wer-Your letter shows that you

Bt sure to seek independent advice,
upon which YOU can rely. Many people
are attracted by high yields without
giving consideration to the security Of

mon stocks you must realize that such
issues reflect more than any others
the constantly occurring changes in
business. Dividends vary according
TO these changes as general rule.
Therefore, for those who are dependent
upon income only good bonds and

1t IS difficult to give proper rating to

railroad and corporation bonds. we are
guided by the value of the property
covered and by the earnings. We know
OF no present reason why these three
issues are not safe Of course, in the
purchase of foreign bonds, consideration
should be given to possible political
complications. We do not imply that
any are likely to occur in these three
countries. In each case principal and
interest are payable in New York, the
Argentines in sterling at the fixed rate
OF S4.S65 to the pound, the Tokios in
sterling at the current rates. The Ar

Army Star Gains ON Boynton
In Race for Scoring Larlrels
French Displaces kaw, of
Cornell, as Runner-Up
to Williams Captain

The results OF Saturdays games on
the gridirons in the East caused some
upheavals in the statistics Of records
OF teams and players for the season to
date. Penn State, which held the un-
disputed lead last week, now shares
that honor with Harvard, each team
having won seven games and played
one tie. Lehigh thwarted Hugo Bez-
dek's powerful machine in its quest
for clean slate.
Penn State also was forced to re-
linquisl, its leadership in point scor-
ing, for the Army, by rolling Up 80
points against Bowdin, while the Penn
sylvanias could only gather Z
against Lehigh, jumped into first place
with q total Of 3l5. Even Williams
leaped ahead Of Penn State, showing
an aggregate Of 305 against States 259.
Wesleyan was dropped from the elite
circle by losing to Williams, and now
only six teams in this section OF the
country have not tasted defeat. Prince
ton has completed its season without q
black mark, while the others have games
to play that may upset their hopes
for. an inviolate record. OF the six
leaders five have played one tie game,
Boston College being the lone team to
escape even a draw.
Only 13 points have been
scored against Boston College in five
games. Princeton's opponents have
tailed 90 points in seven games, while
Harvard has % points chalked against
it in eight games.
French, the Army fullback, made the
greatest gain on Benny Boynton, who
stlll tops the individual scorers with
total OF 137 points. French displaced
Kaw, Of Cornell, as the runner-up, with
81 points Even Mayer, teammate,
passed Kaw, who is now fourth. Boyn-
ton has compiled twenty-one touch
downs and eleven goals from touch
down.
Following are the team record. and
the individual scoring TO date:

ALI Eli Players
I'm Good Condition
After Hard Game

Special Correspondence to The Tribune
NEW HAVEN, Nov. 14.-Although
1900 Yale Undergraduates and the SUBJ
stitutc football players have returned
here from Princeton, the varsity eleven
left New York City this afternoon for
Gedney Farms, near White Plains, to
remain till Tuesday morning.
No injuries whatever were received
in yesterdays game, except a slight
muscle bruise by Acosta, who was re-
placed by E. Quaile. Acosta will play
Saturday, but Quaile may return to the
switched to his old position at center,
which, although unlikely, is a posi-
bility now discussed.
AIdrich is regarded as the most
likely candidate for captain next year.
He was a substitute halfback last sea-
son and is the baseball shortstop. His
home is in Fall River. Tom Dickens,
tn, veteran tackle, has recovered from
an injured knee and will be used
against Harvard. Although Albert Into
played remarkably well against Stanley
Keck. of Princeton, yesterday, he will
probably be replaced by Dickens, Wal
ter, who played throughout the Prince
ton game, getting the other tackle
berth
The coaches are undecided about the
backtield against Harvard at present
favoring the use of Murphy at quarter
Kempton back to catch punts. Aldrich
and Frank Kelley will positively be
started as two of the backfeld. Yale
men believe that the eleven will make
a more brilliant showing against Har-
ward than against the Tigers.

