High-Grade Issues Record
Fractional Advances in

NEW YORK, November IA some
what steadier market for domestic
corporation bonds that have been under
pressure, but soft spots in others,
represented the general trend in the
investment market today. There was
fair degree of activity.
The high grade issues were firm
with fractional advances in a limited
number and more disposition to trade
In the group of new legalS as published
estimates show earnings sufficient 10
cover their requirements to Keep them
in the legal list. A distinct feature OF
this weeks market has been the With
drawal of offerings and the substitu-
ton OF bids slightly below the current
range.
Amusement company bonds we're firm

There was an improvement in tone OF

such bonds as Erie SIS and st. Paul
Gold SIS. Commercial Investment Trust
IS advanced a point on more than usual
activity. A weak spot IN the market
was Consolidation Coal S. which broke
sharply to a price that suggests some
question about the payment of the
next coupon.
Foreign issues were irregular. The
South Americans showed losses and
gains about equally divided in members
of the same family groups. Liquidation
seems to have been checked, but there
is no snap to the rallies. Each sub
stantial advance is usually followed by
a reaction. German Government 5l2s
improved a point. A notable incident
in this weeks market has been a 10
point decline in the State of Queens
land rs, long regarded as one of the
strongest foreign dollar bonds. This is
in line with the revision of opinion as
to the standing OF all the Australian
issues.
Government securities were steady,
including the Liberty 4As and the
long-term Treasury issues. There has
been heavy demand for these obliga-
lions from banks recently.
With such small volume of new
financing last month, the market has
been able to absorb liquidation of Old
issues more easily and is in a stronger
technical condition than for some time.
Present indications are that there will
be comparatively little ref1nancing this
month.

PRINCETON TRIMS
AMHERST, e TO D
Long DaShes and tumble by
Rival Productive-James,

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HRINCETON, N. j., october A.
- Princeton scored II points in
the first quarter of the Tiger
Amherst clash in Palmer Sta
dunn here this afternoon and recorded
23-to-0 victory in their opening game
of the season. About 1900 persons
witnessed Princeton's sixteenth victory
over the Lord Jeffs.
Jack James, former Brooklyn Poly
prep star and captain of the Tiger year
lings last Fall, made a successful initial
performance as a member of the Tiger
varsity On the first play of the game
he swept around left end for 53-yard
gain, being tackled on Amherst's r.
yard stripe The Tigers lost the ball
when Purnell's try for field goal was
short of the mark, but when A. Kenyon
dropped back to kick, Langdon Lea
broke through and blocked it, Garrett
falling on the ball for the first score.
An Amherst tumble in the second Pc
Rod led to Princeton's second touch
down. James picked up ball which
Tener had dropped on Amherst's 20,
and from there the Tigers bac--s gained
the remaining distance to the goal with
James carrying the ball across. James
35-yard dash came soon after the start
of the second period when Amherst was
threatening to score after recovering a
Tiger tumble The Lord JeffS had the
ball on the 20-yard line when Depasque
stepped back for a forward which James
grabbed on his own 12-yard mark.
Princeton's second-string backfield
played throughout the greater part of
the game after the Tiger regulars had
piled up substantial lead.

20-to.7 Victory Fails to Indicate

tory over the Baylor Bears, 30 to 7, in
the Ross-Ade Stadium here today, Pur-
dues foot ball team looked Ike any,
thing but Big Ten champions. Their
play was ragged throughout and they
showed no sustained drive at any time
Two long passes and a brilliant 75-yard
run pulled the game out of the fire for
Purdue.
The score fails to 90 full credit to
the invading Baylor team. Jake Will
son, one of the speediest Quarterbacks
ever seen on this field. played great ball
throughout as did Capt Koch at guard
and Paradeaux at center. Wilson re-
ceiyed punt in the second quarter and
ran through the entire Purdue team for
SIS yards and touchdown, but Baylor
was oh-side on the play and the ball
was brought back. Koch scored the
only Baylor touchdown when he inter-
cepted a pass from Chasey that had
been partially blocked and ran 35 yards
to the goal line.
The Boilermakers' line, which had
been rated unusually strong, was re-
sponsible for most Of the ragged play.
The line played well on the defense, but
their offensive play was disappointing
More than IL 900 persons attended.
Purdue's first touchdown was scored by
Moss when he received q pass from
Pope over the goal line in the second
quarter The gain was is yards Kis-
sell scored in the third quarter on a
75-yard run. A 20-yard pass from
Pope to Purvis was scored in the fourth

~ AMBRIDGE, Mass, october A.
Harvard encountered little op-
position here today when it
opened its foot ball season by
piling up 10 touchdowns in the double
header against Vermont and the United
States Coast Guard Academy.
Vermont was overwhelmed, IS to 0, in
four 10-minute periods and the service
men bowed, 80 to 0, after only 80 min
utes of play.
The double bill, the second in Har-
Yards history gave Head Coach Arnold
Horween nothing more than an oppor-
tunity to watch every member of his
squad under fire.
Use Few Laterals.
Harvard spent 70 of the ~ minutes
of action deep in enemy territory and
used straight line plunging, mixed with
a few laterals throughout both con-
tests.
The Coast Guardsmen, who were
never able to advance the ball as far as
midfeld. made no kind Of an offensive
gesture.
Vermont threatened late in the third
period, when Durfey, an end, recovered

SCHOOLS IN NIGHT
TILT ON SATURDAY
Emerson and Gettysburg to
BattIe-SeVeral Games
Listed for Week.

w YASHINGTON'S first night foot
M ball game between schoolboy
teams will take place next
Saturday when Emerson In
stitute's huskies entertain the Gettys-
burg Academy eleven in Griffith
Stadium. It should be good battle, too,
as Emerson has big team with plenty
Of power and Gettysburg generally has
a formidable eleven.
While the Emerson Gettysburg game
will be particularly interesting because Of
its nocturnal setting, several other bright
contests are carded during the week.
Central and ST. Johns will have 1t
out Friday in the Central Stadium in
the stand-out struggle of the week be-
tween District foes. Central has bunch
Of stalwart boys and st. Johns has
some clever performers. 1t may be a
bang-up game.
Another battle here Friday which
promises to produce lively competition is
that listed between GonZaga and Busi-
ness in the Gonzaga Stadium. The
Purple handed the Stenogs a 3l-6 past
ins last season and the latter will be
battling to even scores. Business appears
to have a somewhat stronger squad than
a campaign ago and it is doubtful If
Gonzaga, which has lost raft of de-
pendables, is as formidable. A decidedly
more interesting battle than a year age
may result.
In another encounter cared Friday
Eastern will entertain Landon in the
Lincoln Park School Stadium. 1t will
be the first game for Landon, which
| hardly is expected to offer the Light
Blue great deal Of oposition, Landon
though, doubtless has better outfit
! than in 1929.
| Western is to go out of town Friday
to open its season against Washington
Lee High at Ballston, Va
Aside from the Emerson Gettysburg
tilt. the only other game listed Saturday
is that IN which Dewitt will engage New
| port News (Va) High at Newport News
Last season Dewitt and Newport News
fought to Go tie in the Virginia city
