gave Johnson a chance to remain

MANY GRIDlR0h STARS
 ARE ABOUT TO GRADUATE
Yale Will Lose Great Players and so Will Princeton and
 Harvard

Few athletic careers are as short as that of the football player. For a few brief weeks the light of publicity beats down upon him with a fierce ness which makes the personality of 8 cabinet officer look insignificant by from the public eye, and unless he figures in a murder or divorce trial, future notice of his doings is seldom found in the newspapers.
 Saturday will be taps for a large number of crack football players. appearance as a Yale player in the game against Harvard at Cambridge. Other we'll known men who will play their last game for the Blue at the same time include Jim Scully and Charley Paul, tackles; Elmer McDevitt and Pete" Francis. guards. Bob Fisher. the Harvard captain, will lead time, and Bud Smith, the great liar ward end, will also play his last game of football tomorrow. Other star H men who will close their football ca reers include Bob Potter, the plucky Harvard quarter; F. H. Leslie, guard {; F. D. Huntington, center: and Harry Gardner. On these eleven men will the fate of the two teams depend to a large extent. It's certain that the pace will be a fast one when the two sets of players get together.
 It is no news to say that neither team has much chance of scoring on straight rushing with the ball. Neith- CT college has scored such tally since the new rules were really set a-working. In 1907 Yale sent Coy and Philbin crashing through the line for consistent gains and fairly earned the 12-0 score, but since the defense has become SO perfected and the offense so weakened neither Yale nor Harvard

lWo|gas And Wells
 Meet In December
Arrangements Made For Ten
 Round Bout in New York at 133 Pounds

Arrangements have been completed for a ten round bout between Ad Wol- gast. the champion lightweight of the world, and Matt Wells. champion of England. It will take place at the Madison A. c. in December. Matt Wells who has been notified of the condi- tions. will sail for America tomorrow. The men will weigh in at 133 pounds at o'clock on the day of the bat tie. Just how much each fighter will receive is a secret that the men most interested are guarding zealously. Tom Jones the manager of Wolgast, says that he has been offered Hump sum" for Wolgast, but has declined to state the amount.
 This bout promises to be the great est ring battle of the season. Wells will have hard work to make 13S pounds, as he now weighs at least 14O pounds. But he made 1S3 pounds for Knockout Brown, land as he will have seven hours before going into the ring with Wolgast he will be able to enter the ring strong. Wolgast can easily make the required weight.
 There was some hitch regarding the date for the battle. Wolgast wanted an early meeting, but as Wells is in England and must make the trip over he demanded several weeks after his arrival for training.

Atwood Must Not
 Fly Over Grldiron Aviator Will Get in Bad if He Attempts to Circle Above
 Stadium

The announcement from Boston that Harry N. Atwood, the aviator, intends flying over the stadium at Cambridge during the Harvard-Yale game on Saturday has caused great indigna tion among football followers and those members of the Aero Club of America who have the real interest of aviation at heart.
 The appearance of Oscar Brindley over the gridiron at Princeton on the occasion of the contest between Prince ton and Harvard a few weeks ago was greatly resented and in all probability the aviator would have been disci- plined for his conduct were he not in the employ Of the president of the Aero Club of America.
 William F. Garcelon graduate trea- surer. of the Harvard Athletic Asso- citation, is against the proposed plan of Harry N. Atwood, the aviator, who has declared that he will view the Harvard Yale football game Saturday from an aeroplane. MT. Garcelon said today:
 While we recognize that there is al present no law on the statute books preventing an aviator from flying over the football field on the day of the Harvard Yale game, I think that all Harvard graduates feel very strongly that such a thing should not occur
 With 10000 people in the stadium there must be danger in having a fly ing machine moving about over the spectators, I sincerely hope that MT. Atwood Or any other aviator will not fly over the field of play Or over the stands in which the people are seated It seems to me that public opinion ought to prevent such an occurrence .
 Atwood will not escape punishment if he makes his proposed flight on Saturday.
 Last night the Aero Club of Amer ica passed a resolution making it an offence for licensed aviator to fly over an enclosure while a game Of any kind is in progress. The penalty fol the first offence is a suspension of li- cense for certain time and a repeti- tion will result in permanent suspen- SiOn
 Some months ago the Aero Club con- sidered the question of flying over towns, and while no definite action was taken expressed the hope thai aviators would not needlessly endan- ger their own lives and those of the public by flying over thickly popu- lated districts. The Royal Aero clut of the United Kingdom has suspended the license of an aviator for flight very much like that which Atwood wants to make.

|ShevIin Favors
 Change In Rules
Yale Coach Believes Number of Downs Should be Increased
 to Four

