the best forward passing game seen
 Army and Navy men who attribute
 their recent football slumps to their
 limited practice methods, for last year at West Virginia, the team was never
 on the field until five In November
 darkness cut the practice down to 40
 and then 30 minutes, yet this was
 the best eleven West Virginia ever
 had and by the end of the season as
 good a team as l ever coached.
 Every coach has pet plans for prac tice Systenn-that is, knowing what is to be done and doing it each day on
 the field-is the main thing. Stress should be laid on fundamentals. No squad can neglect them day. The problem is to make these exercises in teresting rather than irksome. Dummy tackling, dummy interference and ma chine charging are to teach form only. Some coaches believe in hard, heavy dummies and as result we are con- stantly reading of injuries from this practice.
 It is better to pack and constantly repack a dummy with excelsior to keep it light and soft and to hang it over a pit filled with several feet of sawdust Skilled acrobats learn their stunts over water free from danger to life and limb. Football candidates are
 most apt to improve their play under somewhat similar conditions.
 Scrimmage practice should never be given a player over twice weekly.
 Then he can go at it with a vim and
 not get injured. The weary, worn player gets hurt Ard a playey gets
 mentally weary if overworked at rough stuff.
 Each day the backs should practice kciking of all kinds, catching punts
 and passes and making the latter. Ends cannot have too much work at i1-nR fnr r1,1 at snapping the ball. Linemen should be worked daily at charging on the snap of the ball and at getting out of their positions into the interference. Interference should be hammered into
 every membr of the squad for the team without it is like a house built
 on the sands. Tackling is so import ant that it must be practiced daily. | When a player goes wrong in his tackling his usefulness is at an end | Odd schemes have been hit on to en- force it's impo-Lnace. OiNe coach had tackling a dummy. He was under orders to keep it up until he could tackle. Ever afterward he tackled. Catching punts is so important,
 many games being lost by fumbles, that it should be practiced daily and 1 Just before each game. The kicking and catching practice before the start of each game is simply to find out if | the backs are handling the punts sat llsfactorily-those who do catch them
 on that particular day.
 There are two ways of catching a | punt One is to take it as ball play CT catches baseball. Put the arms 1 out, catch it on the hands and lead it without stop, ino the stomach. The
 other is to take it on the body and pin it fast thereto with the hands. ! Copyrighted 1916, by Sol Metzger)

New York Oct. 23.-Developments over the week end were deemed suf- ficiently favorable by the speculative element to bring about further appre- ciable advances in today's active mar ket with new high records for Unit ed States Steel and other favorites which have contributed so extensively to the almost steady rise of the past seven weeks. %1t'5 ' --- --@-N -S-

 Bethlehem Steel attracted attention by it's unusual activity, about 1900 shares being traded in up to 5S5, an adance of 35 points. COppers, par ticularly Anaconda, Utah and Inspira- ton, helped to swell the huge total, with Republic Iron and Steel, Crucible Steel Marines, fertilizers and petrol cum, and Texas Company gaining over five points.

ing for a strong comeback when the Green faces Princeton.
 Limiting It's Attack
 That the Green does possess power was indicated in it's one-sided victory over Lebanon Valley, which team one week before held West Point 3 to 0, and last Saturday, held the powerful Lehfgh team 8 to 8.
 It was evident at Haverhill that Dartmouth was limiting it's attack to a very few plays in order that watch ing Princeton scouts would have little to carry to Tigertown. This, topped with fumbling and weird forward passing, very much told the story Of Dartmouth's side of the contest, and many observers of the game were of the opinion that the Green was .ex- hf'biting but a fraction of its real strength. and that against Princeton it would prove a veritable whirlwind.
 The Yale Washington and Jefferson game, which brings the twice victor1- ous Pennsylvania outfit against a Yale team thfrsting fer the gore of the con- querors of its forerunners, should be won by Yale. as the Presidents" are represented by a team much below the standards of recent Washington and Jefferson elevens. and one which already has tasted defeat at the hands of Marietta College.
 The Pittsburgh 4Pennsylvan con test, despite Pittsburgh's recent vic- tory over Syracuse and Pennsylvania's S recent loss to Swarthmore, looms as an even battle.
 The scores of the leading eastern college elevens follows:

