LOS ANGELES, September 10.
How the disastrous forest and
brush fires which have been sweep
ing the state may be avoided
through close study of weather con-
ditions and cooperation with mete-
biologists, was the principal sub
iect scheduled for discussion this
afternoon by L considerable number
of the nations most eminent sci
entists. t., Ng
The discussions are n part of the
program of the American Associa
tion for the ADVANCEMENT of Sci
ence.. in annual convention here. /.
The study of lightning losses on
the Pacific coast-where lightning
is rarity, the relation of humidity
kreeords to fire control, hot weather
forecasting rs an indicator of pos
sible forest fire disasters-all these
and half dozen more highly tech
nical subjects will be discussed at
session this afternoon by the sci
entists.
Talk "Fire Weather. =
1t is the universal belief of the
meteorologists who will participate
in the discussions that close atten-
ton to weather records will be the
most valuable pre- sentative ofIifiFs,
largely increasing watehfulness and
directing close attention to parti-
cular areas.
IT is a notorious fact that an ex-
tended spell of very hot, dry wealth

Herschel Bennett, who was given

Bennett, midget fly-chaser,

While with the Browns he pre-

When the stadium was built at
Cambridge the alleged overemphasis
of the game was then pointed out by
numerous critics Of the game. The
same criticism will be heard again,
but the construction of a huge new
football arena is merely meeting con-
ditions which have been brought
about by the thousands of graduates
who are added to the rolls of Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton alumni
each year.
The proposed new stadium is al
ready being discussed by prominent
Harvard alumni. There is an avail
able site in Cambridge on university.
owned property, just across the
street form the entrance to Soldiers
Field. &C.,
The Yale Bowl, with it's $4,000
seats, and the new California
stadium, with its $4,000 seats, have
led the way in meeting the increased
interest in the college sport.
While great sums of money are
collected each season from gridirOm
contests, the money is utilized to
sustain the other sports which
make up the curriculum Of phySi-
cal education. The legitimate de-
mand for tickets at Harvard last
fall from alumni justifies stadium
which will accommodate 100000
spectators.
While faculty authorities have
Sensed a growing evil in the in
creased interest in football, it is only
natural growth with the increasing
o1Nnr. of n iSJ
available evidence that the thousands
of spectators last season were ad-
Versely affected by attending the
weekend games. In fact, it afforded
a healthy recreation for both player
and spectator
Football has become so firmly es-
tablished that the colleges must keep
pace with it's growth. The clamor
against the game has been lost in
the insistent demand for more
tickets each season. The protests
of graduates each year have been
heard.
These great gatherings of alumni
strengthen the bonds of loyalty to
the colleges. Greater gatherings
in the future are inevitable.
That the crowds of $4,000 or mere
at Cambridge were not detrimental
tc the throng of undergraduates and
graduates is generally conceded, and
there is no reason to believe that
there would be anything degrading
to college spirit in crowds twice that
size.
The demand for a new stadium at
Harvard Is only In proportion to the
Just expectations of those who have
the best interests of college sport
at heart.
