YOST'S OLD MACHINE
 WAS POINT MINUTE
Hestcn Says Former Michigan Teams
 Were the Greatest Ever.

Willie Heston, former University of Michigan football star, and generally considered to have been one of the greatest halfbacks in the game, de- ciares that with the exception of the 1SO6-7 and possibly 1908 teams, there hasn't been d football eleven at the U- of NJ. since 1900 that wouldn't have defeated Yale, Harvard or any. of the other crack teams of the east had games been arranged between them.
 As a ground gainer, Heston was the greatest of them all. He knew foot ball both ways from the center, and on numerous occasions made even Walter Eckersall, considered the prize quarterback of an age, appear anna teurish. BecaUse of ais experience, Heston is particularly well qualified to discuss the Michigan teams, and to compare them with the pest of the east.
 Tn my four years of football we had team that was made up of strong players The lire was neavy. fast and strong. IL was practically field was fast and running behind an inVulnerable line was greater than aHy backfiet1 ever turned out. Neal Snow ano Frank Longman were bril- liant players, more brilliant than any of the present Michigan team. There wasn't a weak spot in the team and fosts machine w1s polnt-a- minute machine in truth.
 1Lr l OSi Brand or 1COIDdll IS Su- Eerioi to that Of any coach in the country said Heston. T do nOt gay this because l played under Yost, Out because through years of study l nave been able to compare loat Ies-Ilts Witi' he attai ats of other coaches. YoSt mas turned ot.t great teams from green aterial. Ile has taken n..ltpllal .ssi,.- m the beginning was inferior to the material in other universities and he has Whipped il into better shape.
 r.~r- As fe- uI,. T the 1904 eleven. In that year-my las on the L. of NJ. team--we had to de- velop several players and yet we woL the championship of the west Tnat team was considered by impartia crit ics to have been one of the greatest, if net the greatest, in the countfy There isn't a question in my mind put had We met Yale Harvard or Prince ton. or any of the other strong teams of the east that we would have tII- umphed by two or three touchdc WIS
 ''Yost was a master at the old styie of football; he is still master at ths new game. Yost gathered the nes. game sooner q an did any of the othe! coaches of the country, and he made plays that were even baffllng to ac- 1oottall authorities. The east hasn't the proper idea of Michi- g4ns strength. because Michisap teams met Penrsylvania when the were slipping. In its vjc- tories over the Yost squad, Pennsyl- vania didn't really add to it's laurels :'he Yost teams of lo01-4 would have defeated the Yost teams of 1905-S by overwhelming scores"

owsLEY PREDICTS VICTORY
 BY SMALL SCORE.
Speaks to Yale Team After Their Last
 Practice.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 22.-The last home practice of the 1911 football season was held on Yale field this aft ernoon, and tomorrow afternoon ear ly 2S members of the squad will leave for Auburndale. Mass. It was the in- tention prior to tonight to practice here Thursday afternoon and leave df- rectly after. The men will be taken to the Stadium in Cambridge Friday afternoon and given light signal drill while the pnnters and backs accus- tom themselves to the lights and shades.
 This afternoon the first and second teams were given a signal drill and a. 20 minutes scrimmage, and tonight a mass meeting of the students was held. about 500 attending. Jack Ows- ley. 'o5, was the only speaker, and predicted a victory by a small score. The members of the scrub team and the freshman eleven broke training to- night and held their annual banquets.
 Except for kicking a few field goals in the last few minutes of scrimmage, Captain Howe stayed on the side lines, while Strout and Merreitt ran the team Given the ball on their own ten yard line, the varsity by line smashes by Spalding and end runs by Camp scored a touchdown. Philbin was at fullback in the place of Dunn, and Gallauer was ath right tackle in placa of Pauul, and these two will proba- bly, start the game with Harvard Sat- urday. The rest of the team will prob- ably be the same as played against Princeton.

was an absentee during the afternoon,
 so that the backf1eid consisted of Mc- Cormick and Ricketts, halves, Cough lin fullback, and Robinson, quarter. In the line the combination is the same as has been used in the recent games, Jackson at center, Herbert and Kinney for guards, Elliott and Bliss for tac- kles, Croker and Boyd for ends. Bar ring injuries or sudden substitutions for any other causes, this looks like the playing force for the rest of the season.
 With the new backheld made up of Swan, Mccormick and Coughlin, for carrying the ball. and Robinson as quarter, the Academy's game on the offence has gained materially in pow CT and variety, as three backs work to- gether well in forming interference for the man with the ball and any three of them can be called upon to do the running with the interference that has been developed in the last two weeks of practice Fullback Coughlin works in particularly well in the runs where either Mccormick or Swan is carrying

TEN YARDS IN FOUR DOWNS
 IS sHEvLIN'S REMEDY.
YaIe's Star End Wants to See Some
 Changes in the Game.

