 Howard Lying, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the 1889 Legislature, who was also a visitor at the luncheon delivered an explanation of the omission of the item of $10,000 for the Nome landing field, from the ses sion laws.
 His purpose in volunteering the information, he said, was to clear up a situation which the Chamber had not yet be able to fathom.
 Speaker Lyng read copy of a letter from the Secretary of Alaska, E. l.. Bartlett, to Cover nor Troy and to Highway Com missioner Wm. A. Hesse, in which it appeared that the $10,000 item had been left out of the senate combined bill of House appropriation measures, passed at the 1889 session.
 It appeared from MT. Lyng's explanation that the House had passed numerous appropriation bi Is and sent them to the Sen ate. There they were combined into a single bill which in turn was sent back to the House for passage. The House in its final days passed the combination ap propriation bill" and after being duly signed it became a law.
 In the mixup of combining the bills in the Senate, the Nome item of $10,000 had been omitted and the error was not detected by any of the committees or the two houses, although the total appropriation inclu d.e d the amount.
 Speaker Lyng, in the course of his explanation as to how the money was to be made available from fiscal road funds censored the past administration of such funds by Highway Commissioner Hesse, staing that this year the road funds had been apportioned by law equally among the four divisions, instead of being left to the discretion of the Highway Commissioner

BY LESLIE AVERY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent,
New York, oct. 9.-OUP)-The
weekend football picture was
splotched with unexpected results
from coast to coast today, but one
of the best coaches in the business
says the majority of these were not
upsets.
Frank Thomas, who brought
mighty Alabama team here to 'up-
set" Fordham 7-6, believes most of
these early season surprises result
from a general levelling off process
that football is undergoing.
1T isn't surprising to me any more

he said. High schools are turning
out more and better football players.

re-Season Critics
With Good Team
Wesleyan's Win Over Uni
versity of Connecticut
Also Unexpected
BY UNITED PRESS

Much to the surprise of all those
experts who predicted heart
breaking, lamentable season for the
blue, the Yale University coaches
turned up today with a football
team.
Fashioned from almost non-ex-
istent material, the Yale eleven
turned on the critics and swept to
a l0-7 victory over the Columbia
Lions Saturday in the opening game
of the season for both teams.
The Yale eleven played heads-up
football, and STAYED off a last min
ute Columbia offensive to capture
the contest. HOWE Kaye, diminui-
tive substitute, Tailed first for the
Ellis with perfect field goal in the
second period. A touchdown follow
ed few minutes later by Hovey
Seymour, sophomore back from
Greenwich who showed great
promise.
Les Stanczyk, outstanding for the
Lions, scored their only touchdown
in the final period after a drive of
nearly so yards.
After proper jubilation, the Yale
eleven Immediately got to work to-
day to prepare for the Penn invas-
ion this Weekend.
Another Upset
Reports from other Connecticut
sectors:
Wesleyan provided an additional
surprise when it ground a powerful
university of Connecticut eleven in
to the dust, 9-6, at Middletown
Wesleyan scored all its points in the
second period on q field goal by
Carrier, and touchdown by Araon-
son. Mailman carried the ball over
for Connecticut in the final quarter.
Trinity college remained in the I'M
defeated column by gaining a TT
tie with Union college at Schenec-
tady. Kally tailed for Trinity in
the second period, but Union came
right back in the third quarter to
tie when Hammerstrom ploughed
over for the counter.
Worcester Tech barely managed
to edge a stubborn U. S. coast guard
eleven at New London, 60. The sole
score of the contest came in the
third period when Lambert, Tech
back, raced around end for AZ yards
After scoreless two perioos, the
New Britain Teachers college team
turned on Tiny Arnold college and
inflicted severe punishment, scoring
80 points in the final two periods.
That was the final addition. $50.
