ONLY FIFTEEN MINUTES PLAY.
In Yale-Harvard Game Players Were
in Action Quarter. Hour

Boston, Jan. 5.-Footba1I men who
played through the recent Harvard
Yale game, spent just fifteen minutes
in actual action. Some of the college
newspaper men conducted the expert
ments which resulted in determining
this fact. Supplied with a sufficient
number. of stop watches to make GER
tain that mistakes would be rectified,
they timed each play from the time
the ball was snapped, until the ref
eree's whistle declared it to be dead
again. The actual playing of the first
fifteen minute period was three min
utes and twenty seconds. The other
periods recorded close to this figure.
The rest of the time was spent in get
ting ready to play. in calling the
signals, and in untangling the piles
after play had been contaminated.
If these figures hold good for all
football games, the exertion would be
about the same as three mile run,
except for the conclusion of the falls,
or bodily contact. The extended exer-
ton of a football game would not be
nearly as hard as a rowing race. 1t
would hold about the same amount of
| would have a more firing effect. The
! total physical exertion of a football
game would be little more than the
exertion of basketball game for one
| half, where the ball ISIS passed con-
| stantly, and few scores were made and
| few fouls called. The idea is a new
| one for the game and will doubtless
be followed next year with a number
| of experiments along similar lines to
| determine the exact amount of exer-
ton which is called for in the game.

WALL STREET is CAUTIOUS.
F'inanciers Think Uncertainty Retards
Trade Revival.

New York, Jan. 5.-While the ut
terances Of the leading financiers re-
garding the outlook for the new year
are conservativeIy bullish in tone, yet
there is a disposition on all sides to
exercise caution. and this applies to
the speculative markets as we'll as to
general trade. The consensus of opin-
ion of the financial doctors is that lit
tie real improvement in trade can be
looked for until the rate question has
been disposed of and the uncertainty
of the position of the railroads as re-
CARDS their revenue definitely deter
mined.
1t may be worth while noting that
nine railroads previous to today had
issued reports on November earnings
and show an average decrease in the
net of per cent for the five months
of the fiscal year, yet that decrease is
not sufficient to endanger the divi-
dends of these roads which could
stand a further loss in net of twice
that percentage before failing to pro-
vide for the regular disbursements
Nevertheless these roads reporting
first are among the more fortunate
ones and it is the weaker roads that
are likely to suffer first

TOM JOHNSON is OFF THE FLOOR
The Crack Basketball Player Finally
Says No.

Lawrence, Kan. jan 5-The
basketball outlook at the University
of Kansas has suffered a little since
school took up at the close of the
Christmas holidays. Two of the
strongest candidates for places on this
years team will not be out for the
varsity. They are Tommy Johnson
captain of last years squad. and Don
aid Martindale, who played a guard
position last year.
Considerable surprise and disap-
when it was learned that these two
men would not be seen in the lineup
for the Jayhawkers this season.
Martindale, the other missing regu-
lar, had been wavering for some time
over an offer which he received from
the Haskell Indian school to coach
the redskins basketball team this
year. Coach Hamilton has just had
word that Martinda1e had accepted the
coaching offer and so will be out of
the Jayhawker lineup.
Johnson's position will be ably filled
by Don Dousman, promising recruit
from last years freshman squad. He
also played several seasons with the
Kansas City. In practice Dousman has
been showing good form.
The lineup at present is given out
as follows: Heller, center; V. Long
and Dousman, forwards; Larson and
F. Long, guards.
Besides the first squad mentioned
Hamilton has several second string
men who have been showing good
form in practice; Wheelock, Stuckey,
Watson, Young. Smith.

NEW CAR SEAL MADE IN KANSAS
lola Firm Claims to Have Perfected
Freight Car Locks.


