BLUE AND CRIMSON MEET.

as last night, the question being wheth. CT Owsley was in good enough condi- ton to go in at fullback at the start, or whether he should be replaced by Finn. 1t was evident from talk with the Yale coaches that changes would be made as often as necessary in the backfield to meet the new formations which Harvard was expected to show. The Yale News in an expert analysis of both teams to-day points out that the most important advantage that the Blue has over the Crimson is it's great strength in a powerful line of veterans which have been developed by sys- tenn of team work The same paper editorially warns the team that it's chief weakness is overconfidence. At the Pequot house, on the Morris Cove shore, the Harvard players were up and out for an early morning walk before the white frost had gone. All the coaches made an early trip up- town, announcing that there would be no lineup or signal practice for the men until the field was reached just before the game. Trainer McMasters said his men--were In me spirits ana were imbned with more confidence than yesterday, due. he thought, to the color of the reports brought down from Yale.
 Tn spite of the importance of, the day the usual routine in Yale was not omitted, and many of the visitors went to chapel just after o'clock, and later had the freedom of the Yale buildings the gymnasium being the chief point of interest. Between 9 o'clock and 2 o'clock the New Haven road had up- wards of forty special trains scheduled to arrive in addition to the regular trains from all directions, each o1 which was crowded. As the noon hour approached the streets became crowd> ed, presenting the usual huriy burly which charaeterizes football day in New Haven. Store windows oven night had been dressed in all sorts of Yale articles. among which 9 crimson banner shone out with prominence. On the curb fakirs with souvenirs, and speculators who were trying to drive a bargain in tickets, added to the merry diY, ss

MUST co TO NEW YORK.
Medical Experts Run Up Against Civil
 Service Commission.

New York, Nov 19. 9.The civil ser vice commission of Greater New York has ruled that the commission of medi- cal experts appointed last year by the icity authorities to investigate pneu- monia and it's causes cannot employ assistants in other cities unless the physicians so employed first come to New York and undergo municipal civil service examination.
 The ruling has surprised the expert commission, which comprises some of the most distinguished medical men i'll the country. It is made up of Profes- sors William Osler and William H Walsh of. Johns Hopkins university Edward G. Janeway of New York uni versity, 1T. Mitchell Pruden and l.. Elm melt Holt of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Frank Billings of Rush Medical college, Chicago: John M. Musser of the University of PennsyI- yania, and Theobald Smith of liar yard. sS -s ss5ss
 To pay the expenses of the commis- sion's work the board of estimate made an appropriation of $1O,0OO to assist them in their researches The members of the commission asked leave to ap- point without competitive exanina- tions physicians of Baltimore. Phila- delphia and Boston to collect data sta- tistics and other material of value to them from those centers of popula- tion. It was proposed to pay these phy- sicians $1O0 month. The civil ser vice commission has now refused the request, though the services of the phy- Sicians would be of an occasional and expert character.

WATCHES SIP A QUART.
Restaurant Han and Barber Invest In
 Them at Bridgeport.

Bridgeport, Nov 19.-Tt was after dark last night, when all of the pawn shops were closed, when a smooth spoken man entered Elmer $. Young's restaurant in Fairfield avenue and told as smooth a hard luck story as Nh Youngs ever heard. The man said that he was no beggar, and drawing out gold watch and chain asked MT Youngs to advance him SIP on it. After examining the watch MT Youngs handed over the SIP and thought thar he had a bargain, even if the stranger never came back. Later MT Youngs ran in to see his friend Buchler, the jeweler, who said he could buy a quart of such watches fd% SIP 1t was good imitation.
 The disquieting information was the subject of talk in the stores in that section and finally reached the ears of J. c. Gerbich, the Atlantic hotel bar Der. s..ss Z
 1 Whats that?" asked MT Gerbich MT Youngs then told him the story of how man palmed off fake gold watch on him a short time ago for $12
 Let's see the watch" said MT Ger bich.
 The fake watch was shown him. Af- ter taking look at 1t he went to a drawer and brought out similar one, and sadly remarked that perhaps the fellow, was the. same one who Dor rowed $10 from him on the watch he held in his hand. Then MT Youngs and MT Gerbich exefaned descriptions of the man, and both were finally con v1nced that the same man played the same trick on each of them.

The field was in good condition. promising an elastic footing for the runners and a safe ground for the punters. The frost os the last two nights had not struck i'll deep enough to make the turf sodden when thawed out by the sun.
 As was the case last night, tho host gathered first at the New Haven house to get the morning tidings from both teams. The excitement began early as the occupants of a score or more sleeping cars which had been quar- tered over night in the railroad yard had to turn out early in search of breakfast. and as most of these were active partisans of one or other of the teams there was an insistent demand for news. Trainer Michael Murphy of Yale was more non -committal than he was last night. but he did say that ip all likelihood his team would play some of the new formations which have been practiced during the past fortnight and which were not shown at the Princeton game week ago, The Yale players were kept in their beds until a late hour, and after break fast were called into session with the coaches for the final words of instruc- tion College routine was not inter rupted by reason of the game, and chapel services were attended by many Of the visitors in town.
 The uncertainty as to the lineup of Yale during the Forenoon was the same

Petroleum Trade in Germany.

Under the direction of the Bank Of
Germany, in Berlin. an effort has been
successful to control the petroleum
trade OF Germany by the acquisition Of
the old fields of Roumania and Galicia
and those situated in Germany, partieu-
larry in the territory of Hanover. The
Bank of Germany Is assisted In this en-
terprise by other Berlin financial institu-
lions and by Hamburg merchants. Every
obstacle has been raised against the
successful working on German soil of the
Standard OIL company, which, notwith-
standing the fact that It has special or
ganization for Germany, It is intended
to combat by this new financial combina-
ton. In the year 1902 100000 tons Of
American petroleum we're imported into
Germany at a value Of $16,s9s,000. The
German Bank enterprise is therefore
likely TO assume unusual magnitude.

Peat in Sweden.

The government engineer. Lieut.
Wallgren. has written a report pointing
out the importance Of peat from the
point Of view Of forest economics and
the great assistance the people Of the
northern part Of Sweden would derive
from a supply Of cheaper fuel. He says
there are s,64s, $40 acres Of moss land In
the province OF Norrbotten, not inslud.
ing 1,2S5, $50 acres at Pajala and the peat
deposits near the coast, and thatitis not
at all improbable that a fifth Of this
area Is covered BY peat moss of con-
siderable depth. Calculated at q low fuel
value, this would correspond to a sup
ply for 20Oyears Of the present coal i'm
port to Sweden.
