THUNDER STORM
 BREAKS HEAT WAVE
Lightning Strikes House of Prosper Vegiard, Doing Con- siderable Damage.-Streets Flooded In Hard Downpour of Rain.

The thunder storm that passed over Putnam early thS morning broke the backbone of the heat wave and sent the thermometer down many de- grees
 During the storm there were many alarming flashes of lightning and heavy claps of thunder.
 A bolt of lightning struck the house owned and occupied by Prosper Ve- giard, Woodstock avenue, doing con- siderable damage, but no one felt any ill effects from the lightning, which entered the house.
 The bolt struck the roof near a dormer window ripping off boards, tearing the sash and ripping off shin gles. Inside plastering was ripped off. It is thought that the bolt passed through the bedroom of Mir. Vegiard and went out a window. One pane of glass was shattered.
 Sweltering Weather
 For several days Putnam, like all other cities, has been sweltering in an unprecedent heat wave. The ther- mometers have registered as high as 9s and some claim 100 degrees. No heat prostrations have been report ed but there has been much suffer ing and business has fallen off, as people have not come from the sur rounding towns to trade.
 The relief from the heat will be yreatly appreciated by the senior class Q the Putnam high school. So far their commencement week program has been carried out under most un- comfortable weather conditions. It promises to be comparatively cool for the graduation exercises in the Brad ley Theatre tonight, unless another sudden turn in the weather should take place.

BOOTH, MASTERS

Question Of Superiority Expect
 ed to Be Settled Today

New Haven, Nov . tP-It may be the Green Ghost or then again it may be the Bolt ont of the Blue.
 No matter how they are labeled Al Marsters of Arlington, Mass, and Dartmouth; Albie Booth of New Haven and Yale figure to put on one of the most spectacular sridiron ducls of the season in the wide open spaces of the big Eli bowl today
 If they had q most valuable player" ballot in college football, Al and Albie would be just about tied at the top, it least so far as the east is concerned,
 Each has scored about two-fifths of his teams points. with Marsters collecting 102 of Dartmouth's high total of 256 and Booth contributing 52 10 Yalc's total of 124.
 Except that each has the faculty of inspiring his team, especially so in the case of the Blue terror. Booth and Marsters have little in common, so far as style for run ming, build and tactics are concern ed. Booth is a sophomore and a Welterweight, barely scaling IA pounds. Marsters $ a senior and a heavyweight at 1S2.
 It goes without saying that they a1 hut an artful dodger, scooting through holes like a toy terrier. Marsters is more of power runner" of the type of Red Grange, with decep- tive change of pace.
 Both are triple threats, for they can kick as well as pass.
 Marsters runs his team iron quarterback Booth is listed as z halfbacll but he dominates the tcan from the moment he enters tho game.
 ! Dartmouth, with Marstcrs full ! filling the promise of his sophomore year of 1927, has routed Columbia and Harvard in advance of tn, i Nil''' SS I'i'o 4>'" 1i"Ntll. lllSpll Ci p, Booth, Yale has come back aftor l losing 10 Georgia, whipped Browl and Army in sucesssion. The Eli have a fine line, with a great tackl in Vincent but without Booth the, look like just a football team.
 The championship hopes of botl the Green and the Blue are a stake in this battle. as well as tn AIl-America aspirations of Marster and Booth.
