1927 MARKERS ARE
 LEGAL TOMORROW
Permitted by State Law, Chief
 Hart Points Out

The state law relative to automo- bile markers will be enforced on New Years Day. Chief W. c. Hart said today. in reply to numerous queries by motorists. Every autom obile registered in Connecticut must have 1927 markers on New Years Day, but those registered in states where allowed to operate here with the privileges extended in their home sections. Some states allow fifteen days after the first of the year for the use of the old markers, but in Connecticut no extension is allowed.
 Chief Hart today called the atten- tion of the motoring public to the provision of the Connecticut law which permits the use of 1927 mark CTS on the last day of the present year. It is expected that the major- ity of drivers who register their ve- hicles for the twelve months period will change markers the last day of the year. Those planning to drive on New Years Day should put on 1927 markers Dec. 31," the chief said. They can drive with the new markers then, and should they be out after midnight the first day of the year, they will not be in danger of arrest, but the police department has no alternative but to enforce the law, which specifically requires the new markers to be used the very first day of the year."

WATER C0.
 BUYS MORE LAND
Purchases Property of Diamond
 Match Company

Ansonia, Dec. 30 R1The Ansonia Water company has purchased the property of the Diamond Match Co.,. in Southford. acquiring in addition to land and buildings of the com pany in Southford, waters extending to Quassapaug from the lake in Woodbury. The deal for which ne- gotiations have been in progress for some time, was consummated yes- terday. The Ansonia Water com pany has purchased all the property of the company at Southford except ing the machinery. There Is big storehouse and other structures.
 A portion of the plant was de- stroyed several years ago since which time no matches have been manu- factured there. The company how ever made boxes for matches at Southford for considerable period after the fire.
 The purchase includes 64 acres of land located in Southford, Quaker Farms and Woodbury. Most of the land is in Southford. The water rights are most valuable, extending to Quassapaug lake which it is ex- pected can be drawn upon if neces- sary under the water rights for 2la feet of water. The lake covers 275 acres which means reserve supply of water sufficient to supply half a dozen towns in an emergency.

 Vigorously Criticized

New York, Dec. 30 tP-lntercol- legiate football was attacked today as a breeder of manifold evils by E. Fl. Wilkins, University of Chicago professor.
 Speaking before the annual con- vention of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, he indicted the game on five counts, charging that it produces oyer-excitement among the students, distorts their sense Of values intensifies the drinking evil fosters betting and prompts surrep- titious maintenance of players.
 Professor Wilkins suggested that these conditions could be remedied by limiting players to only one year of competition, or two at the most' by cutting schedules to a four-game basis or providing only for competi- ton between class teams.
