You answered my question about

about is the suffrage amendment.
How soon does it have to be rati-

The suffrage amendment must be

Your question brings up some in
teresting considerations. Cooley S
Constitutional Law tells Us that the
federal constitution does not specify
any time for states to act upon
amendments to its provisions, nor
does it say that a rejection by any
state is final. If a legislature votes
in one year not to ratify, this is not
hnal," according to many authori-
ties), "but a new vote may be taken
year after year as long as the meas

Record Breaking Crowds Witness
 Football Games
Yale Authorities Consider ing Plans to Enlarge Bowl
 For Games In Future

Record. breaking crowds witnessed college football games this fall and an attendance of 40, 900 became com mon at some of the larger games. Harvard and Centre, Princeton and and Yale, Ohio State and Illinois, Chicago and Illinois and many other big football games in the East drew that many paid admissions.
 The Army-Navy game attracted more than 10000 and the game be- tween Dartmouth and Washington at Seattle on the same day, attracted 3O,O00 to the new stadium recently completed there.
 Yale authorities lave considered plans to enlarge the bowl which held close to 80,00O people in the Yale Harvard game. Temporary seats helped to raise the number of per- sons present. Every seat in the place was occupied and thousands were dis appointed because there was not place to put them. Fully 10000 more would have gone had there been provision for them.
 This crowd alone is about twice the size of a worlds series crowd and three times as great as the average crowd which assemblies for the big rowing and racing events. It was a record football crowd, but it could have been larger and the Yale au- thcrities know it.

LAKE PLAYERS DECIDE.
 TO VINDICATE MERRILL
Will Play One More Game Sunday Afternoon to Prove tc Followers of Gridron Sport That Everything Was
 Fair and Above Board Between Manager and Players

To vindicate their manager from charges recently published broad cast members of the Lake Torpedo Boat company's football team will play another game Sunday afternoon at Yost Field with the AIl-Hartfords or some other team. This plan was decided upon at a meeting of the players on Tuesday evening when a vote of confidence was also given MT. Merrill, who has looked after the finances of the eleven all season.
 Manager Merrill was very much upset by the publication of an article in the morning paper and he asked the players to vindicate him from all blame in the matter. They then gave him the vote of confidence and agreed to play another game to prove to the followers of football in this city and state that they are all behind their manager.

other and as many outside games as they wished, but the schedule would demand games with teams in the conference on certain dates.
 All the teams would then have good schedules with only conference teams and the champion would be picked on the basis of games won and lost similar to the Western College Conference which cham pionship was won this year by Ohio State.
 Under the plan every game would come under the jurisdiction of the State A. A. U. New Haven Bridge port and Crosby High schools have consented to join such a conference and the matter has been left to Vice President Hunt of the Connecticut Association to bring the plan about. If it goes through in satisfactory manner the new league will be start ed in the football season and the same plan may be worked out for basketball and baseball teams.

Plans UnderzUGy For
 High School Ledgue
Coach Hunt of High School Appointed By Connecticut A. A. U. to Organize Conference Teams for Football Season in 1921-Three Are Now Willing.

Backed by the Connecticut branch of the A. A. U., a High school con
 ference will probably be started at the beginning of the football season in 1921, according to Coach Hunt of the High school, who suggested such plan at the meeting of the State A. A. U. in the Yale gymnasium in New Haven Tuesday night. The plan met with the approval of all those in attendance and it was suggested that High school teams from Brid geport, New Haven, Hartford, New London, New Britain, Stamford. Crosby of Waterbury, Meriden, Choate of Wal ingford and Derby be admitted to the conference.
 Under this arrangement the bitter ness which now exists between some of the schools in the state would be eliminated and the question of cham pionship would not be doubted by any of the teams in the state. Each school would have a game with each

situation, MT Merrill would say noth- ing in relation to the story published but he'd i'd hand out the following:
 ''It seems hardly creditable to the writer as it would also seem to a right thinking public that a news writer for one of our local papers would stoop so low as to attack the writer in the manner j" which he did. The foulest sort Of an attack upon a mans name and character could not be improved upon.

It is too bad that a man cannot leave the city for a. few days needed rest to return and be confronted with such a scanda1ous affair. The writer's absence from the city was known to all that it concern ed and why. For the present, it is all I care to say, other than to state
 my full appreciation from many kind friends A. J. MERRILL
