Washington. Oct. 25 R,-The punctured tire and the blown out inner tube must be repaired again and used a little while longer.
 This defensive measure on the part of the United States rubber consumers might be followed sue cessfully, the commerce department reported today, against government control which has been established over the production and marketing of eight other important commodi- ties which must be purchased from abroad at a total of more than S1,- 900. .000,000 annually.
 Concidentally with the summary of the import situation by F. G. Holt, chief of the departments rubber di- vision came the announcement from London that the Stephenson system of restricting rubber exports from .Ceylon and Malaya will continue for at least another year from November next, in an endeavor to maintain prices.
 Under new regulations, however, 1t seems probable that the coming three months will see a reduction of the exportable rubber allowance from the present 100 per cent to so percent.
 Following the great success achieved by the British rubber monopoly. Holt said in his sum- mary, foreign governments have sought to raise the price of long staple cotton. camphor, coffee. iodine nitraates, potash. mercury and sisal, most of which are essen- tial to American industrial activity. The United States is the largest single national consumer of all of these.
 The defensive measures against rubber prices--longer use and more repairs-which were successful in breaking the first high prices for that commodity, might well be ex- tended, he suggested. if the other foreign controls should attempt the same "mulcting" Of the American consumer of their product.

 The life of another convicted murderer had hung upon the same decision. The Sacco defense based its fight largely on the deposition Of Celestino F.

AMHERST IS EARLY
 WINNER IN BATTLE
Wesleyan Makes One Try and
 Then Takes a Long Sleep

l Middletown, Oct. 25.-Throwing a | hard running set of backs over a
 tepid line, Amherst Saturday proved
 that straight football was still in the
 running for consideration when the
 Lord Jeff eleven tore holes in the Wesleyan team to the tune of 20 | to 0.
 Wesleyan tried hard at first. Get
 ting the ball on the kick off and
 making pretty run-back to nearly
 midfield, they opened up in a series
 of extended trick plays that threat
 ened to wreck the Amherst hopes
 before the game was quarter old. Once that one rush stopped, Wes-
 leyan was through for the day, and Amherst proceeded to deliberately
 rip holes in Wesleyan's tackles and
 to make gouges in Wesleyan's cen- ter. In comparison with Wesleyan s
 unsteady, faltering runs, Amhersts
 backs knew where that hole would be and proceeded to dive over and
 through that hole for eight and
 nine yards at try.
 Toward the end, Wesleyan's fight dwindled and died. Regardless of the pleadings of Captain Steele, the line curled up and let the Purple and White through, and through and through. Two or three brilliant flashes of football died the next min ute with a series of miserable tackles and faulty running. The game dragged out into the final quarter and the whistle blew with Wesleyan on the shorter end of the victory than the scoreboard indicated. The score board showed but 20 to 0, while the moral score board showed an over whelming defeat for the Red and Black. Overwhelming because the team lost it's fight too early in the game. Old Wesleyan grads shook their heads and mumbled bewilder- edly-this wasn't the Wesleyan that they had watched on the field of battle.
 The Wesleyan stands quit early in the game. And Wesleyan cheering was ragged and dribbled off into a ragged series of noises. The Middle town team was beaten before the half was over, beaten on the field and in the stands.
 One feature of the game enlivened the otherwise dreary contest. Miller, the l97-pound tackle for Amherst, kept up running verbal fire at the Wesleyan man opposite, the Wes- leyan team in general. the campus and the student body at large. Each signal called by his quarterback brought the cry of That's the one" or That's a beauty from the biz Ndder. A substitute send in to stand some severe battering from him brought crow Of delight when Mil- Ter saw him opposite. Look who's here.' he cried to his team, and the team saw to the extent of ripping through the newcomer for a first down.
 Injuries on Wesleyan's side of the fray were numerous, and three of the wearers of the Red and Black were led from the field, including SllloWay. Lee and Tetly, three of "eslevan's mainstays in the offenso The only honor that can be cast over the bowed shoulders of the Red and Black team is that in some of the many crises, they were fired with enough fight to smear Amherst's line pIunges for slight losses and once to filch the ball on downs when Lord Jeff was peeping through the keyhole of the gates to another score.

McLaughry saw Yale beat Dartmouth. T knew what Yale had in the way of passing attack" he said after the victory Saturday, "and taught 1t to the boys at Brown.

Yesterday the U. s. submarine base team of New London was in this city about 12 o'clock ready to play the scheduled game with the local professional team and as the rain held off, both teams got into their uniforms and went to Memo rial field. Then at five minutes to two, the rain pelted down and the game was called off. There were slightly over 200 customers at the field but they were little disap- pointed because the weather was so bad that a very poor game would necessarily have resulted.
