STOCK MARKET , IN BEARS HANDS
Professional Operators Turn Lose Steam
 : Roller Tactics . ;.
By WILL JOHNSON

 NEW YORK, March 17.-Bears had everything their own way in tlb stock market at the beginning. of the new week., and after series of sorties designed to produce declines had sue ceeded, professional operators turned loose the steam roller in the last hour and the industrials yielded gneerally teathe days loss. One. of the weakest groups was the motors with Stude- baker. reaching record 1924 low, at e65s and Chandler at 55. Motor access sories were similarly heavy. :. But apart from the movement on. the stock exchange there were two out standing eenvts, and investigation show ed that they were related to degree. recovery in the French franc 10 Just under the 5 cent level, the closing quo tation being $e497, 8 gain of 22h points for the day. The second event was the drop in call money to ,3h per ceut, the lowest level since September 20, 1913. The previous low mark for this year was 3A per cent, reached January Il.
 Explains French Loan
 Simultaneously with the east In funds with brokers offering $30. .0e0, 900 in vain, came reports from, banking circles that the .$100, 100000 French credit sfablish- ed last week by J. P. Morgan. & Com pany. was being loaned on can instead
 
 it would appear that the recovery in francs was either being engineered in European capitals or that it was case of a good psychological play.
 Spme of the banks, however, Jexolain- ed that the ease in money. was mainly due to the rapid return of funds used to pay taxes Saturday. About S1,500,- 900 was involved in the tax payments of Saturday. .. szs.1-. s,-- <. ....

 Bear Tips Numerous
 The professionals during the major part of the day concentrafed their at tacks to a considerable degree on issues whose unfavorable earnings situation made them especially ulnerable, vinclud- ing Keliy-springfield and American Sumatra. The uctting of Pan Amer jean, dividend, though long expected, sided the heaviness.
 Bear tips are now as numerous as bull tips when the market was sadvanc- ing. The same interests who began their attack on stocks a year ago haev been conspicuous on theN selling side for the last several weeks. More re- gently the policy has been to pick out stocks that show indications of poor support. As the motor car manufac- turers have been heay ybuyers of steel the weakness was communicated in some measure to that group.

WARNER HAS HELPED
TO BUILD GRID GAME

Glenn Warner is unique in foot
ball. During his long career as
coach with teams in different parts of
the country. and particularly as di-
rector of the formerly famous Car
Isle Indians, he probably has had
more interesting experiences than
any man In the game. He took the
importance in the country. and GER
tainly has faced more opponents than
any other coach in history.
Warner has been responsible for
many changes in foot ball. Up to
1899. for instance. men in the back
field stood with their hands on their
knees while waiting for the play.
Warner introduced the crouching
start. through which the backs put
their weight on their toes and one
hand. This shifted their center of
gravity forward and they were COM
PEELED to charge forward merely by
the lifting of the supporting hand.
Incidentally they charged low. The
Carlisle Indians first used the new
crouch in the game with Columbia in
1899.
AS the Indians were light, Warner
sought to develop their speed to the
greatest possible extent. In those
days all players were burdened by
huge pads on their shoulders, hips,
knees and elbows. This equipment
slowed them UP, particularly on wet
days. He did away with elbow and
knee pads, and reduced the shoulder
and hip pads 50 that they could be
warn easily under the players jer-
seys. The Indians gained a lot Of
speed and suffered no more injuries
than other teams. SO the innovation
was soon universally adopted.
Warner developed the flying tao
kie to a high pitch while at Car
lisle. Other teams could not use
the play as skillfully as the In
dams and injuries ensued, which re-
suited in a rule that players must
keep one foot on the ground while
tackling and only tackle above the
knees.
The hidden ball trick, by which
Carlisle scored a touchdown on Har-
ward in 1908, was a Warner inven-
ton. He devised it at Cornell in
1897. so that the scrub eleven could
use 1t on the first team. and keep the
latter, which had not been scored on
in any of its games, from getting too
confident. The trick was simple. On
the kick-off, the man receiving the
ball was surrounded by all the other
players. The ball was stuffed under
a players jersey at his back. and the
whole team set up the field running
in every direction. The opposition
did not know whom to tackle and the
run was apt to extend past the goal
line.

TARHEEL'S DRoP.KICK
BEATS v. M. l., 3 TO 0

CHAPEL HILL, N. c., November s.
The flying squadron of Virginia
Military Institute invading the Tar
heel stronghold for the first time
since 1920 found their offensive
built around '@Wyndy" White, giant
fullback, checkmated by a rejuve-
mated North Carolina eleven and were
thrown back with a 3-to-0 loss after
a bitterly contested game.
Jack Merritt, cadet nemesis of 1922,
clinched the laurels in the battle be-
tween the two star fullbacks with a
3S-yard run. the longest of the game,
thereby affording the Tarheels their
best scoring opportunity, which
Hackney, quarterback of last years
freshman eleven, realized a moment
later with a perfect field goal from
the 29-yard line.
In every department. Of play save
kicking alone, the Tarheels were
superior. Finding the line impene-
trable, White attempted end runs
only to find a stonewalf Carolina de-
fense. But one of his six long passes
was completed and he failed in two
tries for goal from placement from
midfeld. but he consistently outpunt-
ed Merritt.
Not once were the invaders able to
advance within the Carolina 2O-yard
line, and it was the punting of White
that pulled the squadron out Of sew
eral difficult spots.
