FAVORITES EXPECTED
TO WIN IN THE EAST
Big Eevens Practically All Draw Weak Opponents
gate Battle May Be Cose-Princeton, Harvard and
Yale Should Win Easily

New York, October 1.-THE football
the big university teams of the east, is
unmarked by a single threatening cloud
on the eve of the weekend games AL
most without exception the elevens of the
leading institutions face teams, the foot
ball ability of which is such that the
contests scarcely rise above the plane
minor college teams which a year ago
caused gridiron upsets, meet the same
opponents but during the past II months
have dropped to a mediocre standard
and cannot hope to repeat the victories of
1872
The United States Military academy
eleven appears to have drawn the hard
est opponent of the day in Colgate. Har-
ward, Yale, Princeton Cornell and Penn
sylvania are all called to face much
weaker teams than the West Pointers
The Crimson will line up against Holy
Cross, which was defeated by Yale 10 to
0, in the Els second game of the sea-
soi Princeton mas syracuse as an op-
ponent and that eleven has shown moth
ing startling in its three games to date.
Pennsylvania will entertain the Brown
university team, but it is only shadow
of the eleven which defeated the Quakers
so to Z in 1912.
Lehigh Meets Yale
Lehigh will play Yale at New Haven
and judging from the way the team
held Carlisle to 21 to victory should
give the Blue good battle. At Ithaca
Cornell will play Bucknell. which scored
on Princeton week ago.
In the second flight of eastern elevens
the two most promising games are La
Fayette VS.. Swarthmore and Dartmouth
VS.. Williams. The Carlisle Pittsburg and
Navy-Dickinson games promise nothing
out of the ordinary.
Important games of Saturday in the
east, west and south with the scores of
1912, follow

Daniels Seeks to Put
End to "Favoritism''

Adding today to the statement which
he made yesterday in The Times, de-
Tending his action with regard to the
four candidates for commissions in the
Marine Corps whom he "funked' after
they had been recommended by the ex-
amining board. and his substitution OF
three other names in the list of sue
cessful applicants, Secretary Daniels
declared today:
The real point in the matter is that
the question of efficiency or adapt
ability is merely one of opinion. 1t is
not decided by any examination. 1t
opens the door TO selection by a test
that is not uniform. There has been
criticism in the past that it has been
employed TO help applicants known to
or favored by public officials or boards.
InaSmuch as the opinion OF men is
open 10 such diverse influences. II can
not be contended that II is a test that
is always just or fair.
81 wish examinations that give equal
test to all and that eliminate all chance
and varying opinion. AS long as the
opinion OF one man or three men as to
efficiency or availability prevails
there is danger of injustice or favor
itism or mistake. II selection is made
purely upon written examinations there
is no element of personal judgment or
favoritism and no danger of either. 7
am trying to eliminate all temptation
and opportunity to favor any man."

STADIUM PLANNED
FOR POTOMAC PARK
Scheme For Holding Army and
Navy Game in Capital Gains
BY Impetus.

Plans for staging the Army and Navy
football games in Washington in the
future received a marked impetus to-
day when it developed that the Depart
ment of Buildings and Grounds. in lay
ing otIt the plan for the Improvement
OF East Potomac Park, had already pro-
vided tentatively for a stadium modelled
somewhat after that at Harvard, and
capable Of seating 1000 people.
The plan, which has received the ap-
proval of Secretary of War Garrison.
was explained in detail by Col. Spencer
Cosby, superintendent of buildings and
grounds. who has been the moving spirit
In the improvement OF the lower part Of
Potomac Park. The stadium, IL erected
in accordance with his idea, would stand
Just south of the railroad tracks, where
they approach the bridge, and the track
would extend almost the entire width
of the peninsula.
Plans Not Worked Out.
"As to whether this stadium should
be erected by the Government and
leased by IL for track meets, football
games, horse shows. and other pur-
poses, or whether II would be better
to allow il to be built with private
funds and its management SUPERVISED
b. the Government, is something We
have not discussed" said Colonel Cos
by But I can think of no place in
the city where a big stadium would be
more convenient to railroad, water and
street car transportation facilities"
The map in the colonels Office shows
a horseshoe-shaped structure enclos-
ing one end Of an oblong running track
On three sides. This track would be
half a mile in circumference and at
one end OF II would be ample room TO
Law out football gridiron. Outside of
the stadium is another large oval run
ming track three-quarters of a mile
in circumference, while the whole Is
incIosed in d speedway one mile around.
Too Late This Year.
secretary Garrison pointed out this
morning that II is too lat" to talk
unless negotiations with the owners
Of the Polo Grounds, in New York.
fail. But his manner strongly indi-
Gated that he would throw his in
fuence in favor of Washington next
year. provided Washington is willing
TO get busy and build an adequate
stadium.
Personally" he said. Il would be
GLAD to see the game here, but II all
depends for the future on what the
Tcoi le Of this city are willing to do
toward pro"iding proper grounds and
& proper stadium. IT would he well
! should think, TO have no aged place
lot tIe s1"S an lu'uIo' 'he year II
might be held here. the next in
Philadelphia. and the next in New
York.
THE agreement reached in the con-
ference yesterday had to do only with
this year'E game"
Anticipating a probable desire on the
part of army and navy officers In the
future to have the scrimmage in Wash
ington, the War Department has already
in its possession suggestions for the
Improvement of the lower end of Po-
tomac Park in such a way az to provide
gIound for an athletic stadium as large
as that at Harvard University. 1t -

