CORNELL DEFEATS PENN BY GALLANT
 RALLY NEAR CLOSE

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-Cornell's S 1915 football team wrote it's name in football history in blazing letters on Franklin Field yesterday afternoon when at the end of one of the most stirring contests ever seen on that grfdiron scoreboard read:
 Cornell, "A; Pennsylvania, g.
 These figures mean much more than cold numerals to Cornell men the country over They spell Corne1l's claim to the Eastern football cham pfonship, a claim which is strength ened to the point of Iacceptability by most followers of the game by reason of yesterdays sweeping victory over the University of Pennsylvania And Cornell earned the victory needed. Entering the last fifteen min utes of a punishing battle with the l score to T against them, the New l Workers showed real championship calibre by coming from behind and 1 gathering seventeen points in the. fin al period, while more than 25,0oO | spectators -cheered themselves hoarse. While the score would tend to indi- cate an easy victory for the YItha- cans, the figures tell a, misleading l story Penn gave the unbeaten Cor nell team terrible scare down to the last chapter, Then Charlie Bar rett, the Cornell Captain. pulled the
 Ithacans through almost si7glehand- ] ed.
 The Itaacan leader scored one I touchdown in the final period, made
 another possible through tntercepting a forward pass in Pennsylvania terri tory and wound up his football career by kicking a, field goal from the 45- yard line. All told, he scored eigh- i teen of the points for Cornell. He
 broke up play after play and killed forward pass after forward pass in the last quarter.
 So, when the team goes down in i football history as the best ever 1 turned out by the Ithacans, Barrett lname will lead the list of the players who carried the Red and White to l its place in gridiron archives. With i out detracting from the other players 1 it we'll can be said Barrett was close 1 to being the Cornell team.
 Penn battered about by various
 teams during the season, rallied in the I-second period, after Cornell had gain 1 ed 2 to 0 lead early in the quarter

Although the football season is described at Yale as disastrous, satis- faction is felt that the Blue 8 whole had a good season in athletics inscribed in it's records under the heading of 1915. Yale lays claim to major sport championship in rowing, conceding to Cornell those in foot all and track athletics by reason of nn- beaten teams, and that in baseball to Harvard. In minor sports Yale feels entitled to titles in basketball. golf and gymnastics, and a share in that for swimming. Harvard has claim with others of honors in hockey and lacrosse, Annapolis takes first place in fencing, cross-country running goes to University of Maine, Prince ton has water polo, Harvard took the tennis matches, Dartmouth is divided with Harvard on hockey, Johns Hop kins with Harvard in lacrosse, and Columbia and University of PennsyI- xania, with Yale in swimming.
 The United States Military and Naval Academy football teams which meet in the annual service game in New York tomorrow, each held se- cret practice at the Polo grounds to- day. Both squads reached the scene of the twentieth contest well in ad- vance of the main contingents of mid dies and cadets. Following the prac- tice at the home of the Giants, the squads will return to their respective hotels to await the call to the gridiron OR the morrow The Army team con tinues to reign favorites over the Navy, the betting being to 4.
 One of the football coaches whose work for the season should not be overlooked, is Nelson Metcalf of Co., 1umbia- The New York co1legians took up the game after a lapse of ten years and despite the fact that he had only green material to work with, Metcalf handled the players so well that they won all five games on their schedule. It was not ex-
 pected that they would beat the strong Wesleyan team yesterday and

Rube Benton Always Manages to Get Berth
 With Tailend Outfit
Sporting News


 The name across~fhe breast of his blouse seems always to spell the same word for Pitcher Rube Benton-'zrai1- ender." Rube was with Cincinnati and the Reds were on the bottom the worst cellar champions according to John McGraw. that the National League has ever been afflicted with Manager Herzog handed Benton over to Pittsburgh-and- the Pirates i'm mediate1y touched bottom, though Benton won the only game he pitched for them.
 New York put up a, ho11er and the National League Board directors took Rube away from the Pirates and gave him to the gGiants-and the Giants lost little time in finding the cellar berth. And yet Benton is rated as one of the best left-handers in the game, his only fault is that he don't take his business of baseball enough. He is we'll thought of by McGraw and is Hkly to be a fix ture next year and if McGfaw's plan for reviving the Giants goes through, Rube may yet shake his jinx and for once be with winner.

