New York. April g. Brad streets tomorrow will say:
 This weeks reports, trade and industrial, are the best not ed for some time past. being Tn some respects the most favorable received since the spring of 1914 Sentiment is bolstered by the smart uplift in stock market prices: better weather has super induced improvement in general lines of retail trade; foreign or ders for machinery, tools, auto mobiles and numerous other manufactures make for capacity work in the enterprises thus benefited; operations on domes- tic account are steadily improv- ing; idle workman are less num- erous; money is easy; weekly bank clearings are more encour- aging; collections are a shade better in some centers and win ter wheat crop conditions are good-as good, all things con- sidered, as a year ago at this date.
 The agricultural as disting- uished from the industrial South still is depressed as regards cur rent trade, but other sections of the country, including the East, manifest signs of improv, ment, though it must be concedei that betterment is slow.
 In the soft coal mining reg ions there is some evidence of improvement, but operations are slow and in the lumber business depression continues. Building has begun to prove, but as yet his tendency is most manifest in he eastern half of the country.
 The arrival of growing we, ather has put a more favorable lace upon crop reports. Winter wheat has been benefited west of the Mississippi river by warm CT weather, but needs moisture east of the river. The entire crop is late in startin0. Better in the South has allowed of plow-

Owing to destruction by fire last fall ot the Pampa depot, ab- solutely definate figures are not available here as to actual of wheat cars shipped last year, trustworthy information says that Pampa loaded out last year probably one million bushels of wheat.
 With the Pampa region wheat acreage is somewhat in excess of th5t of last year and the supera- buadant m isture in the ground indicating an increased yield per acre. d conservative estimate

SCRUBS OVERWHELMED
BY HARVARD VARSITY

Cambridge. Mass. Sept. 2a--The
Harvard varsity football team was
turned loose against the scrubs this
afternoon and for the frst time was
allowed to extend itself. The result
was that four touchdowns were scored
by the first string men who also
negotiated two goals from the field.
The scrubs took the third varsity,
second varsity. and then the regulars
in turns. but were literally ripped to
pieces. and rs yesterday they set the
scrubs back whenever the varsity
coaches elected to try out the regulars
on defense.
The varsity's field goals today both
were made by Whitney from inside
the twenty-hve-yard line. while the
regulars scored their first touchdown
of the year by means OF a forward
pass and one made by Boles
Two Of the varsity's ,ouchdowns
came az the result OF blocked kicks,
one by Coolidge and the other by
Souci, while another Of the several
additional touchdowns was made by
Woodruff on clever run through the
line.

gave the Union Theological Seminary
victory over William and Mary yes

score was to 0.
The game was lively affair and
every inch of ground gained by both
teams was contested by two elevens.
The Williamsburg gridironists put up
great fight against the Ginter Park
ministers, but when ii came to crossing
the Seminary line the collegians lacked
the necessary punch to send the oval
across the much coveted goal line.
On numerous occasions the theolo-
gical students marched the ball up the
field. but when goal hove in sight the
William and Mary changes held like
stonewall and the line Just could not
be penetrated. However, the old for
ward pass from Captain Hughes trusty
hand proved the Williamsburgers'
downfall. II was like the one worked

TWO YALE STARS HAVE
PASSED EXAMINATIONS

New Haven. Conn. Sept 2s.--Yale
football hopes leaped skyward tonight
when IL was announced by the coaches
that they believed Higginbotham and
Black have passed the examinations
they took yesterday to remove schol-
astic handicaps.. Higginbotham created
sensation at end for the University
of Texas three years ago and last
year starred for Yale until ne injured
his ankle. Black was counted upon
to play guard position this year. a post
he held with credit on the freshman
team last season.
An hour OF individual drill In tack
ling the dummy and kicking made up
this mornings practice, while scrim-
mage was ordered this afternoon. In
twenty minutes OF hard work the
scrubs scored shut down and hold
their opponents scoreless. A blocked
punt by Gait, was recovered BY Sayre
on the fortyyard lire. From there
the scrubs advanced to the varsity ten
yard line where Legore dashes around

CHESTER AeeIE TEAM
Cadet Triumph BY Count OF
12 to D.

Although outweighed by about
fifteen pounds to the man. the Bene-
dictine College eleven succeeded in
getting a ~ to verdict over the
Chester Agricultural aggregation yes
terday afternoon on the latter's
grounds in their Initial conflict Of the
season. The game was one of the
most interesting affairs ever seen at
Chester. and the fight put up by both
elevens was good from start to finish.
Despite uhe weight of the Chester
feld outfit the big boys succeeded in
making few gains through the Cadet
line, the Richmond boys holding like
a stone wall at times. The Chester
boys had one good chance for a touch
down. when they advanced the ball
to the four-yard line on the fourth
down. IT was then that the Green ana
White boys showed just what they
could do by holding the big fellows.
and they succeeded in advancing it
only to the two-yard line. where the
ball went over.
Benedictine made most OF its gains
straight through the Chester line. The
first touchdown came in the first
quarter, when The Cadets took the
ball In the middle Of the field and ad-
vanced 1t up the field and over the
chalk line. The last one came In the
final minute Of play
For the Cadets the work OF Hafiin
and SAVIOUR in the backfield deserves
special mention. while fs1e work of the
line was excellent. Tyler was the most
consistent ground-gainer for the
Chesterfieldians.

Getting Ready for
Blues Saturday

Coach Frank Dobson's Richmond
College Spiders engaged in a lively
scrimmage yesterday afternoon with
the scrubs at the Westhampton stad-
fum. and the form displayed was
somewhat of an Improvement over
their previous work this season Coach
Dohson Is not yet satisfied with his
team. and he is working hard to get
1t in fairly good condition for the
contest Saturday at Broad Street
Park with the Light Infantry Blues.
Announcement to the effect that the
Spiders will be numbered this season
was well received by followers of the
winter pastime. This adds interest
to the game, inasmuch as every one
who has a scorecard will be able tn
tell just who is running with the ball.
Randolph Macon announced yester-
day that the Yellow Jackets will also
number their players this year, and
II Is understood that all of the other
teams In the Eastern Virginia Inter
collegiate Association will do like
wise. These games always attract
large crowds here, and the football
enthusiasts In Richmond would well
come the numbering OF all the
players.
