New Haven Nov 1.-THE Yale Alumni Week
Iy'' tomorrow will give an expert criticism OF
the Yale football team, which Saturday will
riay Princeton at Princeton. This IS interesting
particularly because even undergraduates have
not seen the team it is made up in

brought several TO the front and has
placed veterans in positions
The criticism in part follows:
The Yale upset with Brown, and the knowledge
now that Yale's strength was less than had been
advertised. will drive Princeton to herculean e1-
forts Princeton is to-day in better condition than
Yale and her last week OF practice, with the team

able to uncover something in this form In
which she has put her team, but IL is not TO be
denied that the outlook is FAR from bright for
a victory This Yale team has the possibilities

Controller Metz will offer for sale on November
o So 500 600 Of per cent stock and bonds Of the
CITY OF New York. 4 year ago it was tmpracu-
cable 10 sell per cent bonds at par but the cleo
ton of Taft and Sherman and the business revival

that the Controller will have trouble in selling
IS at a premium.
The Controller said yesterday that 70 facilitate
the sale Of the bonds and the payment OF interest
on them to English investors, he had decided TO
omen an office in London. with an authorized agent
in charge. In this way the interest on the bonds
held by London investors can be collected readily
in London obviating the delay involved in having
the interest sent from here
The last sale of city bonds was in February,
when an issue Of S6oooOON0 az per cents was over
subscribed six times. II the largest sale in
the history Of the city
The new bonds are for the following purposes.
s. coo 600 various municipal purposes. Si0ooo0
to extend and develop the citys water supply sys-
tenn $4,000 for subway purposes. S250.o0o for the
Public Library in Bryant Park, and $4,000 ten
year) assessment bonds to cover the cost of i'm
provenents for which assessments must be levied
The Controller says that he believes the bidding
for the offering will be almost spirited as
il was in February. although this issue commands
a lower rate of interest.

All the departruent and bureau figures we're cor

out of the budget somewhere and the Controller
decided that as he could not deprive any head OF

mako the change was in rents These total about
81 90 ONO a year and they vary considerably ne
decided the change Of the figures would not make
much difference.
Borough President Coler said he was willing 70
bet that Controller Metz would find the mistake
in his own department, and then suggested that a
