During the first half Plainfield played a superior game than their opponents. The Plainfeld boys outclassed Putnam in the first stages of the game and at the end of the first half led by the score of 18 to 9. Putnam however came back in_ the second half and tied the score. From then on the game was mnip and tuck one team taking the lead and then the other. When the whistle blew Putnam led by two points.

The score was 34 to 21, but the game was closer than this score would indicate and was very interesting to the large crowd present.

Cornell met Harvard in a two-mile race on Cayuga Lake last year and the ‘Cambridge elght was victorious. Since that time Cornell rowing enthusiasts have been urging that the chief in- tercollegiate event be held at Ithaca. Some of the other colleges have not interposed serjous objections because it was s ed that the regatta might be held at a different place an- nually instead of always over the same course. The suggestion that the distance covered by the oarsmen be shortened has been favored by Coach Courtney of Cornell and Coach Aice of Colum- bia. Columbla also has admitted that a change might be advisable. A race of three and a quarter miles would be in the nature of a compromise. The trainers have asserted that the oars- men would expend just as much en- ergy in a shorted race and that the competition would be fully as keen. Morton G. Bogue, chairman of the board of stewards, sald that while no definite declsion had been reached, it was probable the race would take place next June on Vayuga Lake. Yale-Harvard Regatta.

Copper Stocks Were Again the Fore- most_Feature. New York, Feb. 11.—Irregular ten- dencies characterized today's dull and more narrow market, which bore the usual aspects of an approaching holi- day. Coppers were again the fore- most features, that group as a whole far outstripping all other issues. Utab, Butte and Superior and several less prominent stocks of the same class scored new high prices, and al- lied shares, notably American Zinc and National Lead, were higher, Zinc making an extreme gain of 4 1-2 at At 0dd intervals more seasoned is- sues, including rails, followed the course of the metals, but activity in those stocks was spasmodic at best. This was a source of disappointment to traders, some of whom had covered their short contracts yesterday, large- 1y in consequence of the brilliant show- ing of New York Central for December and the year. United States Steel was another de- terring influence, that stock being un- der obvious restraint throughout the session. At its minimum of 84 1-4 Steel showed an overnight loss of 3-4, and other industrials, especially the more active stocks in the so-called war division, were lower by one to two points, but recovered later. Mexican Petroleum and American ‘Smelting reflected effective selling of the same character as was recently noted, and Mercantile Marine pre- ferred registered a further loss on ru- mors affecting its earning capacity. High priced specialties moved errat- ically, but mainly upwards, the su- gars, Gemeral Motors, International Nickel and Texas Company raising ‘three to flve points, with seven for Bethlehem Steel preferred at 137. Rails were at their best during the mid-session, when a sudden spurt in New Haven, Reading and Lehigh Val- ley infused strength elsewhere. The movement was _short-lived, however, quotations receding rapidly on com- paratively small offerings. General apathy prevailed during the afternoon, but in the final half hour activity on an ascending scale was re- {sumed, effacing most declines and leaving a number of net gains. Total sales amounted to 565,000 shares, cop- pers contributing about 40 per cent. of the whole. Bonds were inclined to shade, An- glo-French fives and other speculative issues recording minor concessions. Total saies, par value, aggregated $3,- 920,000. United States bonds and Panamas advanced 3-8 to 1 per cent. on call during thé week.

HOWARD DREW TO TRY TO MAKE 9 IN NINE At Games in Twenty-Second Regiment Armory Tonight. Howard P. Drew, who within the last couple of weeks has done 7 1-3 seconds for 70 yards, and evens for the century, is after a new record. While in such grand form, and with such stellar sprinters as Roy Morse and Joe Loomis in the nelghborhood to spur him or to his best efforts, Drew has asked the Fordham university A A. officials to maice their special sprint at the games in the Twenty-second regiment armory, New York, tonight 90_yards.
