TRACK MATERIAL UNCERTAIN.
Dartmouth Hopes for Fast Mile Relay
 Team, Though.

Dartmouth's chances for a leading track team are uncertain. The mile relay is the most promising event Riley, .Lagay, Gilmofe, Trenholm and Worthington are the best candidates. The dearth of half milers makes the situation in the two mile relay more difficult. Tucker, though really a miier, can be used in this event and by splitting the one mile aggregation a satisfactory combination may be pro- duced
 The present sophomore class has failed to come up to the standard in producing material With the possi- ble exception of Miner in the sprints and A. F. Johnson in the pole vault little indication has been given of ad- ditions to the varsity from the 1918 class. Dartmouth's best showing should he made in the broad jump with Worthingten. last years intercollegiate champion. and Nordell, who was of form last year, but who won the event two years ago. In the high jump, however, practically no promising ma terial has been unearthed. In the weight events the loss of Whitney will be felt, though Spears will undoubted- ly rank among the highest in the shot put Pudrith also should show up well in the hammer throw
 The outlook in the sprints is only fair. Stillman has always worked well in practice, but has been kept out of
 
 and last year by torn ligament Miner was the best man on last years freshman team Worthington is a sprinter, but his work in the broad jump may keep him out of the rum ming. In the hurdles the teams chances are high Trenholm, who was out last year because of appendicitis. should prove point winner. and Gra- dy should also be a valuable man. Shea, the hurdler on last years freshman team, may also develop Into varsity material
 In the middle distances there is good material in the quarter mile and lack of 1t in the half. In the mile and two mile the chances are fair, for much good material should be available from the cross country squad. Tucker in the mile and Thompson in the two mile are the ID" men in these events. Prospects for a good freshman team are the best for a number of seasons, to judge from the number of prepara- tory school stars now in college. A relay team will be picked to go with the varsity to the B. A. A. meet, and if 1t shows up we'll 1t may be sent to the Penn relay carnival later.

 Interest in the war shares showed steady diminution and even venture some spectators seemed to realize the futility of an artificial or forced movement in those shares at this time. Manipulation was responsible for few new records in closely held issues. South Porto Rico Sugar rose 8 to 164, and Cuban-American Sugar gained 4 at TIT, but both fell sharply before the close. U. s. Industrial AL cohol at the new maximum of 129 34 on its 4 3-4 point rise and Montana Power with its record price of 72 Ii met the same fate.
 Temporary gains of from 3 to 8 points were shown in the early deal as Studebaker, Sears -Roebuck, Texas Company, New York Air Brake and American Coal Products, with more moderate advances for erstwhile fa- vorites like Crucible Steel. Lac11awan- na Steel and Baldwin Locomotive. American Locomotive was heavy on rumors of legal action against the management and American Can pre- ferred reflected disappointment at the failure of the directors to reduce ac- crued dividends, while Mercantile Ma rine preferred lost 3-4 points at b3 3-4.

Erie also suffered at the hands of the bears, losing a substantial fraction. The closing was heavy and feverishly ac- tive. Total sales amounted to 472,000 shares.

tackles hard and low, while on the off, fensive he is a hard man to stop when he starts to blow hole for his backs to follow through. May is @hght but aggressive player. Nine times out of ten he gets the jump on his opponent and smears play after play before they have started. On the offensive his low charging opened many a fine lane for his backs.
 At center there can be no doubt, Jackson of Norwich stands out head and shoulders above the rest. His first few games were not so brilliant, but in the important games and dur ing the latter part of the season he played an excellent game. His pass ing was accurate, while on defense he was as solid as a stone wall. He and Wilcox and May would make a center of any line extremely hard to pene- trate.
 The choice for quarterback was difficult, as there were many good quarterbacks -on the numerous teams but elimination narrowed the choice down to Shea of Bulkeley and J. Hull of N. F. A. On offensive Shea runs his plays off quicker, but does not show the judgment of his opponent in selecting them. Again Hull is a means of scoring on his drop kicking. proved himself a dependable man. Not once throughout the season did he miss an open field tackle, In his last game his work was especially notable, as he prevented three scores by his tackling. would choose him for the position.
 At half, W. Stanley of Norwich could hold his own with any back in the entire state His running was speedy and this combined with his ability to run in a broken field made him hard man to stop. While he is

Chelsea appears to have a strangle hold on first place in the London section. and to date has only lost one game.
 While Celtic and Hearts are even so far as points are concerned in the Scottish, league, each having 22, the Celts have much the better goal av- craze, and are, therefore, entitled to lead. The race. however, is still an open one, as Rangers and Morton are pressing closely, with 20 points each. The standing of the teams, including the games played on Saturday are as follows:

light, he hits the line low and with great force. He is also a consistent punter, averaging 35 yards for the season. He is also fierce tackler, tackling harder than any high school player I ever saw.
 As his mate, I would choose Crock CT of Vocational school. He is also a very fast man and has great ability to dodge. He does not hit the line as hard as Stanley, but is his equal in running the ends
 In running over the field of full backs only two deserve mention, Nav son of Stonington and Ricketts of Norwich, and of these two I would

pick Mawson for the place. He is a heavier and more seasoned played and a much better defensive back. He was the whole secondary defense of the Stonington team. He also hits the line low and is a very hard man to pull down.
 No doubt there win be a large num- Der who will not agree with this line up but I have seen every one of the high school teams of Eastern Con- necticut play and feel that I have chosen a team that is composed of the best of these teams.
