saved that organization from a loss.
Percy Houghton has assumed his
football duties with the Harvard

signed last Saturday, calls for $4,000
salary, half of which is to come from
the athletic association and a similar
amount from a fund raised by the
graduates.

affection was due to coming in con-

Battle Against Quakers

State College. Pa. Oct. 1S.-Equipped
with Bob Folwelrs pet formations,
Penn States second eleven gained
more ground against the regulars yes
terday than has been gained by all
other opponents this season. Three
touchdowns were scored against Cap
tain Clark's team in a twenty-minute
scrimmage. No other attack has been
able to penetrate States line so sue
cessfully.
End runs were not so effective as
off-taekle and center crashes. but
Edgerton and Jones, substitute half
backs, got away from the varsity ends
with alarming regularity, and each
registered a touchdown.
Practice Penn Plays
Penn style of attack on the center
of the line brought CONSERVATION
among the varsity linemen. Head
Coach Harlow personally looked after
the offense of the second eleven and
he was in the uncomfortable position
of successfully ottacking his own
teams defense.
Unless to-days scrimmage develops
n stronger varsity defense as the result
of Harlow's blackboard instruction.
States line is due for a big afternoon s
work next Saturday on Franklin Field.
Every man in the squad is in tip-top
shape for the struggle with Pennsyl-
vania. State is expecting to meet
far different team than was defeated
by Swarthmore.

Carlisle. Pa, Oct 1S.-The Carlisle

Lebanon Valley College reserves under
the charge of Coach Guyer, 90 to 6.
Carlisle scored six points in the first
period, seven in the second and seven
in the third quarter. The visitors made
touchdown in the third. The game
was quietly planned and few except the
enthusiastic student body here. headed
by its band, saw the game. Amazing
versatility was shown by the redskins,
who are virtually all new men. Bril-
liant flashes of open field running
characterized the work of Herman,
Captain Mayes, Miles and Leroy. The
team as q whole is rather light.

er advanced the money; so the profit
! to the German firm was, naturally
large. In this contest between the
| unsophisticated economists of Russia
and the shrewdness of German trad
ers, the latter always had the best of
! it.
Thus the commercial position of
Germany in Russia before the war
was very strong, while that of Eng
land and other countries was un-

are now making up for lost time by
eparing efficiently to enter the vast
trade fields Of Russia as soon as the
war ends. Japan, too, must pursue
this policy II she is to take full adj
vantage of her new relations with
that country. The organization Of a
Sino-Japanese bank is useful and
necessary, as is contended, but the
establishment Of a good Russo-Jap-
anese bank Is still more necessary
to afford facilities for trade between
the two countries. AS Russian ban
kers hold this opinion as strongly as
do the Japanese, there should be no
delay in having such financial in
stitutions.s
After the war is over Russia will
no doubt take steps to extend her
trade in Asia, especially in Asiatic
Russia, and she will require much
machinery that Japan can very we'll
furnish II we are ready to undertake
orders. Already Russia is beginning
to look to Japan for capital; and she
will also look to US for goods, espe-
cially machinery of all kinds. Even
now we are supplying Russia with
all kinds of electric apparatus and
equipment. Japan may not only find
sphere Of consumption for her i'm
mense industrial output caused by the
war. but she may even hope to find

THE most attractive feature OF
the new compact with Russia to
many Japanese capitalists is the right
1t gives Japan to navigation on the
Sungari river, which has hitherto
been limited to Chinese and Russian
ships. The right of navigation on this
river will enable Japan to bring out
the products Of Manchuria to the
worlds markets more conveniently
and cheaply, as we'll as create closer
trade relations with Russia and
China. 1t Is to be hoped that the

Where you have made eternal homo.
And set no sign Your epitaphs

While through the green ways wan

Beside her love slow gathering
White, starry-hearted Maytime
Above your lowly leveled tombs;
And then below the spotted sky

The ground Is heaved and broken so.
And why the grasses darker grow
And droop and trail like wounded

Yea, Time, the grand old harvester.

We call to you again, again;
The rush and rumble Of the car
Comes back in answer. Deep and

In foremost battle. quite aside.
