FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL MARKET WAS REACTIONABY. New York, Nov. 24.—The reactionary trend of prices on fhe stock exchange to- . In which many feaders cancelled a tantial part of their recent recover- les, suggested that financial conditions imposed further revision of quoted Val- ues. Dealings were much smaller than on any previous day of the week , for which tomorrow's holiday was P re- sponsible. The confidence manifested by the short interest, however, evident- Iy had its justification in the ease with which the market receded. Money conditions remained easy Wwith an abundance of call joans at 6 per cent. and more liberal offerings of time funds and purchases of merchant's paper, but industrial and commercial advices mere- 1y confirraed the growing conviction of an inevitable slackening of trade. Further cancellations of merchandise were Teferred to by banking interests as ome of the evils confronting the domestic bus situation and the sharp decline in imports of luxuries threw an interest- ing sidelight on the attitude of the buy- ing public. Steel mills reported more cancellations on finished contracts and sales of copper for home consumption t 41 cents, the lowest price eme decline of almost 9 points Gulf affected other shippings -2 points. ,Representative in- cased 1 to & points with oils « and rails of the speculative ment groups lost 1 to 3 1-2 cases rallies of 1 to 2 at the close, Pittsburgh a making an actual gain s on large dealings.

Today's game, will give the Academy an_ opportunity to try some of their trick plays, in prepara- tion of their game Saturday with Vo- cational. The probable lineup for today's game will be: Croker, center; Brown and Wellington, guards; Marshall and Sage, tackles; Quintillian and Young, ends. Whitney, quarterback; Williams, Reid and Boynton, backs. Also there is an ample supply of subs. The nucleus of the All Collegian cleven at_Yale has been holding daily signal and dummy practice for the past two . weeks. As all the members of the team are in training for either a minor or major sport they will be in excellent condition for the holiday game. In the backfielq Captain Lynch and Reinacher, former Academy and Bulk- eley stars respectively, will occup/ the halfback_positions. Levin, the husky guard of the N. be the plunging back with Brewer at quarter. R. V. Horigan, second string center of Dr. Bull's_ squad at Y should show up well at this position. The ends will be Hussey and Macinini, both of very high calibre, having Kearney and A. Horigan as their co- operating partners at the tackles. Co- hen and De Vane, the guards, are play- ers of outstanding ability and of un- usual aggressiveness. Cohen was for- merly a star guard at a university in California but an injury received two years ago has handicapped his play- ing considerably. However, without doubt he will perform splendidly and his ability to kick should aid the elev- en greatly, De Vane, the other guard, was captain of the freshman team at Forman college in Sputh Carolina and is a fine defensive linesman. With the above lineup Coach Me- Kay's charges can be assured of a stiff fray and those present will witness a game seldom seen in these parts. GORNELL-PENN.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 25, 1920 < = SPCRTING NO1ES. Philadelphia this winter is to have a season of indoor football with night games, according to an announcement by Joseph P. Maguire, manager of the Sec- ond City troop eleven. The games will be played in the drill hall of the new cavalry armory in West Philadelphia on an oval lacking only five yards of the regulation distance between the goal posts. In order to give the proper space for catching forward passes back of the goal line it was necessary to reduce the distance between tre posts to 9 yards. The playing surface is tanbark and the huge vaulted roof will permit the loftiest punts. Lieut. Com. Jonas H. Ingram, football coach at the Annapolis naval academy from 1910 to 1912, has been engaged to assist in coaching the University of Cali- fornia team for the game California ex- pects to play against an eastern eleven at Pasadena New Year's day.

Max Houser, star halfback of the 1919 Lafayette college fooall team, will enter Georgia Tech shortly after the Thanks- iving recess. He did not return to La vette this fall, going to Yale instead. Two changes in the rules of the Inter- collegiate Baskgtball league were an- nounced recently. “Ihe first will permit a player who has been taken out of the game at any time to be sent back later, provided he Las not committed four per- sonal fouls, which zutomatically result in his disqualification for the entire game. The second change provides that after a “held bali" bereath the basket, tae ball shall be brought out to the 15-foot line | and tossed up. The suggestion recently advanced by Percy D. Haughton that a forward pass blocked behind the line of scrimmage be subject to recovery like a blocked kick has not been met with favor by many coaches. William H. (Lig Bill) Edwards, former Princeton captain, said: “If they keep on changing tiae rules, they will kil the game. Chick Mieehan, Syracuse coach, declared that the suggestion, if adopted, would tend to make the zame less open because passes would be more daage1ous and light elevens would be handicapped.

P.)—President-clect Harding . came through the Panama camal from Cris- tobal to the Pacific co: today and, crossing into the republic of Panama, exchanged with President Porras per-| sonal felicitations. Mr. Harding also expressed a warm hope for better rela- tions between the United States and Panama. Although declaring that he acted pure- Iy as a private citizen in making an in- formal call during his vacation visit 1o the canal zome, the president-elect con- veyed in an earnest manner to the Pan- aman executive his desire to see Panama established firmly in the affection of her southern neighbors. Later President Porras came across the boundary and on American territory told Mr. Harding that he warmly reciprocated these desires. The trip through the canal was in the nature of an inspection of the oper-‘ion of the waterway. in which Mr. H g ing has shown unusual interest. He ‘wsked many questions about the pracjical prob- lem of the canal management/ and dur- ing the stop at the @atun lock exam- ined the details of its operation minfite- 1y. The journey across the Isthmus was made on the mine layer Graham, which was furnished by the zone authorities. The president-elect was accompanied by Governor Harding of the canal zone, General Admirai Johnson, Wil- liam J American minister to Panana enor Alfare, the Pana- man foreign minister. The trip took up most of the day. Mr. Harding left the ship at the Pedro Miguel lock and com- pleted the crossing of the isthmus on a special _train. . The Panaman officials made a formal affair out of Mr. Harding's visit to Pan- ama City. A platoon of police was as- signed to escort him to the palace, where President Porras received him in state. The return call of the Panaman ypresi- dent was made to Mr. Harding at the American legation. Later Mr. Harding held an informal public reception there. Tonight the president-elect took din- ner privately at the home of Governor Harding in Balboa. He is stonping at the hotel in Ancon, where he will remain until Friday.
