FOOTBALL DRAWS
RECORD CROWDS
All Attendance Marks
Broken-Harvard-
Yale Biggest

NEW YORK, Dec. l0.---Consider-
ing the short season 1t enjoys. col
lege foAb1ll has It over all other
sports in tho way Of drawing big
crowds.
The football season doesn't get
under way until late September. and
few games OF real Importance are
played until mid Oct obcr. Thus the
biggest gridiron attractions are all
crowded into a short six weeks.
But In that six weeks hundreds
of thousands of devotees OF the game
pass through the turnstilcs to watch
our husky young coliegians In ac-
ton, and in the case of practically
every big game thousands OF would
be spectators are disappointed be-
cause there Is no place to accommo- =
date them.

Imagine Yale Bowl, with a seat
ing capacity of $4,000 under nor

small to accommodate all the peo-
pie who wanted to see Yale and

thousands were disappointed be-
cause there was no place to put

Here was crowd twice az large
as the average worlds series throng,
a crowd three times as great as the
average crowd which assemblies for
our big rowing and racing events

1t could have been even larger.
Many 10000 Crowds.
Crowds OF 1000 became common
this fall. Harvard and Centre

Professional football is growing
steadily In popularity despite at

age 1t.
Jim Thorpe and his Canton Bull

teams at Akron. Cleveland, Massilon,
Chicago. Fort Wayne, Buffalo and
other cities played to big crowds
this year and made lots of money.
The names OF ex-college stars who
decorate the lineups OF these teams
tell the story. for many Of the great

into the ranks of professionals and
are starring just as they used to do