 Fordham Team 33 to 0

New York, Nov. Displaying the sanne brand of football that downed the Army two weeks ago, Villanova scored it's fourth consecutive victory over .F'erdham in as many years at Fordhan Field yesterday. When the visitors had finished their rapid fire of open fieId< and nne-cruslaing tactics they led by a score of 33 to 0. Ford ham played a fine game in the first quarter but after Yule missed a field goal the superior weight of Villanova began to show itself.
 McGuskins who played one of the strongest games for the winners, strengthened his claim to the inter collegiate field goal kicking title by making two scores from the field, bringing his total for the year up to nine.

Michailowlxa in Tver Province. He felt such interest in war that he clipped off his hair and beard, personated his brother, and was taken as a soldier. When Mel nitsky got into battle at Augustowo, he felt a terrible fright and on the close Of the battle he confessed he was the priest Meinitsky and got his discharge. At Michailowka he found that the peas ants had taken another priest. He de- cided to -be prophet and he SC. up at Wilma. With luck or prescience he fore told several vital operations of the pres ent var. When Hindenhurg was on the Vistula and looked Ike taking Warsaw, he declared that Hndenburg wouli begin a retreat on a certain day; and on that day Hindenburg did retreat. A month later when everyone else belieJe that Jndenhurg would retreat right into Prus sia, Prophet Melnitsky issued thc Warn ing: "Antichrist William the Sc: nd IS preparing a second advance. He will be- gin by nerching up he Vistula. That happened few days later when H.lden- burS attacked and badly def..ted The grand cuke's right at Wloziawsk. This luck has gained Meinitsky great credit.

00o The shock of the war has awakened us to a realization of this fact; and the time is coming when We shall send our goods in our own ships and have our own banks.
 Such a change will benefit the United States In many ways outside the money involved. The big English, French, Ger man and Italian banks which are now working here are trade agencies of their respective countries They devote them- selves to developing that trade and are reservoirs of information for the Euro peans engaged in it. Said an American capitalist to me today:
 Tt is impossible to do business without an American bank. l am interested in contracts which involve millions of dol lars, and if my transactions pass through the English or German banks my com- petitcrs as to bids are kept posted IS to just what l am doing. Suppose I should make a deposit in the German bank of half million dollars with the idea of swinging some big contract? The fact that the money is there is told to the Germans who are in the same line of business, and they are apt to discover my plans and underbid me before l can bring my deal to a conclusion. It would be the same if I made my deposit in an

cred from that and it has been de- yeloping at dynamic speed up until a year or so ago, when the present stringency began. At the time the war broke out there were several hundred automobiles held in the custom house because the purchasers who had bought them from the United States and Eu- rope had not the ready money to pay the duties on them and could not get the credit. There were numerous fail- ures, amounting at times to several million dollars a week. and aggregat- ing in 1913 a total of about $5O,000,- 900 in gold. Building, which had be- gun on the most extravagant scale, stopped and public improvements amounting to many millions were halt ed for lack of money. Then came the war, and the more than 400 steam ships which are engaged in the carry ing trade of products to and from Rue- nos Aires were suspended. The banks were closed for 10 days, and a p1ora- torium arranged which postponed all payments for one month.
 The government then put through f1nan- cial legislation authorizing the issuance of S35O,OOO,000 of Argentine currency through a rediscount provision, and now business is on a fairly good basis with excellent prospects for the future. The great demand for wheat corn and meat from Europe has raised the prices, and the country will profit as the United States is doing from the extraordinary foreign business created by the troubles abroad. At present there are many un- employed shortly after the war began it was estimated that S0,000 were idle in Buenos Aires alone, and many more in other parts of the country. The govern- ment has since inaugurated certain pub lie works to give these men employment and it is doing all that it can to over come the financial troubles brought about by the war.
 To go about through Buenos Aires no one would suppose that the city and country were in the throes of hard times. The crowds on the streets are well dressed, and the automobiles and cabs fly in long streams through the city. The

