The SPEAKER: The Chair will
state that no information has come
yet from the Senate as to their de-
sire relative to adjournment. AS
soon as any is received it will be i'm
parted to the House. The Chair
might state at this time that no
member need to hesitate to take up
time in debate. There is ample time
for full and free discussion of
every matter to be passed upon by
this House. Delay is rarely caused
by the debate of matters. Delay
comes from slow workings Of Com

ORDERS Of the Day

The PRESIDENTS: Are there any
matters on the calendar that may be
taken from the table and disposed of
at this time. in the best interest of all
those living near and far?
On motion by Mr.. Maher of kenne-
bee, II. D. 437, House report from the
committee on judiciary. reporting
ought to pass on bill, An Act relat-
ing to the taking of additional land
by railroad corporations, proceedings
before public utilities commission, vas
taken from the table.
The pending question being the
adoption of Senate Amendment \,
Mr.. MAHEE: Mr.. President, l ia
bled this matter yesterday, when the
senator from Androscoggin, Senator
Carter, introduced the amendment in
order to examine the same. That
amendment simply provided FOR a
change of punctuation in the bill, and
realizing that at times a change of
punctuation, by the change of a comma
or a period, might wholly change the
purport of a bill, as viewed from the
position of those who passed upon it
and reported it, l simply wanted an
opportunity to glance at the amend
ment. This change is simply gram
NAUTICAL ard not teXtual, and certainly
not legal, and L therefore yield to the
senator from Androscoggin, Sena tor
Carter.
On motion by Mr.. Carter, Senate
Amendment A was adopted, and on
further motion by the same senator
the bill was tabled for printing as
amended, under the joint rules.

ROBBIE is HUSTLING
TO REVAMP DODGERS

NEW YORK, November P).-
Uncle Wilbert Robinson, big chief of
the Brooklyn Nationals, is leaving no
bush uncombed in his efforts to gather
together a winning combination for
the 1926 base ball campaign. The
Dodgers finished dismally this year
after giving the Giants a great fight
for the 1924 pennant, and Robinson
is busy revamping his forces.
The clubs reserve list of players for
the next year, just made public, re-
veals a substantial number of changes
and additions. The biggest deal so far
since the close of the regular season
has brought Gus Felix, Mickey O'Neil
and Jess Barnes to Brooklyn in eX-
change for Zack Taylor, Jimmy John
ston and Ed Brown. In addition, Rob
bic has an imposing array of new
comers from minor league fields.
Seventeen of the 35 players on the
reserve list are pitchers, a corps from
which Brooklyn hopes to obtain
greater strength in the box than ex-
listed this year. Two of the most
promising candidates are George
Boehler and Douglas McSweeney. both
obtained from the Pacific Coast
League and both having had ajor-
league experience. Boehler, with
Oakland, and McSweeney, with the
champion San francisco Seals, were
among the best on the coast this past
season. Hollingsworth, recalled from
Portland, Greg; Bennett from Blask-
well. Okla; Moss from Memphis and
Streecki from Crisfeld, Md, are other
likely twirling prospects.
Aside from Koglbecker, a catching
recruit from Memphis, all the other
new men are infield candidates, includ-
ing Herman from Seattle, Standaert,
recalled from Springfield, Mass; Par
fridge, recalled from Waterbury,
Conn, and Corgan, purchased from
Wichita, Kans.

40 PLAYS A PERIOD
LIMIT IN GRID GAME

By the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., November a
Watches will be discarded and periods
will be measured by the number or
plays to a period in a foot ball game
to be played here Saturday by Brown
University and Boston University.
Saturdays game will be the first
time the plan, long discussed, VIII
have been used in an official intercol-
Iegiate contest.
Each of the four periods will be
ended when 40 plays by either or both
sides have been effected. Watches will
come into use only in timing intermis-
sions and time out for accidents or
other causes.
Harry r. Coffin, Harvard's "a, and
R. w. P. Brown, former Harvard
coach and Brown strategist, claim for
the play system that it will give bet
ter balance to foot ball games. In
timed periods, they say, the first team
to score can block games by legitimate
plays, leaving the opponent with al
most no chance to score. They say
that in 80 Harvard Yale games the
team scoring first won every game eX-
cept that played in 1916.
Members of the foot ball rules COM
mittee and leading Eastern coaches
are expected to watch Saturdays ex-
perimental game, In which no other
football rules will be changed.

TO TRIM TARHEELS

LEXINGTON, Va, November g.
Faced by three Southern Conference
games in q row, the V. NJ. I. cadets
are concentrating on the important
clash with North Carolina at Rich
mond Saturday.
The Tarheels have won all their
conference battles to date, while the
Flying Squadron has been successful
in only one out of three.
However, V. NJ. Is green line has
developed remarkably in the last three
weeks, and the veteran cadet backs
are at the top of their form.
Jim Smith, 250-pound tackle, was
the only V. NJ. I. casualty in Satur-
days game with Lynchburg College,
as the big boy hurt an ankle that had
been injured previously. Trainer
Quinlan is working on Smith and Ollie
Gfroerer, V. NJ. Is star broken field
runner, in the hope of having them
ready to start against the Tarheels,
but the odds are against either play
er's being able to play.
The cadet corps is enthusiastic oyer
the Richmond trip, and the block of
tickets being handled by the V. M. L.
athletic association is dwindling rapid
ly. The squad and coaches will leave
Lexington Friday morning in order to
reach Richmond in time for a short
workout. The cadet special train will
