When the Syracuse football team started on it's transcontinental trip this fall to play three games in Mon- ! tana, Oregon, and California, it was 1 not anticipated that it would make l money out of, the venture, but the l eleven came. home with a cash profit of $500. The trip of 1000 miles, made in twenty days cost about 1 $5,000, and Syracuse's sha1e of the receipts amounted to $5,5O0 The railroad transportation for the 4wen- 1 ty-four members of the party cost $2,5OO, rental of the private car $9O0, meals and accommodations at San Francisco and Los Angeles .$1,00O.
 Professor c. V. P. Young of Cor nell has invented a new game, a com bination of football and basket ball. It is called "Gridiron," and is played with a Rugby football on a regulation gridfron by teams of eleven men each. Running with the ball more than five yards is illegal and tackling below the waist is forbid. den. Frequent passing of the ball is encouraged.

MACKEREL VISIT GERMANY
BY associated Press

Berlin, Oct. 10. The fact that
mackerel are visiting German waters
in such unprecedented numbers this
autumn is due to great shoals of sprat
which are eagerly sought by the
mackerel as food.
The sprat, a small fish about six
inches in length, is itself caught and
smoked for the German market in
huge quantities; hence the visit of the
sprat and mackerel is proving a double
blessing to the German people.