War Has Not stopped Trade

from the Indianapolis Star.
 War has not paralyzed traffic between this country and Europe, nor has it in- terfered with business as much as some thought it would. There was disorgan- ization and confusion at the outset but commerce is beginning to get well back toward normal. It is reported by statis- ticians that 19,135,000 bushels of wheat left the ports of this country and Can ada for Europe during the two weeks ending September 3. That was a total of 7130000 bushels more than was shipped during the corresponding period last year and 11,10S, 900 bushels more than the total for the corresponding week two years ago. We do not need to worry about our food products get ting to tho belligerents. They will at- tend to that.
 ago that Chicago packing company had made a contract to ship 100000 pounds of meat day to France. That. too, will go forward So long as we arc able to get what we have to sell into the hands of those who need our pro- ducts and are willing to pay good prices, in cash, there is no ground for fear about business conditions in this country. The trouble at present is not to get ships to carry cargoes, but to get cash in advance for products. The international exchange machinery is crippled to such an extent that ship pers are unwilling to take chances on when they might get payment or what they might get in payment. lnsistence on cash is an obstacle in the way of maximum of the business we might do, but it insures safety.
 The war is interfering with the im- porting of some products, but the in- terference is not of first importance to the business of the country. There is nothing shut off that is indispensable to us. With our exports moving freely, we may expect business conditions to inn prove The situation in the cotton dis tricts is not normal as a result of the war, but even the south has products that are in demand at high prices and should prosper in spite of stagnation in the cotton market

English bank and practically the same with the French"
 The National City bank will not only prevent such publicity, but it will serve as a financial institution for pushing American trade. It Is collecting informa- ton as to the credits of the various com panies and merchants, and within a short time it will have the standing of every institution and dealer of note in eastern South America liable to do business with the United States. It will keep files of such credits in Buenos Aires and Rio Janeiro and it will have duplicate files in New York; so that 1t will serve the place that the Dunns and the Bradstreets do in the United States. It will also be on the outlook for openings for American capital, and will be an invaluable source of information for our importers and in- vestors.
 Few of our people at home have any idea of the enormous business that Europe is doing with the South Amer ican countries. The influx of capital is now stopped on account of the war. and the additional money of the near future must come from somewhere else than France, Germany and England. In the past the most of 1t has come from Great Britain and the total in vestments of that country in our sister continent have already run into the billions. I have before me the figures of Sir George Paish as to what Eng land has invested in South America. The amount in Argentina is $1,600,001. 900; in Brazil, $739,O00,0o0; in Chile, $S05,000 900; in Peru, about s171 ,000,000. and in the several other countries over S1S0,000, ,000 Bhis makes a total of about $3,000, 0,000,000, all told, and the most of the investments are paying big dividends. Within the past seven years the total investment has been: For Argentina, about $500, 900 900; for Bra gil, $440,000,000, and for Chile s137,0 900. In 1913 the English put out almost .$200, ,000,0 900 in Brazil and Argentina and they would be increasing such invest ments today if the war were not on.
 The above figures bulk large, but South America is big continent, and it is only at the beginning of it's de- velopment. The Argentine Republic has already an enormous business. 1t is a land of big cities big farms, big banks. and all sorts of big industries.
 There are only two cities in the United States larger than Buenos Aires. and these are New York and Chicago. There is one native bank here that las a capital of over $50000,0 ,000, and it's deposits are more than $100,0 ,000 in paper, or very close to $200,00O, ,000 in gold. l refer to the National Bank of Argentina, which has altogether 150 branches scattered here and there over the republic. In addition, there are many other native banks, and also the great foreign banking institutions which have their headquarters in Flu rope. The number of principal banks enumerated in the Argentine yearbook are about 60, and outside these are many others which do more or less business Nearly every Buenos Aires financial institution has it's branches in other cities, and all are more or less associated with the industrial and rail- road interests of the country
