New York, Jan. 1.-THE announce
ment of an intended issue of addition
al capital stock by the Pennsylvania
Railway Company to the extent of
s100,000000 in Stocks arrived to
shock the speculative investment deal
ers in the stock market today. Penn
sylvania shares sold down four points
from yesterdays close under an enor-
nous unloading. The st. Paul, Atchi-
son, Northern Pacific and the Balti-
more & Ohio systems were most
acutely affected of all stocks in the
general list. The sharpness of the
break invited profit taking by the
bears and supporting orders were put
out also as protective measure by
inside interests. The result was a
substantial rally in the course of the
first hour.
Great Western Stock Issue.
Owing to no decision having been
handed down by the Minnesota Courts
in the action by which the attorney
general of that state would enjoin
the Great Northern Railway Com
pany from issuing its proposed $780,

is again obliged to postpone the clos
ing of its books relative to the issue
The books were to have been closed
yesterday but they will now be kept
open until January Is. 1907. The
date of the first payment on the new
stock has been advanced from January
IA to January IS.

ATHLETICS 1T COLUMBIA.
Neec Faculty Regulations to Govern
Eligibility of Students.

New rules regulating the academic standing
OF members Of athletic teams at Columbia were
put in force yesterday. The principal change
from the old rules is regulation providing that
students shall be excused from all recitations
that come In conflict with approved games
Other provisions of the new rules are:
To be eligible man in college must have
gained minimum OF points exclusive OF physi-
cal education, follows: First half year II:
second half year, "a; third half year SO; fourth
half year, "a; fifth half year, 50: sixth half year
81; seventh half year, 1O2. II in the schools of
law, applied science, medicine or pharmacy, he
must not have been dropped from his class If
a man has at any time been dropped from his
class he must have completed a full years
work, or else regained his class before he is
eligible again
ANY student who is a candidate for any team
representing the university In a public contest or
performance who shall seem to his dean to be
neglectful Of his studies, may be declared In
eligible. Students who have not matricuated
must have passed satisfactory entrance ex-
animation, or must have completed successfully
a full years work before they are eligible.
The rules more stringent than those pre-
vlously IN tnr0e. particularly the one about the
number Of points required at the end Of each
half year. This is likely TO have disastrous
effect on some members OF the track team and
crew.

Such a road. I think, to be safe should be

CHALLENGE TO COME UP
This and Other Questions Before
La5cn Tennis Meeting.

The twentv-sixth annual meeting of the United
States National Lawn Tennis Association VIII
be held tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria. The
question Of challenging the Englishmen for the
Dwight F. Davis international challenge cup and
the Incorporation Of the association promise 10
make the meeting memorable one The de-
tails connected with the Offering of the interna-
tional challenge cup for women players. with
which the names of Mrs John Jacob Astor and
Mrs Barger- wallach have been mentioned, and
the manner IN which the American challenging
team of men viii be selected and sent abroad
are likely TO provoke considerable discussion
among the delegates.
There have been rumors Of reforms to be en-
acted ever since the playing Of the national
championship at Newport last August. Whether
not any OF the vexatous questions as to the
place OF holding the championship tournament
the disRgreements as to the official ball and the
qualifications Of various competing players will
be thrashed out is uncertain.
That the present administration would be re-
tstned IN power was the belief of the players of
this city yesterday, despite the fact that these
same players have continually voiced their dis
satisfaction. The officers of the present admin
fstration are as follows: President. James
Dwight; vice president, Robert y. Wrenn; treas
urer. Richard Stevens; secretary, Palmer f.
Presbrey: executive committee, William A
Larned, Dwight F. Davis, Kreigh Collins, Ray
Tnond D. Little, Holcombe Ward, William j.
Clothier, Frederick 6. Anderson. A L. Hoskns
and L d. Scott
Among the number of representative players
thsre is feeling that the team to be sent abroad
20 regain, IL possible, the international cup
should be chosen only after a series of competi-
tive matches. The fiasco Of last year is still
remembered, and prominent club officials de-
clare that their organizations VIII not be ready
TO subscribe to the expense fund for the team
unless assured of only top class players being
chosen, irrespective Of previous ranking or place
The schedule of championships and tourna-
ment fixtures VIII not be made at the meeting
tonight although the applications for dates will
be q part of the routine business. The final
awarding of the dates will be made two weeks
hence by the executive committe.

TO REFORM BASKETBALL.
Captain Pierce VIII Study Yale and
Columbia Game.

The first steps in an effort to bring the rules
used By the various basketball teams throughout
the country into some sort of harmony win be
made tomorrow night, when Captain Pierce. of
West Point. will attend the Columbia Yale game,
with the idea of studying the workings of the
intercollegiate rules before proposing any
forms. Captain Pierce was appointed a com
mittee of one for this purpose by the executive
committee of the Intercollegiate Athletic Associ-
alton of the United States
The principal difficulties arise when teams
playing under one set Of rules meet those play
ing under another. Not only are both teams
Handicapped. but the referees are also in trouble
IN many cases there IS as much difference in
interpreting the rules in the rules themselves

man is allowed 10 touch the ball only once with
both hands. This practically prevents dribbng
When man shoots for a basket under the ANA
Athletic Union rules and the ball goes out

intercollegiate rules the first man to touch the

these differences sometimes cause was found In
the game OF Columbia against the Chicago Cen
trail Young Mems Christian Association, when
thirty fouls were called the Blue and
