 The demand for transportations was so general as to give rise to the impression that developments of the highest importance affecting those properties may soon issue from the office of Director General Hines.
 Outstanding features of the railroad list included Reading, Southern Pa cific, Atlantic Coast and Louisville and Nashville at gains of to points. Among secondary shares Texas and Pacific St. Paul. Baltimore and Ohio, Pere Marquette, Missouri Pacific, Wesern Pacific and Missouri. Kansas and Texas were prominent. scoring extreme gains of one to ? 1-2 points.

The Qauke.s lead the east in the number of points scored, over 200 in four games. but if Lafayette's showing against Princeton can be taken as a criterion, Pennsy1 vania is not likely to run up 50 points, which is the Red and Blue average to date.
