GILMAN LOST TO HARVARD FOOTBALL
Crmson's Gdron Captain Forced to Quit Owing Studies -Enwrisht and Boles Declared Ineligible May be Elected Captain.

Cambridge, Mass, March liar yards football squad for next season received a heavy blow today when three Of its strongest candidates, Captain-elect J. A. Gilman of Homo lulu. a guard; Thomas H. Enwright, of Fall River and w. J. Boles, of Boston, both backfield stars, were asked by the college administrative board to with draw from college because of failure to pass the mid-year examinations.
 Under the faculty rules this means that Gilman and Boles, even though they are able to return to college, will not be allowed to represent liar in scholarship difficulties before.
 Enwright, whose preparatory school record as @ powerful back and great drop kicker had led experts to pick him as successor of Brtckley and Mahan, still has a chance for rein summer school at SQuam Lake, N. H., for a required amount of study and passes examination in September he will be eligible to play.
 The loss of Boles hits the baseball squad as well as the edeven for be- sides being a fast halfback he was one of the varsity pitchers. EnwTight al- so has gained a reputation on the diamond.
 Gilman's withdrawal, especially leaves the Crimson football situation in an uncertain condition, for Harvard now is without a captain or coach, as Coach Haughton's contract has ex- pired and he has not yet announced his intentions for the fall. Gilman's playing last year made him a popular choice for the al-American football eleven.
 Richard Harte, of Philadelphia, who played end on the eleven last season, was second choice for captain at the meeting of varsity team members which elected Gilman in December. Harte was the first Harvard man to score a touchdown last fall against Yale in the Stadium, when he picked up a muffed punt and dashed across the line. It was generally believed tonight that he would be elected to succeed Gilman.
 Harte is a candidate for the base ball team and has already begun training as a catcher of Eddie Ma hans pitching. He was a member ot the varsity tennis team last fall.

NEGATIVE INFORMATION
 NOT WITHOUT VALUE
May Save Oil Men Expenditure of Many Thousands of Dollars in Fruit less Drilling.

'Forewarned, forearmed" applies to oil-well drilling as much as to weather predictions. As the cost of putting down well is great drilling should preferably not be undertaken in a new region until a careful geologic exami- nation of the surface has been made and the most favorable area deter mined. The geOlogist can not tell from a study of the surface alone whether or not oil occurs beneath the surface, but he can designate areas in which it Is extremely unlikely that oil may occur and other areas in which the structure is favorable to the accu- mutation of oil. The United States Geological Survey has just published a report on the Guyana Valley. Cal, which lies aobut 100 miles nothwest of Los Angeles, between the very produc- tive Sunset oil field on the northeast and the Santa Maria field on the southwest. The report, which is based on field work done in 1914, des- cribeS the geologic formations and structure in detail. points out the pos sible sources of oil and the conditions unfayorable to its accumulation, and gives all the evidence for the conclu- sion that the chance for the develop ment of a commercially successful oil field in Guyana Valley is poor. It is possible that small pools may be found in a few areas, and these areas are pointed out. Two wildcat wells had been drilled before the field was exam ined by the Survey geologist w. A
 English, who has written the report.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MODERATELY ACTIVE. Trading Was Largely Devoted to War
 Shares and SpeciaIties.

New York, March 7.-Trading dur ing today's moderately active market was again largely devoted to war shares and sundry specialues, while standard stocks denoted occasional ir- regularity. The attention of the f1nan- cial community continued to center around Washington, the debates over the armed ship issue being followed with absorbing interest.
 Additional gains were recorded in the forenoon under the lead of Cruel ble Steel and Baldwin Locomotive, which once more superseded United States Steel in point of activity. In fact, United States Steel was under persistent pressure, though yielding only fractionally.
 ciably, likewise Mercantile Marine preferred and American Woolen Strength of woolen shares was direct ly traceable to the publication of that company's annual report, showing an enormous increase in net profits over 1914.
 Oils were under marked restraint California Petroleum common and preferred losing 1-2 and g 1-2, re- spectively, on the unfavorabl annual statement of the previous day. Texas Company also manifested some heavi- ness on uncontirmed rumors of new financing.
 Other backward features included United Fruit, U. s. Industrial Alcohol Motors and Fertilizers. Sugars also were disposed to relinquish some o1 their gains of the preceding session The movement in rails was somewhat mixed, Baltimore and Ohio, Fries Southern Railway preferred and Sea- board Air Line preferred evincing marked firmness. while Louisville anC Nashville, Colorado and Southern first preferred and Missouri, Kansas ant Texas common and preferred were heavy.
 A general hardening of prices, ex. cept in petrOleumS, occurred in the | later dealings, the rise deriving its l impetus from the news that the house | of representatives, on several tes | votes, had supported the administra. | ton by a substantial majority. Indi. | cations that the soft coal operator! and miners were approaching an annie. | able settlement was another favorable
 factor. Total sales amounted to 558,. | 900 shares.
 | Weakness of marks was the chic l feature of the exchange market, bu most forms of remittance, incIudin&
 sterling, were inclined to shade. Fur
 ther moderate selling of Americans fo | London was reported.
 | Investment bonds were mainly irreg 1 ular but Anglo French fives were de
 cidedly firm. Total sales, par value
 aggregated $3,520,O00.

WILL. EASTERN LEAGUE
 DITCH TWO CLUBS?
Baseball Men Do Not Look Upon 10-
 club Circuit Favorably.

Strange things have happened in New England baseball. Juggling that would make the artists at Barnum & Baileys cAIcus green with envy. But there is great possibility that there is one more grand finale to be staged before the season ends
 It has been the experience of leagues in the west which have start ed with a ten-club circuit that this would not work. Jim -O'Rourke, pres ident of the Eastern association, now dead and decently sent to the Happy Hunting Ground of baseball leagues, said as soon as a ten-club circuit was proposed that it would ont work. This has been a fact in the west It may be that the Eastern association has seen the writing on the wall and means to drop two of the clubs that now belong as other leagues in the west have done.
 That the newly organized Eastern league with its ten cities in the fold is prepared for such a move is brought out by w. P. Peters in the Lawrence Tribune. He says:
 One of the most important articles in the constitution of the Eastern league is to the effect that seven magnates have the right to vote to drop two clubs if at any time it is considered feasible to do so. The purpose of this article is to pave the way for an eight-club oi--~--it next year. It was Hrt aTa has never been believed chat the magma. e. iousiy considered 1O-club circuit. but there was no alternative when the report of the merger committee was made. The report pointed out that the cir cult should consist of 10 clubs as sug- gested and proposed by the merger ites for obvious reasons. It may not be necessary to drop two clubs. The

Congress has more important mat ters on Its hands just now. but local Washington thinks few things are as weighty as the proposed lengthening of the working hours of government employees in the capital city.

It provides that government employees shall work an hour longer each day without additional compen- sation- Most of them now work seven hours a day.
