KING Tad Jones, coach at Yale, can be given the title of the Miracle Man of Foot- ball after the thrilling season which the Blue eleven just finished in de- feating Princeton, then the.following week cleaning up Harvard, the famous Percy Haughton system. This system which has been intact since 1910 and one which seemed to be staple was smashed by Jonem, a new- comer in the head coaching world. Although the Yale team was noth- Ing extra and not in line for the sea- son’s championship honors, Tad Jones performed a feat in teaching the Yale men his system right after Frank Hin- key had drilled them in his methods. Through his strategy Jones whipped Into shape an eleven that was not re- markably stocked with brilllant ma- terial. Jones drilled_his pupils in the art of following the ball closely which played a strong part in the Prince- ton and Harvard victories. GREENEVILLE ELEVEN TO PLAY AT JEWETT CITY Borough Team Ready for Thanksgiv- ing Morning Contest. Thanksgiving morning on Faust's lot the Jewett City football team will play the fast Greeneville team instead of the West Ends as first announced. Because of injurles to the backfield recelved in Sunday’s game the West Ends had to cancel the game. How- ever they will appear in Jewett City later. Greeneville proinises to ‘have MARKET WAS DEPRESSED. On Attotude of Federal Reserve oBard Toward Foreign Securities. New York, Nov. 28—The attitude of the federal reserve board respecting the further free acceptance by nation- al banks of foreign securities based upon was emergencies was the all-per- vading subject of discussion in finan- clal circles today. Various interpre- tations were placed upon this import- ant act and speculative sentiment was distinctly depressed. Marketwise, one of the direct results was observed in the lower trend of international loans floated in this country since the outbreak of the war. Virtually all isues of that description were heavy. Paris 5's declined 1 1-4 points to the low record of 96 3-8. Denials from authoritative quarters of any serious peace negotiations were without beneficial effect upon foreign remittances, exchange rates to Ger- many and_Austria_undergoing further attrition, Withi“& ‘Mateffal ing of rubles. B Local and interior financial institu- tions were in accord in quoting higher rates for time loans and call money rose to ¢ per cent., duplicating the high rats of the year, albeit the inquiry for accommodations of this character di- minished perceptibly. A There was no material diminution of operations, sales again approximating 1,230,000 shares, but the great bulk of the day’s trading took place in the first ‘and ‘final hours, with intermediate pe- riods of apathy. Lowest prices were made towards the close, the list'then showing some unsettlement on rumors of another marine disaster involving possible international complications. Extreme recessions of one to three points were registered Ty equipments, coppers and other etals, sugars, pe- troleums, motors and industrials com- prising the steel and iron class. U..S. Bteel was relatively steady, but Bethe- lem Steel fell 25 points on a single transaction. § Rails were the backbone of the mar- ket, only nominal recessions occurring in that division, these being offset by the comparative strength of Reading and other coalers. Raflway and industrial bonds were frregular on reduced dealings. Total sales (par value), were $4,650,000. U. S. bonds were unchanged on call, but coupon fours fell 3-8 per cent. on sales.

AMERICAN LEAGUE TO CUT PLAYERS' SALARIES Ban Johnson Says We Will Have to Return to a Round Basis. Chicago, Nov. 28.—Salaries of base-)| ball players in the American league re Federal league will be sharply duced, B. B. Johnson, president of the league, announced today. The game was conducted in an extravagant man- ner during the fight with the Federal league, President Johnson said, and all expenses connected with the oper- ation of the sport next season will be curtailed. “Now that -the trouble is over,” he asserted, “we will have to .return to 2 sound basis—one where men who have.invested their money in‘ the game stand a chance of obtaining a fair re- turn. There will be no renewal of high salaried ‘war® contracts. .The players must understand that. We will agree on.a new.contract at the annual meet- Ing of the American League here Dec. 14 that will be fair to all concerned. It will be equitable to the. player and to the club owner. ‘Western football critics claim Chick Hartley, the dashing right half back of .the championship Ohio State eleven of the Northwest, is eligible for the stellar eleven. § i Erie 2 Erie 1st_pf Naston W & W General Electrie General Motor pf Granby Min Gt Noc ctta Gt” North'n pf Greene Can’nea Gulf Sttes Steel Gulr Stotes Gult State Steel 2 pf Wadvester Corp of _ . aoy'- Hacvester Dlinois Central Inspiration Cop Interboro Con Int Ag Comp pf Interw’l Nickel Intern’l Paper Kansas City So Kan City So pf Eells _Tire Laclede Gas Lee Tire Maxwell Motor Maxwll Motor pr Mazwell .

