mitted there is some doubt in his
 mind as to whether or not over-
 crowding was the cause of his
 knocking over one rotary sign at the corner of Maple and Water streets on September IA. He was driving an Auburn convertible
 coupe and besides him there was
 Leslie Salisbury of Waterbury and two girls in front. Salisbury testt- fled one of the girls was sitting Tn his lap. The Beebe car had flat tire near Union City and up to
 that time two had been riding in the rumble seat, it was testified.
 However, the tire when removed was put in the rumble seat and the four rode in front. In Salis- bury's opinion the size of the seat was large enough for three to sit
 there without affecting the driver. Officer Martin Garrick who fol- lower the Beebe car from Water
 street to the lower part of High street where the arrest was made admitted there was considerable doubt in his mind as to whether
 Beebe was under the infleunce of
 liquor. Judge Tolles found Bee5e not guilty on this count after off, cer Walter Lvselwiez who was on the desk at the police station that night stated he believed Beebe was not under the influence.
 Attorney John Cassidy of Water- bury represented the defendant.
 Bond of $50 will be required in case of appeal.

 It is possible that even Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin, famous progressive speaker, may talk here. He may come to Connecticut this fall and if so the chances are good he will talk here, MT Johnson thinks.
 Others who will talk here during the campaign will be MT Sommers of Meriden. candidate for attorney general on the ticket and MT Ho- gan of Bridgeport, candidate for governor. The progressives here have endorsed the independent citi- zens ticket and plan a lively cam paign.

Cooperation Needed

AOOpCTltlOM 1NCGuCu
 The meeting of the advisory board of the ZEBRA here Monday brought to light the need for bet ter cooperation between the EZRA and the local administration. or the administration is not the point in question. Each planes the other. But the fact remains that the necessary coop1ration is lack ing.
 Warden John Sheridan obviously had not been informed of the cry ing need of the EZRA for trucks, He said he did not know the town was obligated to build the manhole on the Recreation field project.
 One significant thing was the re- mark about politics. Warden Sheri- dan said he wanted to keep poli- tics out of the local EZRA, and Harris Whittemore, EZRA super visor. replied in such a vein that the inference was the warden was injecting politics into it.
 Airport Job Thorn
 The Bethany airport project is the thorn in the side of the ad- ministration. This with the hiring of Chris Groh constitute the ad- nainistration's main criticism of the EZRA. Warden Sheridan believes this airport project won't benefit the town much but will benefit the real owners of the field from whom the. land has been leased by the town. MT Whittemore thinks 1t will help the town, although he could not set definite time when he thinks the benefits will be real
 To political observers 1t seems the antaEonism that has developed from this project is the basic cause for the apparent lack of coopera. ton between the two. Apparently the advisory board is going to take on the character of a board of arbitration and peace. At the Mon. day meeting well timed remarks on the part of members Of the board broke up warm disputes between tho administration head and the EZRA supervisor.

out with a team capable of startling
performances.
Coming back up this way again,
only half a look at the Naval Acad-
emy is necessary to foretell what 1t
may do. The big service school has
back the bulk of a powerful squad,
one that fought well against some of
the country's best teams, and it ought
to prove worthy of its best foes. Tom
Hamilton is expected to add a good
deal to Navy's possibilities, as around
Annapolis it is thought that he is
one of the few very, very good coaches
In the country. And some disinter-
ested opinion comes pretty close to
substantiating that estimate.
All in all, while there may be some
setbacks, and while, because of their
exceedingly difficult schedules, none
Of the teams may be expected to
make clean-ups during the coming
season, it is fairly certain that the
best foot ball generally in years

Virginians Looking Up.

ROP down to Lexington, Wash
ington and Lee and Virginia
Military Institute not only have
the best material that has graced their
campuses in years, but both admit it.
And when q coach admits that, he
usually is in mighty good shape. Wash
ington and Lee went through bril-
liant season in 1888, until the last
game or so, when it suffered from
the strain of its long series with diff
cult opponents, and this year the Gen
Z erals have back practically their whole
squad. Whatever others may think,
Washington and Lee thinks it is going
to clean up.
2 And the same sentiment prevails
across the way at Virginia Military
Institute. The cadets had good ma
terial last season and started on the
upgrade in foot ball. Right now it is
said that Coach Bill Raftery actually
is letting out q smile now and then
and admits that he has at least two
linemen who weigh over 165 pounds
Raftery is a good coach and when he
has good men v. M. !. is going to have
q good team. Any opponent Of the
Lexington eleven that is to be should
think twice before letting grow very
big the idea that an easy spot is in
the offlng.
Virginia Polytechnic Institute pos
sibly is the most feared eleven in Vir-
ginia. Coaches of other schools are
much more optimistic about the
Blacksburg schools chances than are
Monk Younger and Puss Red, who are
in charge of foot ball fortunes there
but sometimes such opinion Is more
accurate than opinion expressed from
closer home.
However, Virginia Tech is, with the
addition to an excellent varsity squad
of last year, some 20 good men from
= the 1893 freshmen, looking forward
to the best season it has had In seven
or eight years.

PACK CONFIDENCE
DESPITE BIG TASK
Coach Coggins, Though, Has
Only Skeleton of 1888
Title Winner.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, Jr.

@ENTRAL gridders may not be
able to win the public high
Y school championship again
~ this year, but If the defend
ing champs fail it will not be through
lack of support of followers who have
stuck with the Blue and White year
in and year out. All the old stand
bys are back on the job and all are
sure that Coach Bert Coggins Is going
to develop another winner, in spite OF
heavy losses Of experienced material.
Take Frank De Angelo, for instance.
This boy for years has been aimost
Coggins' shadow. On the foot oaii
fieid, the basket ball court, wherever
his athletic duties call him, Coggins
usually is accompanied by Angeles
Bert and Central have in Frank o
true friend II there ever was any sucn
thing. There's nothing to do 1t, but
Central, II you'll lissen' to Frank.
Then there Is all-high Manager Les
Wagshall. Little Les has been man
aging or assisting to manage Central
athletic teams 30 long that the popu-
lar little fellow has been dubbed all
high manager. He has graduated but
he's back at his old stand just the
same helping Bert and roofing for oiu
alma mater. And as always he's Q
rampant bull on Central's foot bal
chances. He's confident that when
the series Is over the pennant agar
will be hoisted at the school on
Columbia Heights.
And II that's not enough, give an
ear to Alligator Bait, Just Cater to
you. Cater is the little colored boy
who hauls the water, dishes out equip
ment and otherwise makes himself
useful for Coggins and has been doing
IL for years. He's the envy of al
the other little colored boys in the
neighborhood. They all wanna bt
like Cater" but that worthy. much tt
their disgust, has given not the slight
est hint he is about to step down from
his position.

at face value, better foot ball will
be played in the South Atlantic
States this Fall than the teams
of this section collectively have shown
in many years. Some indications are
very strong that generally the gridiron
sport, as far as strength of teams is
concerned, should reach about the
highest levels attained since the sport
became just as much part of college
Z life as the sidewalks and hazing par
ties.
Locally, for instance, If George
Washington, Georgetown, Catholic
University and Maryland are not
stronger than last season, and stronger
than they usually are, then something
is wrong with the opinions of their
coaches as regards material and pros
poets. Certainly, 1t is true that any
one of these four schools may have
turned out in some past season better
eleven than is to represent 1t for the
next three months, but If there has
been any year in the last two decades
when prospects were so bright for all
four at the same relative time, then
that year has escaped notice OF most
of the gentlemen who earn their live
lihood writing pieces for the papers.
