NEW YORK, Mar. g. The
stock market this week came
within short distance of estab-
fishing a new, high mark for
the past "a years.
The Associated Press average
Of so stocks in it's second strong
est showing of this year adj
Vanced to $116.20. At that point
the market was only 10 cents
under the 1854 high mark of
January S, 1858. That was the
best since June 4, 1930-nearly
"A years ago.
The strength shown by the
market as measured by the
averages was surprising because
of the many little things that
appeared to detract from the
performance. Most of these
things were technical and bulls
have a habit of brushing them
aside as worthy Of little con-
sideration.

led many to believe that the
market is capable Of swinging
into a spring rally before it
faces the necessity Of consider
ing a wide readjustment Of
values.
There is still the stumbling
block of March is. If enough
people find it necessary to sell
stocks for cash to meet income
tax payments this coming week,
that might provide an excuse for
the market to start backing
down. March Is is certainly a
psychological barrier.
But continued strength could
work right on into a spring rally

lieye.

Tennis Brass Seeks
Facts After Rumors
OF Players HoIdups
BY The Associated Press

NEW YORK, July ga
cloak and-dagger investigation
into the methods by which anna
teur tennis players collect their
expenses was In full swing to-
day with the Tennis Players
League and the United States
Lawn Tennis Association "just
looking for the facts"
It all came about as a result
Of the cancellation Of the big
Baltimore Country Club fixture
which had been scheduled for
next week. Rumors that Balti-
more tourna m ent officials
claimed they were being held up
for too much money by some Of
the top amateurs in the country
were making the rounds. So
they dropped the whole thing to
the chagrin of one and all.
Trabert Denies Fault.
Tony Trabert, the No. / player
In the United States. was the
first to deny that he had done
any wrong. He dropped out Of
the Baltimore tournament and is
playing in the Colorado Open in
Denver.
The man who holds the an
swers probably is William e.
Lafnble. chairman Of the tourna-
ment.
IF the charges / have been
reading are true" said Renville
McMann, vice president Of the
USLTA and guiding hand behind
the Nationals at Forest Hills,
"then discipline is In order.
We've got to clean up this
situation. We are looking for
the facts and when we ind them
we win act. ! have been trying
to reach tournament officials in
Baltimore. II the players are
wrong, they are going to know
about 1t and the same, holds
true for the club. We want
names and figures"
Calls League Meeting.
Sidney Wood and his Tennis
Players League, which has been
feuding with the USLTA. also
is getting into the act. Wood
has called q meeting next Fri
day during the Meadow Club
tournament. presumably to find
the culprit.
Until the Meadow Club In
Southampton, N. Y. decided to
lengthen its entry list, the tour
ing players had no place TO 60
next week. sss
Some Of us would have had
to rig UP q couple Of exhibitions
on Long Island or starve.' said

champion.

W&L Out Of Football
Until Il Can Return
On Amateur Basis
BY the Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Va, July "a
Washington and Lee University,
a charter member Of the South
ern Conference and football
champion of the circuit in 1884
and 1850. has abandoned inter-
collegiate football until such q
time as it can be relestablished
on IAN amateur basis" with
schools Of q like mind.
Cancellation OF the Generals
1854 football schedule and an
end to athletic subsidization
were announced late yesterday
by Francis p. Gaines. W6sL pres
ident, after a meeting of the
schools Board of Trustees in
Washington.
Although a straw in the wind
had been tossed out July z by
the Board of Trustees Athletic
Committee. which voted to con-
tinue football, but said q de-
emphasis program would begin
as soon as possible. yesterdays
action caught this college town
by surprise.
Coach Also Surprised.
Head Football Coach Carl
Wise, signed to a three-year
contract in February, 1868, was
visiting friends in Washington.
unaware of the situation.
This is rather sudden" Wise
said, then deferred any further
statement until he returns here
and talks with university off,
Gals. DR.. Gaines left Washing
ton for Wilmington, DEL. with
out additional comment. Other
officials here declined comment
or were not available.
Wiped out by yesterdays ac-
ton was a nine-game schedule
opening September Is against
West Virginia and including
l Z
William and Mary. Virginia Tech.
Pennsylvania, Richmond. David
son, Virginia. George Washing
ton and Vanderbilt.
Cancellation of this years
schedule had been limited sew
eral times because only II foot
! ball veterans were available for
1854 because Of academic fail
ures and a recent cribbing scan
dial that sharply reduced the
squad.
Won on Freshman Issue.
But wall had led a success
full battle in the spring meeting
Of the Southern Conference to
have freshmen made eligible for
varsity athletics, and Coach Wise
was counting on freshmen to
I'LL the gaps.
The Generals had fielded an
intercollegiate football team
since 1890 with the exception Of
the war years OF 1943-44-45. The
1850 team that won the confer
ence title went on to the Gator
Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. and
lost to Wyoming on January /,
1851. The sport had declined
since then.
A resolution adopted by the
Board Of Trustees yesterday said
all schools had been notified Of
W8zL's intention to cancel its
1854 football slate and also had
been told the school will fulfill
schedules in all other sports.
The resolution added that
WSSL will consider "the possi-
,, bility of re-establishing inter-
collegiate football upon an anna
teur basis" when it finds any
other schools that are willing to
give up football subsidization. In
addition, the board said mo
other athletic scholarships twil)
be awarded beyond those already
committed"
