ANNUAL ARGUMENTS

While it isn't generally known, many
of the arguments that, arise between
the athletic bodies of the various uni
versities can be traced to some griev-
ance over the question of officials,
Some years ago I met with the grad
uate managers of Yale Princeton and
Harvard ali the invitation of Jack
Blossom, then in charge of Yale.
The question of umpires for the big
baseball games, as we'll as the rest of
the schedule, had been the cause of
many complaints. Home umpires fail
ed to give satisfaction.
My opinion was desired as to how
the problem of lessening the trouble
annually caused over the selection of
officials might be brought about

STOCKS SLUMP
Rr InternationaI sew service


NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The move
to lower r-i> in the sto~.l market
was resumed today. after an ex-
tremely reactionary opening, In
which all but a few of the indus
trial speculative leaders sold at de-
clines from Mondays final range.
The Southern railroad stocks were
freely offered in this first period.
While the best show OF strength
was made by the manipulated IN
dustrials in the motor and steel
groups, a new torrent OF selling
orders deluged the market before
the end of the first hour, the pro.
fessiona1s, as before, concentrating
on General Motors and Steel COM
mon. Prices dropped swiftly and
the reactionary move was resumed
in full force.
The two vulnerable points appear
TO be the reported let down in
construction business and the South
ern cotton situation, though good
results are expected to follow the
efforts of the Government and the
Southern bankers to prevent the
dumping of an excess production OK
cotton on the worlds markets.
Stocks of the Southern roads
were again under selling pressure,
with declines OF 1 to points in
Louisville and Nashville, Norfolk
| and Western, Atlantic Coast Line.
An early rally of 2 points or more
| in the industrials and mercantile
share was swept away before the
end of the first hour when a new
wave Of selling broke violently over
| the whole market.
Cotton was fairly steady in this
period, with prices practically I'M
| changed from Monday. Wheat sold
higher, but corn and oats were
reactionary. Rubber markets were
unsettled. Cali money renewals, 5
| per cent.
