dicates the way the election will 60,
then Coolidge will be shy some FL

However, there are many factors
to be considered. First lis the fact
that three States, Maine with 6 votes

Over Quarter Million Pay to
See Games During Foot
ball Season.

CHICAGO. Dec. 4.-Ohio passed
the quarter-million mark and Chi
cago fell just short of 1t for total
attendance at their football games
this fall, according to figures an
nounced by the two universities
The total who saw the Maroons in
action reached 245, 900, while 1885,
600 passed through the turnstiles
to see the Buckeyes perform.
X all the people who wanted to
see the. Maroons play Illinois and
Wisconsin could have been accom-
modated, the chances are that no
figures in the conference, or the
West, would have reached Chi
cago's total. The official attend
ance at each of those contests was
$4,000, and 1t would easily have
been double that had there been
the room.
The remarkable growth of foot
ball interest is shown by the Ohio
attendance figures, which have in
creased from 24Ss6 for at-hone
games in 1915 to les, 900 for the six
contests staged in the stadium at
Columbus last fall.
| The year the Buckeyes won their
first Big Ten championship, 1916,
r. total of 1899 saw the home
games. When they won their sec.
ond title in 1917, the attendance
slumped to 1882, chiefly because
of the war. In 1920, while winning
their third championship, total of
65,O56 sat in. This year, with
the team far down in the race.
the number was more than trebled.
The chances are that the new

for next falls games. The exten-
sion program Of the university. calls
for the building of the field house
before start is made on the foot
ball field. In addition the two big

In 1921, Schneider was full

won general recognition as the

He was approximately half the

with the Mohawks, 3 to 0. That
year Schneider did we'll enough

Schneider halls from the Mohawk
neighborhood. The MOhawks won
the baseball championship of the

the teams success.
Schneider kept on with the Mo-
hawks and made the football team
in 1923. The Mohawks won the
gridiron championship, beating
Mercury in a sensational contest,
10 to 8. Schneider was not q
star, but he did very well-better,
in fact, than he had done with
Mercury the year previous.
So, in three years-1921, 1922
and 192S--Al Schneider was a

Only on one was he a star.
That was the Friendship team.
But Schneider gives promise of
