What appears to be worlds record
has. been established in the past two
seasons by Bill FIncher star booter
of the Georgia Tech football team,
who has kicked sixty five goals out
or possible sdxty-eiEht.
Georgia Techs star backfield, COM

showing the southern school has

And there's no doubt that they de-

serve it. But Fincher's performances
seem to have put him in a class by
himself and he deserves applause as
the greatest kicking star OF the past
season.
Coach Heisman has not only
brought together one OF the greatest
teams of the past few seasons. but
he seems to have discovered and de-
veloped in Fincher one of the real
stars Of the kicking game. In 1916
Fincher missed only one goal in
seventeen trys and in this past sea-
son he kicked forty-nine goals after
touchdown, missing only two.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, January 5-Likeiihood OF
moves for peace parley had domi-
mating bearish influence today on the
wheat market The evident urgency of
foreign demand for supplies tended,
however, to prevent radical setbacks in
price. All other factors except the
chance of peace negotiations and the
outlook for continued European buying
were virtually ignored Opening prices,
which ranged from ] cent decline to "
advance. with May at 1.s3A to 1.s4 and
July at $50 to l.5012. were followed by
slight general hardening of values
and then a descent all around to well
below yesterdays finish.
Oats traders took their cue from the
wheat pit rather than from the action OF
corn Commission houses led the selling.
Provisions rose with hogs. Peace talk
helped also to encourage buyers.

Scantiness of fresh wheat buying on
the part of exporters led afterward to
more pronounced weakness. Chances
of reselling by foreigners in the event
of actual peace had a noticeably de-
pressing effect. The close was unset
tied IL to 3Iz net lower, with May at
1SO3z to Isl. and July at 1.4SB to
1.4Sts.
Although the corn market later
showed stubborn, resistance to selling
pressure gains were virtually wiped
out. The close was steady at n off to
haA up, as compared with yesterdays
final figures.

WALL STREET MARKET
SLOW, PRICES LOWER
Continued Peace Talk, Stop-Loss
Orders and Absence of Public
Buying Bring Declines.
Steel Common OF Nearly Points.
Munition Shares in Slump-Busi-
ness Falls Off Materially.

NEW YORK. January 5.-wall street
is suffering from uncertainty, from
peace talk. which, while there may
be nothing but talk to it, has caused
uneasiness and further shrinkage
in values.
1t is hardly probable that the decision
of the House of Representatives to
hold a hearing on peace note leaks has
any effect on the market. 1t is just
case of nerves and the belief that
values are not on the peace basis
as yet.
Then, too there is no clamoring pub
lie clientele ready to take hold OF the
market for wild advance on the
slightest show of strength, nor is this
same public so vitality interested that
their elimination can turn the list
downward with fierce surging. The
public has been too seriously crippled
to be a factor in the immediate flu
ture. and its absence has left the mar
ket largely in the hands of profess
