UNIVERSITY TO HAVE
ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Executive Committee of Board
of Trustees Favors Central
izing Authority and Athletic
Committee Favors Appoint
men of A. Clyde Engle

The executive committee of the board
Of trustees Of the University of Vermont
and State Agricultural College, meeting
in this city Thursday afternoon, adopted
with a few minor changes, the recon-
mendations Of the athletic committee
which were recently made to them. Other
routine business was also transacted at
this meeting.
The recommendations, in brief, were
the athletic system of the University be
changed, 30 that instead of an athletic
committee of five members. having COM
pete charge of athletics. director Of
athletics should be appointed for that
purpose and the committee act merely
in the capacity Of advisor. Furthermore
the athletic committee, by a majority
vote. recommended that A. Clyde Engle,
who for the past two years has been
coach of the baseball team, should be
appointed to the post of director Of ath-
letics, which carries with it the power
to make all schedules for the teams, to
have entire charge of the gymnasium. and
in general, to take up the duties that are
usually performed by a graduate mana
ger at institutions which have adopted
that system.
The executive committee adopted the
recommendations of the committee and
Will leave the actual working out of the
new plan in the hands of the existing
athletic committee.
These recommendations are especially
pleasing to the students and the greater
majority of the alumni of the University
for they have felt for a long time that
the existing athletic system was not
satisfactory for the best interests of the
college. The main fault to be found with
1t was 49, -"efirjentlv CEN
lie the work. Tho new system will
place the dds of one man
and hold him responsible for the proper
conduct of athletics at the University.
This is the system now in use in nearly
all of the large colleges OF the country,
although many of them have adopted a
graduate manager system whereby a
paid graduate Of the college devotes all
of his time to the management of the
athletics. This system has been talked
of for Vermont, but the athletic commit
tee believes that the system which they
recommended is the best for the present.

vide practice for the U. v. NJ. eleven
Vermont will not appear against SYRIA
cuse next season as 1t Is thought unwise
to play too many of the big teams so
early In the season. Vermont has played
the big Orange team for the last two
years and while making n fine showing
has decided to dror from Its schedule
now. Brown Is another team or this
years schedule that will not appear on
that of the next season.

MATERIAL REDUCTION
IN WAGE SCHEDULE
Less Pay for Employees of Queen
City Cotton Mill When Plant
Reopens, Date for Which Is
Still Uncertain-May Be Next
Month

Il became known in tho city Monday
that the Queen City Cotton company.
which has been shut down for about six
weeks, or since November 8. would ma
teriallv reduce it's wage schedule when
It's mills reopen, this being In line with
the general wage reduction In textile
mills throughout the country. An Off
cial of the Queen City Cotton company,
Interviewed by Free Press representa-
tive Monday, made no definite state
ment as to what the reduction in wages
would amount to, but there has been an
intimatior that It would be about % 1-2
per cent. the reduction which has pre-
vailed in most textile plants. No state
n,ent was made Monday In the no;ices
posted by the company as TO when the
mills would reopen, but 4 is understood
shat there is string possibility that
work will be resumed on part time early
in January.
The notices which were posted In the
mills ~ the Queen City Cotton company
Monday read az follows:
burlington, W., December 20, I'D
IN response to :he many inquiries we
have received regarding the wage Tues-
ton and es to when operations will be
resumed IN the mill. We beg to make the
following announcement:
When the ,nill starts the wage sched-
uie will he materially redI7ed IL line
with other textile plants throughout the
country. particularly the mills with which
we are obliged 20 compete We regret
the necessity which comy els This action.
I'VE also deeply regret that We are I'M
ahlo At this tirno to state definitely as
to when tine mil will reopen.
Queen CITY Cotton company,
"a VI YOUNG treasurer"
The Queen City Cotton company en-
poys, under normal conditions, about $50
people. These employees wore ali thrown
cut Of work when the mills closed No
vember 6. An official Of tho company
stated Monday that they we're very cor
~ to have had to Close down and throw
so many people out of work, especially
at this tir1o of year. but that there were
no orders to keep tho mills in operate
The company hopes that when work Is
resumed. the entire force of $50 will be
taken on again. although it will probably
be necessary to continue on part time
work for a while.
This announced move on the part OF
the Queen City Cotton company follows
similar action taken in many of the tex
tile mills of New England and New York
state. The mills Of Utica, N. Y, have re-
Gently announced a general cut in wages.
and this condition seems to be PREVAILING
generally. In the South a number of the
textile centers have made reductions
amounting to around 80 per cent. This. of
course. has increased competition

A GOOD DEED REPAID

The minister's salary was very low in
deed and the village doctor who was on
the church board, by hard work finally
had 1t raised. He went home much elated
over the accomplishment and boosted to
his wife and children over 1t. Not once.
but for many days did he do this Then
one day the stork visited the minister's
home and again the doctor went home to
give his family the parsonage news. His
little son listened attentively. Then he
grew excited "You did get paid for help
