might say-and l really believe We do a

With the ball on Yale's 29 yard mark Brick ley had another good chance for field goal, but he received too high a pass and was forced to run with the ball, so that the Crimson lost it on downs. With less than three minutes to play, Knowles made a brilliant run of 35 yards to midfield on a fake kick and A1nsWorth made IS more on a shift, carrying the ball to Harvard's 32 yard line. Knowles carried it around right end to the 2S yard line. and then liar ward did not appear so certain win her. But Harvard stiffened in the crisis and Guernsey tried another drop kick from 36 yards away. It was 3 fine effort, but little bit too much to one side.
 Yale showed another streak of bril- iancy at the opening of the second half, when Wilson lodged back on the kickoff for 20 yards and Knowles rip ped off B around Harvard's right end and had only Logan in his way to 8 touchdown. Again though, Yale was forced to try drop kick, and this time it was from the 48 yard line. Guernsey was far too short. Harvard then pro- ceeded to blow down the field. and by straight rushing made two first downs and put the ball on Yale's 27 yard line.

 A penalty of 15 yards hurt Yale a whole lot at the beginning of the fourth quarter, for it brought the ball back to her five yard chalk. Guernsey made a good kick to his A yard line, but liar yard rushed the ball up to the II yard line before the Crimson was stopped. Yale would not give up a touchdown. however, and of course Brickley simply had to kick another field goal from the 21 yard line.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
EXTREMELY DULL DAY.
Fractional Gains Recorded by New 7a-
 ven, Southern Pacific and Steel.

New York, Nov 23-OnIy one dis tinctive feature of the stock market yesterday stands out clearly, and that is the extreme dullness of the session. If there was any interest among trad
 CTS it was divided between the subject of football and affairs in Mexico On the latter subject traders were pesslm- istic and the consensus of opinion seemed to be that President Wilson S conservative plan had been failure
 and that the situation was growing worse instead of better Brokers were also impressed by the reports of un-
 satisfactory business coming from va rious centers of trade and industry, and on the whole they saw nothing ahead but a period of depression. They could not figure out how there would be q revlval of interest in securities so long as the public at large was kept in suspense by the uncertainty of politics and possible war.
 So far as price changes gave any signs of the general trend of affairs they were without meaning, as move lnents were within narrow channels and dealings were insignificant. Com pared with Fridays closing, the final quotations yesterday in some instances were better. There were fractional gains recorded in Amalgamated Cop per. New York, New Haven & Hart ford. Southern Pacific and United States Steel. In Union Pacific the clos ing price was a shade off, while in Req ding. Pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley and several other issues prices were unchanged. Special strength was eX- hibited in Colorado Fuel and Iron, United Railway and Investment and American Locomotive preferred. but transactions in these Issues were of no importance so far as volume may be taken Into consideration.
