New York. Dec. 2o.--Warning thai
"outside inuemces' were threatening
"outside Influences" were threatening
ball, which the mere framing Of rules
could not avert, was contained in tht
annual report Of the American Inter
collegiate football rules committee foi
1922, flied with the National Collegiate
Athletic association yesterday. The
report was read BY u. Il. Hall Of Dart
mouth, who retains the Craftsmanship
OF the committee for another year.
Interest in the contests Is 80 wide
spread and so acute that both the
players and the athletic authorities In
the various colleges are under tire.
mendous pressure to- win,A the report
said. Under these circumstances the
temptations are very great both on
the field and off, to adopt practices or
policies which are directly hostile to
the best ideals Of the game and anna
teur sport and which, il INDUCED in
generally, would speedily bring the
game into disrepute."
As an illustration. the report de-
clared .there have been several dis
tressing and one or two disfraceful
instances during the last season OF
failure to accept in anything like
sportsmanlike spirit rulings Of com
petent officials and Of failure to see to
it that officials were accorded proper
treatment during and after the game.
Institutions which are guilty Of such
failures should be Eelegated promptly
and exclusively to intermural con
tests until such time as they can give
some assurance that they are entitled
to once more participate in intercol-
legiate games.
PROSECUTING, absence of the one
year rule, the tramp coach, who thinks
only of the successful season and con-
siders that he has no responsibility
for the protection OF the game or the
good name Of the institution whose
team he is coaching, the scheduling OF
games with teams from institutions
making no pretense of maintaining de-
cent amateur sport standards are not
questions for the rules committee but
they are questions which must be
considered and rightly answered ii we
are to maintain the good name Of foot.

"The responsibility for proper
standard and policies in the prepare
ton for and conduct Of intercollegiate
sports and for proper standards of
play is in the last analysis squarely
up to those who are responsible for
the academic administration of the /
schools and colleges.
Il should like TO repeat and empha- |
size the statement made in our report /
year ago that it will require the /
concerted efforts of all friends of foot
ball to counterfeit some of the under
mining tendencies which are almost
certain to develop from the conditions
under which the game is played to-
day. The game itself is alright. Ii is
in the outside influence that the dan
ger lies. The rules committee stands
ready to do its part and the colleges,

do this but it is only the close CO.

FRANCE HARVESTING
HER W.4TERPOWER
Some Optomists Believe Country Win
Be Beyond Need Of Coal Before
Germany Is Brought to Time.

Paris, Dec. 2e.--The work of har-
Messing the waterpower Of France il
making progress SO much faster than
the work Of settling Preparations ques-
tions, including coal deliveries by Ger
many, that some optimists believe the
country viii be beyond all need Of coal
frofI outside before the statesmen mn
ish their parleys.
France is supposed TO have nine mill
lion horse natural water power, Five
hundred thousand horse power had
been put to use before the war; an
equal amount was installed during
hostilities; three hundred thousand
have been added since the arinistice,
and two hundred thousand more soon
will be in use. making total Of a
million and a half, equal to half the
total stationary steam power used in
France IN 1913.
The plans Of the public works de-
partment, as explained to the Associ.
ated Press, provide for the utilization
Of approximately -four million horse
power within five years. The realiza.
tion Of this project will not only make
France independent Of foreign markets
for coal, but viii 20 d long way to-
ward making good the big deficits in
the operation Of French railroads,
which will largely substitute eleetrici.
ty for coal when the current il avail
able. The French railroads paid 1884,.
DOC, 900 francs for coal in 1918, they
paid 2,l46 100000 francs for about the
same quantity Of coal In 1926 the diff
ference Of approximately 2,o0Ol00o,o0o
francs was just about equal to the de-
felt for 1920.
The biggest individual job Of this
kind, the damming Of the river Rhone
at Genissiat, near the Swiss frontier,
to furnish an average Of 10000 horse
power at all seasons, il temporarily
held up pending agreement between
the state, the department Of Saxoie,
and the communes interested. Other
work Is continuing regularly, however,
all along the French Alps, and this in
spite Of the high costs, reekoned by |
experts Of the public works ministry |

STARTED MASSAPEAG FIRE

Property on and adjoining the farm
of George Roy in Massapeag was threat
ened with destruction by bad brush fire
Sunday morning, but timely aid on the
part Of the Norwich fire department nre
vented the flames from spreading to the
nearby farmhouse buildings.
Mr. Roy was ehopping woul on his
property when the axe handle hit and
knocked from his mouth a pipe he was
smoking He picked the pipe up and
went on chopping. A few minutes later
he saw fire all around him He and
Mrs. Roy tried to extinguish the fire but
the flames spread too rapidly amongst
the dry brush. Neighbors who were no
tilted by telephone responded to the call
and when the fire assumed serious pro-
portiops telephone call for aid was
sent to the local fire department at 10
o'clock.
Chief H L. Stanton got i'll touch with
Mayor II. NJ Lerou with the result
that the mayor gave permission for ting
department to leave the city. suua 4
and the deputy chief responded. Blooms.
chemical and five gallons hand pump
water were put to good use by tho ara
men.
The flames spread from the Roy farm
to the A~oper3y of Tliomas Sherwin,
and John Fielding and was stopped just
before it reached the farm of Abraham
Levine, formerly known as the Sussraa
farm, with it's numerous large wooden
buildings.
The property owners and residents
in the neighborhood of the FIRE were
very grateful for the aid given by the

INDIANA SPEAKER FOR
I NORWICH CHAMBER COMMERCE.

A capacity audience is expected for
the next membership meeting of the
Norwich Chamber of Commerce which IL
to be held next Monday evening at SIS
at the Wauregan house with dinner
and music and for which the committee
has secured Hon. Martin A. Morrison Of
Indiana as the speaker. His subject
will be European Competition With
American Business, which the commit
tee believes will be a most timely and
interesting topic to have discussed at
this months meeting.
Mr. Morrison is a native Of Frankfort
Indiana, and holds the degree Of A. B.
from Butler College, Irvington, Indiana
and L. L. f. from the University of Vir-
ginfa. He was admitted to the bar in
1885, and was a member Of the 61st and
'64th congresses, being a colleague OF
Honorable Edwin W. Higgins of Nor
wien in the latter congress. Mr.. Nor
rison is a democrat, a 33d degree Ma
| son, a member of the ETks and of the
Woodnen of America. In 1919 he wa
appointed a member of the UnheC
States civil service commission by Pres
| ident Wilson. Because of the presen
condition of American business, Mr.
Morrison's address will no doubt revea
some startling and interesting facts o
| the circumstances affecting the conduc
of American business in competition
with foreign goods in the American mar
ket. The committee anticipates that al
interesting program will be assured tn
members of the chamber of commerc
| and their friends.
