90 YEARS SERVICE AT

Connecticut Agricultural Research Department Has Been Tunc-
 tiOning Half Century.

New Haven, Oct. 12 R)-Firty years Of agricultural research passed in review when the Connecticut az mcuItural experiment station ob- served it's golden birthday today on the grounds surrounding the station in Huntington street. This was the first station of it's kind to be estab- lishcd in the United States and tho movement started 50 years ago has spread until every state now has a station, some of large proportions and with many ramilications. EX- pertinent stations are now regarded by experts as the country's greatest research.
 '. Governor John H. Trumbull pre- sided at the meeting this afternoon to which had been extended invita- tions to scientists and students of research work all over the eastern states.
 Director w. I" Sladc. Jr., well comcd all to tho exercises and intro- duccd Governor Trumbull, who pre- sided and also spoke briefly on az ricuturc in the state.
 Tho two addresses were by Dr. F. w. Allen, chief of experimental stations in the office of the sccre- tary of agriculture, William M Jar dine, who had been expected toat- tend, and Dr. R. w.

ADVANCE CAME TIME
h"ie and Pennsylvania .Wii start Next Saturday at 2;3O O'Clock Instead of 5.

New Haven, Oct. 1.-The foot ball game between Nalc and Penn syIvaniA in the bowl neNt Saturday will be started at 2:3O D h. instead Of 5 D. m. as previously announced and which time is printed on the tickets
 Penns ,footbaIl management to- day agreed to the change in time. Last spring, when the date was made, Pennsylvania wanted the starting time to be D. m., so as to alloy Philadelphia and other folks from that section ample time to reach New Haven. Yale men pointed out that the late start might mean period of play in semi darkness. Penn was ready to risk it however.
 At the Brown game Saturday when darkness began to close in iehn's management realized that the same condition might prevail here next Saturday and suggested advancement of time. Yale strengthened out tho matter today and 2:@O will be the hour.
 Tickets for Saturdays game went on public sale at Yale today.

80 MILE WINDS
 HAMPER VESSELS
Ships Have Hard Time Making
 Boston HarbOr

Boston, Oct 12 R-A 4s-hour battle against Mountainous seas, driven by a gale that at times at talned velocity of so miles an hour, sent 40 passengers and mem- bers of the crew of the steamship Fort Hamilton 10 the ships hospital with Injuries. 1t was revealed when the steamer docked here last night. The vessel, carrying the Ancient Honorable Artillery company of Bos- ton back from It's cruise to Cuba, ar- rived hours behind its schedule.
 The steamer ran into the storm SO miles off Cape Hatteras Saturday morning. By Saturday night wind and seas had reached such propor- tions that Captain A. II. Francis gave orders to heave to. The ship was then about 50 miles off Nan tucket Lightship and injuries were multiplying so rapidly that the ships physician had more than he could handle. Twenty members of the ar- tillery company were injured when hurled against partitions or thrown to the decks. A score of the ships crew were treated for scalds and burns in the ships hospital after the lurching of the vessel had splashed boiling water over them in the ships kitchen.
 Other members of the crew were bruised and otherwise injured by falls. Several of the crew pronounced the storm the worst in their exper- fence.
 l. The artillery company's flag was at half mast in respect for the mem. ory Of a member. James A. Cunning of Bangor Me, who died just before the ship sailed from Havana.
 The, coast guard 75-footer CG-12S was just a derelict." last night Somewhere, far to the south of Nan. tucket, the boat was drifting, aban. doned, while her crew of six were on their way aboard the Cameronia on an enforced trip 10 Glasgow Scotland.

