Final Practice for Navy.


 Annapolis, Nov. 27.-The members of the naval academy football team this afternoon wore their fighting togs on the local gridiron for the last time before going to Philadelphia where on their army rivals from West Point. The team and substitutes, who mum Der 35, will leave for Philadelphia to- morrow morning.
 The practice this afternoon consisted of a stiff signal drill and careful scrimmaging, during which no effort was made at scoring. The day being a holiday, most of the members of the brigade were out on liberty in An napolis and no demonstration was held such as is usually given the players on their last afternoon on the home field
 While the coaches have not an- nounced positive lineup, and will not before going to Philadelphia, it is practically assured that the eleven who started last Saturdays game against New York university will start the game against the army The officials will be Langdon oi l Trinity, referee; Sharpe of Yale, um- pire; Smith of Pennsylvania, head 1 linesman.
 Because of an order issued by Cap 1 tain Gibbons, superintendent of the naval academy, prohibiting betting among the midshipmen, the annua 1 "def'' bet between the army and navy i cadets on the result of this years l football game at Philadelphia next Saturday will not be made. The wager | always made at even money, has some times reached as high as $5,000-$2, ,50C | to a side.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
APATHETTc BUT STEADY.
Approach of Holiday Causes DulIness
 in the Market.

New York, Nov. T.-Stock exchange operators marked time today. The characteristics of the market were its apathy and it's steadiness in the face of the still unfavorable position of money Traders deemed 1t hazardous to enter upon new ventures owing to the tension on the money, but at the same time there was no pressure to sell. The result was inertia. The at tendance on the floor of the exchange was small and trading was reduced to a low point. The approach of the Thanksgiving holiday was partly re- sponsible for the dullness. There was some pressure on Canadian Pacific and Reading, and Lehigh Valley sold off just before the close. Rubber and General Electric were strong. Other wise fluctuations of stocks were mar row enough to deprive the movement of any significance:
 Money was easier today, with a maximum of g per cent. for call loans. This was the opening rate, at which renewals were made, and from this point quotations declined until, before the close there were offerings at 1 per cent. This center was called upon for nearly $2,000,000 gold for shipment to Canada and San Francisco. The movement to CdI1dQd, WHICH dDSOTDeO the greater part of the gold, was as- cribed to preparations on the part of Canadian banks for the quarterly statement as of Nov. 30.
 The comparatively small amount of liquidations in stocks induced by high money rates is accepted as an indi- cation of Wall streets inclination to take a hopeful view. One. factor doubtless has been the most persist entity optimistic view held in the street recently as to the outcome of the Balkan war and the broader polit- ical rsituation Tn Europe. Traders are also influenced by the belief that the revival in the country's business vii make itself felt on the stock exchange once the war crisis is past and tho strain in money is relaxed.
 Trading in bonds was relatively larger than in stocks. Distribution wa, good and prices were well maintained Total sales, par value, $1,522,000.
 United States bonds were un. changed on call.

LIST OF KILLED
 SMALLEST SINCE 1901
Ten Players, All from Small Schools or Independent Teams, Fatally ln- jured During Past Season.

Ten killed and 1SS injured consti- tutes the toll collected from the grid iron during the season of 1912. Despite assertions that the game of 1912 diff fered little from the old style plunging game, the list of dead is the smallest since 1901, when seven lost their lives. Five more injuries were reported this year than in 1911, but the record is short of that of 1909, when 30 were killed and 216 injured, or that of 1910, when 22 succumbed and the injured numbered 439.
 Ted York, a member of the Yale varsity team, sustained slight injuries in the Yale-West Point game. He re- covered from the football injury, but was stricken with pneumonia. He died Oct 31.
