NEW YORK, Feb. Robustness on the stock exchange today lacked the breadth and activity of recent sessions until the final hour when rails again guided the list to higher levels at e1- treme gains of to 3 points.
 The better tone of railway shares followed publication of excerpts of the railway bill. now being completed by congress. Wall Street was not espe- cially impressed, however, by that pro vision of the proposed measure which stipulated that wages are to remain fixed during the period of government compensation.
 Buying of transportations was again most effective in the numerous secondary or low priced issues whose speculative possibilities are being talk en into account under the return of management to private ownership.
 Much Of the early irregularity was occasioned by the course of high priced industrials and specialties, not ably Crucible Steel and motors. Cru. cible rose and fell within point radi- us. with net loss of z54, while Mot ores was equally irregular, but made up its loss.

Annapolis. Md. Dec. 6.-Assuming the correctness of published reports that the University of Pennsylvania will decline to enter into a home-and- home series of football games with the Naval Academy on the basis arr ragged between the Navy and Prince ton, the athletic authorities of the academy wil look for another strong opponent.

 Pennsylvania State, Yale and the University of Pittsburgh have been seriously considered and the negotia- tions will probably be opened with ono of them at once. Harvard and Onto State have also been mentioned but they are regarded as being too far from Annapolis.
 The Naval Academy wishes next season to play all of its opponents of this year excepting University of South Carolina. This list includes North Carolina State, Lafayette, Buck nell. Western Reserve and George. town, the Army game crowning the season as usual.

JACOBSON LEADS
 INTERNAT. LEAGUE
Local Boy Has Average of .N4
 With Willow

The name of Merwin Jacobson, of this city, Baltimore outfielder. leads all the rest in the batting averages of the New International league for the 1920 season just issued. With the great figure of .404 for 154 games. no one else is near him. Frank Brewer, the Reading slugger, gave him a merry chase for two-thirds of the season, then went to the Wash ington Senators, and the rest of the field never threatened.
 Jacobson has been sought by the White Sox, Yankees, and in fact by all the big league teams, but Jack Dunn won't sell his batting star. He was once the property of the Giants, being traded to Chicago in 1916 with Larry Doyle and Herbert Hunter for Heine Zimmerman.
 In addition to being the best hit ter Jacobson was the New Interna- tiona's leading run getter, scoring 161 times, Otis Lawry and Fritz Maisel, teammates, were second and third in this regard. with 155 and 145 respectively.
 Jacobson made 235 hits, including thirty-five doubles. sixteen triples and seven home runs. Brewer and Kon- nick of Reading were the Babe Ruths of the Ints.. getting twenty-two four baggers. Jack Bentley of Baltimore had twenty.
