NEW YORK, January 2—Officials of the Military and Naval Academies have reached a satisfactory agreement on questions which resulted in & break in athletic relations in 1927 and will resume their annual foot ball game next Fall on a regular basis. All matters were threshed out at meetings in New York this week be- tween athletic heads of the two serv- ice schools and although the naval delegation did not have authority to sign contracts that matter is expected | to be attended to shortly. | Navy Abandons Position, Exact details were not learned, but it was understood Navy abandoned its position that Army must abide by col- legiate rules limiting a foot ball player to only three years of college com- petiticn ‘The original break come over Navy's demand that this rule be put in effect at West Point. Army authcrities always have held that so long as a player is a cadet in good standing at the Millitary Academy he is eligible for intercollegiate athletic competition even if he had played three years of college foot ball before entering the academy. The two Service Schools have met at foot ball the last two years for charity, Army winning in 1920 by 6-0, and in AH31 by 17-7. It has been freely pre- dicted for some time that the good | feclings engendered by trese two meet- ings would lead to a resumption of relations. Straw Vote Shows Feeling.

Figures submitted to the Senate by leading banking houses indicate profits running high into the millions have been made by floating foreign bonds in the United States since the war. Tabulations of the deals, untotaled because of overlapping transactions and incomplete accounting in some direc- tions, show one firm alone made more than $29,000,000 in the sale of $5,625,« 000,000 of such bonds. All banks par- ticipating in disposition of $1,071,« 000,000 of this total made more than $37,500,000 gross profits. If this rate held good for the entire amount, some- thing like $200,000,000 in profits went to American banks.

Lamont of this firm told the com- mittee gross profits were not shown on the books. The figures given the Senate showed $815,467,000 of bonds gone into default during the past year.
