Astoria Developers Report 200
New Houses Have Practi-
caIlu Reea1 Sold

Twenty eight houses in the one
family house development of the Pot
ter Avenue Realty Corporation, in the
Astoria section of Long Island City,
were sold during the week. The build
ers report that they have practically
sold the last of the 200 houses WHICH
they started to build in this section
last April. The majority of buyers
have come from sections of the city
outside of Queens. Many of them come
from Manhattan.
Orders have been given by the build
ers to finish work in the next few
weeks. In this the borough officials in
Queens are cooperating with the man
ayers of the company.
The community that has been estab-
lished by this company is one of the
most interesting in Queens. Some of
the most progressive among the new
comers are planning to organize
community association to provide for
entertainments and to assist in de-
yelopinp neighborly spirit.

NEW YORK. October 16-The song
Of the Iowa partisans. THE Corn
Grows Tall in Iowa." cheered Howard
Jones' team on to a. decisive and well
earned victory, and Yale had Mallory
to thank that the Iowa score did not
grow higher than the corn.
!. For two periods of the game Capt
Loche's Iowans were in full COM
mand. and did practically all the
ground gaining. They scored one
touchdown and very nearly got a
second. Then the Yale team began to
steady itself. to analyze more clearly
the attack Of the visitors and hold 1t
in check.
So, during the fourth period Yale
was the aggressor and forced the
ball into Iowa. territory, but the
westerners had enough left to stop
the rush. A final forward pass that
was uncompleted owing to fine COW
ering by the Iowa backfield. went
bounding across the Iowa goal line
for touchback. and Yale's last chance
went glimmerings.
Iowa's attack was far more vari ed

HARvARD4CENTRE FRAY
NOW HOLDS ATTENTION


Still feeling the effects of Iowa's
6-to-0 victory over Yale at New
Haven Saturday, eastern followers of
foot ball are turning toward the tus-
sle at Cambridge next Saturday, when
another east-west struggle takes
place-that between Harvard and
Centre.
Both Of these games, the Iowa-Yale
and the Harvard-Centre. have an
important bearing on the annual
tussle between Yale and Harvard.
which is the climax Of the sports
eastern season.
Should Centre defeat Harvard, as
It did last year, Yale's loss to Iowa
won't affect the big game SO much.
but it will be further proof that
tho gridiron game of the west is
somewhat. better than that of the
east, as Chicago last year and Iowa
this year have about proved.
