Koehler played regularly last year.
and, while not likely to pass the sec

the line for good gains. Hamilton
did well in the Princeton game. Con-

LINE IS STRONG.
The Navy line is considered by ex-
perts to be as strong as any in the
country. and. 1t Is admitted generally
that 1t outplayed the Princeton for
wards.
It is believed here that there will
be an advantage. over Georgetown in
the line play, and that 1t will more
than Offset Georgetown's superiority
in the backfield.

: that about two-thirds of the stock

These figures portray quite clearly
that stock market or security trans

extraordinary amount of credit.
While to the layman the total figure
for the country may seem large, IL
must be borne in mind that this
figure includes loans of all classes
secured by stocks and bonds and
should not in any way be confused
with the total borrowings of the So

small part of this total could
be traced to Wall street stock ex-
change transactions. Recent esti-
mates give Wall street brokers loans
at $500. 900.
Bankers do not regard this figure as
unusually high, and even go so far as
to say that this class of borrowing is
now below the pre-war level.
