Notre Dame Off I. U. Grid Card for 1932 Campaign
By Times Special. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Dec. I. Cheered by the improvement shown by the Crimson warriors near the close of the 1931 season and the fact that only three regulars are lost by graduation, Indiana university already is looking forward to the 1932 football season. Another tough schedule, almost equal to the 1931 “suicide” card which included eight conference games and battle with Notre Dame, national champions, and Ohio U., two years’ unbeaten Buckeye Conference title winners, has been arranged and was announced today. Six straight Big Ten games are carded after the opening struggle

As an example Mr. Blank has an average of 175, and can not roll, his team instead of using a blind score uses Mr. Blanks average and the result appears. Blank 175. 175, 175. But two teams, the Baxter and Mason, were able to win three games in te Kiwanls League, Baines and Meyer being the victims. Woodman, Kellar, Bockstahler, Clark and McGaughey won two from Roberts, Erk. Fecthman, Cox and Selmier during the other sets. These games were rolled on the Indiana alleys.

evidence of any trouble with his lungs.” Medical authorities admit, unofficially, that for Booth to engage in violent exercise for a long period—years perhaps, depending upon the rapidity of his recuperation—would be tempting permanent disability. The versatility that made Booth a star at football, basketball, baseball and hockey conspired to strike him down in his hour of triumph—after Yale’s victory over Harvard which he had won by his dropkicked field goal in his last year as a Yale player.

WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. I.—The stock market was given a vigorous shakeout today, losses ranging to more than 5 points. Short covering brought the list up somewhat. The whole market plunged to new lows on the present decline and a long list of issues, including United States Steel, made new lows for the major bear movement. Fair resistance was shown after another wide break in sterling, but when wheat opened sharply lower at Chicago, the stock list crumpled under moderate offerings. Steel touched 51% ex-dividend, off 4%, and anew low since 1915. American Can was driven to 65%, off 4%; American Telephone 124%, off 4%; Case 37, off 3; New York Central 28%, off 2%; Allied Chemical 72%, off 5, and Auburn Auto 103%, off 7%. Heavy selling in Paramount broke that issue to 7%, off 2% and a record low. Radio-Keith-Orpheum hit a record low at 1%, off % and Radio Corporation equaled its low at 7%, off %. Paramount rallied to 9. Several wide breaks occurred in the railroad section in inactive issues. Rennsselaer & Saratoga shot down 15 points to 115 and Colorado & Southern dropped 331-3 points and rallied partially from the lows around noon. Trading turned quiet on the recovery with the bears apparently afraid of trying further selling. Bonds firmed up from their lows after further reactions in the railroad sector. Cotton sold off about 50 cents a bale.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 30—The better tone of the grain and cotton markets, and lessened pressure on the railroad shares, contributed to the improved feeling reflected in the somewhat irregular recovery of stocks. The fact that the market developed resistance at a point where several leading composite stock averages duplicated the lows of Oct. 5, attracted attention. While it would be premature to assume that this action had any unusual significance beyond reflecting an oversold condition, nevertheless, it favorably influenced sentiment. The news was more or less a secondary factor. Another sharp decline of sterling to anew low since England abandoned gold payments was disregarded. Nor was the lack of response in the bond market, where German governments were at new lows and domestic railroad bonds easier, given much consideration. The market appeared to be more concerned with the evidence that liquidation of the railroad shares had subsided. Reports were current, although unsubstantiated that the Canadian arbitration board would make a favorable decision for the railroads on the question of wage reductions. Naturally such an event would have some influence in shaping opinion at the meeting of the union leaders at Chicago Dec. 8. The railroad securities have been the real sore spot in the market, and if it established that pressure there has definitely ceased, it would materially improve financial and commercial sentiment.

In the Cotton Markets
(Bv Thomson <fc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Nov. 30— Although English cables were better today* the decline in sterling was supposed to offset it. Those who expected lower prices, however, were mistaken. The market opened about unchanged and after advancing 12 or 13 points, was still 5 points above Saturday's close at mid-day. The south was selling little or nothing. Prices in outside markets seemed to have lost their influence to a certain extent, and the fact that most of the strength was in the near months gave the market an air of security that has been missing during most of the time since the last bureau day. News was neither here nor there, as far as freshness goes. The south is holding its cotton and undoubtedly expects some helpful legislation from congress. Our opinion is the same. We think well of the staple and rely solely on the price, which looks cheap to us. CHICAGO —NOV. 30— Htgh. Low. Close.

REGENT GAINS LOST AS SALES HIT GRAIN PITS Failure of Liverpool to Hold Upturn Turns Futures Off. BY HAROLD E. RAIXVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Dec. I.—Wheat reacted sharply as the Board of Trade opened today with Monday’s gains all but wiped out. The early strength at Liverpool due to th lower exchange and continued bad weather in Argentina, faded toward the late afternoon. Weakness in stocks at the opening was another depressing factor. Com followed wheat downward with December weakest on liquidation. Oats was easy with the major grains. At the opening wheat was % to r* cents lower, corn was % to 1% cent off, oats % to % cents down and rye was 1% cents lower. Provisions were weak. Chicago Grain Range —Dec. 1— WHEAT— Prev. High.
