New York oct. 1s.-Heavy selling and renewed efforts to bid up prices were simultaneously in evidence on the Stock Exchange today, X few stocks, chiefly among the motor-ca shares, advanced , to points while other stocks of the industrial group were yielding ground.

N. F. A. put up game nght Satur- l day afternoon on the campus against 1 the heavier and more experienced Hartford High eleven, losing to them l by the score of 40 to O. The spectators nnurmured dire prophecies as they l watched the two teams running | through signals before the game and and when the contest was ended they all agreed that the Norwich boys put l up a fine game of fooball and that con- l sidering the advantages which were | with Hartford the score should have 1 been double what it was. Hartford travelled at top speed all the time in order to score. This was evidenced in the third period when they put in some of the subs, who were held 1 scoreless by McKay's colts. Hence they put the regulars again back in the final stanza and these worthy gentle men managed to put it across twice. The scoring was done in the first second and fourth periods, two touch down in each of these periods. There was scoring in the third canto- Quarterback Foley was responsible for nearly everything that happened He displayed some of the finest broken field running seen on the campus in many a day. Once he pulled off 45 yard run through the entire Academy team
 His running mates in the backfeld made several good gains through the line but this was not remarkable as all they had to do was to "shiInmie" through the gaping holes prepared by their burly linesmen. Johnnie Young at left end was the shining light for N. F. A. He made a flock of fine tackles. appearing to be in nearly every play He made it possible for N. F. A. to hold Hartford scoreless in the third episode by recovering a tumble on the Academy % yeard line
 Capt. SuplicBi played in his usual fine style as did Sayles and Jess Will COX.
 Several forward passes were tried by Hartford, but only two were completed, Foley making q trick catch of one of them. Norwich failed to work any, in several tries
 The Academy backf1eld had chance to display anything owing to the porousness of their line. It was physically impossible for the light N. P. A. team to hold back their huge antagonists and the backs were nailed almost soon as the ball reached their hands.
 It was an upphiIl struggle all the way through and the Norwich boys are deserving of praise for their gameness-
 Penalties were frequent, both sides offending equally.
 The N. F. A. cheer 1ends gave their voices a try-out under the leadership of P. McNeely, anG though d little froggy at first they finished strong.
 About 300 attended the game.

The game started off we'll for the local team but in the sec ond inning the "Jinx'' marched in and took possession of the field and the Hartford team pushed two men across thk plate. With three men on the pill lows in the second Lenhom hit a long fly to center and Bangs came in af- ter it and in fielding the ball fell down but held his hands in the air while he was biting the dust.' The crowd thought everything was all rosy for the locals as this would have retired the side but Umpire Mccarthy evil dently thought differently and called the hitter safe. During the mixup two of the Polls tramped across the marker with the winning runs. Sew eral times during the game the All were unable to hit in the pinches. Fast fielding by the Poii infield and outfield kept the locals from winning as they hit (enhoff all over the lot. In the final frame the spirits of the local rooiers were boosted as CominS reached first and on a three sack clout introduced by WoodWorth, came across the sack The Polls looked wor- ried but were safe as the two men following.