Within a few days the intercolleg- iate football season will have closed. It is. well at this time to consider what this vear's play has brought forth in order to see if the game may be improyed. ‘The main advance made in 1816 has been®in good sportsman- ship and good feelings between rival teams. - The gentleman, it is well proven, can win games, or take a de- feat with equal grace. On the whole the season has been full of surprises, due to a more widespread knowledge of the principles of footbail on many fields. - Certainly, if anything, football has become more popular for the rea- son that it is a decidedly more spec- tacular contest than in the past. Pri- marily, the open attack, or forward passing, has been the cause of this. It is decidedly the most thrilling play tootball has ever had. Granting that, what are we going to} do about the forward pass There is a_tendency to reduce its possibilities 2s a weapon on attack which is bal- anced, in a measure, by the belief, and a correct one, that the light team which is forced to use it more than the heavy team, is not able to fight on equal terms with the heavy team.

Had the season rroven otherwise, had it proved that skiliful, light players could, with this attack, cope on equal terms with skillful, heavy players, featuring the ‘tunning attack, the forward pass would have had days ahead. This is because the larger universities prac- tically control the Football Rules com- mitlee and the larger universities have, as a rule, the good, big plavers who are best fitted to rush the ball.

United Tea Importers 218 Main Street Tho future of the worward passes merely - a matter of whether the feel- Ing is uppermost that a small and skillful team should have an equal chance with a large eleven. If this is the opinion of the men who make football rules then the forward pass Is coming. into,its own. If this is not the view held by the majority of these men the open attack will not be permitted to give the team skilled in it an even chance .with the big eleven which uses the rushing game as the groundwork of its attack. Of course the big team which has mastered a varied attack, that is one which can rush or pass with equal ability, is the ideal combination. But football has produced too few of these clevens. The season just ending, as have all previous seasons, since the pass was born, is no exception, al- though there was more passing in the east. As the rules stand today they favor the running game. There is no ques- tion of this. Indeed, the whole theory Of the present game shows it. The game today is to keep the ball in the opponent’s” territory. 'Now a running attack can be used when a team is under the shadow of its own goal free of danger, except for fumbling. But the passing attack—no. The legis lation governing the forward pass is such that it can be recovered by the defending team. Such a recovery near the goal line either results in a touchdown by the opposition or places the team which forward passed on the defense near its goal-line. No matter how skilifull an eleven may be at pass- Ing it dare not try it in its own terri- tory for this reason. Let me illus- trate by an example which, though several vears old, will-suffice. Harvard, using a powerful running attack and possessing a heavier team, defeated Washington & Jefferson in 1914, 10-9. W. & J. could rarely gain possession of the ball in Harvard's territory in order to use its passes ef- fectively and without danger. In con- sequence, W. & Juwas forced to play @ defensive game. ' On attack, in Har- vard's territory,” it was able to gain consistently, but it could not get the ball in that part of the field a suffi- cient number of times to have a chance at winning. True, the legislation governing the pass is the same between the two goal lines, but a team using it in the op- position’s territory can afford to take the chance of it being caught by the opposition. If the forward pass is to be put on equal terms with the running attack In the mgtter of legislation all passes ‘not caught or fumbled by the attack- Ing teara should be incompleted. Fum- bled passes should go first to the team recovering them, just as all other fumbles do. But the team passing— If the two plans of advancing the ball are to be even—should not lose pos- tession of the ball when the opposi- tion catches it. This, then, should be an_incompleted forward pass. Such a rule, while radical to many, Is the simple way of cleafing the way for tlie: forward pass. If the football solons think the game should be more evenly balanced - between light and heayy men all that.is needed is legis- lation i to this efféct. -If they think otherwfse thén‘fsuch a rule will not be pasded: It is all a matter of opin- ton. work with he will' oppose such a,rule. On the other hand, -it-his materal is ‘it is human for the coach to lighit, wish for such legislation. ‘Whatever is done the pass should upon it. The public, footba]l bill, likes the open attack, her: kind of football has ever given otl the spectator..

[ know that the development of the forward pass calls for more thought on the part of the coach than the run- ning attack, and that, even granting this fact, it makes the game a better one for the player. He has more re- eponsibility, and must assert more skill and initiative. On the whole the contest becomes a battle between play ers rather than one between coaches, After. all, 1t might be well to direct the game in this direction. An even break with the result resting almost entirely in the hands of the contes- tants is about the kind of sport Amer- ican boys need. Good sportsmanship, gentlemanly conduct and clean pla: all depending on the player’s initiative, are pretty good lines to follow in_shap- Ing the destiny of intercollegiaté foot- ball. Boys should be taught that the size of the brain, not the sige of hte body, wins victory. (Lopyrighted 1916, by Sol Metzer.)
