NEW YORK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Dec. S.--(By The AS
ISOLATED Press Marked irregularity
characterized the price movements
in today's stock market, which re-
acted sharply at the close after an
early period of strength. Encouraged
by President Coolidge's prediction of
continued prosperity, operators early
in the day bid up prices to a point
where heavy realizing sales and re-
newed short selling were attracted.
AT the close net gains of ! to II
points contrasted with an equal num-
Der of losses ranging from / to il 10
points.
The presidents message to con-
gress was well received in Wall Street
which found particular cause for
satisfaction In his recommendation
for an early tax reduction and his
approval of methods to expedite rail-
road consultations. The immediate
response of the stock market was
favorable but the message apparent
ly had been fairly well discounted
and stocks offered little resistance
to selling pressure when the air
traders launched a late attack.
A food of increased dividends
failed to arouse much bullish en-
thusiasm, although they included
such important changes as the es-
Enlistment of Western Union on an
So annua lbasis, Virginia Railway on
a $6 annual basis and Marland Oil

HAS HOPES OF sun
Berth IN HOOP GAME

Philadelphia, Dec. S.-(AP)-For
the first time since the season OF
1920-21, Pennsylvania aspirations
for an intercollegiate league bas-
ketball championship seem well
founded. Five seasons ago Danny
McNichol, now an assistant coach,
led his team to a title. Since that
time Quaker teams have figured
prominently in championship games
but have failed to win first honors
Although five of the 1924-25 'varsi-
ty men-Carmack. Dessen, Kneass,
Morris and Block, were lost by grad
uation, Head Coach Eddie McNichol
wears a smile because he has nu-
cleus of such stars as Paul Daven-
port, Louis Sherr, Emanuel Gold
blatt and Roger lindsay.
Davenport, captain of the team
played forward and guard last sea-
son. McNichol will keep him at for
ward this year, a position for which
he has natural ability. He is one OF
the best field goal tossers in the
squad.
Paired at forward with Davenport
will be M. w. Chapman, who last
year served his apprenticeship on
the junior varsity. Chapman's de-
velopment has been so rapid that he
has been given a regular position
over a half dozen more experienced
players.
Sherr is fixture at center. He
was the sensation of PENIS brilliant
squirt of last year that carried the
team to victory in the final game
over the previously undefeated
champion Princeton quintet
Goldblatt. regular guard last sea-
son, is again holding down the de-
fenSive position. Last season Gold
blatt had fewer goals scored on him
than any other guard in the league.
Lindsay. substitute guard and for
ward last season, is opposite Gold
blatt. He is the tall, angular type
of court player and has improved
greatly over his form of a year ago,
McNichol has a host of capable
substitutes, including number who
last year were members of the ju-
nior varsity five. Clarence Fields,
star In football, is making a deter
mined fight for guard position
Gene Cannell and Harvey Matthews
are forward candidates of promi-
hence. w. J. Magee seeks the pivot
post and William Lukaswitz and
Frank Dawson are promising
guards.
Twenty-one games including the
league contests, will be played by the
varsity five. A home and home ar
rangement with the Army is fea-
ture of the schedule.

Grange Bestirs
Himself But Little
In Bears 1910 Win

Washington, Dec. 8-(AP)-A net
gain of sixteen yards while carrying
the ball and a goal kick after a
touchdown by one of his mates was
Red Oranges only contribution to
the 1910 victory of the Chicago Bears
over the Washington All Stars in a
professional football game here to-
day.
1t remained for another red head,
J. Bryan, former University of Chi
cago player, to provide the only thrill
for the several thousand spectators.
In the fourth quarter Bryan
snatehed a Washington pass and
raced rs yards for a touchdown.
Grange, who played in the first
and final periods, carried the ball
ten times. His gains totalled Is
yards but on several attempts he
was thrown behind his own line for
losses aggregating ten yards. The
two forward passes he attempted
were grounded and he was unable to
get near a pass intended for him.
After Hanny of the Bears scored
touchdown with a 23 yard run of
an intercepted pass in the final per-
iod. Grange kicked successfully for
the extra point. but a few minutes
later he failed on second attempt.
A low pass from center hindered his
kick.
Captain Sternaman started the
Bears scoring in the third period
with a touchdown from the fouryard
line. The ALI Stars fought stub
bornly throughout and in the second
quarter marched to within ten yards
of touchdown with volley of long
forward passes.
The former Illionis star was not an
important factor in his teams de-
Tense, seldom making tackles. He
played easily throughout his two
periods, apparently Preserving his
strength for the remaining games in
which he is to appear this fall.
