CONY PREPARED FOR
GAME WITH MORSE
SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Friday afternoon showed good
squad of Cony football huskies out
for practice on Reuel Williams field.
Signal drilling and a very light scrim-
mage constituted the afternoon s
workout. Coaches Merrill and Gale
paid particular attention to each in
dividual position, schooling the men In
those details which are correctly call
ed the finishing touches. the lack Of
which is not extremely noticeable but
the possession of which is an essential
for winning team. From end to end
each linesman now knows what Is ex-
pected of him in the way of taking
advantage of every opportunity which
the game affords and every backfielder
can be called to account for a failure
to execute any detail of stiff arm,
dodge or turn which in game might
mean yards. At no time during the
present season has the team worked
more smoothly than it did yesterday
afternoon. It showed encouraging re-
suits of a weeks careful training.
If in the few hours which remain be-
fore Cony meets the Bath representa-
ton from Morse High the idea OF pure
football which was exhibited. yester-
day remains intact there is but one
prediction as to the result of the con-
test--another victory for Cony. 1t is
understood that Morse High offers a
tough proposition to defeat but If 100
per cent. straight football has any
thing to do with the result the balance
Of probability sways downward on the
Cony side of the beam.
Morse High is expected to arrive on
the noon train and will return to Bath
in the evening The game will be call
ed at 2.30 and a large crowd is expected
to witness what should be a hard and
fast game.

Features Of the Days Dealings In An

New York, Nov 6-Two deveiopnsnts
OF distinct significance were recorded in
the financial situation today One was
the rather free lending of six months
money at 3-4 per cent on mixed COL
lateral as against the long standing
per cent rate, and the other was the
sale OF the New York City per cent
par, at price to yield only 40s per cent
Incidentally commercial paper was ac-
cepted for the shorter periods at a frac-
ton under per cent. In line with this
general Improvement IL was also learned
that the Stock Exchange authorities will
within short time order the removal of
certain restrictions which have operated
against the purchase and sale OF high
class securities. 1t Is not implied, how
ever. that anything like regular opera
tons will be permitted. Dealings in list
ed and unlisted bonds and notes were
said to have approximated 81, 900 par
value. Aside from the demand for city
issues the notes of several OF the more
prominent railway companies were in ac-
tive request at prices returning from

issues were quoted at prices above July

was once more a negligible factor so far
as London was concerned. Bank clear

ment except in the agricultural sections
and certain manufacturing centers whose
industries have benefited by sales OF
merchandise to the warning nations. Cot
ton continued to be one of the chief ar
ticleS of export, but the sharp advance
in marine war risks has had marked
tendency towards the curtaiiment Oh
shipments to all foreign points.

duel during the first period with only
enough rushing to feel out each Others
defence and that the final score would
be small one.
The contest will be the 18th since the
two universities began playing the
Rugby game. Since 1877 Princeton has
won u games to Harvard's five. The
Crimson has captured the last two
contests During the present season
the two teams have been equally sue
cessful, each having a record of fiI g
games won and one tied. Harvard has
rolled up 131 points to 73 for Princeton.
Opponents have scored 2S points on
Harvard and rs on Princeton.
The Princeton team camped in
Crimson domain tonight. The back
field, including the kickers. came on
several hours ahead of the main
body of players. and during the after
noon they tried out the air currents
of the stadium. All the players passed
the night at a suburban hotel.
Members of the Harvard team, aft
er a nights rest at the Country Club
in Brookline, motored to college for
reeitations today, but returned 70 the
club for another round of golf and
forgetfulness of football for The time
being.
Cool, snappy weather with dry turf

J|NX GETS ''HERB"
FOSTER OF BOWDo|N
SQUAD-TEAM SHIFT

Brunswick, Me-, Oct. 6.-(SpeciaD.-
The Jinx that has consistently pursued
the Bowdoin College football team this
season is still on the job and his lat
est attack against the Brunswick col
legians occurred Wednesday afternoon
when Herb Foster, the fast Varsity
left halfback, received injuries IN
scrimmaging that will in all probable
ity keep him out of the University or
Maine game tomorrow. Coach NC
Cam, however, Is not the man to give
up in an emergency and by radical
shift in the lineup he has made
backfield that promises to be one Oh
the most formidable that the White
has employed this year.
!. Guy Leadbetter, who is acknowledg-
ed as one of the strongest players on
the Bowdoin team, has been shifted
from his customary position at right
tackle and will serve as fullback in
tomorrow's contest. The Dackfield is
not a new position by any means or
the big lineman played the fullback
position in both the Amherst and
Trinity games.
George Goliath, who has put up
steady, strong game in backfield posi-
lions. will start at right half while
Ben Bradford, Sophomore, who has
been kept from practice so far this
wear bv an entrance condition, but
who has regained his standing during
the past week, will probably play the
left halfback position. Tomorrow will
be Bradfords first game on either the
first team or the second team but he
is fast, rangy and full of fight and
should prove a fit substitute for Fos-
ter. shumway is in comparatively good
condition now and will occupy the
quarterback's berth. Burleigh Moulton
will take Leadbetter's place in the
line. The entire Bowdoin squad will
leave for Orono today in order that
they may enjoy a good nights rest
before tomorrow's battle. Coach Nc
Cam, Trainer Magee and Manager Jo-
seph C. Macdonald accompanied the
team.

Chicago, Nov 6-American LeaguerS
in winding up their annual conven-
ton TODAY left unsolved the two most
important problems supposed to be on
the program. The question of peace
with the Federal League appeared no
nearer solved, in spite of all the de-
bate on the subject and no change in
ownership or in list of stockholders In
the New York Club was announced.
Regarding the latter point, 1t was
given out that no formal discussion
had taken place. But it was noted
that, while most Of the magnates
caught early trains for their home
towns tonight, Frank Farrell of the
New York Club and Joseph ]. Lannin
of the Boston Club stayed over, say
ing they would start back East To-
morrow. A shakeup in the membership
of the New York Club was CONSIDERED
advisable by some of the magnates as
a preliminary to an attempt TO
strengthen the team in the metropolis.
Only a rather definite statement that
the Wards, owners of the Brooklyn
Federals, would not buy into the New
York Americans was announced on
the Federal situation.
