 When No Sales Were Made.

New York, Nov 22.-Dealings in stocks today marked the low ebb Of any regular session for. several months Sales amounted to only 422,000 shares, one third of the total turnover oc- curing in the first hour. In the aft ernoon there were long stretches of absolute apathy, when former favor ites were almost motionless. Even the 5hort interest failed to follow up it's advantage of the preceding week, evil dently prefering to await a more def mite turn of events.

In hast years remarkable things have occurred as regards college foot ball, but the most remarkable year of the past pales when it is compared with the now closing season. Previous ly unrecognized colleges have placed on their athletic fields football teams of a standard equal and in some class better than that of the widely recog- nized institutions. These teams have 'eaualled and in some cases bettered their bigger brothers and have brought to light football stars of as great or greater magnitude.
 Year of Individuals
 It has been a year where individuals have stood out as never before; year in which old and new style football and all that goes toward making the two styles have been brought together in strong contrast, with honors going first to one and then to the other, causing general upsetting or the ex- pectatfons Of the players and followers and making nil the prognostications of many experts.
 ..It's been a great year for short enderS," is the saying of the betting fraternity. for almost invariably in the bigger games of the season the fa- vorita has been found the loser. This was true as regards the Harvard Cor nell game, the Harvard-Prfnceton game, the Syracuse Colgate game, the Princeton Yale game and many other almost as important contests.
 Two Have Clean Records.
 As the result of the seasons re- markable course we find Cornell and Pittsburgh the only teams with clean records, and this despite the fact that a few weeks ago found many teams with such records. Cornell, this week, faces it's final test in its Thanksgiv- ing Day battle with the Pennsy eleven, while Pittsburgh. on the same day, faces Penn State and until the results of those games are known, the classi- fication of the college elevens cannot be attempted.
 Cornell and Pittsburgh, however, must be regarded among the leaders of the college football world. and if

FEDERAIs LAUNCH A
 NEW ATTACK ON O.. 3.
Purpose is to Secure Some of the Star
 Players in Majors.

New raids for organized baseball players have been launched secretly by the Federals during the past week The purpose of the raids is to secure some of the satellites in organized baseball for the purpose Of having them illuminate the clubs that the Federals will place in New York next season.
 Up to the present time substantial offers have been made to ten of the leading players In the American and National leagues, and 1t is said that at least five of them will make the hurdle before spring.
 The Kansas City franchise. declared forfeited, will be transferred to New York. The best players on the team will be kept. The rest will be sold to other clubs to make room for the new recruits from organized baseball.
 The manager for the New York team has not been selected yet. The Feder- als want player of national fame to lead their new team and are prepared to pay a handsome salary to any one of the four men they now have under consideration for the managerial job. Christy Mathewson of the Giants, whose usefulness as a pitcher is about over, s being given a lot of cousid- eration by the Fed officials.
 Complete details concerning the To- cation of the new club will be am nounced during the coming week. The site of the park 1t is said. is on Man haitian Island, about one mile nearer to the center of the city than is the Polo grounds. The field is said to have an area of 360,000 square feet. The grandstand will be of steel and con- crete. It probably will seat about 35.- 1000. but will be so constructed that 1t can be increased to 5000. with short time.
 The Federals just now are keeping secret the names of those who are going to finance the new club, but promise a surprise when the name of one of the new packers is revealed.

RECORDS OF BIC STERN ELEvENS
Closing Season Has Seen Several Minor Colleges With Teams Equal to the Larger lnstitutions-Corn and Pittsburgh Still Retain Clean States Western Situation Clearer.

they escape defeat in Thursdays games must be given preference in tho standing. Harvard, despite it's lost game to Cornell, places a strong claim to the honor position, and to the minds of many has proven itself the superior tea moi the East Penn State is an- ether Eastern eleven of unusually high standard, with only rather questionable defeat against it's record, for Penn State, only for some ques- toned rulings of officials would have won from the Harvard team, as the Harvard team played in that game.
 Western Situation Clearer.
 Colgate was a championship claim ant without a single point scored lost by an enormous score. Syracuse then rose in the estimation of foot ball fans unti the admittedly weak Dartmouth team played 1t more than even battle without either side scoring. Princeton had a clean slate until it met defeat at Harvard's hands and lost to Yale. Washington and Jefferson enjoyed clean record un- til it encountered Pittsburgh and there are a host of powerful eleveps in the East which lost caste equally sud- denly.
 In the Middle West the situation is a trifie clearer. with Minnesota an H. linois the only undefeated teams or the conference. In the Far West, Washington State College is the sole unbeaten eleven. and generally. is con ceded the title for that section.

CHARLIE DooIN NAMED
 AS PIRATES LEADER.
May Succeed Fred cIarke-Wasner, Il
 is Said, Turned Down the Job.

