POND IS ASSURED
 REAPPOINTMENT
Entire Yale Football Staff Will Serve Again
 Next Year

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 3-(UP) --Yale's entire football coaching staff will be reappointed for an- other year, it was said unoficial.y at the university today.
 At the athletic office 1t was said there would be no further an- nouncements, that the staff had been approved and you can in- terpret 1t any way you wish"
 The varsity staff is headed by Raymond W. (DuckY) Pond, Tor rington. His assistants are E. Earle Neale. Denny E. Myers and Ivan B. Williamson.
 The freshman and jayvee head coaches already have been select ed. Reggie Root was reappointed to train the freshmen and Stewart P. Scott the jayvees.
 The varsity conquest of Prince ton and Harvard and it's great suc- cess in the Suicide schedule" im- mediately side-tracked any opposi- tion to the reappointments. Last year there was a great clamor for an outside coach and absolute abolition of the graduate coach system. Athletic Director Malcolm Farmer held out for Pond and his success was to determine whether the change would be made this year.
 Pond surrounded himself with capable assistants, demanded football consciousness" the year round, took his squad into the woods for a short fall training per- tod and then whittled the squad to 2S players.
 In the entire schedulue the Blue team never was beaten by more than one touchdown. They lost only three games, to Columbia, Army and Georgia. The upset of Princeton boosted the staff's stock in the eyes of the alumni and the Harvard victory apparently clinch. ed the reappointments.

NAUCATUCK BANK
 PLANS DIVIDEND
Application Before Judge Cornell Would Distrib=
 ute $5O,OOO Present

Depositors of the closed Nauga- tuck Bank and Trust Company will receive a nice Christmas present this year, provided an application for the payment of another divi- dend is granted by Judge John A. Cornell at the short calendar ses- sion of the superior court Friday morning. The Naugatuck National Bank, receiver, for the closed bank to-day asks permission to pay. a 10 per cent dividend to depositors, which if granted, will make to- tai of S5 per cent they have re- ceived in dividends since the bank closed in October 1881.
 Payment of ten per cent divi- dend will mean that a total of $50 900 will be paid out to depositors of that bank. This is considered ex- cellent liquidation in view of the few dividends paid depositors in other closed banks throughout the country. Attorney w. w. Gager filed the application for dividend payment in superior court to-day.
 The application states the divi- dend would be paid all savings anc commercial depositors and holders of Christmas Savings club ac counts. Dividends of 75 per cent have ben paid those creditors of the closed bank up to to-day. The receiver states there are enough funds to pay the ten per cent al- lotment.
 The money became available through liquidation of mortgages and Home Loan bonds. Attorney Gager said to-day. He added that the receiver hopes to do something further in the way of dividend pay ments. but that it cannot be guar anteed in view of the unstable con- ditions prevalent throughout the country.
 Judge Cornell in acting on the application Friday is expected to grant the application and to fix date for the payment of the funds.

INGENIOUS RIFLE TRAP DISCHARGED:
 YOUTH WOUNDED
Found It in Middlebury WOods-TOuching Bait
 Fires Weapon

A combination rifle and game trap, found in Middlebury by An. gelo DeLeo, 19, of IFS Lakewood r ca d, discharged accidentally while the youth was experimenting with it near his home yesterday afternoon, and .22 caliber bullet pierced his leg. DeLeo was treated by pr Frank Bowes, who found that the bullet had gone complete ly through the leg and that the lads wound, though painful, was not serious.
 The instrument, a simple but clever mechanism which is believed by police to be illegal, is in the form of a hook for bait, with the hook attached by rod to the trig- ger on the barrel of a shortened .22 caliber rife. When the bait Is touched, the trigger moves au- tomatically. The weapon is so ar- ranged that if an animal should start eating the bait from the hook a bullet will be fired through his head.
 DeLeo told Lieut. Detective Mat thew Balanda and Detective John Leary. who questioned him, that he found the trap-gun in the woods at Middlebury yesterday morning and brought it home with him. He was experimenting with 1t near his home, he said, when he, touched the bait hook, thereby forcing the trigger to pull and sending a bull let through his leg. Had he had his face or head nearer the bait hook. the bullet might have in- fiictad a fatal wound.
 Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the detective bu- reau. now has the dangerous wea pon at police headquarters. and is studying the legality of posses sion for sue han instrument.

 ''The fault with pump priming he continued, lis that there has not been enough money and not the ass surance of continuous money.
 In this connection he explained that the $3,300,000,000 for public works had been ear-marked for other things than construction.
 "You cannot expect a sum like that to do the job we planned for it." he said. Tt is not enough money"
 The public works administrator cleraly indicated that he was for big public works program ofa q self-liquidating nature as far as possible ''if we are to go ahead.

Washington. Dec 3-(UP)--To- morrow we start hearings on the second phase of the senate muni- tions investigations, with indica- tions that our disclosures will have far reaching effect and result in co~ operation by the major powers to curb the vicious traffic in imples ments of war.
 Evidence obtained by the muni- tions committee during three weeks of hearings last September proved beyond question that those who trade in arms have little or no re- gard for world peace.
 We will attempt to show before congress convenes that munitions makers are responsible in large measures for the failure of nations to negotiate successful agreements that would halt the mad race for greater armies and navies that now threatens the security of men, women and children throughout the world.