FREE OF MURDER,
 IS HELb INSANE
North Carolina Slayer Now Must
 Prove Sanity

Rockingham, x. C., Oct. r. R-- A court decision ats 10 his sanity was the only thing Ulat stood between W. E. Cole, wealthy cotton manu- faCturer. and freedom today after his acquttal by q jury on a charge of murder for the killing of W. w. Ormond, former suitor of his 24- ycar-o daughter, Elizabeth.
 After dcliberation for more than @% hours in q case which has stirred almost unprecedented interest in this section, the jury yesterday found Cole not guilty of murder for shoot ing OrmOnd to death while seated in his automobile near Coles office last August on one of the principal streets of Rockingham.
 Charging in his defense that Or mond had slandcred his daughter, Cole declared he shot in solf-dcrcnsc while "transitorily insane"
 It is this ground of defense which the court held requires under state law that the defendant must show cause why he should not be confined m the state hospital for the insane. Cole is being held in jail pending q sanity hearing tomorrow before Judge T, E, Finley, the trial judge in the Richmond county court.
 The allegations which led to the killing were made by Ormond in let tcrs to Cole. The prosecution con- tended that Cole had not liked Or mond's attentions to his daughter because he had no money and that he favored another suitor.
 Miss Cole testified that shc broke with Ormond of her voltion and not at her fathers command.

Gong Down Field Under p,,nts

| (B1 CHARLES BERltG) | (Lafayette-All-America End, 1924)
 Speed is great asset to an end in getting down the field on . punt. That Is q most essential feature of good end play.
 All football teams have starting signals that make it possible for each player 10 get Into action as the play gets under way, thereby en- abling him to put everything he has into the effort.
 On punts, the end should tear down the field at full speed. In running races tho athletets always try to beat the gun, or perhaps bot ter, try to get away as the gun barks the starting signal.
 In football the end as he hears the starting signal, tries to beat the ball. In other words he tries to gain as much heatway as possible without mourning the wrath of the officials. e
 In going down the field under punts, 1t is best for the end not to pay any attention to the general dl- rection of the ball. It is impossible for q player 10 show his greatest speed if he is watching the progress and direction of the punt.
 All that an end need do as hs tears down the field at fulss speed, is 10 watch the actions of the opposing players who have been sent back to handle the anticipated kick.
 These players who have been sent back to handle the punt will guide the end as to what direction he should run. Since the ball must be handled, these players must move in the path of the punt.
 Always go down on the outside, thereby keeping the play on the in- siue' Never let the man with the ball get on the outside. Often the end as he goes down the lleld under a punt will find two men pack Of the line as a secondary de- iense. He must get by the first man without being slowed up. if he IS to pe Nllcctive in preventing the opposition from running back the punt.
 Determined uso of the hands will often enable him 10 eludc tho first man. If ne succeeds the rest is rather easy.
 The successful end must like to play football and he must play il nara but clean. Hard football need not be the songh variety. By his : work he mlrt win the respect of the opposition for his prowcss.
 A reputation for being q good end is half the battle.

Wei. well. we'll and a couple of more wells. We noticed yesterday that a we'll known would be state- wide authority on football who writes for a Sunday publication. pre- dicted that All-New Britain would flash in the first 10 minutes of the game against the West Sides of Hart ford, and then the West Sides would proceed to pile up big score against the locals.
 It seems that yesterday the reverse happened. The West Sides flashed at first and then New Britain got going and there was nothing to 1t. With all due respect to the gentle man who is so foolish to predict the outcome of football game, we think he is absolutely 'all wet". He has never shown New Britain any, thing extra in the way of praise and even now he has already picked the Waterbury Blues as the state cham pions.

Manager McKechnie elected to try lis left handed pitching, about which there has been much discussion, when he sent in Emil Yde. but the result was disastrous. Barnhart might have saved Ydc from the ter rible had he judged Goslin's slap in the fourth perfectly. But it would have. needed perfection. Tho shot went over Barnhart's head and bounded into the beachers.
 Little Buddy Myer acted as fire man for the "big train," he hcaped on more coal by failing to handle a couple of infield balls early in the game. Slight waves of arms of his infield mates and of the big pitcher himself signilid to Buddy that Wash ington players were customed to pooh-pooh" such disadvantages.
