So Stewart goes around arguing
with himself along this line:
What mess" says Jimmie
Stewart. That guy James
Stewart won't release my men
for basket ball"
What do you mean?" snaps
James Stewart. Football is far
more important than basket ball.
If it wasn't for football you guys
wouldn't have basket ball teams,
any way We pay our way as we
60 along, as well as yours"
Well, there's been something of

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-At the
end of the first period of the
Penn-Cornell game yesterday. the
Penn boys hao something like 10
shots at the goal from 80 yards
or less in three games and had
scored just one touchdown. From
there on they couldn't be stopped
at least not by Cornell. Which
explains why you seldom see a
grid coach over 30 whose hair
retains its natural color. Of that
one game, our vote goes to Penn
as the best team we've seen this
season eve haven't seen Boston
College, and another vote goes
to Franklin Field as a swell place
to watch q game If you don't get
up so high the players look like

Jerry Lester rated as the best of

Presidents.
His 15-yard pass to Bobby HUFF,
followed by Don Druckenmiller

period.
His most spectacular dash was a
65-yard run for touchdown in the
third quarter after he took a pass
from Jim Sprinkle, a dash in which
he had to dodge and shake off at
least half dozen Would-be tacklers.
His other score was on a 2-yard

Sprinkle, Eddie De Celle and Myron

Stocks Remain
Slightly Mixed;
Rails Revive
Late Bids for Carriers
Laid to Rumors of
Freight Boost
BY BERNARD s. O'HARA,


Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. Feb. THE stock
market today finished fairly salts
factory week with slightly irregular
trends Notwithstanding renewed
buying in the rails.
Prices generally wavered at the
start but bids for carriers appeared
in the final hour when rumors
cropped up that favorable freight
rate decision by the Interstate Com
merce Commission was imminent.
Losses in other groups were reduced
or transformed into modest gains
here and there at the close.
The Associated Press average of
go stocks was unchanged at 379 but
on the week showed a net advance
of 0.3. Transfers of 203, ,410 shares
were among the smallest since last
October and compared with 228, 140
last Saturday. The weeks volume
of 2,301,230 shares was the lowest
since last August.
BulIish News Scarce.
Aside from wishfur thinking anent
the rails, the market had nothing
much in the way Of stimulating
news to 60 on. AS matter of fact,
early easiness was attributed to
fears of pessimistic war bulletins
from Singapore and the Philippines
over the week end. Some bidding,
though, evidently was based on the
notable lack of urgent liquidation in
the two preceding reactionary ses-
sions. The theory here was that
holdings still were in strong hands
and that any worthwhile develop
ments might find all kinds of stocks
hard to buy.
Among stocks emerging with
modest fractions in the two-hour
stretch were Santa Fe. N. Y. Gen.
trail, Pennsylvania, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Great Northern,
Nickel Plate preferred, Republic
Steel, Woolworth, General Motors,
Chrysler, American Smelling, Du
Pont, General Electric and Stand
ard OIL IN. j.. Firestone Tire was
an exception with an upturn Of 1as.
On the losing side for minor
amounts were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, American Telephone.
Western Union, Texas Co, Anacon-
da, Kennecott. United States Rub
Der, Consolidated Edison, Interna-
tional Harvester. Douglas Aircraft
and Youngstown Sheet.
Curb Market Uneven.
In mixed curb slightly higher
tendencies were shown by American
Gas. Brewster Aero and Electric
Bond & Share. A shade down were
American Cyanamid, E. w. Bliss and
Beech Aircraft. The aggregate here
was around $4,000 shares versus
$4,000 a week ago.
A more hopeful appraisal Of the
chances Of the Allies in the far Pa
cific helped put the big board up on
average Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday. A big batch Of l94l earn
ings statements revealing the ability
Of number of companies to over
come heavy tax charges also was
a bolstering influence. Trends began
to give way Thursday and profit
taking in the rails on Friday Clipped
down prices generally.

Truders' Cautious Due

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. Light SELL
ing was enough to push cotton fu-

bale today as traders adopted a
cautious attitude because of Com
modify Credit Corp. offerings and
the week end.
Mill buying against orders tended
to support some deliveries, but were
insufficient to balance fully profit
taking and hedging.
Spot sales were reported small in
the South, apparently a reaction to
the Commodity Credit Corps an
nounced intention of increasing
premiums for long staple cotton
under the 1912 loan program. The
step was seen in the trade as. an
encouragement to growers to shift
to types needed for military textiles.
