TRINITY MEN PLAN
 FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Alumni to Ask New England Colleges
 For Opinions on Its FOrma-
tiOn.

Hartford, Dec. 1O.-An effort is be- ing made by the Trinity college alum nj athletic committee to get represent tatives of several of the New England colleges together within the next feW weeks for the purpose of discussing the formation of a football league. At present seven institutions are on the list, and it is possible that three more will be added.
 That a football league among the New England colleges would be an 1n- stitution of mutual advantages to all concerned, is the opinion Of those Ill charge of the movement, although the committee realizes that it will be hard proposition to form the league at the present time, on account or the Brickley case, which stirred up nor nets nest during the last Iootoall season.
 Colonel w. E. A. Bulkeley, president of the Trinity graduate advisory board of athletics, expresses himsef as pe- ing in favor of the idea, but doubt1ui , as to whether such a suggested league could be made practical at present. lie believes that could Amherst, Wesley an, Trinity, Tufts, Williams. BOwdO1n and Brown meet on an equal basis and draw up league with a definite championship in view, the rivalry would be intense between these insti- tutiOns. He believes that particular ly in the case of Trinity and Williams the competition would be more than ordinarily keen, owing to the feeling which has been caused between the two colleges during the past season.
 Colonel Bulkeley said that the idea was not an entirely new one a some what similar league having been in existence in the late sos. The league at that time was composed of Trinity Amherst, Dartm outh, Brown and the Massachusetts and Stevens institutes of Technology. He said that at that time these teams were all of about equal strength and were not in the class with the stronger league of Col umbia, Yale, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Harvard, in which Wesleyan played. Amherst was at that time the big rival of Trinity and the competi- tion was intense.' Wesleyan had a much more formidable eleven, and it was not for some years after that that Trinity could compete successfully with the M:ddletown college
 Professor Joseph D. Flynn, faculty member of tn board is of the opin- ion that With the great difference in eligibility rules of these colleges they would not incline toward any mutual agreement in the present state of affairs. He believed that the friction between Trinity and Williams would do more than anything else toward preventing a possible agreement ana that league could not be formed without uniform eligibility rules. lie was of the belief that neither Will Hams nor Trinity would be nkelv to make any advances toward the set clement of the recent controversy or the immediate resuming or a'hletlc relations.

IRWIN IN NEW HAVEN.
Lewiston Club Takes Look at Front
 Seat in Merger League.

New Haven, Dec. 10.-Arthur Irwin and Joe Burns of Lewiston, Me-, came here to look over the Lighthouse Point grounds Their proposal IS to transfer the Lewiston nine here in the Merger league After their visit IT, win and Burns refused to discuss de- tails of their plans, insisting that they were too indefinite, yet to be an nounced. John B. Judge, one or the owners of the Lighthouse Polnt grounds, who accompanied them on their trip, also refused to talk.
 It is regarded as certain that, unless the franchise formerly held by the late George M. Cameron is restored the baseball nine that represents New Haven the coming sceason will play it's games at Lighthouse Point. Mrs Cameron owns the Savin Rock grounds and has announced the yare for sale. If the old New Haven fran chise which MT. Cameron was de cIared last season to have forfeited il restored the grounds will be taken of Mrs. Cameron's hands and the game of the New Haven team be played at Savin Rock. No prospective own CT of a New Haven franchise has beer found who is willing to erect new grounds inside the New Haven cit. limits
