Tigers Master
New Tricks to
TriipHarvard
Roper Springs Unheard-Of
Formations in Practice
for the Crimson Game
From q spectal Correspordent


PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. dark
mess put premature end to the prac-
tice Of the Tiger football team to-day
and Coach Roper dismissed his charges
earlier than on anv previous occa-
sion this fall Considering the fact
that the Orange and Black eleven is
starting on its first lar of preparation
cor the big and final game, the after
ICONS proceedings were Unusually
light.
Nevertheless the rehearsal was inn
rortant, practically the whole time be-
ing given over to mastering new forma-
tons which Roper is preparing his men
10 use against Harvard. Several en-
tirely unfamiliar ones were tried. and
IN the instruction of these there was
considerable individual coaching. the
drill being continued for over an hour
Don Louric was again at the helm
and Al Wilmer appeared at fullback
fer the first time in three weeks. He
has entirely recovered from the injury
received at that time and Will be able
TO start against the Crimson on Satur-
lay. Joe Scheerer has not yet re-
turned to college since his bereave-
ment last Thursday, but :. is hoped
that he will return tomorrow.
Two Veterans Absent
Jim McMaHmon was not even in uni
form to day, and his place beside Mike
Callahan was ta..cn by McCaull. II VIII
be interesting to see tomorrow
whether his berth will be permanent.
Up to the time of the West Virginia
game he displayed very little to give
the coaches any satisfaction, but
IL bo
showed fine fight, and it is entirely
possible that he will start the game at
Cambridge.
Another vete1an-pavis-wa also
absent from practice, his place being
taken by LeGenIre. There is strong
opinion on .h3 campus that the latter
end man, who has done sDlendidly in
the past two games, may permanently
displace Davis.
Prior to the afternoons rehearsal
Roper made a long talk to MS charges,
:mpressing them with the great amount
of work that will be necessary II the
Crimson is to be successfully tackled.
Roper Criticizes Play
"Our play against West Virginia was
ragged" he stated after practice. The
line must continue to improve if we are
to face Harvard with any degree OF
confidence. There is much work 10 DO
ione this week and The boys are golng
to have lot OF scrimnaging untll the
very last minute, an hour or so Ga!
1t least"
The team lined up to-day as follows:
Left end. Stinscn; left tackle, keck;
left guard, McCall; center Captain
Callahan; right guard, Dickinson; !;
light tackle. Hooper; right end. Le-
.Tcndre; quarterback, Lourie; felt half

Praise for LiaaS-.c rellows

Whenever any Of the larger institu-
tons, such as Yale, Harvard, Prince
ton, Syracuse and Penn, have a hard
schedule they receive plenty of sym
pathy aNd praise for tackling row
Of tough ones. But how about some
of the smaller colleges which have less
material than the big fellows?
Take Holy cross. for instance-Har-
ward, Springfcld, Dartmouth, Syracuse.
Fordham, Colby and Boston College is
not cakewalk, by any means. Lafay-
cite fearlessly taxes on Muhlenberr.
Navy, Penn. Catholic University. Pitts
burgh, Buclncll and Lehigh Tufts Sc
lec.s for It's opponents Bowdoin, Yer
mont, Army, Dartmouth Detroit, Bos-
ton College.
Penn State is truly representative
state team. In addition to being land
grant college, being maintained in part
by the state, twenty-six out of twenty
seven members of the squad are resi-
dents of the Keystone State.
Despite their setback by Holy Cross,
Syracuse students are not downhearted.
they realize the defeat was not the
fault Of the coach, nor Of the system.
When team makes seven fumbes in a
mldseason contest, as the Orange did
Saturday, there is nobody to blame bat
the players themselves. A coach cant
hold the ball for his charges.

the invasion of the Nebraska eleven.
Some critica tell US it is a real football
team, combining speed and weight.
Others say the Westerners are beefv,
very much so, and that their weight
alone will stop the advance of any
ordinary combination. And one or two
have reported the Nebraskans as not
so great. But all agree the name of
Cornhuskers is quite appropriate. They
are husky In every sense of the word.
Chick Meehan, coach Of the Syracuse
team, says these fellows will not only
set whirlwind pace for the Rutgers
crew. but are quite likely to give Penn
state merry battle on Saturday, pro-
vlded their long journey has not Slapped
their energy. He says the Orange
got grand surprise when ii played out
m Nebraska last year in a post-season
game.
Work at Giants Field
The Nebraska squad arrived in New
York yesterday and had short work
out at the Polo Grounds. 1t was a tired
troupe. Nevertheless, when practice
was finished the Cornhuskers were anx-
lous to take a trip about town and
gaze at the tall buildings.
he Western outfit is an interesting
one, to say the least. "Swede" Swan
son, at end, bane one great PLAYER and
mas developed into wing of consid
cradle ability. The Nebraska lineup
also contains two real Bohemians,
pucchk at tackle and Hubka at half
back. Pucelik is said to be a nifty
'ackle whose play this year has earned
hlm consideration for the all-America
eleven. The guards are brothers,
wade Munn playing on the left side
of the line and his brother Monte
holding down the right berth
In spite of piY yVoirht &c
reiy great deal on the open game
that is, end running and forward tass-
ing to make their gains. SO that
whatever happens it is safe to say the
game will be spectacular

