All the Big Colleges Have
Foot Ball Games Today.
PRACTICING Il lard
MORE THAN 5000, 900 PEOPLE SAW
BALL GAMES THE PAST SEASON.

Hardly more than stiff practice is antici-
pated today by the big college foot ball
teams Considerable interest attached to
Columbia's meeting with Swarthmore, as
1t will afford some sort of basis for COM
parison with Pennsylvania. Columbia for
the first time this season will face a for
midable drop kicker in the person of
Crowell. the SwarthmOre quarter back, who
is dangerous anywhere inside the 4O-yard
line.
Crowell has kicked a pretty field goal in
every one OF his games this season, scoring
against Pennsylvania from the 42-yard
mark Columbia's defense. good against
pennsylvania, has been considerably
strengthened. and the New York team
hopes to keep the ball in Swarthmore terri
tory from start to finish. Swarthmore was
defeated by Pennsylvania to 4-and this
total Columbia. with apparent reason, hopes
to eclipse. Certain it is that up to date Co
Lumbla has shown an attack superior to
pennsylvania and defense in proportion
The Quaker offense still consists largely of
Smith, the clever fullback whereas Column
bla has at least four good ground-gainerS.
Harvard expects rather easy engage
ment with Bates, although there is no de-
nying the Crimson has gone backward
practically since Saturday. The worst
faults at present are fumbling and general
careleSSness, poth or which Will have to be
remedied before the West Point game on
Saturday.
Yale, also somewhat backward may not
find the Springfield Training School eleven
such an easy target. The Springfield boys
are strong, heavy lot, and should provide
some sharp scrimmaging for the husky but
at present rather slow New Haven for
wards
Princeton. whose practice yesterday was
encouraging, hopes. contrary to long estab-
liShed precedent, to defeat Lafayette rather
handily. To this end the Tigers will tackle
the Easton eleven with very nearly their
full strength.
Pennsylvania anticipates little difficulty
with Gettysburg, a team not so strong this
season as in former years.
Columbia's game today Is the last mid
season contest on the schedule. All the big
teams are rapidly approaching the critical
period and after Saturday the squads will
be down pretty close to certain varsity ma
terial.

ATTENDANCE FIGURES.
American League outdrew Nationals
by Nearly $4,000.

If figures count for anything, the last
cessful in the history of the game.
Not only have the American and Ma
tional leagues played to remarkable crowds.
but SO have the minor leagues.
The American league carried off the ban
ner crowds, drawing grand total OF
3, O94 559, due in a measure to its close race
throughout the season. The grand total of
the National league was 2.774,701 nearly
100000 less than Ban Johnson's organiza-
ton
The largest crowd at a single game was
at the Polo Grounds, New York, June IL,
when SO. sos persons passed through the
turnStiles; but some doubt has been cast
on the correctness of these figures. Chi
cago was the attraction. On three other
occasions crowds of $1,000, 81, 223 and 81
327 were present at the Polo Grounds. Bos-
ton carried off the honors in the American
league, breaking all records for that city.
The crowd at Saturdays games with New
York, IS, 100, was the high-water mark.
Chicago, Athletics and New York all drew
Americas greatest outdoor sport today
can be judged by the attendance in New
York on Labor day, when the National and
American league teams confiicted; 1897
persons were at the Polo Grounds. while
1922 saw the Athletics at American
League Park total of 81 $50, the greatest
crowd ever drawn from one city in a single
day.
The American League drew over 700 900
more persons than last year, while the Ma
tionals attendance increased 49,, 100. The
following table shows the attendance In
each city. Average per game is taken
from the number of games each team play

Harvard Slumps in Practice.

The Harvard varsity foot ball eleven took
a decided slump in it's practice yesterday at
Cambridge. There was considerable FUN
bling and the general work was listless.
The second eleven carried the ball for sew
enty yards during the afternoon, and once
held the varsity for downs on the 20-yard
line. There was offside playing by both
teams and two cases of holding in the line.
The two formations used yesterday were
tried again with a slight change of the
formation for receiving the kickoff. The
three men who lined up abreast of the %
yard line instead of waiting for the runner
to approach followed the ball to the runner
and gave him interference from the start.
The change made the play more effective.
a new play was pulling Meier back from
the line to head the tandem formation,
Minis taking his place at tackle. There was
a hard fight between Barney and White for
the center position on the varsity. Both
men will be tried out in the Bates game to-
day. and the man who makes the better
showing will go into the West Point game
on Saturday. Cunniff. the regular center,
is laid up just now with one of the small
bones in his wrist broken. Squiers, at
right guard, has a bad hand and game
leg, and will be unable to play In the Bates
game.

Quickening Pennsy's Work.

The University of Pennsylvania foot ball
squad received their final practice yester-
day. prior to the game with Gettysburg
College today. The coaches are not worried
as to the result of this battle, consequently
all of the varsity men will participate.
The cripples are improving nicely, and
with a little more of the good treatment
they are getting it's only matter of few
days until they will be pronounced perfectly
well.
During the practice Coach Wharton had
the line men charging, alternating between
a discharge of a pistol and the swapping OF
a ball The work~of the men was encour-
aging to say the least. They seemed to
grasp the coach's idea of getting low and
charging with plenty of power The object
of this work is to familiarize the players
with quick starting.

Princeton Tackles Poorly.

The Tigers had light practice yester-
day at Princeton previous to the hard
game with Lafayette this afternoon. The
game was snappy while 1t lasted. however,
and was marked by the strong defensive
work which the scrubs put up The var
sity got the ball only once near the scrubs
goal line. but there the second eleven took
a brace and held the first team for downs
on the J-yard line. Waller got first call al
guard yesterday, while butcher played on
the scrub. In the lineup today. however
butcher will probably be back at his old
place. The thing which Is causing the
coaches the most worry now is the noor
work of the men in making tackles. Even
Cooney probably the best man for this
work on the team, is not up to his usual
form.

coast artillery service stationed at Fort
Washington and Fort Hunt are encouraged
by the officers and every facility is given
the men to enjoy them. The newest addi-

structure is being taken to the fort by the
river steamers and before cold weather sets
in 1t will be ready for use. The court is to
be inclosed on three sides, will be covered
to keep out rain and snow and will be COM
