BIC CHANGES. IN
 POLICE DETAILS
 CAUSE SURPRISE
Superintendent Birmingham Announces City Wide
 Shift of Patro1men.
SELECTED SQUAD IN
 BUSINESS DISTRICT
Some Rewarded With Good Posts and Others Go To
 Siberian" Beats.

The long expected change in de- tails of the local police will take eff feet at o'clock Tuesday morning. The list has met with the approval of the board of police commissioners and signed by Superintendent Eugene Bir- ninghaTn today is on the bulletin board of each precinct station.
 The detail is a most surprising one and will meet with the approval of most of the policemen although it will be in the form of a tip to ''brush up'' to some of them. Many-who ex- pected to be detailed to their home precincts have been disappointed and some who wanted to be detailed to the Second precinct or headquarters have been delegated to the Third pre- cinct much to their discomfort. Among the interesting changes are 1.-the following, was the shifting of Policemen John HI. Cody, Charles Fitzgerald. Orsamus Bagley, Robert Egan, Martin Griffin, Walter Casey and D. J. Sullivan to the Third pre- cinct. Policeman. Cody was delegated iceman Charles Beamer about two years ago and they openly declared that they would resign their jobs. They are still members of the police epartme ent.
 In drawing up. the change in detail, Superintendent Birmingham endeavor- ed to place the men as near to their homes as possible excepting in a few cases where the changes were made for the good of the department. Tn many cases patrolmen were left at the station where they were detailed for the last six months. This fact shows that their good work in that location has not gone unrewarded.
 Policemen John Barton Charles Beamer, Robert Mccullough, John Mccarthy, Edward Wheeler, George Benedetti, John Mcbride, Edward Daley, James A. Burns, Patrick Burns, John Kelly, Levi Mendelson, Martin Kane. William Halpin, Rob ert Simmons, Thomas Weller, Joseph P. CoughIin, Otto Kraft. Martin Hol- brook. William Wolfe, T. T. Cough lin,4 Samuel Gregory and Edward Cole, will patrol the center of the city. This indicates that these men are considered among the best in the de- pertinent.

PRO-GERMANS
 FIGHT BANKERS

Certain Hungarian and German depositors have withdrawn their deposits from the F'irst-Bridgepor National Bank, the Connecticut National Bank and the Bridgeport Trust Company because they have been advised that these banks have used the 5depositors' money to par ticipate in the OO,00O,0OO Anglo French war loan. Although these three banks are the heaviest los CTS, other banks are also said to be affected while banks that did not participate in the loan are gaining new depositors from the Hungarians and Germans in Bridgeport.
 The depositors who have already withdrawn their funds are can wasting in the West End among other depositors inducing them to withdraw their deposits also.
 BIG SOCIETIES ACT
 The two largest Hungarian sick benefit societies, having a mem bership of more than 16,OOO, have already withdrawn more than $2O. 900 of their funds. A movement is on foot among the Hungarians of the West End to buy in on the Hungarian war loan bonds, just placed on the market through the Transatlantic Trust Company. of New York, while we1l-to-dos Ger mans in Bridgeport are participat- ing in the last German war loan.
 Persons of Hungarian and Ger man nationality have already bought these foreign securities, the interest on which is more than six per cent. while the war bonds of the Allies bear only about five and one-ha1f per cent interest.

Linesman, William Morice, U. of P. Game called at p. m.
 Yale Bowl, New Haven, Conn, Nov. 13-Sixty thousand spectators gather ed here this afternoon to witness the annual football game between the elevens of Yale and Princeton Univer- sites. Remarkable weather condi- tions greeted the players. Not a cloud married the blue dome which shut in the Yale football arena and a warm, almost summer-like sun blazed down making heavy wraps almost uneces- sary. A stiff breeze from the north west blew steadily, The playing field was dry and fast.
 In all the history of these contests there has not been a time when Princeton appeared in a Yale game witt much confidence. The show ing the Tigers against Harvard last week, coupled with the misf0rtunes which have oyertaken the Yale team throughout the season. was a sufficient inducement to Princeton packers to offer to 1. 3 to 1 and even 4 to 1 on their team. Yale enthusiasts are not slow in taking advantage of what seemed to be alluring odds. This strong Princeton sentiment also drew an unusually large crowd from the di- rection of New York, ard a large majority of this tfzaang We're Tiger togs
 Old time players gathered in hotel corridors and on the street corners discussing the chances of the two teams, and the aI1-absorbing question whether in the brief time given him, Tom Shev1in, of Minneapolis, the miracle man of 1910, could repeat in bringing this years Yale team into winning form for both the Princeton and Harvard games. A large major ity of the crowd and even many of the Princeton followers seemed to think that there was a chance, and it was because of this confidence in Shev1in that many 8. Yale undergradu- ate risked a good1y portion of his aI- 1owance.
 Indian summer sun beamed from a clear sky and a gentle west wind with a suggestion of a bite in it, made any outdoor sport most enjoyable.
 The coaches and trainers~[of the two teams were as usual extremely reticent as to their charges. except to acknowledge and even affirm that each and every player was ready and eager for the game of his life.
 The Yale squad spent the night at the college infirmary some distance out of the city and whiled away the waiting hours of the forenoon in stro11ing about the country, well away
