FOOT BALL DREW OUT
HOST Of SPECTATORS
Statistician Estimates That Fully
100000 Enthusiasts Saw

NEW YORK, January 16.-1n sta
tistical review of the past falls foot

member Of the intercollegiate rules

Ing facts.
Naturally. much Of his data has been
based upon reports Of games, but so Tar
as the eastern gridiron battles are con-
facts at first hand so far as the prin-
cerned he has been able to gather his
cipal college teams are concerned.
According to Mr.. Davis, intercol-
legiate foot ball. during the last sea-
son, was played by $50 colleges, 5000
secondary schools and by 1900 teams
not connected with educational institu-
tions, but representing organized ath-
letic associations, large and small.
Thirty-four thousand games were
played, and $4,000 players participated
In the sport.
Notwithstanding the distraction of
the war and the handicap OF tight
money from every section came re-
ports of increased attendance.
Estimates place the total number OF
spectators attending foot ball games in
the United States during the fall or
1914 at 6,292, 900 persons. The culminat-
Ing assemblage, of course. was the
where almost 10000 people gathered,
occupying almost 20 miles of seats.

known as the Missouri School of Mines,
amassed the huge sum Of $50 points to
their opponents none. In the east the
chief exponent of heavy scoring was
the remarkable Washington and Jeffer-

Let these college teams not shake
their plumes too proudly. however. for
out of the Everett High School OF
Everett, Mass, came a team which met
the best teams in four states, includ-
ing a representative eleven from New
from Chicago, Oak Park High. and
defeated all with u grand total of 600
points to none.

States passed the 400 mark with their

Rank for Enlisted Men.

Another change of interest to nearly
every man in the navy is the Bath
rick amendment, adopted by the com
mittee, which provides Il method by
which warrant officers may be ad-
vanced further in grade after proving
themselves capable. AT present they
may be commissioned chief warrant
officers with the rank of, but next
after, ensign in the navy. The Bath
rick amendment allows them to be
commissioned warrant chiefs with
rank Of lieutenant. junior grade. and
lieutenant, senior grade. 1t covers the
"old timers" namely, chief boatswains.
chief gunners. chief machinists. chief
carpenters and chief pharmacists. +
Says the report:
THE warrant officer has the oppor-
tunity to advance in the navy by two
avenues, namely, one avenue is by
complying with certain conditions he
may be permitted to take the eXamina-
tion for an ensign in the navy, and, if
qualified, may be promoted to all the
grades to rear admiral, provided he
does not reach the age of retirement
before reaching that grade The other
avenue of advancement is by taking
an examination in his specially.
"A gunner may qualify in all the
branches of ordnance and gunnery and
be promoted to Il commissioned chief
gunner with the rank of ensign, but
may not advance further under exist
ing law because he has demonstrated
his qualifications in the speciality of
ordnance and gunnery only. The same
appljes to the warrant officers of the
who takes the commission for an en-
sign in the line of the navy is ex-
anined on all subjects, not only in
gunncry, but navigation, seamanship
and Engineering and ali subjects that
are required of the graduate Of the
Naval Academy"

RESENTS THE CHARCE
Of DELAYING ACTION
Senator Jones Denies Republicans
Resort to Filibuster Against
Ship Purchase Bill.

lima yesterday charged on the floor Of
the Senate that republican opponents of
the government ship purchase bill were
carrying on an indirect filibuster against
that measure by debating at length ap-
preparation bills and other measures
which come before the Senate, Senator
Jones of Washington made vigorous re-
ply. He defended republican delay OF
legislation as justified lest the President
put something over" or slip something
into bills. as he .boasted at Indianapolis
of having done in the case of the pro-
vision in the trade commission law, per-
mitting the commission to act as a tariff
board.
