The Norwich and Plainfield associa. tion football teams met in their final league fixture last Sat y at Plain- fleld. Manager Oates of the Plainfleld club was gei ined to securé one vic- tory in the league at the expense of the Roses and with that end in view he journeyed to Westerly and engaged the services of six members of the fa- mous es team and with four more players from Jewett City he cer- tainly seemed to havé an invincible aggregation. When the Norwich lads arrived in Plainfield and saw the team they had to face, rigged in the Lor- rgine’s uniform, they realized they were up against it, but determined to face the music. This spirit won out for them by the score of 1 to 0. Shortly after 3 p. m. Referee Mc- Cusker of Sterling lined out the fol- lowing teams: _ Norwich—Goal, H. Finlayson; backs, Andrews and Ferguson; halves, Pilling, Caron, ‘Corners; forwards, Hilton, A. Finlayson, Brown, Manville, Parsons. Plainfield—Goal, G. Whewell; backs, Goddard and J. Whewell; halves, Jar- vis, Fife and Mefkle; forwards, Potts, L’Heureux, Whewell, 'Kenyon and A. Manville. Norwich Handicapped by Wind and Uphill. Hilton lost the toss and his men were set to play against the strong breeze and up the hill the first half. Brown kicked off and Finlayson eaught the pass and the Whites at once in- vaded the Plainfleld territory. A free against Goddard was taken by Caron, but the ball was sent behind. Play continued around Whewell's charge until his brother relieved with a long drive which got the Blues' front rank They made a short incursion Into the Whites’ half but Ferguson and company stemmed the rush. Caron placed the ball out to\the right and Hilton beating Meikle sprinted up the fleld and centered. Brown just missed scoring by Inches. Finlayson landed in a hot one which caused Whewell some anxiety but it was cleared at the FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. STANDARD OIL DECISION Reflected in the Duliness of the Ma ket—Copper Stocks Suffer Princi- pally. New York, Nov. 22.—The financial community was as little prepared to- day to make its final appraisement of the import to corporations of the ju- dicial decision against the Standard Oil company as it was in the short stock market session of Saturday after the unexpected announcement of the decisions - The disturbed tone of the market and the marked lapse into dull. ness when measures of support became effective were sufficiently significant of the importance attached to the decision and the’wish to await the final dispo- sition of the case before going forward. It is in the uncertainty thus involved that the principal harm is feared, not only for the speculative position in stocks, but for business activity. It was for this reason that all commenta- tors were agreed on the importance of an early settlement of the appeal in the case. The most hopeful view of the situation from the standpoint of corporation interests was drawn from an analogy with the case of the com- modities clause of the Hepburn law. Dire harm was predicted from this pro- vision in its early stages and during the progress of the litigation to tést it, but in its final conditional affirmation by the supreme court the speculative spirit drew actual-encouragement and made.it the basis for some sensational rise in prices, especially in the group of stocks immediately affected—the coalers. Just how the present case would be turnéd to similar goed ac- count was not made very evident, but the long line of precedeuis touching the interpretation of various issues growing out of the interstate commerce and the anti-trust laws was cited te Justify a confidence that a way would be found for the great corporations to continue to do business. A favorite citation was the fact that while the Nortnern Securities company was dis- solved by decree of the United States supreme court the merger aimed at by that formation exists in fact today. The active discussion of the situation which has been going on constantly amongst capitalists and their legal counselors ever since the news of the decision was recelved seems to be bringing a concurrence in the view that the drastic and sweeping consequences of the law as interpreted will serve to demonstrate its absurdity and bring about its modification or repeal. That such an 6utcome will be advocated on behalf of corporation interests and adopted as a common policy is a fair inference from the day’s outgivings by Standard Oil representatives them- selves ‘as well as by others in the financial district who discussed the question. There remained the unpleas- ant recollection,. however, that every other important judicial decision of questions raised under the interstate and anti-trust laws has been followed by a period of disturbance and depres- sion in the stock market, each of such periods, moréover, being considerably prolonged. The first hour of today's stock market saw a contest strenuous- ly waged between the tonflicting ele- ments in the speculation, in which the balance was fairly turned in favor of the reactionists, in spite of the most determined efforts at support. During this period of the day’'s operations well nigh half of the day's total business was transacted. It is evident, there- fore, that the demand for stocks fol- lowed the price recoveries that follow- ed the first hour with some hesitation.