Never has a football season devei- oped so many unexpected happenings in the course of its first five weeks. Of the more prominent elevens of the East only Yale. Princeton, Cornell, Pittsburg, Brown, Colgate and West Point have escaped their early season opponents without sustaining a de- feat, and of these seven all but Cor nell and Brown have been scored up- on. And as such elevens as Harvard, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania and Syra- cuSe already have met reverSa1S, yet still demand consideration as really powerful aggregatfons. the positions of the still undefeated teams seem far from secure.
 This week may mark the undoing of the majority of the latter group, for in almost every case the opponents they will face on Saturday are far more powerful than those already faced and defeated. Because of this condition, Saturday looms as re- it concerns football and its following.
 The undefeated Cornell eleven, champion team of last fall, comes to Cambridge this week, to face liar yard, so that Boston and vicinity are assured of one of the banner con- tests of the season and one on which the 1916 football title may turn.
 Oartmourn Goes To Frlnceeoh'
 The undefeated Princeton array, which has it's eyes upon the cham pionship, will entertain Dartmouth at the Palmer Memorial Stadium. The undefeated Yale aggregation will meet Washington and Jefferson at New Haven, team which last year sent the Blue to defeat and which is con- fident of duplicating it's showing on Saturday.
 The undefeated Pittsburg eleven will have as it's guests on that day the promising Pennsylvania team, which. with the prestige of it's win from Penn State and it's desire to wipe out a 1915 Pittsburg trouncing, will offer handsful of trouble to Glen Warmers array. The undefeated Brown team is scheduled to meet the Rutgers eleven with it's Sanford-cre ated multiple kick" and other startl- ing plays.
 Thus of the seven still undefeated aggregations of the east. five are as sured the strongest opposition. while continuation of upsets might prove

 Cornell Confident of Victory
 Countrywide interest will centre in the Cornell Harvard game at the Stadium. sOne year ago the Ithacan eleven stepped into the football cham pionship of the east by defeating the Crimson, and this year, with veterans in the majority of positions and with seasoned men in the remainder. the Sharpe coached aggregation will come confident of another such victory.
 Coach Haughton and his assistants have been engaged in preparing for this battle for the last two weeks and gradually the men of Harvard have been transformed from inefficient units to an efficient machine. The Harvard team will be outpunted in this game. if the work of the respec- tive booters can be judged by their early season performances, but liar yard should prove much stronger at the wing positions. which may prove an element capable of offsetting Cor nelPs kicking advantage. All in all, the game has the advance appearance of one of the greatest contests of the season.
 Princeton Rules Favorite
 
 As for the annual Dartmouth Prince ton contest. Princeton will rule the favorite and probably by a wide mar gin, owing to the setback sustained by the Green at Haverhill. but there are number of hunch followers who would not be greatly surprised at a Dartmouth victory.
 Princeton as it has been playing possesses a weightier aggregation, with a superior punter and an eXcep- tionally good drop kicker. but in it's one difficult game of the season was pressed to the very limit by Tufts, and won out only through a wind swept goal from Tufts 45-yard line, So the team as yet has not placed it self definitely in the exclusive class.
 Hunch players who have followed Dartmouth teams of recent years have found that Green teams have eXper- fenced just one slump per season. Twice this slump has occurred in Dartmouth Princeton games, and once in a Dartmouth-Car game They figure that the slump of 1916 came in the Georgetown game and are look

PLAYERS MAY BE FINED
 FOR POST SEASON GAMES.
Fraternity Will Protest Against Right of Organized Baseball to Impose the Fines.

New York Oct. 23.-The reports from ! American League headquarters that the members of the Boston Red Sox. worlds champions, ana other players enrolled in the league may be fined for participating in so-called barnstorm- ing games after the close of the regu- lar season, has brought forth a vigor-
 ous protest from the Baseball Players Fraternity.
 | President David L. Fultz stated here today that the fraternity cannot rec ognize the right of organized baseball | to fine it's members for such an aIleg- | ed offense and further pointed out that | players were acting well within their | legal rights in taking part in such 1 games. President F'ultz's statement follows:
 | "The fraternity cannot recognize the right of organized baseball to fine | players for taking part in gafes after | the season is over and after their con- 1 tracts have expired: The players have, | Of course, no right to represent any | club without the consent of it's own | CT, but as long as they trade upon their
 own personal regulations they are
 clearly within their rights. l '"The relation of player to magnate | is purely contractual and gives no | basis for the principle of paternalism which the magnates now attempt to ] inject into it. Tn addition, representa-
 ives of organized baseball have for years conducted post--eason trips in which they shared the receipts, and it 1 is difficult for the players to see the distinction between these trips and the ones the magnates now seek to abol- I ish.
 | q am not discussing the advisability | of pennant winners transforming aft
 CT the season, as that is an entirely different matter. I am simply com
 menting upon their right to do so if they so desire.
 If the national commission thinks the alleged offense of such importance and the act would be a wise and digni fled one, they have every right to withhold the worlds series embuems | them is concerned that is an entire- from the Red Sox, but as far as fining I ly different matter"
