Commencement Concert Good

A large and enthusiastic commence
ment audience attended the joint re-
cital of Miss Roa Eaton with Mr..
Samuel Gardner in Mead Memorial
Chapel Saturday evening, June 49, The
program they offered was varied and
pleasing in its artistry and was de-
light to all with a genuine apprecia-
ton for music.
Miss Eaton who is native Of Bris-
tol, is without a doubt the first Addi-
son County girl who has risen to the
prominence of the Metropolitan Opera
stage. She has spent years in study
and has benefited by a wide expert
ence that includes her operate debut
at the Neopolitan Opera House as
Guilda in Rigoletto and her first APP
pearance at the Metropolitan as VIC
letta in Travata. Miss Eaton has an
exceptionally pleasing soprano voice
that is well cultured and almost per
fer controlled. Her Interpretation
of the vocal gems with which she
favored the audience was intelligent
and appreciative,
Mr. Gardner is a Russian by birth
but an American by preference. He
has distinguished himself by his con-
cert work and by his recent notable
success with the Philadelphia Orches-
ira with whom he has appeared as
soloist, composer and conductor He
is a dignifed and sincere artist and
handles his violin with a dehcaCy and
grace that proves him to be a musician
of more than ordinary ability His
tone is round, sweet and pure and his
mastery of lovely musical cadences is
further enhanced by all absence of
affectation, a fluent technique, and in
dividuality and authority in the inter
probation of his selections.

Complaint is vigorously made by the
owners of local flower beds that there
are boys between the ages of IA and
IS years who are making nocturnal
raids, stealing flowers and breaking
lilac bushes and other shrubbery, At
present day costs it is an expensive
proposition to keep up appearances
around the home, and these who do g.
to the expense and care of ornamental
flower beds ought to have full protec-
ton of both the law and public senti-
ment in their undertaking to beautfy

A gentleman from Troy -unidenti-
fed stepped into The Register Office
yesterday making inquiry about some
old resident and, said he, where is
that old wooden mill that used to stand
down here by the river"
Indeed, one could not satisfactorily
explain to him why this section had
lost some if its early industries; but
we spent no time repining. Notwith-
standing that Middlebury's wooden mill
has long since gone, the village has
not lacked a wholesome growth in
other ways Surely no Middlebury
resident thinks enviously Of Troy, that
hive of the collar industry
1t is all very well to be busy-and
surely somebody must make our col
lars-but if there is anything in which
any town can take superior pride it
is in possessing such "manufactur-
ing plant" as Middlebury College rep
resents, and which this week rounded
out the 10th year of its successful
operation The market for educated
men and women never suffers a slump
and Middlebury college each year is
making an increasingly notable con-
tribution toward supplying the de-
mand
1t is a notable achievement, that of
Professor Wright who has for thirty
five years been one of the most highly
esteemed members of the Mddlebury
faculty, and he has so endeared himself
to the community that Middlebury
townspeople as well as the college
alumni will regretfully read his vale
dictory address which is published
practically in full on pages two and
three of this issue Aside from the
personal "reminiscences, and the schol-
arly tone of his address as a whole,
special profit should be derived from
his discussion of the common aims of
college and community. 1t is certain
that he reaches a trustworthy CON
Clusion when he declares that the goal
of our mutual endeavor is village
beautiful, civic life clean and pro-
gressive and a physical and mental
growth that shall elevate and ennoble
our daily life. The Register believes
that the college, far more than it real
ICES, has the substantial support of the
community and that if cooperation be
the watchword on both sides, the rela-
tionship will work out still further to
our mutual enjoyment and advantage.
Surely the formal retirement of Pro-
fessor Wright from active work has
been well earned, but it is none the less
regretted by his friends in and out of
the college.
There were rumors here on Com
mencement Day that Pres. Thomas
would make a whirlwind campaign to
raise all of the million dollar addition
to the Endowment Fund at the Com
mencement Luncheon. But this was
not so. He will, however soon launch
upon this tremendous effort and friends
of Middlebury will again have an op-
portunity to show tangible proof of
wholehearted, lf-sacrifcing support
to an institution which, more than any
other has spread Middlebury's fame
throughout the world.