A neat movement between Par- sons and Manville ended in Brown tricking Goddard and scoring the one goal which gave his side the victory. This reserve sharpened the blues, but their efforts were short lived, and the agaln reversed to their end. All the Norwich forwards had shots at goal, but their heroic efforts in the first half had weakened them somewhat. Manville scored a beauty with an over; head shot, but the referee disallow: the point on the plea of offside. The finish of a well fought game was Nor- ‘wich 1 goal, Pl 1d nil.

YALE'S GREAT SEASON. Not a Point Scored Against the Blue— Captain Coy Ties Cunmingham i Drop Kicks. Yale closed a notable football season on Saturday, winning all ten of its games without being scored on, and averaging almost 21 points a game on its opponents. Captain Coy of Yale scored 48 points. for his team, making six touchdowns and six field goals. The latter record ties the mafk made by Cunningham, Princeton’s star kicker. Three of the.college elevens are un- beaten, Yale, Lafayette and Pennsyl- vania State. Fach of the latter two has one more game to play and indi- cations are that these games will add to the string of victories. Both La- fayette and Pennsylvania State have been held to ties, and though their records look good they really are not as strong as they read. The Tigers outrushed and outplayed Lafayette and the latter won only be- causeé it blocked an attempt for a field goal and scooted up the field for the jtouchdown and the game. However, Lafayette certainly played Pennsylva- nia in fine style, and is entitled to lots of consideration for tying the Quake Touchdowns have been. scored as follows by the various elevens: Yale 32, Lafayette 30, Penn State 27, Penn- sylvania 21, Trinity 22, Harvard 17, Dartmouth 14, Princeton 14, Wesleyan 16, Brown 17, Annapolis 1j, Cornell 11, Chicago 20, Lehigh 14, Michigan 186, Villa Nova 14, Swarthmore 14, Wil- liams 11, Holy Cross 7, Fordham 12, Springfield 9, West Point 9, Vermont 9, Syracuse 8, Aggies 4, Tufts 5, Am- herst 2.

The championship of the east is set- tled in favor of Yale, now, without a doubt, and there is only one more con- test among the leading elevens. This is the match between Cornell and Pennsylvania at Philadelphia on Thanksgiving day. In the west Mich- igan can lay a pretty good claim to the championship of its section through the defeat of Minnesota on Saturday. Unfavorable reports aré sent out from both the Cornell and Pennsylva- nia camps of the condition of the men of the two teams. At Pennsylvania it Is said that a number of the men are in such bad shape that the coaches have taken the. advice of Mike Mur- phy and will give them a’chance to get lnto-ufi-pe or the final game of the season by very light svork this week. Three additional members of the Cornell varsity football teany, Sea- grave, and Weekes, were or- dered to the student jnfirmary Sun- day.

Y., Nov. 22.—The Cornell football team had signal practice to- night in the Ithaca armory. This wa: called for by the coaches because it was impossible to get the entire team out for afternoon practice today, owin; to conflicting recitation hours, which the faculty has refused to allow the football men to “cut. The team of twenty—five men will leave tomorrow night for Wayne, Pa., to remain there until the game with Pennsylvania on Thursday. It is doubtful whether Robb, Cor- nell's best halfback, or Weeks, tackle, will be able to play. The other in- Jjured men will be ready to go into the game, although some of them are not yet in first class condition. All-Eastern Football. The picking of All-Eastern football teams has begun.

Charley Adams, or “Babe” Adams, as the ball players call him because of his youth, was born in Tipton, Ind and reared on a farm near Mount Mo- riah, Mo., a little inland town. There he “skinned” mules and held the plow handles in the summer time, and in the winter attended school in the country district. He grew to be a big strapping fellow. and when Fred Coff- man, the Mount Moriah barber, or- ganized a baseball club among the boys in the neighborhood, Adams was put in as pitcher, because he had a good arm and power behind it.