Somebody asked Tom Sheviin after
 the Yale-Princeton game if Yale could
 beat Harvard. says the New York Sun T wanted to lick him." said Shevlin ing to win? How can anybody tell anything about this game they are rlaying now, a game built on the the ory of error to scorer"
 Shevlin, who knows as much foot ball as anybody. and more than most. is firmly convinced that football as played now needs rule changing, and he thinks just two changes are needed.
 Mind you. I'm not kicking because Yale was beaten" continued Shevltn. We've won games from Princeton un- der the present rules and played bet ter Harvard team to standstill. so we haven't had any the worst of it with the rules But I'm not strong for a game in which the team on the of fense plays the hazardous game, takes all the risks (the only error on which team can score is one made by the other side in possession of the balD and can't get anywhere. I'd like to see a game in which there isn't so much kicking on the second down and in which the rules don't play your de- fense for you as they do now"
 Shevlin's suggestions for changes are these: First. keep the ten wards and have four downs instead of three; second. have the four backs on the V mage line when the ball is put in play. "Thos are the only changes needed" he says. "Tn& present game makes too big a demand on the quar- terback in offense and doesn't give the other players enough chance to show what they can do. Suppose you gain seven yards on the first tr-- and none on the second. Then it's up to the quarterback to find way to gain on the next and last try. and about the only way out of if for him is to order 8 kick team really has to make its. distance In two plays. which are not enough.
 -Four downs, on the other hand. would .Iead to the deveiepment of offense. Let the. rules stay as they are about not~belping the run ner but give the ouarterbaclk and the other ten players a reasonable number oe opportunities to see what they can do in choosing and irvine plays SD as to give the offense a .~Seir test. This would mean an equitable chance in case of the first play~bein~ made right and mistake being made ip calling the second a charce which it doesn't have now and swhich would put less responsibilit- on one man the nuar- terhsck and give more opportunities to the other ten men

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
NET CHANGES SMALL.
Stocks Climb in Morning and Drop in
 the Afternoon.

l New York. Nov. 22=Quotations mov- ed upward during the fore part of to- 1 days trading in stocks and downward in the late session The two move ments nearly balanced each other. In the cases of the more prominent issues net changes were small, though gen. orally in the direction of high level. Tn early advance was characterlz- ed by the same tendencies as those which marked yesterdays rise, chief movement in the copper issues. Bull traders operated less confidently than yesterday and the feeling that the
 markets strength was to some extent
 ner in which profits were taken when
 favorable opportunities were presented Representatives of commission houses
 said that general speculative buying
 remains small. In the afternoon the
 market showed some signs of weari- ness, and did not respond to manipu- lation of special stocks. The down ward movement of prices in the late
 trading reflected the growth of bear ish sentiment. which, however, was due to the opinion of professional traders in regard to the technical po- sition of the market, rather than to which the whole is regarded as brighter.
 stimulating influence lies in the declaration recently of increased div
  trial companies. Declaration of an extra dividend on the common stock of the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific today made another addi- ton to this list of increases, which, it is expected, will stimulate investment buying. A steady. though compara- lively small investment demand has been noted for some time.
 The further rise during the morning in the copper stocks was stimulated bys excited trading in the London metal market and strength in the local mar ket, with transactions here above 13 cents. The steel stocks also showed strength. Declaration of the usual dividend on Republic Steel preferred was accompanied by a rise of 1 3-S in the stock. as it put an end to reports that the dividend was in question:
 There was further pressure on Third Avenue on account of the courts ap- proval of the reorganization plan, and the stock fell to z, it's lowest price of the year. Two days ago this stock sold at 131-4. Baltimore and Ohio was strong. ref1ecting it's favorable October report. The showing of Lehigh Valley for last month was of a differ ent character. Although operating revenue increased slighty there was a considerable gain in expense, the re- { suit being a shrinkage of $155,00O in ] net, operating revenue.

Potter And Wendell Show New vigol
 and Aggressiveness.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22.-AIl the Harvard varsity team were out for football practice today for the first time in several weeks. Potter was run ming the team, F'elton was at right end and Wendell, who has not been out since the Dartmouth game, was again a. right half.
 The varsity met the substitutes in a ten minute scrinna-e in which neither side scored. Then there was a half hour of signal drill. During the scrim- maze Potter was particularly active in punting and getting off onside kicks. while Wendell showed special aggreS- s;veness after his four days rest.
 Tonight a football mass meetin~ in the Union at which spirited speeches were made and songs and cheers were rehearsed. was followed by a torch light parade in which hundreds of stu dents took part.
