routing ordinance finally was adopted
by the council last night. The ordi-
nance as amended and passed pro-
vides for the routing of Ginter Park
cars from the Hull street line through

attorney TO ascertain the cost of ac-
quiring sufficient land on Fifteenth
street to widen that street from Main

referred to the committee on streets.
The council adopted the pending
ordinance giving the Atlantic Coast

give to the city another source of
considerable much needed revenue.

enough for President Wilson's action.
there can be no question that the

FOOTBALL DATES ARE
CANCELLED BY YALE

New Haven, Conn, July 19.-Eale's
football schedule for the coming fall
has been Cancelled. The usual list
of games was arranged last January,
and there has been some delay in
formally writing to Yale's rivals and
asking. in view of the war situation.
whether the games cannot be given
up. Only two of Yale's opponents,
Princeton and Harvard, have taken
similar action.
Yale has-not yet received formal
response from either Harvard or
Princeton relative to its proposal that
freshman games be played this fall.
Yale plans to arrange light schedule
for the 1921 eleven. and would be
glad to close it with a game against
Harvard and one against its Prince
ton class rivals. ......
Professor Robert Corwin. chairman
of the Yale Board OF Athletic Con-
troll, has just returned from Boston,
where he met Dean Briggs, who holds
the similar position at Harvard, and
the athletic situation was discussed
exhaustively. Dean Briggs appeared
informally to be pleased with the
idea of a freshman game with Yale,
but Harvard's official action on the
matter, like that of Yale, will prob
ably depend on the military situation
when college opens in September.
