FINANCIAL AND CONNER CIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
High Grade Issues Were Active in the
Closing Hour.

New York, Dec. A sudden &C
cession of strength in the final half
hour was the marked feature of todays
short session on the stock exchange.
Prior to that period, the list showed
extreme apathy, dealings in the first
hour being the smallest total of any
day for many weeks. The belated in
quiry was SO general and embraced
such a variety of high grade issues as
to suggest something more potent than
mere short covering. Total sales
amounted to $4,000 shares.
Specialties constituted the sole fea-
ture of the first hour, some of those
issues recording sensational gains,
while others were reactionary. Gen
eral Motors made the new maximum of
492 IL on it's advance of % 1-2, with
gains of 2 to almost 10 points in other
war and semi-war shares. Montana
Power, Tobaccos and secondary indus
trials and equipments.
.Coppers were a point or more above
yesterday in anticipation of favorable
dividend action during the coming
week. United States Steel was lethar-
gic at the outset, but hardened at the
end. Bethlehem Steel opened down 10
points, but closed at 470, a loss of 5
points. United Fruit was weak
throughout. declining IL to LA, and
South Porto Rico Sugar lost at 1852.
The bank statement furnished dis
tlnct surprise, an estimated large cash
gain being turned into a contraction of
almost 100000. In general, however,
the statement failed to reflect to any
degree the changes or shifts of cur
rency incidental to the expiration of
November
The feature of the market for for
eign exchange was decline in remit
tances to Rome and other Italian
points to the lowest rates ever record
ed. Demand Tires were quoted at 6.56,
which roughly represents a discount
of 80 per cent. Marks were a trifie
steadier, but Austrian exchange hung
at the recent low point.
Railroad returns of the day for Oc-
tober included the Great Northern
line, with a net increase of $749, 900,
and the $780, a Canadian Pacific sub
sidiary, a gain of $346,000. Several
minor southern and southwestern lines
showed decided gains in gross and net.

PRINCETON AND RUTGERS
FOOTBALL PIONEERS
Two Institutions Started Game in 1869,
Yale in 1872, Harvard in 1874.

With AZ years of intercollegiate foot

tracing the development of the game
and the progress made by the big uni
versities and colleges in the pigslzin

The record shows, however. that
Pennsylvania. which did not take up
football until 1878. has played the

that date. OF these games 2O5 have
been won, 104 lost and 16 tied. Yale
is second, having played 1874 games
since 1872, OF. which 345 have been

ward teams have participated in 369
games since 1874, of which 81 have
been won. IS lost and 10 tied.
Princeton, although the first to play
football, has figured in less games
than either Yale, Harvard or Penn

367 games played, 312 won, Il lost and

ALL-LEAGUERS TOO FAST FOR YALE
Eastern Connecticut Team Played Rings Around Blue Men
Score to 0-New Haveners Display Poor Team Work
Game Disappointment to Many.

Melted nothing, but in short order Fin
layson scored.
Both teams were very much hamper
ed by the wet and slippery condition
of the field, and several instances OF
falls were witnessed.
In a perfect pass from Calvert, Cap
tain Finlayson scored the second goal

With the ball on Yale territory most

the other end of the field for the first
time in the game, but Hughie Ffnlay-
son took the heart out of the New
Haveners when he kicked it back in
mid field for about so yards, including
the roll.
WeyI Saves Scores.
Pressing their attack harder, the
leaguers were suppressed by brilliant
work of the Yale goal tender, Weyl,
who saved two scores, and Captain
Plow figured strong in the rescue
work. The half was called with the
ball in mid-field with merely exchange
of kicks.

boys came back strong and attacked
the All-Leaguers' goal with much
oppressiveness. Their kicks were hard
and true, but H. Finlaysons eye was
better, and he responded each time to
colors sending the ball back into mid
field. Disorganized playing and poor
passing took the aggressiveness out Of
the collegians. which paved the way
to Greenhalgh scoring on pretty pass
from Underwood, who had wiggled in
and out, eluding the opposing backs.
Palsier, who had already figured in
several long runs, added another net
ting about 40 yards, and with the
Greenhalgh Underwood combination
scored again.
Seitz took the ball for a distance of
40 yards, but before he had a chance
to pass he was fouIed by Palsier Yale

COLLEGE MEN AGREE
ON ELIGIBILITY RULES.
Conference Held Behind Closed Doors
at Yale Club.

