It's power over the property and busi- pess of the company "so far as lawful and necessary to effect dissolution of the combination"
 The amendment regarding the plan of dissolution was first stipulated be- tween the Attorney General of the United States and attorneys of the de- lenders.

 with their ability to follow the ball and to profit by the Quakers' errors. Col gates triumph over Cornell was due to much the same condition, although the winning score was made on a short for ward pass, following a return run of kickoff. Fumbling by Cornell at critical stages nullified many yards gained by the Ithaca team in straight play.
 Strength and weakness developed in un- expected quarters. Princeton found Buck Tell harder to defeat than Rutgers week ago. Virginia gave Yale a surprising tussle, the southerners showing an all- round knowledge of the game that caused the Ellis uneasiness until the final whistle. Harvard outplayed the Springfield 7. M. c. A. college. The Crimson play was the best shown so early in the season in several years.
 With one or two exceptions the devel- opment of the eastern elevens was dem onstrated to be ahead of last year at this time and large scores were frequent.

New York, October 4.-That eastern col iege and university football teams are testing the so-called open game was shown Saturday Forward passing and wide spread formations was almost as com mon as line plunges and end runs. Teams of both large and small institutions used open play repeatedly, success or failure depending more on the defense of the op- ronent than the method of deploying the offense.
 The upset which marked the play among the major elevens cannot. however. be charged entirely to this style of game. which eastern coaches heretofore have heen loath to adopt except as a secon- dary form of attack. The defeat of Pennsylvania by Franklin and Marshall came as the result of the powerful of- fense and defense of the latter, coupled