Football men, who make the rules of the game as much study as they do plays and players, are giving their attention to the development of con- ditions this season. The code does not suit them. That is assured. A great deal of it is satisfactory, but in the main the game does not work out log ical1y.
 Records are far more convincing than theory, because records are historical data of fact. That football is not ball. anced as it should be is evident.
 The plan proposed to lengthen the gridiron to 112 yards and make the distance to be gained on down eight yards, is considered both worthy and logical by scorers who have given it consideration. Several have attested their belief by letters.
 "Tom" Shevlin, the old Yale player, has another idea about equalizing the chances of the. game, and his sugges- tiOns are sound and to the point. He makes a suggestion which leads to the same result. and it matters little as to the nature of the plan which is adopted so that a remedy is found
 MT. Shevlin's idea is to make the number of downs four instead of three, That proposition also entails of course, retaining the present measurements of the gridiron, but MT. Shevlin would give the attack four opportunities to gain the same distance as now.
 MT. Shevlin would also have the four backs on the defence ten yards back Of the scrimmage line when the ball is put intos play. That is easily un- derstood As the game is played now the defending backs may be called into the line or may be played for deep defence. If the ball is inside the twenty yard line probably three of the backs will be brought immediately be- hind the line, so that a player trying to advance the. ball by rushing, win be compelled to play against ten men instead of seven as forwards. It is practically a human impossibility for one player to get through a line with out assistance with a defence of ten men to hold him off.
 MT. Shevlins suggestion gives the at tacking side another chance to gain distance. The other plan curtails the distance to be gained. Either by one theory or the other, the rules need to be amended at the next meeting.

Gus SoffeI. Sold 1 To Western League
Hartford Infielder Will Play
 With St. Joseph, Mo. Next Season

Gus Soffel, the former Norwich player, and late of Hartford, will not be a member of the Hartford baseball nine next season. Manager Tom Con uery has informed Owner C1arkin from San Antonio that he has sold the scrappy second baseman to the St. Joseph (Mo.) club of the Western league. The price in the deal is not given out.
 Guns Soffel was a member of the Hartford team two seasons. He was purchased from Louisville, of the American association, by Clarkin early in 1910. soffel went to Louis vile from the Pittsburgh Nationals, by whom he had been drafted the year before. Prior to that he was manager-player of the Norwich Con necticut leaguers, piloted thenf to the championship and was a member of the team when it was sold to Meri- den, remaining in the latter city only a season.
 Soffel did not finish the seasono 1911 with Hartford, as he broke bone in his wrist about the middle of July and had to go home. Tn 1910 he hit well, but his work in that line was a disappointment in 1911. His home is in Red Bank, N. J. During the winter he puts in most of his time fishing
 He has a lot of friends about the state, who will wish him luck.

has made tally by steady line plung- ing.
 The next year saw an even more marked development in defensive play, and neither team could advance the ball. Haughton's generalship and in putting Vic Kennard in at the crucial moment won the game for Harvard, with the four points which were then given for that kind of a score.
 In 1909, even Ted Coy, who was then at the top Of his development as a plunging back, couldn't get within striking distance of the Crimson goal, and those who saw the contest will remember how the Yale offence was checked, and how Coy tried three un- successful goals from the field in the first half before he finally got the tally which put Yale ahead by four points. In the second half the Harvard offence made heroic attempt to carry the ball over the line, but Yale didn't even allow them inside the 25-yard line. Then Coy dropped another easy goal before the play was ended, making the score Yale 8, Harvard c.
 Last year was a further testimonial of the fact that the best offence in the world can be stopped by determined men who fight to finish Harvard, with all her power couldn't pass the Yale goal line, and the game ended, a scoreless tie.

Celebration For
 Princeton Eleven Students Have Bonfire in Honor of Victory Over Yale and Pendleton is Elected
 Captain

Princeton, sN. J.. Nov. 24-Last night the undergraduates and a host of old graduates celebrated the achievements of Captain Hart's grid iron fighters at one of the biggest bonfires that ever was piled around the historic old cannon. Two thousand singing, cheering Princeton men danc- ed along behind brass band of forty pieces in the parade that started the doings of the evening. They wended their way to the big Alexander Hall. and there listened to speeches from Captain Hart and Princeton's wonder. ful trainer, Keene Fitzpatrick. These men were cheered and then cheered again so that it was almost impossible to speak.
 Big Bill Edwards was among the speakers. He presented gold footballs to members of the Varsity and silver footballs to the other members Of the squad Such scenes of rejoicing have not been seen in the home of the Jungle University for years. After the mass meeting the great thrOng rushed to the campus around the old cannon. where was erected a great pile of wood.
 Captain Hart touched the fuse, and the undergraduates were astounded. There in living fire WAS Whites run, Captain Hart's fighting face, lively fight between a bulldog and. a tiger, and the scores of all the games. The band played. Princeton airs, and the students went bowling. dancing, sing ing around the great blazing fire. Such celebration has been brewing in Tigerland for seven years, and it blaz- ed in the splendor that old Nassau knows so well how to pull off.

 It has been the same way in base ball, declares the swarthy captain. New Haven fans go to Savin Rock to jeer at their own team and cheer for the visitors. But the Elm City enthusiasts can't stand prosperity the remedy is simple. Let the poloists go out on the floor and play like a flock of ice wagons and then the jokers will pay their good money for the priv ilege of knocking.
 The attendance in Waterbury has been good and in New Britain it has been fair. Last nights crowd in Hart ford was much on the pazaz. The other clubs in the league, Worcester Taunton, New Bedford and Provi- dence, are not building any additions to their rinks in order to house the crowds.
