H. P. l. RUNNERS WIN
Defeat Vermont Hill and Dale MOI
by Score OF 40 10 rs

by Score OF 80 10 rs
The Vermont hill and dale men met
another defeat Saturday afternoon when
they met the runners from the Rensse-
laer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. N. Y.
The score was 30 to 25, but the race
was much closer than the score indi-
Gates. Captain Rowe of Vermont and
HUMPHREYS Of r. p. I. had an individ-
ual race the whole length of the six
mile course for the initial position and
1t was only on the last stretch, between
the Commons hall and the finish line In
front of the gymnasium, that HUMPHREYS
took the lead. Pierce Of Vermont came
in few moments later. taking the third
place for the Green and Gold, but the
next three runners wore the colors of
the New Workers..
The race was fast and interesting. and
from the spectators point of view the
Vermont course is almost ideal, for from
several points Of vantage the whole race
may be seen. Many people from the
city saw their first race last Saturday
and expressed themselves as being ready
to come back for the next one.
The team will go to Boston to run on
Saturday, November 10, in the New Eng
land Intercollegiate. This is the real
test of the New England barriers, and
Coach Movies is doing everything in his
power to send a strong aggregation to
that meet.

NO MARKET, NO WORK
Queen City Cotton Mill to Shut Down
Saturday for Indefinite Period

Employees of the Queen City Cotton
company, the largest textile manufacture
ing plant in this city, have been notified
that this mill will shut down Saturday
for an indefinite period. owing to lack
of orders. For many weeks the textile
business has been on the decline, owing
to the fact that people have stopped buy
ing. Andrew NJ. Young, manager of tbs
Queen City Cotton company. said yester-
day that he could not tell when the COM
pany would open up again, as it is hard
to tell whether the dull season is reach
ing its close, or has just begun. The Gloss
ing of the Queen City Cotton company
mills will leave about $50 people who have
been employed there without work
Many Of the mills, including those Of
the American Wooden company NJ
Winooski, closed down this summer when
period of lax business in this line he.
came prevalent throughout the country.
The mills of the Queen City Cotton com.
pany kept open, however, throughout tho
summer They would have continued to
operate had there been enough work to
keep them going. but mills all over Tho
country are finding it practically ms
possible to keep busy just now.
Manager Young said yesterday that in
Fall River. New Bedford, Lowell and
other large textile cities some factories
have shut down completely and others
are running on one-half or one-thrd time.
He declared that. just as soon as business
warrants. the Queen City Cotton CONS
pany mills will reopen.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT
System Formally Establish ed for Young
Women mt University Of Vermont

The much-talked-of student governmen
for the girls of the Univerity of Vermont
was finally established last week with the
arrival of the printed constitutions. These
were d.rributed to the girls in the
dormtories on Thursday and to the nom
resident girls on Friday. The system
itself was adopted last spring after a
lengthy discussion, and technically has
been in force since the beginning of the
year. However. there is now no chance
for IA girl to plead Ignorance of the
law for they have the law in black and
white.
Under the system as adopted the girls
themselves as represented by their
dormitory presidents, will be the Judges
of minor attractions of the rules. If the
infraction is serious the case will be taken
to n council composed of two seniors. the
president of Student Union. who shall act
as chairman, two juniors and the dean
Of women as an ex-offico member. If the
offence is too serious for the Judgment
of this body the case will be turned over
to the University council 1t Is thought
that this system will make 1t unnecessary
to appeal any cases to the council but
that the girls will work out their own
problems in the way they think best.
1t is an interesting question and one
that is being worked out at many institu-
lions with varying degrees of success.
At first many problems will probably
arise calling for changes In the present
methods, but after the formative period
it is thought that the student government
will be an established fact.
It is we'll realized that the system needs
a guiding hand In the first stages, and
that capacity has been filed by Mrs
Pearl Randall Wasson dean of women
Mrs. WATSON gave the girls the benefit
of her experience in the formation Of the
constitution and has acted as adviser
since its adOptiOn.