Electing a successor to Fred Clarke will be a, tough job for the Pittsburgh club. Many names have been suggest ed that would fill the bill. but so far the new leader has not been chosen. Charlie Dooin, former manager of the Phillies and a member of the Giants : team the last season, is one of the men manned prominently in connection with the Pittsburgh position. Doofn Is re- .sarded as good man, even though he did not come through with a winner in Philadelphia. He has plenty of energy ! and understands players well enough tce get the best work out of them.
 The Pittsburgh job is not an easy one by any means. The team is pretty. well down in the list. and 1t will require lot of patience to get it going at a win- ming pace. There Is plenty of pitching material on the club, though, and that Is the department hardest to build up after a team gets down. With Mafnaux Cooper, Adams and Robinson the staff is one of the best of the old league and the new naanager will not have to wor- " if he can build up the tnf1eld to the same standard Of effectiveness as the pitching corps.
 ; The job is one that some managers do not want Wagner, the great short stop of the Pirates is said to have turned down the offer. Wagner has never aSpired to a managership, be- cause he does not consider. that 1t will add anything to his glory. The chances cf falling down are too great for him to risk and his modesty will not per. init him to be in the hmelight enough 70 hold the position. z,i f..f-.-l
 Gitsen is another member of the Pirate team who has been mentioned for the place. The late accounts are that the veteran catcher is the leading candidate for the place, Tommy Leach would make good man for the place but he has been at outs with the club ever since he left 1t three years ago. The management of the Pirates is the most important position open in the biz leagues at present in the managerial. line.
 There is some doubt about the man agement of the Cincinnati Reds fol next year. Herzog has not been re- engaged. but he stands a good chance of getting the place. Huggins is sure of his place at the head of the Cardi- nals. according to late accounts, and Htckey. who was said to be slated fo; retirement, has made good with his team so that he will be able to hole Gown the place for the Browns for an other year at least.

 Army and Navy Play to Form.
 The Army and Navy eIevens did not depart from the form shown in pre- ceding games. The cadets overcame the Springfield Training school team, although they showed only fair foot ball. The r. NJ. c. A. players were unable to do much with the soldiers heavy line and depended largely on the overhead passing game for their ad- vances- The Army checked 1t at crit tcal times, but could do little efIec- tive work along the same lines when they had the ball. Line plunging through the weak Training school for wards was their winning form of ad- vance. The Navy lost to Ursinus aft CT struggle in which the Middies continued to make the errors of judg- ment and in handling the ball which have marred their play all season. As service teams this fall. the Army will be favored to defeat the Navy in the inter-academy game at New York next Saturday.
 Lafayette Triumphed Over Eehish.
 In the other important games of the week end Lafayette trfumphed over Lehigh in a hard fought and brilliantly played contest; Rutgers romped through Stevens: Fordham won a close game from the Indians. Trinity de- feated her old rival Wesleyan in a game in which George B<iclliey was the scoring star: Swarthmore found Aaverford a hard opponent to down; Washington and Jefferson had little trouble in running up a big total at Bethany's expense; field goal gave Columbia a victory over New York university; Buffalo just beat out Rochester. while Georgetown played havoc with the South Carolina eleven.

coIumbia Wins.

In a spectacular game in which every artifice of football was paraded suc- cessfully before some 10000 enthused spectators, Columbia defeated New York university by 19 to Is at South field Saturday. A 47 yard drop kick. his second successful attempt. booted by Howard Miller, quarterback of the Blue and White eleven, which scared majestically over the crossbars in the last minute of play. was the medium which decided the struggle, evenly fought, and so closely and sensation ally contested at all times that the outcome was in doubt, even after Mil- Ter had accomplished a feat equal to the extent of the most revered of foot-' hall heroes.

HARVARD HAD POWERFUL,
 sMooTH.WoRkfNe ELEVEN
tiaushton Welded Fair MatetiaI Into
 a Finished Product.


