This Ia going 10 be A lilac year.
Not every Spring IN this latitude do
these bushes bloom.
They are tcmneramental ns opera
Stars, as tickle as women are supposed
to be. Sometimes they bloom. some
times they fail TO produce a flower.
When every bush bears In profusion,
then one knows again that lilac time
is the most beautiful period OF the year.
For clean beauty OF fragrance and
leaf. no shrub In the world can excel
the lilac, either the common purple
variety or any one Of the hybrds Of
more recent years
II is the memory flower par excel
lence.
II is one OF the very first blossoms to
attract the attention Of children, who
In later years look back with fondncss

the lilac played such conspicuous
part

flowers. and l particularly recall the
fragrance Of the liacs."
Already tho flower buds have ap-
peared upon tho tall bushes. The warm
days OF late March brought them out
so rapidly that they appeared almost
as II by magic.
Indeed the growth Of plants is nat
ural magic. Here we have the super

lilaCs budding. ono may we'll believe in
miracles
They have simply swelled out.
Yesterday they we're mere bits of
brown on the branches. but today they
arc indisputably green. with that soft,
light tint known only to the lab0ra.

In buying lilacS one should purchase
the oldest plants available. as It Is said
that they will not bloom until six years
old. From personal experience the
writer here believes this 10 be more or
less true,
Ltlacs may throw a few blooms at A
lesser age, but ordinarily will not pro-
duce very many or very fun blossoms.
Much Of the beauty Of this fine shrub
depends upon these two qualities.
Scraggly iilacS are not pretty. The
bushes 10 be at their best ought to be
covered with blossoms. and each indi-
yidual bloom. to do its name simple
justice. must be filled with fiorets.
Some four or FIVE years ago was
lilac year here. That Spring every
bush in Washington bloomcd. From
little fellows to those OF true tree size
the lilacs did themselves proud
Most Of them were Of the old fash
ioned "vulgaris" typc--the plain. COM
mon, ordinary purple lilac beloved the
world around
The next Spring there were only
few lilacS in bloom in the National
Capital.

New York, Nov. 3 P-Those
few eastern college football teams
which passed unscathed through
October's dangers will find much
tougher going in November.
The casualties in the east during
October were enormous. Only eight
elevcns got through the month
without the blot OF defeat or tie on
their records. A hundred or more
fell by the waysde. at one stage or
another of the campaign.
November's four Saturdays as
well as Thanksgiving Day in all
probability will see even greater
carnage. Starting today there are
pitfalls for the mighty on every
football day OF the month.
Georgetown and New York Uni
versity clash today at the Yankee
Stadium in a game that conceive
ably may settle the eastern champ
ionship. These two powerful grid
iron machines, with Army, Carnegie
Tech and Boston College. at present
are conceded to be the outstanding
teams on the Atlantic seaboard. A
defeat or tie naturally will eliml-
nate them from title consideration.
provided of course, no eastern team
succeeds in getting through the
season with perfect record.

the result that the game ought to

Tomorrow afternoon more than
100 miles from home, the Nutmeg
A. C. football team of This city will
be clashing with the Staplcton team
in Staten Island. The local crew
will be facing the hardest task of
the entire season because the oppos-
ing crew in tomorrow's game is con-
sidered to be one of the best gridiron
combinations in professional circles
in the United States.
Only a few weeks ago, the
"Stapes" plaed the Frankford yell
low Jackets TO a IA to IS score.
Stapleton missed q point after goal
after two touChdowns and it was
only in the last five minutes that
the Yellow Jackets scored their Sec
ond counter of the day and made the
point good. Last Sunday, the Staple
ton eleven swamped Atlantic City
under a 20 to 0 score.
Word coming here from the Staten
Island city is to the effect that
Stapleton expects to have an easy
time with the Nutmegs. The local
players haven't this idea in mind at
all and they confidently expect to
score a victory.
Radzewich. quarterback, who is
having his best season as football
player, has reached the point where
he has become an uncanny field gen.
eral and with good crew OF run
ming mates and pair of ends like
Conley and Burns. with Carl Brink
in reserve, if his backfield is unable
to penetrate the Stapleton line, he
will resort to the forward passing
attack that has proved to be so .ef-
fective in this city. s
Stapleton last season defeated All
New Britain to O in a7close game.
Newton of the University of Flori-
da, who is with the team again this
year, pulled a long run to score
Stapleton's only points.
New Britain's line should be able
to stop the best efforts Of the Staple
ton crew while on the offense it is
expected that the locals will be able
to rip holes in the opposition. Buck
ley and Belonki will be at the half
back positions, with Davis or Nc
Lean in fullback.
The team will leave on an early
train for New York so that no time
will be wasted in getting to the
scene sof the battle. Many New
Britain fans are planning to make
the trip.
