FOOT BALL POPULARITY GROWS
This Is shown by Increasing Patron
x of the Big Games.

This Is shown by Increasing Patron
age of the Big Games.
NEW YORK, Nov. H.-That the popular
lty of foot ball is increasing in all parts OF
the country is proved by the great demand
that prevails for tickets admitting to all
important intercollegiate gridiron contests.
Despite the great things that have at
tended the principal games of the last few
seasons in both the east and the west the
limit Of enthusiasm has not yet been
reached. Time and again 1t has besn shown
that the attendance at the big foot ball
games Of the fall is only limited by the
capacity of the stands surrounding the
fields of play. The announcement that more
than 5000 applications for seats for the
coming Yale-Harvard game at New Haven
on November p are on file is but one case
in point. or this number of would-be spec
tators more than so per cent are certain to
be disappointed in their desire to witness
the game, since less thar 5000 can be ac-
commodated at Yale field on that date.
This condition of affairs prevails not alone
in regard to this one intercollegiate foot
ball contest. The application for seats at
the Princeton-Yale game today were also
well In excess of the seating capacity of the
Tigers stands, which aggregate a trifle
more than 5000. Reports from Philadel-
phia. where the Pennsylvania-Cornel and
the Army-Navy games are to be played on
November &c and Is, respectively, indicate
a similar situation. Franklin Field, crowded
to its utmost limits, will not seat more than
10000 spectators, and there are apparently
far more than this number of persons who
would be very much pleased IL they were
assured of seats at one or both of these
games.
1t is not alone the so-called big games
Of the year that are drawing out thousands
of spectators each Saturday. The average
attendance at the games in the Harvard
stadium to date has been larger than in
any previous year since the immense ce-
ment amphitheater was completed. The
Army-Yale game at West Point tested the
capacity OF the cadets foot ball field to
the limit. and the same is true at a mum
Der of the games played on the so-called
minor college gridirons.
But the east has no monopoly on the
popularity of the game. Similar conditions
prevail throughout the middle west and
Pacific coast. The attendance is not as
large as at some of the big eastern games,
but this, is due to the smaller capacity
OF the stands In use. Even the Pacific
coast, handicapped as 1t is by the fact
that the leading universities Of that Sec
ton are playing Rugby foot ball instead
Of the intercollegiate game, reports an
ever increasing demand for seats at the
big games.
The fear expressed by the pessimistic fol
lowers of the game, that foot ball would
die a quick death, SO far as popularity
was concerned. with the changes made
in the rules during the winter OF 1906 s
have proved without foundation.

Americans VIII Fight On.
Run nnf.

IOWA CITY, Ia, Nov. I.-(Special.)-One
of the bad features of the present foot bali
season in Iowa is that the small colleges
of the state have few games for the rest
OF the season. Highland Park college OF
Des Moines has only two games. while
Simpson has finished its schedule and the
State Normal school, Penn and Iowa Wes-
leyan, are in the same boat. It is prac-
tically admitted that Ames. Iowa, Drake,
Grinnell and Cornell are far above the
other schools of the state. Morningside is
the most prominent cadidate for ranking
with the foregoing.

This season more than ever has served
to redeem foot ball from whatever odium
attached to It because of the smuggling
game. East and west big teams and little
have discarded that useless and silly
method Of play. not entirely, but largely.
And what is the result? 1t Is better foot
bali. a more scientific game and a more
popular game. That time has passed when
the team that goes in TO bruise and bully
is the winning team. A team wastes time
and games at such tricks. for while it's
players are trying TO hurt their opponents
the latter can and do take advantage OF
this to cinch a victory. Because foot ball
Is rough Is no apology for its being unduly
rough; because II brings into exercise most
vigorously all the physical prowess of its
players is no excuse for wanton cruelty
and wanton cruelty never can win in the
game as It is played today. Hail to the
new foot ball and may It still advance to
higher levels OF genuine sportsmanship and
scientific play.

WORLDWIDE SIGNIFICANCE.
In the principles OF the Constitution
formed by our fathers and handed
down 10 their children there is no DIFF
fcuty. They embrace principles of
eternal liberty, not the principles OF
one peculiar country, or any sectional
interest, but the great Fundamental
principle of liberty to rational beings
liberty of conscience, liberty 10 do busi-
ness, liberty to increase In intelligence
and in improvement, in the comforts,
convenionccs and elegancles OF this life
and IN the intellectual principles that
tend to progress in all lives.
