ONE MAN COACHING

interesting Reports Learned frerI
 Princeton Football CIreIes.

Stories showing how badly the foot ball committee handled the Princeton eleven thIs year are giving increasing impetus to the demand from both stu- dents and graduates fora. one-man coaching system for the Orange and Black.
 The latest report how the committed of five bungled things has to do with the losing of the Yale game From an authoritative source at Princeton 1t Is learned that the Tigers defense against the forward pass was sudden game by one of the younger members of the committee, who failed. to notify his, colleagues. -..
 According to this yarn, Snake Anes. chairman of the committee, asked lib bolt in the dressing room after the game what he was Msoing so close to the line when Yale scored her first touchdown on a, forward pass from LeGore to Ainsworth.
 T. was ordered to play up near the line yesterday" replied, Tibbotts who had he been in his regular position might have been able to intercept the pass. AS it was he was so close to the line that the pass went over his head and he couldn't get back quick enough to catch Ainsworth, who was racing to the goal with the ball Ames inves- tigated and discovered that one of the younger members, without any author ity and acting. solely on his own reI had changed the entire system for breaking up forward passes
 BiR Lee gave another example how the fine material at Princeton this sea- son was juggled. We old fellows ,r said the former Tiger star; were made to feel that we were not wanted. We tried to suggest that the players be taught the rudiments of the game,

 MORE PROMISING
Demonstrated by the Ready Sale ei $12,7o0, 900 Canadian Pacific 4 f.2 Trust Certificates.


 New, York, Dec. 4.-Financial in- vestment conditions were more prom Using today. This was demonstrated by the ready sale of the $12, 700, ,000 worth of Canadian Pacific 1-2 trust certificates offered by a banking sym dfcate. There was also a further ex- tension Of the inquiry for various short term notes, including New York city 6's, which retained their recent ad- vantage.
 Monetary conditions were again pronounced factor, the relaxation of rates in 30 and 60 days loans being most apparent. There was an even larger supply of call money at 3 1-2 per ecent and most time renewals were deduced to per cent, this figure bein-- scaled on prime collateral. This phase of the financial situation gave rise to renewed rumors Of foreign loans by our bankers, as well as the probabilities of considerable home financing. It was known that a, num- Der of domestic corporations were about to enter the market for funds to meet maturing obligations and the approach of the new year was ex- pected to witness many operations of this character. A few changes, main 1y in the direction of improvement issued by the exchange. Peoples aGs of Chicago gained two points and St. Paul 1 IA, with fractional advances in Pennsylvania and Union Pacific. Trading in bonds. was marked by more narrowness and smaller offerings, with an irregular mixture Of gains and losses, the latter being more pro- nounced in relatively unknown issues.
 Gains extended generally from 1 to 4 points. Virginia debt certificates rose g points
 Foreign exchange played less than its usual part in: the days business bills and draft on London being in light request Marks. however, lost little of tehir recent Strength, the ad- vance again being ascribed to German sales of our bonds in this market. <
 One of the largest railroads placed an order for rails. Ohter contracts for like materials are said to be pending. Pittsburg and other steel centers re- ported an increase of operations and the textile markets also made an im- proved showing, an increased jobbing demand.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The stricter fac ton of the faculty representatives of the intercollegiate conference, or 'big nine,'' will renew tomorrow it's battle for the adoption of the two sport rule, a, measure designed to limit the time student spends on athletics by permitting his participation in only two sports.
