Crowds Indicated Today Big Football Games in the East
EXPECT CAPACITY
CROWD OF $4,000 AT
YALE BOWL TODAY

New York, Oct. 15-(P)-Football
tomorrow promises an unprecedented
array of early season clashes along
the eastern gridiron front
At least a dozen contests In the
eastern sector, have an important
bearing on championship aspirations
Five Of the major battles are expect
ed to draw around 100000 spectators.
The bowl at New Haven is likely
to have its capacity of $4,000 tested
for the struggle between Yale and
Dartmouth. In one Of the most i'm
portant Of q half dozen intersectional
tests, Chicago and Pennsylvania may
play before $4,000 in reconstructed
Franklin Field. The Ohio State
Columbia and Tulane-New York Uni
versity conflict, rivals for Gotham's
limelight, expect to draw close to
$4,000 each to the big major league
ball parks, the Polo Grounds and
Yankee Stadium. while the Naval
academy and Princeton probably will
have between 10000 and $4,000 for
the renewal of their rivalry at Palm
er Stadium.
The battle Of the Green and Blue at
New Haven promises its full share Of
thrills with Dartmouth's 1925 cham
pions meeting their first major test Of
the current campaign against Yale
outfit struggling to find Itself in spite
of injuries. Dartmouth, with pow
erful and versatile attack in the
hands Of an experienced backfeld, is
the favorite, especially since Yale has
lost such stars as Richards and Cald-
well, but the Blue has enough reserve
strength to put up a stiff fight for
victory.
Experts concede the navy at least
an even chance Of vic Dry against
Princeton, whose early season show
ing has been a disappointment so far,
but both teams will miss backfeld
stars, the Middies having lost Alan
Shapleigh while Jake Slagie is out OF
the Tiger lineup.
The Army is handicapped by lack
of reserve strength in the line for its
tussle with Syracuse but the veteran
backfeld led by Hewitt and Wilson
gives the cadets an attacking edge
which may be sufficient to upset the
strong Orange eleven.
Harvard, with her full strength res
tored after two early season upsets,
expects to break into the winning
column for the first time at the ex-
pense of William and Mary. The
southerners met defeat last week at
Syracuse, 35 to nothing and were
lacking in sufficient strength to hold
the Cambridge squad.

COLBY ALL READY
FOR LOWELL CLUB
At WATERVIILE

Waterville, Oct. 15.-The Colby
College football team put in its last
practice today in preparation for the
game with Lowell Textile Institute
on Seaverns Field here tomorrow af-
ternoon at two o'clock. The Spindle
City outfit will bring d strong team
to Waterville and Colby will have to
work hard to gain a victory. Last
week Lowell beat Rhode Island to
the tune of 10, which is the same
score that Maine beat the r. 1.
Skaters but a week before. Lowell is
reputed to have the strongest team
in years.
Colby will take the field with about
the same lineup as on the previous
Saturday. Charlie Cowirg will start
at guard, the position that has been
causing the coach much trouble since
Cleal CoWinS was injured. Jack
Rogers, out with a bruised shoulder
since the Brown game is back in uni
form but he will not get into the
game until the injury is completely
healed. Seekins has been taken
from the line and will start in Rog-
ers position. Erickson will start at
quarter but due to a lame shoulder
it is probable that he will alternate
with Evan Johnson.
MacLean has been doing fashy
work at left halfback and he will
start in that position. His work in
the past week in carrying the bail
has been nothing short of spectacular
especially in off tackle plays.
The men who will start the game
tomorrow are: le., Fielder. It, Heal:

the game, Stiles tried a placement

off the backs of the linefhen was cap

Form of Plague

Rabbits in the State

Hunters and guides report scarcity

to the plague that takes heavy toll
of this species of game every six or
seven years. In covers around Angus
ia that usually harbor large numbers
of the Dummies there have been hardly
any seen by the bird-hunters, and up
river the same condition is said to
exist. Professor H. B. Pierson, State
forest entomologist, who just got back
from an extended trip in Aroostoolz
county, also reports that some form
of disease is killing off the porcupines
IN the areas visited by his party. 1--WE

of this disease" he said.

CHICAGO ELEVEN
LOUDLY CHEERED
ON WAY TO penn

Chicago, Oct. 15.-(P)-The lull be-
fore the storm of football provided
tomorrow by four games bearing on
the Big Ten championship and two
inter sectional tits descended like a
blanket on western conference camps
today.
Coaches of the eight big ten var
sites sparring for an opening advan-
tage in the conference race in the
morrow's engagements conspired to-
gether in a taciturnity echoed along
the under graduates
Spears, arriving at Michigan's gate
with his Gophers, was particularly
sparing of words on Minnesota's
change Of regaining the traditional
Little Brown jug, and all news of
Michigan has sifted this week through
barred gates. The Wolverines are
given slight edge.
Both Zupple of Illinois and Ing
wersen of Iowa came up to the
Illinis home coming with no COM
ment other than to admit a mutual
respect in the matter of offences.
The game, ranking with the Min
nesota- Michigan clash, was generally
reckoned a toss-up.

Expect 10000 at Game

Philadelphia, Oct 15.-(P)-Penn-
sylvania's eleven went through its
final workout today in preparation
for the inter sectional struggle on
Franklin Field tomorrow with the
University of Chicago.
The Chicago NarOons, led by the
veteran coach Stagg upon their ar
rival today planned to take the
travel kinks out Of their muscles
by running through a liget work
out. The MarOons it is said, have a
much lighter team than the eleven
which was defeated by Penn last
year, Z to o. but its early games
indicate that they make up in foot
ball smartness what they lack in
weight.
Coach Young said the Pennsylva-
MIA squad this season was the young
est he ever worked with, but the
Chicago eleven is even a younger
organization. The Maroons' back
field star, Capt Wally Marks, and
Stan Rouse, are the only seniors in
the starting lineup and there are
but five letter men in the squad.
Based on the rush for tickets it
is expected that at least 10000 will
see toInorrow's game.

GRAIN MARKET
! q. Dlspatcn 3. =. Wirei

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-Selling on big
scale in the wheat market today
smashed prices down 5A cents q
bushel. According to some observers,
the increased selling was largely due
to abandonment of speculative hold
ings Rught of late on account Of
talk about prospective world shortage
of wheat. Closing quotations on
wheat were weak, to 5A cents net
lower May (new) 169as to 169%, and
July 1904 to 151, with corn 5s cents
to 25s cents off, oats 2I1s cent to 2as
cents down and provisions showing
10 cents to 80 cents decline.
From the outset it was evident that
confidence of speculative owners of
wheat had been shaken, and that new
buying power in the market had be-
come too thin to absorb the volume
of offerings. General selling which
developed led quickly to a decided
setback in values, and it was toward
the end of the day that the downward
slide of the market went beyond or
binary limits.
