FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS BROAD
Trading Was Moderate, With Trend
 of Prices Toward Higher Levels.

New York, Jan. 18.-Assurances of the success of the new British loan and the reduction in the British bank rate from to 5 1-2 per cent, the first change in six months, were among the sentimental factors which influenced today's movement of prices towards higher levels.
 Trading was only moderate but broader and with a more confident undertone than any previous session of the week. There was a steauy de- mand for Standard shares, notably rails, Canadian Pacific making up much of its recent decline, with gains of one to two points in other Pacifcs, Reading, St. Paul, Erie and Long Is- land.
 High grade industrials were respon- stve to trade advices, which offered more encouragement. An early break Of 20 points in Bethlehem Steel com
 mon. with ten for the preferred, was soon rectffed. though both issues closed at net declines. United States Steel and kindred shares were ? to 3 points higher at their best. with 2 for Gulf States Steel. The sr.orvs were again impelled to cover in the motor General Motors and Studebaker, while subsidiary stocks, including the rub Der group. were firm to strong on re- ports of a gigantic consolidation.
 Shippings recovered from yester- days reversa1s, Marine preferred mak- ing a gross gain of 1-8 with IS for the common and 1-S for Allan tic, Gulf and West Indies. Current gossip suggests early developments in marines, presumably in connection with deferred dividends.
 Strength of coppers and zinc issues had it's basis in circumstantial state ments of a renewal of negotiations for large foreign supplies. The same causes were made to serve the leather and sugar shares, but oils were little more than firm. despite additional ad- vances in crude and refined products.
 Gas shares and Western Union fea- tured the strong utilities, with such isolated. specialties as Pittsburgh Coal, National Enamelling and Cast Iron Pipe. Total sales amounted to 620,000 shares.
 RubIes and fires fell under yester- days low records, with further weak ness in rates on Berlin and Vienna. Sterling and francs were firm.
 Slight concessions were registered by almost all international bonds, but domestic railway issues were steady. Total sales (par value) aggregated $5. .4s0, 900.
 D. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Harvard Dean in His Annual Report Discussed Expenditures for Ath- letics.

He referred to recent Yale University report on the subject of expenditures for athletics enunciating the theory which he said comments itself to nearly everybody.
 This theory, if adopted,'' he stated, 'tdoes away with the present coaching system and with much of the present extravaganza. The fact that it does away also with much of the present income. and that the present income takes care of fields, buildings and equipments, as well as coaches, can not be overlooked, nor should it be forgotten, as 1t sometimes is, that the cost of athletics is borne by athletics and not by the university treasury.

PREPARING FOR THE
 WILLARD-FULToN BOUT
Jack curIey Will Try to Promote the
 Fight in New York.

Negotiations for the perpetration of the annual heavyweight championship battle are under way. The principals, of course, are to be Jess Willard and Frederick Fulton, the ponderous but precocious plasterer, of Rochester, Minn.
 Jack Curley. the gentleman who pro- noted some wrestling matches of mal- odorous memory and who arranged for the Willard-Johnson fight, plans to be the promoter. Jack, who owns 10 per cent. interest in Willard, would like to stage the championship bout himself, thereby becoming double profit sharer in the event.
 The affair has progressed as far as the site hunting part. Madison Square Garden is practically closed to the rites of the devotees of Fistiana. There seems to be no other place big enough to stage affair of such importance, outside of the Grand Central station, where the bout between Fred Wenc1, chairman of the boxing commission, and Harry Pollok was staged. This site is unavailable, for obvious req sons.
 It begins to look as though the bout would not be staged until the weather permits out of door fights. There is no inclosed space which would permit the seating of the teeming thousands who would gather to see the two man mountains in action But the match HE O1 LHS cLlet perpetrators OI lH0 annual heavyweight contest will be arranged soon.
 Fulton is tentatively matched to box Frank Moran at Havana. Moran is about the last nearly formidable per son that Fulton will tackle. By the way, it is not so certain that Fulton will tackle him. Up to the time of signing for the Willard bout Fulton will indulge in some light ten round exercise with carefully selected oppo- nents, such as Joe Cox, who was dis posed of by the little lumberjack, Moha
 Fulton is so certain that he will be able to win over Willard that he will be willing to take a very short end. Tom Jones will see to it that the end

 To unpaid coaches. also, are open the same opportunities of graft and of disguised professionalism that are open to players. Something, too, may be said for our highly organized and intense athletic sport as a great dis cipfinary and educational force which may transform a boy into a man. Yet these considerations, though they com plicate the problem, provide no ade- quate reason for ignoring it; and the paragraphs devoted to it in the Yale report deserve the active and grateful consideration of every committee on athletics and of every college man.

THE BERKELEY SEXTETTE

The Berkeley sextette, which is to
appear at the high school auditorium
Wednesday, Nov. %, is a company
which has come to the front as the
foremost exponent of an entirely diff
'ferently type of orchestra program
than is usually heard. There have
always been two program theories in
concert work, one that program Of
music that was popular must be
composed of cheap music, and the
other theory that a program of good
music must be more or less uninter-
esting but necessary to uphold the
dignity Of all concerned. Mr.. Louis
Runner, the well-known critic and
coach who organized this company,
has been studying the concert or
chestra problem for twelve years,
and the Berkeley sextette is the re-
suit of all of these years Of study
and effort. In giving the descrip-
tive term "entertainment-orchestra"
to this company we include orches-
ira as meaning the standard orches-
ira type of program of recent years.

they have the rare faculty of making
classical music popular. One OF the
