BOY SCOUTS TO CAMP
 AT TRADING COVE.
Arrangements Complete for Erection
 of Tents Near the Gardens.

Arrangements have been completed for the Boy Scout camp that is to be set up at Ira ding Cove for those scouts who are working at various times on the two-acre farm located at De- Wolfe's switch which is p-anted with beans. Joseph Bradford has kindly donated the use of his land on the south side of the cove, on which there is ample room for tents accommo oda t. ing as many as 15 boys. One tent has been secured by members of the local council and others will be furnished by troops that will use the spot from time to time. The location is ideal. with good swimming and boating, and the plan supplies a long felt want of the Norwich scouts One rowboat has been secured for part time, but another would be very acceptable.
 In general no group of scouts will be allowed to camp at this pace with out an official of the troop being pres ent, and a small fee will be charged each boy, but the payment of this sum can be deferred until revenue comes in from the harvest of the crop. Blanks must be filled out by the scoutmaster of the troop before any Of his boys can attend the camp. Other details can be ascertained upon app.i- cation to Scout Commissioner Bruce
 Weather permitting. the scout com missioner and some of the boys will go 10 the pace on Friday afternoon and erect the council tent, which is 10x12 in size Troop has planned to work on it's part of the farm on Sat urday afternoon and will spend the night in the new camp. It is also probable that members of Troops l. 4, and will a.so be on the ground at the same time.
 Upon securing permission. other scouts who are not farmers may also have the privilege of using this camp III a Irr- ,s,-1,~ r. met which can be learned from MT Bruce

NO LOCAL LICENSE REQUIRED.
But Jitneys Must Take Out State
 License.

Local people who have complied with | the new law regarding the license fee of those running a public service au- | tomobile state that they have been in formed by the commissioner in Hart ford that after having secured the i state license no other city license is necessary and that they will be aFow- ed to carry passengers anywhere in the state.
 A prominent member of the bar states that as far as he can find out there is no requirement. for a local license for those carrying passengers in automobiles, but the usual license 7 'T hacks and carriages will have to
 taken out as before, according to
 city ordinance.
 For the past few years there have been in the vicinity of 100 jitney driv- CTS within the city who have taken out the city c-erk S125 each, the same a s hack and carriage drivers. it being considered by the authorities and by the drivers of jitneys that their auto mobiles were carriag ges.
 Notwiths tanding the increase in the price of the license now issued by the state over what was formerly paid in Norwich, the local jitney drivers say there is some satisfaction in the law, as it requires about two weeks to se- cure a license and the high tax will have tendency to keep out those drivers who come to Norwich from NHoue 1SlanC ana Otnef states Tor day or two at a time when there is an extra rush of business, sweep up the gold dust and return to their reg ular stations. Up to now they have been able to come to Norwich during fair times and other specially attrac- tive occasions. pay s1.25 the same as the local men. and get out when the rush is over. The situation is differ ent now, and this fact is pleasing to the local drivers. who have been anx- ious for smoe time to have the city fathers change the local ordinances so that out of town drivers would not have the same privileges as local drivers

HELPS HIS men
Penn. Coach Thinks Trap
Shooting Aid to Football.
He Has All His Stars Bursting
Clay Pigeons.

Coach Bob Folwel1, of the Pennsyl-
vania football squad, is an enthusl-
astic trap-shooter
FoIwen believes that trap-shooting,
more than any other sport, quickens
the eye, steadies the nerves and aids
in the cooperative action of the brain,
the hand and the eye.
Howard Berry, star fullback of the
Penn team, vert to FolweH early this
season with the complaint that of all
the sports he had INDUCED in he mad
failed to find one that developed
steadiness of nerve, and rapid and ac-
curate action between eye, mind and
hand.
FoIwen promptly fitted Berry out
with a shooting piece and took MN
to the traps, and, altho the Penn star
nearly had his shoulder kicked off
the first few times he fired at the
flying clays, he stuck to the sport ana
found in it the thing he was looking
for.
Il now have a football squad of
trap-shooters" said Folwen recently,
land I'll venture there isn't a team in
the country whose players have stead
Ter nerves or keener eyes than our
boys"
quite g, boost for trap-5hooting, to
say the least.

OLD RIVALS MEET
Eastern Gridiron Interest Gen.
tiers on Mich.-Penn. Game.
YOst's GrappIers Are Slated for
Victory by Slight Odds.
BY HI. G. HAMILTON

New York, Nov. 17.-Michigan and
Pennsylvania universities will hold
the football center of attraction this
afternoon at Philadelphia in the thir-
teenth struggle of their long rivalry.
Pitted against one of the greatest
teams Fielding H. Yost ever has
turned out will be the scrappiest lit
tie eleven of gridiron grapplers in the
east. Penn is not figured to win,
even among her staunchest support
ers, but she is figured to give Michi-
gan the battle of a season. 1t was
Penn, fans remember, which halted
Pittsburg's powerful scoring machine
and forced it to the limit Likewise,
it was Penn that downed the sturdy
Dartmouth team after it had run
amuck thru its list of opponents.
Consequently, there are many who
believe Penn will be able to hold down
the score. 1t will be Howard Berry's
greatest test-likewise PENIS.
Penn Won Last Year.
The Quakers have won six of the
twelve games played; Michigan four,
two have been ties
Last year was a Pennsylvania year
10 to z.
other football games in the east to-
day amount to little. Colgate meets
syracuse at Syracuse; New York uni
versity plays the undefeated Stevens
organization; Army plays Lebanon
valley and Navy meets Villa Nova.
