Stock AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Aviations
and other selected stocks led quiet
recovery move in today's market.
While favorites held advances Of
fractions to 2 points or so. numerous
issues were unable to shake off small
minus signs and wide assortment
closed at Thursdays final levels.
Brisk rallies in wheat and cotton
futures inspired little buying in
the stock department, although con-
tinued tax selling and doubts about
early 1910 business proved restrain
ing influences.
Gains and losses of minor amounts
were about evenly divided until the
final hour when the aircrafts came
to the fore and propped other
groups.
Dealings were light throughout.
Transfers approximated 100000
shares.
Tiltlng forward were Douglas Air
craft, United Aircraft. Glenn Mar
tin, Eastern Airlines, Pan-American
Airways, Bethlehem Steel, Chrysler,
Westinghouse, American Smelling
and General Electric.
Backward were Sears Roebuck,

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Wheat prices
shot up as much as ga cents a
bushel today to establish the high
est prices paid here since October,
1887.
Advancing almost cents from
early lows, various futures contracts
traded here rose to highs ranging
from ST to s105 per bushels, the lat
ter for December delivery.
Brokers said much of the buying
was associated with evening up of
short accounts prior to release
of the official Argentine crop re-
port expected after the close. In
view of recent reports of serious de-
terioration of wheat in Argentina
the Government figures are expect
ed to reveal much smaller harvest
than year ago Continuation of
the domestic drought also stimu-
lated purchasing.
Despite heavy profit taking in the
final trades, much of the gain was
retained and wheat closed 1N-2A
cents higher than yesterday. Decem-
Der 1895, May l015s-ss. Corn
was as-%4 higher, December 55ss,

To Be Made Public

sketchy outline Of his mammoth
conspectus.
Tip-Oh May Be Given.
Some idea of what the sleuth con-
veyed to the delegates, however,
will be made clear if certain things
are done. If, for instance, plans
are set afoot to revise conference
rules on financial aid to athletes,
and, above all, if the way is paved
for the appointment of a commits
sioner, la Maj. Griffith and Asa
Bushnell, to govern college athletics
on the Coast, we shall have gained
a definite notion that, when the
huge report is finally published, the
favored ones permitted to read it
will find it worth their while.
1t is limited that. as result of
Athertons privately -divulged pre-

blistered and then they got calloused.
But he stuck.

boat started flying. When they got
back to the bathhouse, he couldn't
reach me fast enough. Coach he
said, 1T was Just like q bird:-and

But since such q sensation rarely
comes when crews are under pres

his crew or Yale to get it today.
Like the rest Of the experts and the
innocent bystanders, he's looking
for a close race between a poised,

man from last years varsity.

Turner.
Turner gained the final only after

Cowan, wining by scores of 2-6,

proved game, the 16-year -old Cowan
worried his opponent with a blister

old Harvards came in their yachts
and cruisers from Boston, New York
and Baltimore. Their craft dropped
anchor at stations assigned them by
the Coast Guard along the winding,
4-mile Thames River course.
Others came from halfway across
the country to pay IS for the priv
ilege Of sitting on a hard wooden
bench on an observation train. The
locomotive belches forth enough
SCOT and cinders to bury half of
Pittsburgh: when 1t rains the wind
whips the water into the open
fronts of the cars; the train plays
de-and-seek with the oarsmen he
hind submarine bases and other
distractions half the time, and yet
the old grads will be there to see
the finish, and that's enough for
them.
Rowing Grips Participants.
Why? Because no sport, once the
virus has taken hold, stays in a
mans blood so much as rowing. It
is the one sport on which every
college expects to take a loss each
season, and does, yet it survived the
worst years of the depression with
out a murmur for its abolishment.
Perhaps it's because it's so
primitive sport that it gets such
grip on you," said Tom Bolles, the
Harvard coach whose first two
varsities beat Yale and whose third
was an even-money bet to do 1t
again. After all, men have been
rowing in races since the days of
Homer and, except for a few modern
improvements, it's still the same.
There's one thing about it that
gets them all and makes them row.
