Bisbee daily review., 1914-11-22

United States with Che exception of ihe annual international automobile race held at the motordromc i'm In. dianapolls, Ind Attendance at these Memorial Day 8 mile races has ap. preached close Co 100000 which stll falls below the record figures at big football games in Engand. There is. however, no comparison between the gate receipts since the lowest admis. sion charge In these American events is double and triple the price abroad.
 Although the four intersectional football games played in the east this year have resulted in victories for the home teams it appears almost certain that these contests will be re- peated or even added to in 1915 Michigan at Harvard and Notre Dame at Yale both made splendid impress. sions and sentiment in both sections is apparently strongly in favor of a continuance of these meetings. Coach Roclne of the Notre Dame team in discussing these east vs. west games said recently:
 "I am strongly in favor of intersec- tional football, and hope to see Notre Dame on Yale's schedule next year again. l think that it will bring about better understanding between the East and west besides making the task of judging individual players easier. ! think that within a year or two there will be many eastern teams coming west for games. It will also give variety to the game as many teams will have to prepare to meet every kind of offense in these games. So I am one who wants to see inter. sectional games increase, even if the Eastern teams do defeat the West ern teams this season; it will be good for the game and good for the couu- try"
 The sentiment appears to be spread ing throughout the college athletic world and it appears certain that next autumn will see more intersectional games than ever before. Not only are the eastern and Middle Western ininstitutions moving in this direc- tion but the south as well. Several of the large universities south of Wash ington are already planning 1915 schedules which will include contests with the leading eleven O fthe east. Yale met Virginia on the gridiron early this season and it is understood that Princeton, Harvard and Pennsylvania have an been sounded by managers of southern teams regarding the pos sibility of securing a place upon their schedule for next year.
 While the outlook for insectionaI contests during 1915 is exceedingly, promising the prospects for interna- tional events, such as featured the year drawins to a close, are not over bright Amateur and professional sports abroad have received a heavy setback as a result of the European War and 1t is extremely doubtful if any organized attempts will be made to resume them next summer even though war ends before that period It is known that no American sports body such as the Polo or Tennis as- sociation would think of issueing challenge for trophies lost during the past summer SO long as hosurties continue or the aftermatch of the war handicaps the cup holding organiza- tions
 When such English classics as Wimbledon tennis title tournament, the Oxford-Cambridge crew races and the famous turf fixtures are reported as likely to be cancelled. it can be seen that international competitions are out of the quesetion It may, be however. that private excursions such as the proposed visit of golfers Vardon and Braid to the United States next season may eyeuHuate. Those countries not involved in the war may also send small teams to the Pan anna Exposition Games but the gen oral outlook appears to favor a num- Der of new intersectional contests in various lines of sport as the real feature of the 1915 season.
