0 Boston, In a closly- untested game in which-the forward pass was the only means by which either side could gain, Middlebury nosed out a football victory over Boston University yesterday afternoon at Braves Field, 7 to 0. Middle-bury's single touchdown was made in the first period, when Brigham, left end, received a forward pass thrown by Leonard Boston University's line. Leonard kicked the goal. The two teams were of equal weight and played fast football. Boston University lost its only chance to score in the fourth period, when O'Hare on the 10-yard line, with a clear route to Mlddleburys line, missed a forward pass thrown by Jacobs.

Boston University kicked off to start the game. Ashley ran the ball back 10 yards and, on the next play went through the B. U. line for another 10. Middlebury was penalized five for offside play and was forced to kick.

Middlebury recovered the ball on downs and Ashley tore-off the only long run of the game, a 25-yard dash round left end. Leonard then heaved his forward to Brigham, who received it' standing behind line. Leonard kicked the TUFTS 7, NORWICH 0 Medford, Oct. 17- Tufts defeated Norwich on the Oval Saturday afternoon' 7 to' 0, the lone score being made in the first minute of play.

line and ran through a broken field for a touchdown. Martin, acting captain in place of Keefe, kicked the goal. In the first half both sides confined themselves to old-fashioned line bucking, but in the second half each uncorked an aerial game which promised much, but which did not result in a score.

LEXIXE'S TROUBLES GROWING (From the Brooklyn Eagle) Russian news is notoriously unreliable, but confirmation of recent reports oi frouble betwen Lenine and the Red army Is to be found in the text of the armistice terms between Poland and Russia, now made public, Those terms were dictated by Poland and are so severe that Lenine would never have agreed to them if things had been going well. The Bolshevik! have not hesitated In the past to barter the territory of otd Russia fof anything they wanted, but they would never give up so much as the new terms1 specify without good reason. I That reason may be Indicated by re-' ports of difficulties developing, through-' out the country. Within the past few days revolts against the Soviet govern ment have been reported from Omsk Petrograd.

Nizhni Novgorod and other Maces. To-day General Buuenny, th Cossack leader whose efforts were re-' sponsible for the victory over the Poles, some months ago, is said to have deserted the Reds and to be organising aw Independent anti-Bolshevist force to seize Kleff. Semenoff in Siberia Is also- report ed to have recognised General Wrangel and to be co-operating with htm. Whether any or all of these reports) are well founded It is impossible) to say, but if there is any troth in them 1 would explain Lenine's ytooeptance of, Poland's terms and his reported appeal for peace from General Wrangel. Tha tatter's minimum terms are known to bsj the recognition of his authority In all the territory he occupies In southern Russia.

With both Poland and Wrangel satisfied, Lenine may hope to maintain himself for a while longer. That he wilt be able to do so is becoming mors doubt-. ful every day. Communism will have to face Its real test when Russia la at peaca and the Red army is demobilised. Few observers believe that It can long sur vive under such conditions.

By Edwin i FlIBLt; Several Interesting Events In- dieations That Con traction Is Ending New Tort Oct. IT The week in the financial markets was replete with Interesting events, whjich Included payment of the greater part of the outstanding balance of the Anglo-French half billion dollar loan and a strong' investment inquiry for hew capital issues approximating 9100,000.000.

No less important in their bearing upon the Immediate future of the securities markets were the many surface indications that the prolonged period of credit contraction is approaching a natural conclusion. It is almost a year that the Federal Reserve Board began to put the brakes on speculation -by the steady withdrawal of funds for non-essential That period has witnessed a drastic revision of commodity prices and reduction of loans, 'with inestimable benefit, it is claimed, to finance and industry. Further price cutting and a strengthening of the investment situation continue to go hand in hand, taking last week's bond market as a Criterion. Dealers reported a marked increase in private or unrecorded sales of high grade bonds on an ascending scale. In the stock market rails of all classes were again the dominent issues.

Shares of recognized worth and dividend record mostly moved to higher levels, especially the coalers, while low grade or reorganised properties gained ground, mainly on their potential values. The devious course of various favorite industrial stocks was generally ascribed to the many uncertainties which continue to beset the steel and iron trade, likewise copper, textile, leather and kindred raw -and finished materials. It is highly probable, that discussions absorbing interest and significance will engage the attention of leading producers at the conferences of the American Iron and Steel Institute, to be held in this city the latter part of the coming week. The reactionary trend of foreign, exchange was governed chiefly by the more ominous -aspects of industrial conditions in the British Isles. Moderate selling here for Amsterdam "account resulted from financial readjustments now proceeding in the Xetherlands.