splendid set of forwards who are

will have to make their distances by
other means than line-buckinG.
Rutgers May Surprise
The Scarlet has had an in-and-out
season to date, but it showed in the
come long way and that it is just
beginning to find itself. We look for
the New Brunswick students to give
their Western rivals a hard tussle this
afternoon.
New York University is out to re-
deem itself for the defeat it took from
Hamilton recently Coach Gargan, who
has worked hard and earnestly with
his charges, has made several shifts in
the lineup and is in hopes the shake
up will produce results.
Today's meeting with Trinity will
tell whether or not the team has i'm
proved since its last game. Stevens is
the eleven the Violet is anxious to
beat. and. regardless of all else, the
season will be considered success if
the Manhattarites trim the Hoboken
students in that final issue.
Captain Weinheimer, the fleet back,
will be out of the game to-day, and the
locals will feel his absence keenly but
Ryan. the heavy fullback, is in shape
again and will play against Trinity.
Following are the probable line ups
- the two Games harn tO-dov.

Penn State in Slump

Critics who saw the Penn State

power to carry off the Eastern cham

Int. Mercantile Marine
Pays 5 % Extra Dividend
Action in Line With Policy of
Making Payments on
Back Dividends

In line with their policy of paying off
the back dividends on the preferred
stock of the International Mercantile
Marine Company by extra cash dis
bursements, directors yesterday de-
clared dividend of per cent in ad-
dition to the regular semi-annual dis
tribution of 8 per cent. Both divi-
dends are payable on August to stock
holders of record July Is.
This action Of the International Mer-
camille Marine board brought the ac-
cumulated dividends on the senior stock
issue down to AZ per cent: The last
previous payment on account of the
arrearage on the preferred was per
cent on February 2. A 10 per cent pay
ment was made May Is, 1919, to hold
ers of record May /, and per cent No
vember l to holders of record Oc-
tober 18.
Reports have been current from time
to time that the 1. M. M. directors were
considering plan to liquidate the back
dividends on the preferred stock
through the issuance of new security.
P. A. S. Franklin, president of the COM
pany, in denial of this stated that the
policy of the board would be to meet
the arrearage by extra cash distribu-
tions,

Anelo-French Bonds Strong

Anglo-French bonds, which mature
on October is next, sold up to 995a
Yesterday. Bond dealers reported that
brokers acting for j. P. Morgan & Co.,
fiscal agents of Great Britain and
France, were ready to take all the
Anglos that we're offered. The rise
of the bonds has SO reduced the yield
that some bond men are already rec
ommending that their customers sell
the bonds now and place their funds
into bonds Of higher yield. Regarding
the rumor that France might want to
have it's half Of the loan refunded here,
bankers were scornful. particularly in
view Of the strength Of the bonds in
the open market. 1t is generally as
sumed that France will get accommoda..
tions in London to meet its share OF
the loan.

Selling of Liberty Bonds

The offering of new Treasury GER
tificates Of indebtedness at 5& and 6
per cent yesterday caused heavy SELL
ing of Liberty bonds and Victory
notes in the morning. There was a
shading off Of prices, but toward noon
there was slight recovery. Later
there was fresh selling movement.
This reaction in the Liberty bond mar
ket was predicted by bond men, and
the effects are regarded as temporary,
particularly because the Treasury will
begin buying in the open market on
July 1 under the sinking fund arrange
ment. 1t is believed that per cent is
rather near the peak Of interest rates
for the Treasury to pay, and it is plain
that the Washington authorities would
not like to make further boost Of the
rates in the race to keep up with pre-
yailing conditions in the money mar
ket. In the open market outstanding
Treasury certificates were selling on
approximately per cent basis.

WITH revival Of bullish activity
yesterday in Barrett and National AMI
line and Chemical shares reports were
revived of merger Of these properties.
No statements of developments along

from officers of the two companies. II
Is believed that the recent killing of
the dye bill by Congress has been in
huential in encouraging the creation
of new short interest in National
Aniline and on technical conditions
alone, and the rise of "a points in the
stock yesterday was probably aided by
buying from that quarter. The current
