DARTMOUTH EDGES.
viii Not Play Game With Penn State
in Springfield.


Convention Secretary Charles w
WinsIow of the local board of trade
announced recently that the Dart
mouth-Penn State game would not
be played in this city next fall Mr.
Winslow said that he had talked with
the managers of the Dartmouth and
Penn State teams in New York Mon
danny and that II. G. Pender graduate
manager of Dartmouth athletics stat
ed that as Dartmouth already had
four games slated away from home
it would not consider playing a game
with Penn State on the Eastern States
exposition grounds.
This announcement does not neces-
sarily mean that Dartmouth will not
be seen in more than one game on the
west-side field next season, Mr.. Wins
low stated. There are other games
which are big with Dartmouth. in
fact larger than the Penn State game,
which could probably be brought to
the city. The Dartmouth Penn game
is listed for Boston again this sea-
son That contest would be as hot
ath1etically in this city as the Dart1
mouth Brown game, though the ri
valry in the latter is much keener. 1t
is not yet decided fully whether or
not there shall be a second game on
the west-side field. The management
of the field is strong for quality rath-
er than quantity, yet it would not pass
up the chance to have two big games
on its field next fall rather than one

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ANOTHER SLUMP IN MARKET
On Gossip of Fresh Complications Be
tween United States and Germ any.

New York, Jan. 4-Rumors and re-
ports dealing with the peace situation
were credited with causing a reversal
in the stock market today which car
ried prices down 8 to 6 points. Board
room gossip revived reports of fresh
complications between the United
States and Germany, which adversely
affected the so-called peace stocks,
while dispatches from Washington
forecaSting a new move by this gov
eminent toward peace appeared to
have a similar effect on the war is
sues. These and other developments
created confusing cross currents in
the movement of prices, although it
was apparent that professional traders
were in control.
Unsettlement began soon after the
firm opening, in correct adVices from
Washington, giving rise to the i'm
preston that the federal reserve boa d
had issued another and more emphatic
warning against American participa-
ton in short term loans of foreign
origin. Losses were generally extend
ed during the intermediate period and
again in the final hour.
Intermittent rallies of one to two
points were more than balanced by
increased heaviness in United States
Steel and allied industrials, as well as
other potential issues, including cop
pers, the latter being under special
pressure in consequence of further
price concessions for the refined metal.
Mexicans were almost the sole eXcep-
lions to the downward trend making
substantial recoveries from midday
depression.
Rails were today more than ordinar-
lily responsive to the bearish attitude
of the trading element, standard issues
losing one to two points, with IL
for Canadian Pacific. The southern
division was firmest of that group at
temporary gains of one to two points.
Munitions and equipments, Leather
and sugar shares, motors and their
accessories, some OF which o.Dened
with material improvement, and ended
with net losses of variable proportions.
United States Steel again contributed
about SO per cent. to the days bust
ness at a final loss of points. Total
sales amounted to 1,425. 600 shares.
Monetary conditions had no bear
ing on the course of the stock mar
ket, call money retaining its recent
ease, with lower. quotations for time
accommodation and mercantile paper,
which was in scant supply.
A slight hardening of sterling and
a shading of marks and rIIbles were
the only features of the foreign ex-
change market.
Bonds were irregular, with further
in local fractions. Total
sales (par value) aggregated $5,470,
900.
U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

T. Nelson MetcaIf has taken. up the

track and field squad He has about
seventy-f1ve young men out and hopes

NEW YORK. Oct. 1s.-Fred Fulton
and Billy Afiske between them have
eliminated Carl Norris from serious

crown worn by Jess willard.
The Oklahoma fighter. in disrepute

up something scandalous.
Norris never was an invincfble scrap

more effectively h anyone else when
he stopped Carl in Springfield. No. but
Carl has been able to butt ard slam his
way through most OF the opposition.
hard enough at any rate to make him a
serious obstacle IN the paths Of most
men who aspired to a bout with Willard.
Fred Fulton made himself decidedly
unpopular in his New York meeting
with Norris when he fouled his huge
opponent and was disqualified. He
made it worse when he began to cry
after the bout that it was Morris who
did all the fouling and that he was
forced 70 foul tactics IN seIf-defense
His shouts went unheeded until he got
Morris into . ring in Ohio and proved
that Morris was q foul fighter. Fulton
won that fight and Immediately hoped
back into the spotlight.
NTiske's victory must be taken with
due celebration by the fight fans, for
it presases q return of the small heavy
weights to popular favor. Back in the
day OF Bob F-ttzsimmons and John l..
Sullivan u was commended that the ideal
size for q heavyweight was under 200
pounds. but the recent heavies have
been far over that mark, Little Jack
Dillon almost proved. and Billy Miske
seems TO have taken UP the cudgel.
Guaged by these most recent happen
ings II looks more and more as If Fred
Fulton would have a chance in a scrap
with Willard. And. then. it wouldn't
be l~aughabIe at all for Fulton If he were
to meet Miske, for the st. Paul demon
has proved his w%orthiness against the
big men. It would be stretching a point
to consider NIiske in a bout with Will

Miske to reach with any telling effect.