Government would undertake the ex-
pense OF erecting stands. and the money
would probably have to be raised by the

rAIfalfa Bill" Murray
Condemns Presidents
Policy Toward Mexico

President Wilson's policy of moral
susEion in Mexico was characterized as
q failure and as foolish on the floor
Of the House today bv Congressman
william Murray of Oklahoma. Mr..
Murray delivered a speech urging
stronger means for the protection of
American citizens in Maxico, and as
serting that this country had never
yet been forced into war because it
upheld its treaty rights.
Alfalfa Bill" as he is commonly
known. delivered his anti Mexican
speech during the debate on the urgent
deficiency bill, wich carries a 800 900
appropriation for transportation of des-
titute Americans who want to leave
Mexico.

Murray pointed out that in lS43 the
marines had been landed in China to

from mohs, and that thousands OF Amer

Reviews Other Cases.
He reviewed other cases where the
United States had insisted upon treaty
obligations and the protection of life
and property of IFS citizens, and de-
clared that the show of force Of arms
in those instances had not brought on
war.
Quoting from the Baltimore platform,

.RAP|D-F|RE SALES
SAVE DULL MARKET
Washington Railway and EIec-
trio Preferred Figures in
Today's Session.

A number of rapid-fire sales of
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred saved the local Stock Exchange
this afternoon from an almost dead
session, although even with that the
market could have been called brisk
only by stretch of the imagination.
One share of the stock was sold at IS,
after which efforts were made to pur-
chase II at q. These failed. however,
but the offer of rs for ten shares
brought an offer and sale. following
which another ten, two fives in success
sion, and finally eight shares, this odd
lot concluding the holdings of the sell
ing broker, were sold. A bid of IS,
however, brought out an offering or
twenty-five shares and then two SHARES,
making a total of sixty-siN shares sold.
Just before this 1900 Potomac Con-
solidated SIS were sold at 1875, this be-
ing the only sale, aside from the sales
of Washington Railway and Electric
preferread, on the regular call. After
the call 500 bond of Capital TRACTION
SIS was sold at 10s15.
A wave of excitement went through
banking circles in this city, and prob
ably for that matter all over the coun-
try where the news was heard. when 1t
introduced in the Senate providing for
a resumption of the consideration of the
banking and currency bill in December.
When the first bulletin came out, the
bankers We're puzzled. some thinking II
was the method taken by those opposed
to any kind of currency legislation to
defeat the aim of President Wilson.
II was soon discovered, however, that
the idea was only to make II possible
for the tired legislators to get back to
their homes and clean up before the next
session OF Congress rolls round. and
that the postponing of the currency bill
had no bearing on the final disposition
of the measure.
A great deal Of bahdinage has occur
red among local bankers and brokers,
ard for that matter stockholders, over
the disposition of some members OF
Congress to bring about municipal own
ership of the public utilities in this
city.
II has brought forth a number of
comments, one broker remarking that
he would be glad to sell IL he got his
price, and that there was no one to
whom he would sell 80 readily as the
Government, because he would be quite
"And you know they have to pay you
for 1t: they can't take your stock away
he concluded.
On the stock exchange a large holder
OF the Capital TRACTION and an equally
large holder Of the Washington Railway
and Electric, amused the members by
their shots at the comparative prices
which the Government would pay for
the two stocks II 1t bought them.
The washington Gas Light Company
has filed with the Public Utilities Com
mission a complete list of all the stocks
and other securities II owns, follow
ing the request of the commission, in
order to show Just how much of the
stock of the Georgetown Gas Company

taken to bring about a dissolution of
the connection between the two COM
