The adjourned meeting was called
to order at 10 o'clock by Town Clerk
David Flagg. There were less than
thirty present A motion was made
and carried that the matter of levying
a tax rate be deferred until after the
special meeting, as an appropriation
was called for and might be voted.
The special meeting was then called
nd Thomas P. Ryan, moderator of the
adjourned meeting, was elected mod
orator of the special meeting.
The first matter was to see whether
an old highway leading from rail

should be discontinued.
1t was stated that the road had not
been used in years and had been given
no care. The abutting property own
ers are E c. Rogers and the New
Haven railroad, which recently bought
land of Francis E. Harrington. There
are no houses on the road. A motion
was made that the road be diseontin-
aed, and it was so voted.
To Build New Bridge
The next matter was to see if the
town would build concrete bridge
over tailrace flowing into the Quin-
ebaug river and crossing South Mea-
dow street.
George w Perry, civil engineer, re-
ported that he had examined the
bridge and found it in poor condition.
He said that loads of seven tons had
passed over the bridge and he did not
consider it safe for over four tons to
pass over it. He said that the trusses
are rotten. He further stated that
there is a petition before the council
to have the street curbed and guttered
and that there ought to be sidewalks
Mr.. Perry estimated the cost of q
bridge Az feet wide, at 50, 500. II
was voted that the bridge be built and
$4,000 was appropriated for that pur.
pose.
Twenty Mill Tax Laid
The matter of laying tax was
then taken up. No one seemed K
have any figures to show what the sit
uatoin was. 1t was stated that with
the appropriation made for the bridge
part of the Grove street improvement
to pay, and bill for the removal o.
snow of approximately $1,000, witt
the increased appropriations made a

HAS GLIDE" PLAY
REPLACING A'SH|FT''
Johnny Heisman, Penn's New
Football Coach, Promises
Gridiron Novelty.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 1o.-The
Heisman shift has been placed on the
shelf, but the Heisman glide" Is with
us. This is a big Improvement on the
old shift because the men will not be
ofrSIde so often. Last year. when the
SHIFT was used. the players would
jump from side to side asd did not
come to a complete stop before the
ball was put into play. Twelve on
side penalties were given In the game
against Pittsburgh last year. and that
took the heart out OF the men.
This is something new" said
Heisman, explaining his new glide.
Ten years ago. when / discovered
the shift. l believed the jump was
more effective and used II. Now ! am
convinced that the glide Is much bet
ter and will gain more ground. II is
almost impossible to get offside. and
that has been the principal handicap.
Now. Just to prove what ! have said.
just watch my men In signal
practice"
The coach called his first team to-
gether and told the quarterback to
call nothing but shift plays. They
worked smoothly. and even now are
a big Improvement over last year.
The mems feet do not leave the
ground. and they take a sort OF dance
step. This Is done with great speed,
however. and has every appearance
Of the old-style jump.
There are four different positions
in the Heisman glide. The team lines
up In the old Heisman style. the
- nwn
yard behind the ball. The backfield
Is in a line behind the center. and the
team forms the letter ct"
All OF the players stand with their
hands on their knees until the signal
is given. Then when. the quarterback
yells hike" they shift or rather
glide.
The first position is with both feet
on the ground. II they glide to the
left the right leg Is crossed in front
OF the left. That's the second posi-
ton. Pivoting on the right foot, the
left Is brought around into the third
position. AS soon as the left foot
comes to a stop. the left hand IL
placed on the ground and this Is the
fourth. From that position the play
Is started and although the men go
through the motions with great
speed. they come to a complete stop
before the ball has been passed.
watched the glide closely for al
most one half hour and in that time
the only man to beat the ball was the
quarterback This was because he
was giving the signals. knew what
was coming and anticipated the play.
Heisman will correct this fanlt in, a
very short time.
Thus IL can be seen that Penn will
pull some new stun this season. IT
is doubtful ~ the glide will be used
on every play. but It will be the
nucleus around which the attack will
be built. AS for the defense, the old
Pennsylvania system will continue
This is the best and has proved Its
worth year after year.
In fact, the defense has been so
successful that other big colleges
have copied it.

Grifhth's Washington club is meeting

Eddie Collins found the wee Cuban
a tough customer, and his batting streak

twenty-five consecutive games the Sox
captain had hit safely. but against the
cuban's change OF pace he failed.

ATHLETES ARE AGAINST -,
SAILING ON ANTICONE

CALAIS, Sept. 15.-Members OF the
American Olympic team scheduled 10
return to the United States on the
Antigone have openly revolted against
the conditions which they say exist, on
the boat and assert that they will
submit no longer to the series OF
humiliating and trying experiences
which have been their lot since they
first sailed for Antwerp.
The disgruntled athletes claim that
the conditions on the Antigone are
worse than any they have encountered
thus far. The men OF the team have
been assigned to quarters in the hold
of the ship and the women have. been
given cabins which they declare to
be stuffy to the point OF suffocation.
The Olympic men charge that the
promises made to them by the Olym-
pic committee at Antwerp have not
been kept. Many of the college men,
who are planning to return to uni
versities this year. say that they will
lose half year in their studies II
they sare forced to take the three
weeks trip which lies in store for
them on the -Antigone.
Many members of the team refuse
to go any further on the itinerary
scheduled for them by the Olympic
authorities. They say they will appeal
to the American Relief Commission
to get them home.
