VIRGINIA COMMITTEE ISSUES

lima that Mr.. Johnson was to play
against Virginia. inquiry was made
November Is of North Carolina CON
corning the truth or raisity of the
report, while at the same time atten-
tion was directed to the conference
law In question. In response. North
Carolina Informed Virginia OF her
prerious ignorance OF amy such law
an ignorance explained by North
Carolina as due to change in the
personnel OF their faculty committee
on athletics. ana possibly due 10 mis-
placement of records incident to such
change.
Virginia insisted that the lack OF
know!edgc of stipulated law may en-
plain MIR. Johnson's presence on the
North Carolina football team this fall
out cannot excuse his continued
presence on the team after North
carolina has come into full possession
of the truth about the law. The late
date on which North Carolina learned
dpVut tHc rune cannot justify the IN
SiStencc upon the eligibility OF Mr.
Johnson In violation OF the agree
ment. Virginia has lived IN accord
ance with the rule ever since it's en-
actment by the athletic conference
OF southern State Universities.
The Importance of the problem as

the question of the eligibility of any
Individual player for that of the cXcn-

NORWICH TOWrj

Having been closed for two Sundays, the First Methodist Episcopal church will resume services Sunday, Sept. f. It is expected that the pastor. Rev. James B. Aldrich, will again take up his duties at the morning service. Owing to the ill., ness of Rev MT. AldricE after locating in Norwich Town, his pulpit has been sup piled by visiting clergymen or by lay speakers each Sunday for the past few months.
 Recent tidings from William House of Town street, who is on the United States SS2, located the steamship and it's crew at Coco Cola, in the canal zone. The SS2 was to leave Aug, 20 for Magdalena Bay, Mexico, a trip covering 5000 miles, which would require about eight days. From Mexico the ship is expected to pro ceed 2,000 miles to Pearl Harbor, Homo lulu. Tn referring to Cocco Cola, the writer mentioned what a beautiful coun- try it was, with pleasant surroundings, and situated only a few hundred feet from such beautiful palm trees. He made reference to the excellent food served, also that the crew was entertained by a band while dining. Thus far the U. S. SS2 is the only submarine to attempt such a lengthy voyage without a tender. For many months it was located at Portsmouth. x. H., the start from there being made during July.
 Edward Harland Miller has returned to New York following a weeks stay in Norwich, the home of his boyhood. While in town, among the many places where MT. Miller called, was at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Charles H. Lamb of Town street. It was particularly interesting to MT. Miller to learn that Mrs. Lamb was a daughter of the late Clarence P Ca pron, who 45 years ago started his stove and tinsmith business in a building own ed by MT. Miller's father. This building, of which a large photograph was shown formerly stood on the lot owned by the Huntington family, situated at the june tion of Washington and Town streets, near Harland's corner. The elder MT. Miller conducted store in this building, which either burned or was torn down many years ago.
 Mrs. Eva. A. Sims of Brooklyn, N. T., arrived in Norwich Tuesday evening to pass the next few weeks with relatives and friends
 Mir. and Mrs. Frank S. Wheeler, with their daughter, Grace Wheeler of Nor wlch Town, accompanied by the formers mother. Mrs. Charles Wheeler, who for nearly two weeks have been motoring through New York state as far as Mag ara Falls, are expected to return home this week.

Kissing Time" nt Davis Theatre.

A delightfully."- entertaining musical com edy entitled Kissing Time will be pre- sented at the Davis theatre Tuesday ev- ening. Sept. sth.
 Founded upon a comedy taken from the French many well known names ars concerned in the present adaptation. there is George v. Hobart. the author of "Experience-' and "Buddies.- who put it into shape for the musical stage Ivan Caryll, the composer of The Pink Lady" and Jack O Lantern" respou- sible for the musical numbers and Phil ander Johnson the editor of the Wash ingtoa Star, who wrote the lyrics. The story is of one Of those arranged French marriages. neither of the contracting parties having seen the other. which permit of so many complications. The girl comes to Paris and as chance has 1t, spends an evening as the supposed wife of her fiancee: this happens be- cause of Roberts employer. a banker, requiring for efficiency sake. that none of his clerks may be promoted unless married.
 The employer hlrrseif falls in love with the little girl from Dion and ths entanglements follow quickly.
 A competent cast includes, Eva Lynn Mabel Frenyear. Mabel Gould. Dan Mar ble. Muarav Stephens. Charles Horn, Jesse WillinEham and Augustus Buell, and is assisted by a chorus that not only can sing and dance and Is also good to look upon. but can wear the lat est Paris fashions as if to the manner born.
 The production Is the same used al the Astor theatre, New York last season.
