superiority of the Palo Alto squad. -.

my men have a chance to spring an
upset if anything goes wrong with
Stanford, but on first glance it looks

NOM SCOUTING IDEAS
STATED BY HARVARD
By the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May c6 H).--
The Harvard athletic committee, be-
lieving that the proposed non scouting
agreement in Eastern intercollegiate
foot ball might have a tendency to
foster suspicion between colleges" has
sent letter to it's opponents of the
1927 foot ball schedule explaining why
Harvard has entered into the agree
ment for but a single year.
The letter. written by William j.
Bingham, director of athletics at Har-
ward states that Harvard wishes to
cooperate with all the colleges with
which it has foot ball relations, and
desires to know what methods In
dividual colleges suggest to insure this
cooperation.
Explaining Harvard's attitude on
the non-scouting agreement. the letter
SAYS: "Our committee does not feel
that n question of ethics is involved
in scouting, and is of the opinion that
a non-scouting agreement might have
a tendency to foster suspicion between
colleges rather than promote mutual
trust, we have, therefore, entered into
this agreement for one year only"

YASHINGION = HfSt power
n boat regatta. held last Fall,
NN was the greatest in the
sports history in some re-
spects, but it will be sur
nassed by the second annual Presi-
dents Cup event September 16 and
II, according 70 Commodore Conrad
c. Smith of the Corinthian Yacht
Club. which brought the speed classic
10 this city.
Commodore Smith, serving his
fourth term IS skipper of the Corinth-
ians. incidentally, said today:
''Our regatta committee has re-
ceived more encouragement than the
most optimistic of us had hoped for
from the leading power-boat organiza-
tions and individuals whose favor is
necessary for success in a regatta like
the Presidents Cup.
Virtually all of those who took
part in the regatta last Fall are eX
pected to return and bring others
with them. . The coming regatta not
only should be larger but the compe-
tition in the various events keener
4 number of new craft are expected
that should make it interesting for
last years winners.
"And. what will make it all the more
interesting, Washington will be more
strongly represented. The regatta
last Fall gave speed-boat racing a
real foothold here"
Ira Hand. secretary of the Amer
ican Power,boat Association. declared
on a recent visit here that the Presi-
dents Cup regatta would be practical
" a roundup of the finest craft in
the land and some perhaps from for
eign countries.
1T will be the outstanding classic
OF the sport" he summed up the
prospects.
The regatta committee is busy now
on plans for a big banquet to be held
early in June, at which Secretary of
the Navy Curtis d. Wilbur will be
an honor guest and speaker.
Rivalry among some of Washing.
toms own yachtmen is waxing warm
and may reach climax in the big
regatta. This is particularly true of

Motors had bettered by a fraction its
previous best. The demonstration in
Allied Chemical began almost at the

Minor incidents that would have

the advance in Southern Pacific to the

more & Ohio and Atlantic Coast Line
went along to a greater or less extent.
Delaware & Hudson jumped over 4
points. Chicago, North Western was
very strong. Most of the day New

its own, probably being held back by
the proposed issue of new stock.
Features among the utilities were
Consolidated Gas at practically the
high of the year and American Tele-

Drop in Kansas City Reserve
Discount Rate Has Bull
ish Effect.
BY CHARLES +. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 29.--The unex.
peCted reduction in the Kansas CITY
Federal Reserve Bank discount rate
to 31a per cent suggesting a subse-
quent lowering of the rate here and
in other districts, gave the bond
market today sound basis for
further advance in prices. Considerable
strength was observed In sections OF
the list that had responded very little
to the gradual decline in interest rates
throughout the second half of this
month.
Coming at time when the absorb
ton of new issues had relieved the
investment situation of its weakest
factor, the 80 per cent rate drew
comparison to yields that are available
on many good first and second grade
issues. All along the line there was
n stiffeninG in prices and a withdrawal
of offerings which have been over
hanging the market for weeks.
Institutions Are Interested.
Institutions have begun to show
more interest in bonds that have suf-
ficient quality to pass their invest
ment committees. During the month
they have been cautiously buying in
ket, and in the aggregate have taken
up a large portion of the visible sup
ply. 1t is expected that more indi-
vidual demand will develop as the
average of stock prices rises and the
public begins to consider the wisdom
of carrying speculative securities at
the present high levels.
The legal rails and public utilities,
municipals. Governments and the

the industrial list. This included
