 Shutting down of local factories is receiving criticism in some quar- ters where 1t is pointed out that the sudden action will throw large crowds into the street, which will be a large impetus of itself to wild celebrations.
 questioned individually, most Waterburians have little desire to celebrate the defeat of Germany alone, The war is only half won, tn yepoint out, and the larger por- ton of Waterbury boys In service will not yet be coming home.
 And In Q town which depends on It's manufacturing to furnish jobs, the question arises as to when and where and how and If the layoffs and cancellations of contracts can be expected.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 21.-
The University of Florida will re-
turn to the collegiate football wars
this fall with a team of boys under
draft age, 4-Fs and men who have
been discharged from the services.
Announcement of the return to
competition after a years lapse was
made by DR.. John j. Tigert, presi-
dent of the university, who said the
State Board of Control authorized
the decision, as all concerned felt
that if we don't get back into foot
ball now, we'll be down for years
to come"
The 1914 schedule probably will
include a game with Georgia here
and one with the University of
Miami at Miami, Tigert said, adding
the school also hoped to arrange
games with Tennessee, Auburn and
service teams.
Florida suspended intercollegiate
athletics early last year, first mem
Der of the Southeastern Conference
to do so.
While the State Board of Control
authorized only the resumption of
intercollegiate football, Tigert said
he believed the school also would
play intercollegiate schedules in
other sports.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-If Gil
Dodds, Boston's plank pounding
parson, fails to wipe out the world
indoor mile mark of 4:07.4 this win
ter it will be because he is toe
good.
There hasn't been a race this
winter in which the theology stu
dent hasn't killed off all rivals in
the first half mile and has been
forced to travel the remainder of
the way suffering from lonesome
ness.
1t was the same way Saturday
night at the diamond jubilee meet
of New York A. c., where Dodds
won the Baxter mile in 4:O8.
He spun through the first 44O
yards in 586 seconds and got to the
half mile post in 1:59.7-easily the
fastest first half of a major mile
race on record and speedy enough
to win the 800-yard event in many
college meets.
Lags in Last Quarter.
He carried the same tempo
through the next 440 yards, being
only quarter of a mile from home
in 3:033, another record for big
time milers. Then his love of COM
panionship got the better of him
and he spent 647 seconds looking
for the tape, Rudy Sirnms and Jim
Rafferty,. Dodds simply was toe
good for his own good.
Simms and Rafferty, took over the
task of chasing the Bible-quoting
Parson when Bill Hulse, America s

Indoor Mile Record for Dodds
Likely if Given Competition

4:06 miller, was ordered to remain
in bed by his physician because OF
a strep throat.
Neither Simms nor Rafferty, was
closer than 80 yards at the finish
when a threat might have sent the
Bostonian into the tape with a
world record.
The only assistance Dodds re-
ceived in his duel with time through
the final quarter were the screams
of $4,000 spectators in Madison
Square Garden, who sensed the pos
sibility of a record.
Fulton Ties But Loses.
There's a possibility that johnnie
Fulton, gaunt San Francisco mid
dle-distance runner, who suffered
his first Eastern defeat in the Hal
pin $50, may oppose Dodds in an
exhibition mile at the coming
IC4A indoor meet. Fulton, who ap-
preached a world record in the
l,000-yard event at Boston a week
ago, was a miller in high school and
was even with Gunder Haegg for a
half last summer.
Joe Nowicki of Rochester won the
$50 Saturday night with exactly
nothing to spare. His time of l :53
also was credited to Fulton, whose
stride was broken when Nowicki cut
in sharply a lap and "a half from
the finish.
The incident cost Fulton 3 yards
He was shoulder to shoulder with
Nowicki as they hit the tape, but
the national collegiate champions
barrel chest was the one to hit the
tWine first.
