NEW YORK, Jan. 27.--It might be
said of today that all semblance of
activity ceased on all the great stock
exchanges of the world At New
York there could scarcely be said to
have been any movement of prices.
Abroad the financial markets appear
ed to be gazing at the Constantinople
insbroglio without the least idea what
to think of It, Even in the case of
securities of the belligerent states,
there were both advances and de-
clines. 1t was, in short day of sus-
pended financial animation.
Such halt ordinarily means that
/ the familiar influences lately govern
ing the course of values, has largely
I ceased to operate. would indicate that
some new influences must force their
way into recognition before any
definite movement can reasonably be
! expected The stock exchange usual
/ ly reasons, at such times, that the
halt means that the market has either
been sold to standstill,' or bought
to standstill' the customary infer
ence being that the new movement
should be in the opposite direction. It
might be puzzling to say. however,
what is the opposite direction"

BRILLIANT GAME
WON BY SUPERIOR
PHYSICAL SHAPE
Local Machine Proves Fitness
by Repeated Marches Down
Field Through Utah Lines.

~ UTWEIGHED, at the beginning
OF the game, clearly outplayed
by the blue-clad eleven from
Utah. the Tigers rallied in the sec
ond half of, their Price game yester-
day. and ran up score of 40 to D.
Despite the one-sided score 1t was
one OF the greatest exhibitions ever
staged on the fair grounds field.
In the first half Price held the To-
calls scoreless. although the ball was
continually in Utah territory. Line
smashes pushed the visitors back
ward time and again, but stubborn
stands and bad Judgment on the part
OF the locals prevented touchdowns
Three tries at Princetons failed and
not until the local machine decided
to depend wholly on old-fashioned
bucks did the scoring begin.
Once the Tiger backfield commence
ed its plunging tactics at the beefy
line of the visitors the result could
no longer be doubted.
Features of the game were the
dashing playing OF 15-year-old Billy
Franks, a 45-yard punt by Rhone,
and his tackle of Quarterback Empey
of Price. who returned 1t 55 yards
without interference, the 40-yard run
through broken field by Rhone and
Murray's 20-yard run for touch
down.
Rhone Brilliant.
Rhone's individual playing was
brilliant, but not until he realized
that end runs and Princetons were
worse than useless when compared
to the old-style rushes, he did not
handle his machine as cleverly as he
should. With three chances for
touchdowns In the first half passed
up in efforts at quarterback runs, it
can be seen that the score could have
been considerably higher without ap-
preciable effort Rhone, however, in
the judgment of most football crit
les, is one of the best players on the
team, and without his dashing self
the team would lack much of its eff
fectiveness. His run through a
crowded field was declared by scores
to be the finest piece of ball-carrying
ever seen on the local field.
Murray, Walker and Chapman did
brilliant and effective work in gain
ing ground. Chapman's weight and
his stubborn resistance to tacklers
made him bosom of destruction
when he hit the Utah line. Moreover,
the holes he made for other runners
helped nightly in those steady
marches down the field when the
Tigers carried the ball over liter
ally acres of territory.
Peck proved to be one of the
hardest tacklers on either team. He
never failed to down his man and
he downed them hard. One Price

minutes Of steady profanity. ayerred