The Metal Car Seal company. lola.
Kan, has perfected simple and eff
cient means of sealing box cars A
seal to furnish effective protection
must seal the car in such way that
1t can not be tempered with and re-
used; its Identification mark must be
very 1egible SO as to eliminate errors
in reading and in recording, and the
seal should not be capable of dupli-
cation.
The seal made by this company con-
sists of a single stamping metal with
the initials of the company and iden-
tlhcatton number stamped in its face.
two triangula notches cut on one edge
and extending about three-fourths of
the way across the seal, and a small
circular hole for stringing the seals
on a wire for shipment.
In operation the seal must be used
in connection with a car pin having a
rectangular hole. The seal Is insert
ed in this hole and the ends bent up
at the notches, forming a triangle
with the initials and Identification
number outside. The act of bending
up the ends breaks the metal just
enough to insure its breaking off if
an attempt is made to straighten it..
The surface of the metal is coated
with tin so that. it is impossible to
treat the seals by heating before their
application so that they will stand the
rebending. In case heat is applied,
the tin is melted, and the fact that
the seal has been tempered with is
shown by its change in color.
The manufacturers assert that two
thirds of the freight cars now in use
are equipped with car pins with
which this seal can be used, and that
it would not be expensive for the re-
naming third to be so equipped. The
advantages claimed for the seal are
that it is cheap, easy to apply. positive

This is the tentative lineup that Pa
Rourke- has in mind at the present

will not be four catchers used all
through the year and there will be a
couple of pitchers added and probably
a utility fielder and an all-round in
field man. and the team will be COM
plete.
The Omaha magnate's idea is to have
fast team, made up Of live young
players. and he intimates that after
he sells some Of the men he will not
be able to use, he will probably be
in the market for one or two fast
players himself. Last week Pa sold
Fox and Cadmen to Mobile and he
announces that before long Hollen-
beck, WEIGH, Davis and Showers will
be sold also.
Up to date no contracts have been
signed at all for 1911 by the Omaha
men, except Captain Schipke. All the
players heard from declare that in the
spring they will be right on hand. Be-
sides the regular men Pa announces
that he may have two or three young
sterS who will each be given a work
out to see If they will make ball play
ers.
Pa Rourke is going to try something
new for him next season. He is going
to run along with the minimum num-
Der of players, making every man a
producer. Last season he had from
20 to % men on his payroll but thus
far he has the list for 1911 whitfield
down to 16, and five of these are catch
erS. He proposes to keep at least three
of them. Old John Gonding, dean of
the catchers of the league, one of the
premiers when King was backstop-
ping for ST. Joe, is still Olnaha,s stand

A CUP OF TEA.
N Plays Curious Part In chiness
 Business Etiouetta


 Business Etiquette. '
 When a salesman or person seeking . business interview presents his card at the entrance to Chinese mer- chants place of business the possi. bility of an audience depends alto gether upon how he deports himself while awaiting the return of the card bearer. Should he be so indiscreet as to put one foot over the twelve inch railing that intervenes between the step and the doorway no manner of persuasion can prevail upon the mer chant to grant him an interview.
 InS,case he waits patiently in the space allotted to unknown callers this fact is noted, and he is usually ush. cred in.
 OBce in, there is still more delicate matter to be disposed of, and in case the newcomer is ignorant of the cus- tom he fares ill with his errand. I'm mediately upon the callers entering and taking seat servant brings a serving of tea, which includes a small cup for each person present. The point of etiquette demands that this tea shall not be touched until the guest is ready to depart, in case the inter- view has been pleasant one, in which case the caller is supposed to take up and drink his tea at parting, and at this signal all the others do likewise. However, should 1t so happen that the Chinaman is not pleased with his call CT and is in any way annoyed by him the merchant takes up the tea and be- gins to drink at once, which act is direct and decided hint that the in. terview is ended and has not been to the pleasure of the merchant. The caller is then expected to take his i'm, mediate departure.
 When caller has become well ac- quainted some of the formality is bro- ken by the Chinese, and OF a cold day a cup of tea is served immediate. ll to the guest in social way. But the formal" tea is still to be observ. ed and partaken of at parting, ire. spective of the cup given to warm and greet the caller or his arrival. This, however, is done only after many wis. it's, when the business dealings have been of such a nature as to warrant friendship and ospitality.-Youth' Companion.
