SOCCER GAME IS NOT
 POPULAR AT PRINCETON


 Princeton, N. J., Nov. 7.--"Football is a fine game, and in view of the great popularity 1t has won. 1t would be almost impossible to end Its ca-- reer at present." said Prof. Howard McClenahan. Chairman of the Commit tee on Outdoor Sports, Of Princeton University. today. "The sad accidents which have occurred on ' the gridlTon TOT dictment against the game. From what have heard regarding the sac. cidents at West Point, Annapolis%and other places, it appears that they were due in great measure to the remnants of the old-fashioned game which have survived. such as mass plays. off tackle etc. ~
 of athletic sports. But 1t would scarce ly be a wise policy to stop the game for that reason. As far as the rules go I am satisfied that they have impr ,5ed the game wonderfully from the stand point of safety. and do not. think a ny radical changes are necessary. 1t may be that the use of two or three passes but I do not think 1t likely that the distance to. be gained in downs Will be increased. n
 ..As far as soccer Is concerned, this game Is now classed among the minor sports and 1t is very unlikely that II will ever take the place of football al Princeton. The students and alrmhi would not take interest enough h It The experiment of substituting soccer for football was tried some time. ago by Leland Stanford and other universi- ties on the Western Coast. but 1t oid not prove a success. as the students dlo not support the movement.

Wilson. quarterback of the naval academy foot ball team was operated on this afternoon in an eff fort to save his life. The operation was considered successful and the chances strongly favor his recovery 1t is said.
 as practically hopeless. the surgeons at the naval hospital held another con. sultation this morning and determined to perform 1t. Wilson, who has re- tain his mental faculties. was anxious for the operation. The operation con- sumed nearly two hours. It was per formed by Surgeons Stokes. Iden. Woods and Assistant Surgeon Cottle of the Navy. Later the following statement was issued: everH rne way. 1pePt Parts of the iaminae of the sixth. fifth. fourth and third cer.. yicaf vertebrae were removed and pressure from bone fragments relieved. The casing of the spinal cord was opened and 8 careful inspection made. It was found that the. cord had been danEerously compressed beneath the fourth vertebrae due to the disloca- ton of that vertebrae. All indications were carefully met and the patient left the table in excellent condition with his chances decidedly improved. The outcome depends on the extent of the original damage to the spinal
 Ii was found that above and below this point of pressure the cord was perfectly normal. Experiments showed that while smaller and much com .nressed, there were some pulsations and signs of life in the injured portion of the cord.

Cum ninEham Wilson. of Birmingham, all of whom are at work upon the situ- ation, reach conclusion as to the source of the infection. a full state ment, down to the minutest detail, shall be published. 'The patrons and the public may be assured that no pains or expense are being, or shall be spared to ascertain and eradicate the source of this epil demic, and that not one single detail shall be withheld.

The smaller in- crease in the loans of New York banks which advances In the Bank of England official discount rate fostered conviction that American credits in London had been disturbed In one quarter only to find relodgement in another. Along with this report the impression was conveyed that further protective measures by the Bank of England would be resorted in order to correct this condition.

The interior demand for currency continued. Light on the money market Is thrown inci- dentalfy by the reception rendered by the stock market to announcements of new stock issues. On the industrial side were reiterated reports of the unparalleled state of the iron and steel industry. The copper industrials also were responsive to reports of some large sales of the metal and to reports of negotiations for closer re- lations between the great copper pro-. ducers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.


 New York, Nov. 1.-The election holiday in New York and the usual November holiday in London and Paris caused considerable interruption to the course of events in the stock market last week The halting ten- dency of the speculation was owing partly also to the continued uncertain- ty over the position In the money market. The result was to throw some check upon the stock market activity , Commercial and industrial advices were so highly favorable, however. as to maintain a firm undertone in the stock market. ,+- Attention was centered on foreign money markets in the effort to read the prospect, although advices from those centers reported that considera- ton of American requirements had much to do with forming Judgment on ,hs outlook.

 showing.

Boston. Mass, Nov. 7--Throughout the twenty-four hours of her test at twelve knots per hour, which was finished early today the North Dakota. the new battIeship of the DreadnouSht type. maintained an economical com sumption of coal and water. The con- sumption tests thus far have been in keeping with the remarkable speso shown in her special mile trials.
 Up to the present stage the North Dakota is said to have even eclipsed the fine showing of her sister ship. the Delaware. But in doing so the North Dakota sacrificed one life-that ot i6-year old John Soudon. of Quincy, who died at the Portsmouth naval hos pitai last night as the result of in juries received when boiler tube split open on Friday.
