applicant became 21 years of age, which is the same thing. These blanks properly filled out are filed with the registrars of voters who will at the proper time notify the applicant of time and place when voters will be made" At this time it is necessary for the applicant to appear in person to affirm the state ments on the application and to qua lify on the reading clause. No fur ther formality is required.
 There has also been some specu- lation as to whether or not women who have been school voters should be made again. This question is answered by the following extract from letter received by Mrs. Frank Hitchcock:
 "It has just been ruled by Frank Healey, the Attorney-General of Connecticut, that those women who have been school voters must be made again-the only safe thing is to comply with this ruling as, of course, the Attorney-General is the last word in such matters"
 To insure your name being placed on the list to be made fill out the attached coupon and mail to either J. Clinton Roraback or N. ". Moore, Registrar of Voters. .

In answer to many questions, the republican town committee issues the following statement explaining the eligibility of women under the 18th amendment which has become effective, having been ratified by the state of Tennessee.
 Any woman over 21 years of age, in the United States or whose hus- band or father is a citizen, or has been naturalized, or any daughter who was under 2f years of age the day her father became a citizen, who has resided in the state of Con- necticut one year and in the town of North Canaan six months, and who is able to read two simple lines of the constitution in English, is eligi- ble to be made a voter. .
 The first step is to file an applica- tion with the registrar of voters of either party. A copy of this, filled out for illustration is published in this issue and shows the information necessary. The name and address of the applicant, place of birth and length of residence in Connecticut and North Canaan.
 Much speculation is heard about the age qualification. It is not neces- sary to declare age, but the law does require a statement of the date the

The teams of tho Church Basketball
League are making great preparations for
the opening games, which are TO be held
on Saturday afternoon and evening. Most
of the players of last year will be on deck
again and many new faces will be seen, so
that the league should be a more evenly
balanced circuit than last year.
West, the champion hard luck team of
the first season, will be greatly strengthen
ed and promises to make determined bid
for first honors. Kid France, the versatile
all-around athlete of the High School,
should be a big help IN strengthening the
defense of the team. Other new men are
Anderson, a rangy centre man, and the
Strcbb brothers, one of whom was with
Westminster last year. The Pierson
brothers, Mendenhall and Rutter, are on
the team.
Brandywlne Will have their two aces
NJ Mmker and Lowry, as the mainstays
OF their teams Surrounding these willfbe
found Lou Jones. Mcclure and Joe Vorous
the winner of the Y Thanksgiving Day
cross-country run.
Westminster, the rInner-up last year
will have all of last years team except
Strebb and have added "Benchy" Foulk
to their roster. Coke, Simmons, Lindsay,
armour, JeSsup ana bIake VIII be on the
squad again Thomas, former Friends
School star, has Just been added to their
list and there Is possibility of pair Of
college play ers giving more strength.
They expect to reach the top this year.
Grace has all of lastyears team, ex-
cept Cliff Garvine, who is out of the city
for the Atlas Powder Co. New men are
Pete Ewing, the well-known baseball

lege and formerly Of Brandywine. The

Donaldson and Rothrock. Coach Shipley
made special Recommendation that
letter also be awarded to Wintrup.
Wintrup had been picked ns one Of the
regular backfcld men and started tho
opening game against Penn. In that game
however, he sustained badly injured
knee which kept him out of the game for
the remainder of the season with the ex-
ccption of part Of two periods near the
close of the season. Last year the council
refused letter to two other men under
similar circumstances and consequently
the members did not feel justified in
granting it in this case. 1t was decided,
however, to inquire of other colleges what
they are doing in such cases and IL is pos
sble that the council will later award the
letter not only TO Wintrup. but also to the
two men who we're refused last year.
The letters will be awarded at a dance
to be held Saturday night. The letter men
may elect a 1921 captain this week.
Holton aud Hammer have been mentioned.

"D'S" AWARDED
DELAWARE MEN
Athletic Council Drops From Next
Years Schedule Thanks
giving Game.
Special Correspondence to Every Evening

Special Correspondence to Every Evening
Newark, Dec. AT special meeting
of the Delaware College Athletic Council
last night to discuss the football schedule
for next year, it was definitely decided to
drop the Thanksgiving Day game with
p. NJ. Cat Chester from the 1921 schedule
1t is possible that game will be arranged
with p NJ. G to be played here some
Saturday near the close of the season.
Because of the fact that the college now
closes the day before Thanksgiving until
the following Monday, most of the stu
dents go TO their homes for Thanksgiving
and consequently few attend the Chester
game. The same would be true should
Thanksgiving Day game be played on the
home grounds so it WAS decided to ellnin-
ate that game entirely.
1t was also decided to not have mid
season break in the schedule next year as
was the case this season. Starting late in
September there will he nine games the
same as this year. but allon Saturdays and
ending the Saturday before Thanks
giving. If possible six Of the nine games
will be played at home. The season will
probably open with q game against Penn
in Philadelphia, but this has not been
definitely decided Coach Shipley and
Manager Roemer will get busy at once
and If possible close the schedule this
week Haverford, Swarthmore and Stew
ems are sure to be on the schedule and
other possibilities are Johns Hopkins,
University Of Maryland, st. Johns Of

UNIFORM GOLF RULES.

ella ted Press to Every Eveping.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Chicago, Dec. Invasion of the
east by the Western Golf Associ alton as
part of plan to bring all the golf clubs of
the country under the same set of rules
is proposed in amendments TO the W. G. A.
constitution and bylaws submitted by
mail to the directors today. The changes
involve adoption OF new name, the
American Golf Association, which would
act as the authoritative administrative
body for making and enforcing the rules
for the playing of golf in the United
States"
There have been rumors of a golf war
between the w. G.. A. and the U. s. Golf
Association, the controlling body in the
east, for several years.
One of the chief purposes of the new
golf organization, if approved, would be to
revise those rules which Z is said were
originally intended for Scotch and British
courses and are not practical for American
courses.
Decentralization of the control would be
effected by the proposed constitution, its
advocates claim as the nine directors and
officers would be chosen from not less
than seven different states.

probable that the bout can be staged In
New York and that there docs not seem to
be a logical location elsewhere at present.
Thacher was Tex Richards assistant in
