The inquiry for motor issues at gross advances of two two six points was predicted on the re- ported purchase by the government of large amounts of cars and trucks to augment the proposed air fleet.
 Less anxiety was felt respecting tax ation of excess war profits and en- forcement of lower prices for iron, steel, coal and similar commodities. Money rates also relaxed materially, although much of the days require ments were again met at the per cent. rate. Time rates for the shorter maturities a-So moved more in favor of borrowers.

tests with other colleges. The develop ment of teams, under such circum-
 stances, must begin from the very
 bottom. Almost all of the prominent athletes have gone away from Cam bridge and are in the training camps, the aviation squads, the naval reserve, the ambulance corps, or some other branch of service in preparation for, or participation in, the war: few, if any, of them will return to college in the autumn. and their places on the foot ball eleven and the other teams must be filed by new and inexperienced men.
 such a condition of things would not be whey disadVantageous for it might tend to change the atmosphere in which intercollegiate athletics have been fostered. There has been no peace in the minds of many enthusi- asts without victory. This is the pro- fessional rather than the amater at titrde tova ards competitive sport.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS IN
 FALL DOUBTFUL
Owing to Existing 4condtions-Most Most Prominent Athletes Have En- listed

While college athletics are expected to be resumed at a majority of the Eastern universities next autumn it is generally conceded that prevailing conditions will be vastly different from those governing sport at these insti- tutions in recent years. To some ex- tent new regulations will be necessary and a number of close followers of the varsity athletics are of the opinion that the time is opportune for certain reforms in both the spirit and play of the game.
 This belief has been voiced in sev- eral localities and in some cases where small hope of a general revival of in tercollesiate sport is held out for the next few months. An editorial in the Harvard Alumni Bulletin touches up- on this point in a manner which may be saSl to be typical of other leading institutions in the east. Tn part 1t Is as follows:
 Although optimistic articles about the. early renewal of intercollegiate athletics have been printed lately, there are no indica tions that condi- tions at Harvard next fall will be es- sentially different from those which now exist.
 Much will depend, of course. on the amount of attention which the nder- graduates wish to give to military training: the intensive work now car ried on by the Reserve Officers Train ing corps takes practically the whole time of all it's members, and such schedule next year will make it inn possible for the students to partici- pate in intercollegiate athletics, or to be even in competition which might be confined to the members Of the univer- sity.
 If however, military training is re- duced next year to a minimum the in terest in athletics may revive suff- ciently to bring about informal con
