CHORTLY after the final quarter started,
- Thurston got within scoring distance, but
was held for three downs. Then Jim Bradley
in desperation tried drop-kick, and put the
ball squarely over the bar. The stands went
wild as Thurston gained the advantage, 1914.
But Coach Culberton had been watching
Lundquist's work at left end with anxious eyes.
AS the end of the game approached Creighton
was pushing the ball deeper and deeper into
ThurstOn territory.
The coach finally turned to Ray. do you
think you are good for few minutes, boy?"
he said. If keep Llndquist in there they'll
score as sure as the world"
Ray was on his feet eager. A moment later
he had taken his place at left end. F1ercely
he tried to forget the pain in his chest and the
ache in his head, concentrating on the play.
Creighton drove all the force OF its powerful
backfield off tackle on Rays side of the line
He nailed the runner for a loss of yard.
Again they shot play at him and he stopped
the ball carrier in his tracks. forward pass

ton took the ball on its own 20-yard line.
There were only few seconds left. If Jim
Bradley could get a good punt away the danger
would be over. But Bradley was hurried and
his kick was short and low.
Ray, tearing down the field after the ball,
saw Jensen get it in midfeld. Running with
desperate speed the big back cut across the
field. One Thurston man after another was
taken out by clever interference as he sped
down the Sidehne.
But Ray had cut back and was running like
the wind after him. AS they passed the 20-yard
mark he was only q few steps behind. At the
1O-yard line he was a step closer. Then he
launched himself at Jensen's legs, caught him,
dragged him down inches short of the goal
line.

ton still was ahead, 1914.
THAT pain in your chest was only a cracked

examined him a short time later. "a little adj

Ray grinned at her. They understood each

their holdings later on with some
advantage.
The bulls can hardly help but
be disappointed by the action of
the market recently. The slight
rally on Tuesday, after six days
of recession, was utterly lacking
in snap, and lacked good leader
ship. It brought no considerable
volume of buying, and seemed to
represent merely a little short
covering.
If the technical position had
been really strong, and if the in
vestment demand had been good,
one could have expected more
strength at this point. It is ap-
preaching the levels at which re-
cent reactions have been checked.
Bonds ReactiOnary
The bond market has continued
reactionary. At times like this, if
investors won't buy bonds, why
should you expect them to buy
stocks?
For the present, therefore, it
seems that investment buying
should be postponed and trading
commitments be largely confined
to sales on the bulgeS."

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-With
victory snatched out Of their
grasp by an eleventh-hour drive
yesterday by professionals, it is
little wonder if the remnant Of

depressed today.
The count now stands eight to

Some Silver Lining
However, in the midst Of all

several facts of greater or lesser
importance are worthy OF atten-

To begin with, the rails are
beginning to show signs OF lie.
While other sections of the list

To Be BUYING
COTTON
Big Government Orders Are
Reported From Texas,
But Price Dips

NEW YORK, Nov. 20. GNS).
The cotton market continued to
move within comparatively mar
row range of prices today, in
trading that was only fairly ac-
tive. Futures continued under
the influence of December liquida-
ton which came mainly from
commission houses and at midday
prices were slightly below pre-
vious closings.
japanese Buying
japanese interests were re-
ported actively buying December
and March. Liverpool and the
Continent were good buyers Of
the near months. Buying from
Wall Street and covering opera.
tions on the part of shorts were
other sustaining influences for
the market.
1t was reported here today
from Dallas, Tex, that japanese
interests have received an order
from the japanese government
for 100000 bales of cotton ant
that buying by japanese firm
Of low grade and short staple
cotton indicated an unlimited
demand regardless of price.
1t is known that japanese in.
terests have been steady buyers OF
futures at New York for the past
few weeks. Explanations ad.
vanced for this buying of spotg
and futures include the trouble in
Manchuria, the forestalling in
some measure of the possibility Of
an economic boycott, and the fact
that cotton is considered a good
investment at a time when the
gold standard is being abandoned
by some countries with the posi-
bility that price initiation may
occur.
Drop to Points
The explanation accepted here,
however, is that cotton is cheap
and japanese merchants and
mills are taking advantage of the
low prices. 1t is remembered that
Japan was big buyer of cotton
in the record season of 1926-1927,
when prices were comparatively
lower.

threat Of further Japanese mill

contained today in an ultimatum
sent by the Japanese consul at
Tsitsihar to the local government
of Heilunghiang Province, de-
manding immediate measures to
repair the Nenkiang River Bridge

The ultimatum gave the
Heilungkiang authorities one week
in which to repair the bridge. If
the work is not done by that
time, Japanese soldiers will seize
the bridge and repair it. The
upltimatum was based upon the
fact that the Japanese owned