EMERGENCY RED ALLEN
 FINDS BOGASH TOUGH
Takes Everything Local Welter Delivers and Towel Saves Him In Fourth Round of Battle-Prince
 Defeats Joe Hall

The best bout of the night was be- tween Joe Hall and Billy Prince, the latter winning by a big margin in ten rounds. Prince had Hall outguessed most of the time and although the latter kept boring in, Prince met this responsiveness with straight left and right swings which Hall was unable to get away from. It was a great bat tie between these two boys and the decision of Referee Lee met with the approval of the fans Both boys were given a big hand as they left the ring.
 Al Ketchel. substituting for Patsy Bogash, was beaten by Young Levin sky iu four rounds. During his stay in the ring Ketchel was on the floor four times and an unfinished count when the gong sounded.
 The opening encounter was between Young Hogan and Jimmy Jackson in which the latter won the decision. Ii was a, slugfest pure and simple and neither boy was able to hurt the other There was some wild swinging al through this mill

FOOTBALL SEASON IS
 FADING INTO HISTORY
Feature of Season Has Been Enormous Crowds at Every Game-Next Saturday Yale Expects to Entertain
 8OOO0 People In Bowl

Two weeks more and the 1920 foot ball season will fade into the vistas of history.
 That it will be entered in the an nals of the gridiron game as the most successful up ito this time is a cer- tainty.
 One element that always adds zest to public interest in football-the questions of sensational champion ships-is still unsettled today. And it will be another week before the leading teams in east, west or south can make any positive claims.
 Another feature of the 1920 season has been its enormous crowds Every big game in all sections of the coun- try has drawn immense thronga. Such games as the Harvard-Center, Princeton-Harvard and Princeton Yale contests in the east; the Illinois Chicago and other big conference games in the middle west and the Georgia Tech-Center game in the south, have sent football attendance figures shooting skyward. The grand total for the season will be greatly boosted next Saturday when Yaie meets Harvard at New Haven. Il is estimated that some S0,000 will sec this game.
 As a result Of Saturdays games ir the east, the Princeton Tigers stand
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-11-16

out in bold relief as the team that has gained greatest power.
 Harvard is close to the Tigers, but Harvard must play Yale and trounce the Bulldogs if Crimson adherents would claim as good as a tie for the big three championship and the east ern title.
 Penn State was, up to Saturday, considered the strongest organization east of the ranges of the Big Ten. But the tie game played with Lehigh has greatly reduced States chances of getting recognition as eastern champion, though they have not been defeated and rank as one of the big gest scoring teams in the country In the Big Ten, Ohio State alone remains undefeated. Prior to Satur- day, the Buckeyes were tied for tn leadership of the conference by H. l linois, but when Wisconsin upset the Gold and Blue eleven the proteges ! of Coach Wilee jumped out ahead. But Ohio State must meet Illinois at Urbana and should the Suckers win 1 the race, the conference title will re- suit in a tie. In the event of Illin-
 ois victory and a defeat of Chicago by Wisconsin the tie would be three cornered with the Badgers figuring as tn ethird party.
 In the south, Georgia Tech appears to be the strongest team. The lNNGOlden Tornado has come back.

DEFOE MATCHED

Former Bridgeport Man Finds It Hard to Get Work

So much has been said of the won derful skill of William De Foe, a St. Paul featherweight, who made his home in this city for a while, and or weights have of defeat at his hands, that his appearance in the ring of the Pioneer Sporting Club next Friday night against Gene Belmont, a rough hard hitting person, will be watched with interest.
 It has been said of De Foe that he is so skilfuI he cannot induce any of the topnotchers to meet him in the ring. It is true that Leonard and Dempsey are in that predicament, but De Foe will have to show much class if he expects the New York public to accept his own estimate of his ability.

Elated over the work of Marty Ryan fn the backfield, Coach Fred Hunt of the Red and Black squad, says some changes would be made in the High school lineup before they tackle the East Greenwich Academy next Sat urday at Newfield park. when the championship of Southern New Eng land will be at stake. The shakeup will probably find Marty Ryan in the backfield and this will mean the shifting of Louie Galbiatti to his for mer position at right end and Cooney, who was filling Galbiatti's place, will be shifted to fill the vacancy left by Ryan at tackle. Maher will be the man to hold down the left halfback position, while Whelan will hold down the other back place and Ryan will be the mainstay at fullback.

Emergency Red Allen of Brooklyn failed in the emergency with Louis Bogash at the Casino last night and a towel thrown into the ring in the fourth allowed those present at the bouts to go home early with the nn- derstanding that Bogash had won a technical knockout. Up to that time Allen took everything Bogash had and two or three times was down on his knees counting the seams in the can vas. To him there must have been fifty but to the ordinary observer there was only one.
 Explaining the condition of his man after the battle, Eddie Meade said that Allen found himself overweight Saturday and took most of it off in a Turkish bath which weakened hin. Meade says Allen has boxed all the boys Bogash has and in each of them made his opponents step lively. This proves that Bogash is getting faster and faster as he meets opponents and by the end of the season will be known as the streak.
