ton when the big games roll around.
With Penn State, Dartmouth, Pitt,
Columbia and Cornell coming in rapid
succession, Heisman will be in need Of
capable backfeld substitutes, but he will
have little to worry about If the quartet
named above continues its present pace.
Added to those mentioned are Fritz
Straus and Joe Biben, both of whom
have shown possibilities of future great
ness. With this sextet and the regu-
lar backs again in shape, Heisman will
be well fortified behind the line.
In the line, Tips, who took all that
came his way for one hour and twenty
minutes, yesterday afternoon, with
smile, is coming along fast. He suffered
now that he is in good shape again will
bear watching. Copeland. Sweeney.
Rugh and Calder are all showing i'm
provement that augurs we'll for the fu.
ture.
with this array of substitutes, Coach
Heisman will have one Of his big prob
lens lifted from his shoulders. From now
on he will build for offensive power, az
the critics generally concede that his
line is one always TO be reckoned with
Their stubborn defense against Lafay-
cite last week, when the goal line was
threatened so numerously, won them
praise from critics and coaches alike.
Once the offense gets moving, as it most
surely will, Pennsylvania will have n
team to be feared for the remainder OF
the season.
The only drawback at present is due
TO the fact that three Of the important
cogs in the varsity machine are suffering
from injuries.
Wray and Thomas Rest
Rex Wray and Carl Thomas we're on
the field yesterday, but did not don uni :
forms. Wray is suffering from an in
fccted toe that makes it impossible for
him to wear a gridiron shoe. Yesterday
he hobbled around in a tennis shoe. but
hopes by tomorrow to be able to don the
spiked shoe. Thomas injured his elbow
in the Lafayette game, and, although he
removed the sling yesterday. it Is hardly
| likely that he will get into Saturday. s
contest. The injury is. virtually the
same as the one suffered by Bud Hopper
| though not so serious.

Railroad Stocks
Enjoy Greatest
Boom i'm Months
Squirt i'm Afternoon Carries
Prices of Transportation
Issues Up Nearly 3 Points
on the Average

Stimulated by the announcement
that the House and Senate conferees
had agreed on the provisions of the
railroad bill and that the measure
would be reported out Of conference
tomorrow, railroad shares yesterday
enjoyed the greatest boom witnessed
in that section of the market in months.
The movement started late in the after
noon, when Texas Pacific scared under
the impetus Of sudden and apparent
ly urgent demand, and within a very
few minutes the whole railroad group
was advancing rapidly. For a time the
rails presented a spectacle comparable
with the movement of industrials at
the peak of the boom last November.
Prices climbed so rapidly that orders
'at the market" were in many cases
executed point or two above the price
reported on the ticker when the orders
were placed. The average gain in
twenty representative railroad stocks,
all made in about half hour Of trad
ing, was just short Of 3 points, and in
individual issues the. gains ran up as
high as 6A points, which was the net
advance of Chesapeake & Ohio. South
ern Pacific, which was up Az, and
Union Pacific, up s points, were es-
pecially prominent in the advance once
the movement got under way. At the
high point of the day Union Pacific
low price on Monday.
Buying of the rails in the beginning
apparently came from banking quar-
ters, in which decided change in
sentiment regarding the outlook for
the carriers was in evidence. But
before the movement had gone very far
there was a rush of speculative buying
for the turn. Some short covering
was also reported, but it was reia-
lively unimportant in volume. The
short interest in the rails, brokers as
time during the recent break. Rail-
road stocks have undergone a tre-
mendous liquidation, thousands Of hold
ers having disposed of them owing
to the uncertainty as to the outcome
of government control.
An interesting feature Of the market
was that the interest in the ii\austrials
died out as soon as the upward move
ment Of the rails began. Transactions
in industrials were probably lighter
during the last half hour of trading
than in any similar period in many
weeks, and the trend was downward.
During the earlier trading strength
Of the oil shares was the outstanding
feature. The statement of oil experts
that there was danger of a serious
shortage of petroleum helped this sec
tion Of the list. Other industrials
moved erratically, with price changes
unimportant except in the high priced
speculative issues. Crucible Steel was
weak and got we'll under 200 again,
while General Motors. ter selling at
the low prices of the year, rallied
sharply and closed with net gain of 8
points.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18
Floating Supply Small

Buying Of railroad stocks, since the
sharp break Of week ago which car
rried the whole group to the lowest level
in over twenty years, has been much
better than the selling, according to ex-
pert market observers. Evidently
enough investors had confidence in the
future of the carriers to take a chance
particularly with prices at such low
levels, and the buying from this quar-
ter resulted in reducing the floating
supply, which was never large even
during the recent liquidation. Natur-
ally any important expansion in the
demand would be expected to put price
up with rush. This happened yester-
day. With the feeling growing around
the financial district that the compro-
mise railroad bill, which it was report
cd would come out Of conference to-
day, will be favorable to the roads in
the long run, q substantial increase in
buying came into the market. Prices
began to march ahead and as the word
went the rounds of the district that
real move" was on in the rails the
buying power was augmented consid-
erably.. At that it did not take a whole
lot of buying to push the rails ahead.
Chesapeake & Ohio, for example,
moved up 6A points on orders agere-
eating not more than 5000 shares.
The turnover in Union Pacific, which
advanced points, was only 11,40O
shares. 1t took only 1000 shares to
put st. Paul common up nearly 4
points.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-18
Money and the Market

Discussing the money situation, a
leading broker says: "A careful study
of the returns of the New York Clear
ing House institutions and of the local
branch of the Federal Reserve, coupled
with the statement of the entire Fed
eral Reserve system, indicates no
reason to look for a removal in any de-
partment Of the ban upon speculative
expansion. 1t is not to be inferred
that Wall Street is to be put through a
further severe purging process; on the
other hand, the banking authority
seems to feel that the Stock Exchange
has nobly recognized its responsibility
and curtailed its borrowings so that no
special restrictive measures, aimed
directly at it, will be necessary so long
as the call for credit does not greatly
exceed the present total There is no
reason why, with favorable news in the
railroad labor situation and with re-
spect to the bill for railroad govern
ment, the money situation should
stand In the way of further better
iment of prices. If there is no great
increase in the volume of business the
average of prices might be advanced
few points without any serious en-
croachment upon the credit situation.
for the short interest is still of un
usual proportions"

Rails to the Front

Wall Street is given to.quick shifts
in sentiment. Changes in its mental
attitude are oftentimes Kaleidoscope
Bulls turn bears and bears turn bulls
with amazing rapidity at times. Ac-
customed as the financial community
is to such rapidfre changes in feeling
the reversal in form in the market for
railroad stocks was 80 sudden and SO
unexpected yesterday that it fairly took
the breath away. Up until yesterday
afternoon railroad stocks were classed
among the "undesirables," either for
investment or speculation. A few
houses continued to insist that the rails
were good things to buy because they
had few friends, but in the main the
feeling has been right along that the
rails we're in too uncertain a position
because Of doubt about their future to
be good things to buy" So the ag-
gressive buying that developed in the
rails in the afternoon came out of a
clear sky.