 Making due allowances for unsatis- factory weather conditions. eastern football teams played comparatively close to form in the games of Satur- day
 Harvard's overwhelming victory in the contest against Yale showed that the Crimson machine, trained espe- cially for this game, was the usual, working and powerful com htnation that Coach Haughton has been turning out at Cambridge for the past few years. Because of the extra ordinary weakness of. the Blue eleven this year the victors stand out with with remarkable prominence. but it is doubtful if the 1915 team was, on Sat- urday. any better than several of its recent predecessors. With the possible exception of few individual play ing features, the Crimson eleven sim ply outclassed the Blue. It was a fn- ished product in which fair material had been welded around the star abil- ity of Mahan, until the entire team moved as a unit. Its generalship, plays and concerted team action were so superior to the tactics of the Ellis that the New Haven gridiron repre- sentatives were both physically and mentally helpless before their con- querors. Yale had the most elementary type of attack and a defense which, while powerful in crude way, was absolutely useless against the strategy of Harvard. Both the first and sec ondary lines of defense were repeated ly thrown off balance or drawn in the wrong direction by the preliminary feints of the Cambridge attack, to be left fiat-footed and wide open when the real plan of advance was devel-
 Vale Lacked FundamentaIs.
 Had the Yale players as individuals been better grounded in the funda- mentals of football the situation would not have been so discouraging from a Blue standpoint. With one or two ex- captions, however. the best that they had to offer was physical strength. which rapidly waned under the con- -certed attack of their opponents, until at the. end it was sheer will power and desperation that kept them on their feet.
 Dartmouth Syracuse Struggle. Next to the game in, the Harvard stadium, chief interest in the east cen- tered in the Dartmouth-S Syracuse struggle, which ended in a scoreless tie. An accurate analysis of the re- spective merits of the elevens engaged l in this contest is almost impossible since the teams met on gridiron deep in mud and were further handicapped by rain and high wind. Apparently Syracuse had not recovered entirely from the hard game against Colgate 1 the previous Saturday, for the Orange players lacked the powerful scoring punch on two occasions when the Lighter Dartmouth team held them for downs inside the five yard line. That | the Hanover players could not score | under similar conditions is not so sur prising. In the division of credit Dartmouth must be awarded the palm for in holding the heavy line and DOW erful plunging back Syracuse to a nc | score tie, the New Hampshire players

Several thous- and students headed by the cadet band and waving red fire marched to the station, where the squad and coaches were cheered.

sudden stop that does the damage.

sudden stop that does the damage.
 So, by all means, avoid putting on the brakes, as that simply locks the rear wheels and makes it easier 1 for them to slide by preventing their nat ural tendency to roll ahead.
 The moment the car starts to slide off at the rear, turn the front wheels sharply in the same direction as the rear ones are skidding.
 Both pair then present an acute an- gle to the line of slide movement; and the rear wheels will resume rolling and follow the front wheels instead of skidding.
 Turning the front wheels in. the direction will aggravate the tendency to skid to a dangerous degree.
 The biggest factor in the prevention of slxidding and in making possible ordinarily inaccessible roads in the winter time is the chain non-skid de- vice.

Annapolis. Md, Nov. 22.-Coach In- graham and his assistants today gave the navy football team the stiffest kind of a scrimmage against the scrubs during which many changes were made, particularly in the line positions.
 As a consequence of the ease with which Ursinus plowed through the Navy forwards last Saturdya, three and possibly four positions have been made uncertain The doubtful places are the two ends, where Won Helm burg and Johnson are fighting to hold their places over Blodgett and Jack son; right guard where a choice will be made between Smith and Holl- man and center. where it is probable that Goodstein may replace Jones.

The memory of one bad accident is enough to mar permanently the pleasure of the motorist, and it is therefore a matter of first importance to take all precautions to guard against even the semblance of a dis aster Of any kind
 Mechanical advances in construc- tion have so improved the automo- bile that there is little excuse for smashes. Perhaps the only risk that cannot be entirely eliminated comes in the use. of a car on wet and slip pery streets. which brings to the fore the peril of skiding.
 The skid is one of the most nerve racking of experiences.
 There is nothing that makes man lose his nerve so thoroughly as a bad skid that ends in a broken wheel against a curb or that makes matters far worse by. "hide-swiping" a nov ing trolley car.
 1t took American inventive genius to discover that if there was suf- hcient pressure on a chain 1t would take tons of effort to slide it over a wet pavement or the muddieSt of dirt roads; and that the weight of any car itself automatically supplies more pressure than is ever needed effect lively to stop a tendency to slide on the part of the slippery rubber sur- eace of the tire.
 II was Ln01 OIlly d QucSIAOh 1OA uidh- ing coat of chain mail in such form that it could easily be put on and taken off the wheel.
 Probably no other device has done so much to raise the factor of auto mobile safety.
 Unfortunately, roads are not always all wet or all dry.
 When one starts out in the rain it's an easy matter to go prepared by putting on the chains, and when it's really wet, nothing gives a greater feeling of security than 'chains'' on all fours'': for, of all skids. the front wheel variety is to be most dreaded, Is it is the hardest to counteract by manipulation of the steering wheel.
 But in the driest weather there nay be the efforts of the street sprink- CT to contend with or a sudden show CT may overtake the car within a ihort distance of home that driver would rather take the risk than get out in .the rain to put on the shains. s'
 In such contingencies the ability o do the right thing at the right me is a great help.
