MARKS
DUE In FOOT BALL

NEW YORK, October 23.-New at
likely to be set this season, If the
early season rush for the turnstiles
at gridiron battles throughout the
country may be taken as a criterion.
The total attendance in five of the
leading gridiron engagements last
week approached 100000. Nearly 200
other college foot ball contests
played that afternoon, each attract
ing additional thousands, indicates
the tremendous popularity of the
sport.
Never, so early in the season, has
the college pastime gained so great
a hold upon the public. At Cambridge
the wooden stands. formerly required
only for the rvard-Princeton, Har-
ward Yale and Harvard-Dartmout
games, were always filled, notwith-
standing the fact both Boston College
and Tufts staged contests nearby.
The Harvard Dartmouth game next
Saturday will find the stadium packed
with a capacity throng, with thou
sands forced to follow newspaper
scoreboards to obtain early knowI-
edge of the progress of play.
A gathering of world series proper
tions is expected at the Yankee sta.
dium, where West Virginia meets
Penn State in a foot ball battle or
which the so-called eastern cham
pionship may hinge. West Virginia
already has conquered Pittsburgh
and Penn State has downed Annap-
oils
The first visit OF Center College tc
Philadelphia, the Princeton-N Navy
clash at Baltimore. the first eastern
visit of Marquette, undefeated fol
two years, which is to play Boston
College at Braves Field; the Yale
Brown annual game at New Haven
and the meeting of Pittsburgh and its
near neighbor, Carnegie Tech, seen
certain to attract capacity crowds.