Announcement was made Saturday
niSht following the second days ses-
sion of representatives of Yale, Har-
ward and Princeton, in the Yale club
at New York, that a complete under
standing had been reached in regard
to a new set of rules covering athle-
tics at these three universities drawn
up in the hope of preventing a recur-
renee of a scandal similar to that at
Yale during the last season.
The session, like that of the previous
day, was held in close secrecy and
those present declined to give any init
nation of what new rules were agreed
upon until after they shall have been
submitted to the athletic association
of each of the three colleges and &C
cepted or rejected.
1t was stated however, that the old
eligibility rules had been amended and
new rules formulated in a manner that
will prevent such a miX-up as that
which barred LIE Gore and four others
from sports at Yale this fall.
Among those at the meeting were
Professor Corwin, Henry Hobson F.
E. Allen, George Case, John Field,
George F. Day and John Fitzpatrick, of
Yale; Dean Howard McLanahan, Dean
H. B. Pine, Knox Taylor, Edward Hen
~ and w. E. Green of Princeton, and
Dean Briggs. F. w. Moore, Barrett
Wendell, Jr., and George P. Gardiner,
Jr., of Harvard.

YALE SOCCER STARS
DEFEAT COLUMBIA.
New York College Practically EIim-
mated from the Race.

Columbia was practically eliminated
from the race for the soccer champion
ship at Yale field, New Haven, Satur-
day afternoon when Yale won by a
score of l to Q. Columbia had previ-
ously lost games to Princeton and
HaverfOrd. The home team showed a
return to form Saturday and played
excellent soccer throughout the con-
test.
Capt H. H. Shanholt of Columbia
was the star of the game from every
point of view, and had it not been for
his work his team would have been de-
feated by a much more decisive score
Yale men carried the ball into Column
bias territory repeatedly, but it was
almost impossible for them to elude
Shanholt, whose individual defensive
play was sufficient to stop the Yale
rusheS.
Only once did he allow the Yale at
tack to slip by him. That was at the
close of first half of play. when Cap
tain Tucker, on a pass from Elwood,
executed a well judged kick and scored
the only Yale goal. The kick was made
from within the penalty zone. Booth
Tucker and Lee were the backbone of
the Yale team. Their defensive play
was excellent, and the Columbia for
wards were never able TO pass them,
although Captain ShanhOlt made sew
eral valiant attempts to lead his men
down the field for a score. The con-
test was played in a biting cold wind,
which made it rather difficult to exc
cute fast team plays.
The lineup follows:
YALE l. COLUMBIA 0.

SOCCER GAMES ABROAD.
Chelsea Wins From Hotspurs Before
Large Crowd-Scottish League.

London, Eng, Saturday, Dec, A
number of surprising results were
again made in the English league Soc
Ger games Saturday. The feature was
the defeat of Burnley the present
leader of the northern section table.
by Rochdale. Stoke put up a splendid
show at Preston b ybeating North End
to 2. and jumping into second place
with only one point behind Burnley.
Leeds City got into it's real stride by
beating Derby County, to 1, and now
is in fifth place.
The star attraction of the London
games was played at Stamford Bridge
between the great rivals, Chelsea and
Tottenham Hotspur, before a large
crowd. Chelsea won easily. Another
fine game was played at Highbury
between the Arsenal and Fulham, re-
sulting in an exciting win for the
former, to 1.
The Scottish league games Saturday
resulted in many upsets, the most
startling being the Hearts defeat on
their own ground by Aberdeen. The
Rangers also lost to Morton away
from home, causing them to slip to
fourth place. The Celtics are still first
in the table, with 4 points, and with
Morton, Hearts and the Rangers all
within two points of them, the race
for first position is getting exciting.