Weekly Metal Review New York, Oct. 18. That iron and steel products cannot compete abroad at this time as a result of adverse exchange and keen competition from British, Belgian and German sources was the opinion expressed in export circles lately. Overseas demand, as with the trend In the domestic market, is stagnant. Prices continue to look down, but more radical price cuts are held up by makers to protect old contracts.

Production is near normal and shipments as well, but new buying is SO per cent lower. Foreign trade in pig iron has tapered down to almost insignificant proportions. As with steel, buying of iron by both overseas and domestic consumers remain extremely dull and prices rule easy though the decline has been severe as furnaces are sold far of coke is very IightC but prices remain stiff as car placements and output are much lower. The only business being done in copper is by smaller agencies in the open trade who have cut prices to a level below 37 cents. Buying is limited as consumers appear to be well covered, and the makers have withdrawn from the market temporarily, stating that they cannot compete with the low quotations without heavy losses.

They are cutting operations 50 per cent. Production last was reported to be at least 11 ,000, WO pounds below that in August and further curtailment is expected this month. The critical development in the British coal strike has resulted in unusual depression here, enhanced by slack demand and large stocks, and the market went off three cents to the lowest level since pre-war days 39 cents pound. Lead continues weak "owing to absence nf business and growing importations. Holders offered lately at 7.40 cents a pound here and lower in the takers.

The leading interests still quote seven and three-fourths cents New York, nominally. Zinc, liflTe copper and tin, is in the doldrums. With demand extremely slack, and holders cutting prices daily without attracting buyers. Prices have slumped to 7.30 cents Bast St. Louis and 10 to 13 points higher in the East.

Ore prices are also easy and output is curtailed as a result. Antimony is featureless and lack of interest on the part of the buyers has depressed prices to six and five-eighths rents. CLOSING QUOTATIONS (Furnished by the Associated Press) Oct. 15 Oct. It Am.

A LEAGUE OF NATIONS Both Taft and Hoover Vphold Seaator Harding is His (From the Boston Herald) A hasty reading of the newspaper reports of Senator Harding's speech at Des Moines last week has created the Impression in some minds that Mr.

Hard ing had changed his attitude upon a League of Nations, and was no longer In favor of any association of the nations In the interest of peace. The text of the speech shows that, on the contrary, he reaffirmed his wish and purpose to help In bringing about such an association. and gave this promise: "As soon as possible after my election. I shall advise with the best minds in the United States, and especially I shall con sult In advance with the Senate, with whom, by the terms of the Constitution, I shall indeed be bound to counsel, and without whose consent, no such International association can be formed. I shall do this to the end that we shall have an association of nations for the promotion of international peace, but one which shall so definitely safeguard our sovereignty and recognise our ultimate and unmortgaged freedom of action that it will have back of it.

not a divided and distracted sentiment, but the united support of the American people." Candidate Cox has professed to be anxious to know how ex-President Taft can support Senator Harding, In view of his attitude on the League of Nations. In a despatch from Vancouver on Sunday, Mr. Taft says that, while he was personally In favor of the League of Nations, and would have been willing to accept It. Article X. and all.

he was "bitterly disappointed" when the President did not accept the Senate reservations. There must now be some compromise, and Mr. Taft thinks that "It may very well be that the kind of league Senator Harding supports will form the baais of the compromise." And he adds: "I believe that the election of Senator Harding will mean the adoption of a League of Nations with reservations and the ending of all further dispute." Herbert Hoover, it appears from an address at Indianapolis, reported in yesterday's Herald, is of the same opinion as Mr. Taft. He believes that the responsibilities of government should be transferred, and that the Republican party has the skill sad constructive ability to meet them; and he arraigns the Wilson administration In these true and vigorous words: "To have obstinately held up the peace of the world for 18 months to have rejected the opportunity of amicable adjustment of differences as to methods; to have projected tha Issue Into the presidential election, is the1 greatest failure of American statesimfhshlp since the Civil War.

WRITE PAPERS BY HAND Publisher of Shanarhat Kens Telia IMf- fcTcncca Typcw liter Lack Character (From the New Tork Post) A newspaper office in China may a good deal like one in New Tork or any other American city, according to the editor of Shun Pao (which may be interpreted as the Shanghai Dally News), the oldest newspaper In the country. At the Langwell hotel) In Forty-fourth street, P. K. Chu told an interesting story tor day of the beginning of the paper in 1872 and the manner of its publication now in the very modern seven-story building erected for it two years ago. The building itself waa designed by an American architect, G.

F. Asheley of the China Realty company, and much of the equipment is from a New York concern. There is a modern rotary press and spe cial departments for making stereos, elec tros, and half-tones. And there are other things much more unexpected a billiard room, a roof garden, and a barber shop, for instance, adjuncts which the average American newspaper man Scarcely expects to find at his office.