Harvard Able to Use Strongest
Ine-Up in Contest With Yale
Quarterback and Left Half
Only Positions i'm Doubt;
Players in. Good Shape
From Special oorrosponden.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 14-Har-
ward will be able TO call on the very
strongest members Of the football
squad for next Saturdays game with
Yale. The first string players are all
in good shape and capable of going the
distance in the bowl.
The indications are that the Grim
son eleven will line up as follows: Left
end, Kancr; left tackle, Sedgwick; left
guard, Tolbert; center, Havemeyer:
right guard, Woods; right tackle, Hub
bard; right end, CASTOR; quarterback
Fitzgerald or Buell.; left haIfback,
Owen; right halfback, Fits or Church.
III; fullback, Captain Horwecn.
The disputed positions are quarter
back and right half. Buell. was rated
as third string quarterback the day of
| the Princeton game, but jumped John
son on account OF his drop kicking and
got in against the Tigers. His work
IN the sensational finish of the game
was well done. Fitzgerald played the
first half pursuing the customary con-
servative Harvard game.
Churchill did not live up to expecta-
tions against Princeton, while Fits in
the short time he played looked good
Harvard needs q kicker against Yale,
and Fits is showing up just now in
good form, therefore he is the more
likely to start, being also twenty five
pounds lighter than Churchill.
The work Of Havemcycr at center has
been one of the most noticeable feat
ures in Harvard's play this fall His
passing has been unusually steady, his
defensive game we'll dom and he had
the pleasure Of seeing both Red Weav-
er, Center's All-American snapperback,
and Captain Mike Callahan, of Prince
ton, pass to the side lines with himself
still in the game. There is no suitable
substitute for Havemeyer. Captain
Horween has been practising there for
the past three weeks. Charlie Tierney.
second string center, is aggressive and
fair defensive man, but far from re-
liable as passer.
ticularly active fellow for his 216
pounds. This is his second year on the
varsity. He charges hard and low and
plays crouching offensive. Tolbert,
his running mate, is not so active. His
enormous shoulders a.e an asset in
working his way through the opposing
line, stopping plays or piling up the
interference so some one else can nail
the runner.
On the wings Kane is natural foot
ball player, and was the regular right
tackle IN last years game. Jack CASTOR
is the right end. CASTOR is used on the
long side Of the line, and is called on to
take out the tackles in some of Har-
wards most successful line plays.
Captain Horween will be depended on
primarily for defensive work If he
is in extra good shape he will do most
of the line bucking. He is due also to
serve as first string drop kicker. Owen
will serve in an all around capacity,
both in line plays and the more general
open play. Fits, if he plays, will punt,
otherwise Owen will be called upon.
Harvard will probably have little new
stuff to show New Haven. The puzzling
forward passes which fooled Princeton
may be tried out against Yale also, with
q hope for similar luck.

America to be "super-fghter," but
that he would meet him with as much
confidence as he did the British fight

Ohio State Must
Defeat Illinois
To Clinch HonOrs

CHICAGO. Nov. 14.-Ohio State now
stands at the top of the Western Con-
ference football elevens, but must de-
teat Illinois next Saturday in order to
have an undisputed claim to the cham
plonshlp. for defeat by Illinois would
make the situation more doubtful. with
possibly three teams claiming frst
honors.
Victory for Ohio State next Saturday
would leave the Buckeyes the only un-
defeated team. A defeat. however, and
victory for Wisconsin over Chicago
you'd give Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio
State a record of one defeat each and
an equal claim to the championship on
the comparative score or dope" basis.
Illinois, however, would possess one
more victory than either of her com
petltors, and consequently mathemati-
cally would posses the best record and
probably would be conceded the cham
nlonshlp honors. Under these condi-
tions Illinois would have five victories
and one defeat, with Ohio State and
Wisconsin each having mark of four
and one.
= The surprising defeat of Illinois on
Saturday, when Wisconsin, in a ten
minute squirt Of superfootball. forward
passed its way to two touchdowns and
a IA to victory, has made Ohio State
the favorite in next Saturdays battle.
Wlsconsin's success against Illinois
with the forward pass is considered
particularly significant in studying
Ohio States chances, for the Buckeye
team is considered the greatest for