The All-Eastern Connecticut soccer
football team outplayed a team from
Yale on the Academy campus in every
department Saturday afternoon. and
the score was held down through the
slippery condition of the field, which
hindered considerably in bringing out
the fine and scientific points of the
game. When the referee blew the final
whistle the All-Leaguers had scored
four goals while the collegians were
unable to score, and only two or three
times were they able to pierce the vic
tors strong defense, which was
smooth Taftville- Plainf1eld combina-
ton.
The Yale team was big disappoint-
ment in the eyes of many Englishmen
very poor team work, and their pass
ing, which was seldom, was way in
advance Of the runner. AS for indi-
vtdIal playing, Captain Plow of the
Yale team was the best of that combi-
nation.
Probably the neatest little exhibition
of the science of John Bulls pastime
was pulled off by Calvert of Williams
vile. who had the ball with two in
pursuit down in the right corner of
the field, toed the ball in and Quit. back
and forth, deceiving the two husky
Yalers, who were baff1ed by the quick
ness and perfect control Calvert dis
played. This performance netted a
score, as Calvert passed to A. Finlay-
son, who scored the initial point of the
game with a terrific drive that the
goal tender had no show of touching.
FinIayson Scored First Two Goals.
In the first few minutes Of the game
Captain Aleck sent the sphere through
for two scores before the Yale boys
were awake to the opposition that
they were up against.

fend the east goal On the kickoff the

Tense and received a corner kick which

EVERETT HIGH HOLDS
DETROIT TO TIE.
East VS.. West Gridiron Battle Resulted
in No Score.

The Detroit Central High school
and the high school eleven of Everett,
Mass, played a scoreless tie at the
Detroit baseball park Saturday. Mag
nifcent last ditch playing by the Wis
ltors kept them from being scored on.
More than once the heavy Detroiters
had the ball close to Everett's goal,
but lacked the punch to carry it
across.
The field, particularly a portion on
the baseball infield, was muddy. Both
teams played the old style game. Ev-
erett did not attempt a forward pass,
but Detroit tried several with fair sue
cess in the last period. A few moments
before the game ended Hendrian of
Central missed a field goal from the

BASEBALL SEEMS DOMED AS
INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORT.
Big Nine Refuses to Sanction Sum-
mer Baseball.

Members of the big nine faculty
committee Saturday sounded the death
knell of baseball as an intercollegiate
sport in the conference. In addition
to refusing to sanction summer base
ball playing by their athletes, the
committee voted to refer to each in
stitution a resolution providing for
the abolition of the diamond sport en-
tirely, except for interclass contests.
As most of the delegates voted under
instructions, it is presumed that the
colleges will support their resolution
and that Intercollegiate baseball will
be given up before the spring season
starts An objection by only one uni
versity, however, will force a recon-
sideration of the resolution by the
committee, and unless a special meet
ing of the committee is called for
the reconsideration before it's regular
June meeting the single objection
would have the effect to allowing one
the alignment of the delegates on
more baseball season.
According to conference custom,
the question was not given out. Sec
rotary 7. F. Moran, Purdue repre-
sentative said that the vote on the
abolition of the intercollegiate base
ball was Z to 2. and for the retention
of the summer baseball rule, to 8.
Advocates of the anti-base<all reso-
luton argued that the abolition of
the game would do away with IS per
cent. of eligibility questions. They
declared that baseball has become so
commercialized that its retention as
a college sport was not desirable.
That college baseball teams are
rarely wholly amateur was another
point they brought up.
There were nc applications for
membership in the conference. 1t
had been reported that Nebraska,
Notre Dame and the Michigan aggies
would seek admission.
Reports that there had been tech
meal violations of the rule against
football practice before Sept. 20 were
received. A committee was appointed
to investigate. A committee to in
vestigate the physical effects of

Sentiment was not found strong in
favor Of the establishment of soccer

sport and no action was taken on
them. The committee voted to re-
quire one day of open football prac-
tice a week, but declined to limit
secret practice to two days.
