SPORT PLANTS IN
 B|G TEN ENORMOUS
Are Capable Of Seating Crowd
 of 553,0OO

Chicago, Dec. 6 R-When stadi- ums now under construction or planned for the immediate future, are completed. the ten universities comprising the Western Conference will have athletic plants with com- bined seating capacity of 553,000, an increase of 300.000 in the last five years.
 Yet this expansion has not begun to take care of the horde of gridiron fans. It was impossible to squeeze into the University of Michigan sta dium at Ann Arbor, for instance, be- cause every ticket was sold early in September, even before the season opened.
 The same was true at Chicago and Northwestern for important games, and also at Ohio State
 Room Still Insufficient The Soldiers Field Stadium here, scene of the Army and Navy spec tacle, was expanded to care for 110,- 900 persons. but if it could have been increased to hold 500,000 it would not have been large enough. Those in charge of the ticket sales turned down 5o0,000 applications be- fore the middle of October, and thousands of letters still poured in.
 Every school in the Big Ten. with the exception of Iowa, has built new stadium since the war, although several are not yet fully completed.
 Ohio State started the stadium building era in 1922 by building a gigantic double decked horseshoe, larger than the Yale Bowl and with a seating capacity Of 7so0O. It was sold out for the Michigan Ohio game November 13, and thousands of ap- plications had to be turned down.
 Illinois finished its stadium during the 1923 season. It has a capacity of 10000. and has been sold out four times in the four years 1t has been in use.
 Three New Ones This Fall.
 Three new stadiums were opened this fall-at Indiana, Minnesota and Purdue. All were the single decked horseshoe type of construction. Min nesota's plant seats 55,000. and the two Hoosier stadiums 25.ooo each.
 Two partly completed stadiums have been in use at Chicago and Northwestern. The capacity of the Midway plant has been increased from 33.0oo to 53,ooo. and further additions will be made within the next twelve months 10 increase il to S0.O0o. Northwestern was able to get 5O.ooo seats ready for this seasons gridiron spectacles. and plans an ultimate capacity of close to 65.Ano.
 Coach Yost of Michigan has start cd work on a new plant to be ready for next fall. with a seating capacity of 7O.00o. The Wolverine stadium will be erected in a "crater" dug into the ground, with the top row of seats being on the ground level.
 Wisconsin has added one new sec ton to its stand each year. The Badger plant now holds 45.000 and will be increased if the demand is sufficient Iowa's plant seats around 30, o00. but has several new sections of steel and concrete grandstand.

Many to See Harry Persson Battle Mccarthy in Hartford

Hartford, Dec. 6--Swedish resi- dents of Connecticut and of Massa- chusetts cities within striking dis tance of Hartford are expected to { form a large part of the gallery when Harry Person. Swedish heavyweight champion. battles the clever Pat Mccarthy of Boston in evening, Dec. IS.
 Person is the first Swedish fight CT of real caliber 10 reach these shores, and whenever he has ap- peared in this country hundreds of his fellow countrymen have been on hand to urge him on to victory.
 Persson will be making his New England debut when he battles Me- Carthy in the big Hartford drillshed. his American appearances to date having been confined to New York and Philadelphia.
 The big fellow is one of the most rugged opponents of-the manly art ever seen in a ring. He has 8 tre- mendous chest and massive arms. whence come his terrific hitting pow CT. A boxer. hit in any vulnerable spot by the big boy from over the seas, is down for keeps.
 Person wasn't the best boxer in '. S. A., but he is fast acquiring polish under the expert tutelage of Jimmy DeForest. veteran trainer, who also handled Luis Firpo when the Bull of the Pampas was cam paigning in these parts.
 Connecticut fans who saw Persson on the Dempsey-Tunney card know he can hit and that talent, com- bined with the training DeFOrest IS giving him, should make Harry one of the real heavyweight contenders before next summer comes this way.
 Mccarthy and Person will furnish the combination of a. big rugged fel- low with punch against a boxer and ring general of much talent. Those who saw Mccarthy jab and hook Johnny Risko at the Hartford Velodrome last summer hail Pat as a master of his craft. Connecticut has never seen a cleverer battle than the one the Boston boy waged against the aggressive and fast swinging Rsko. Mccarthy undoubt- edly will fight that kind of a battle against Persson. Pat will need all his ring skill to keep away from the death dealing right that the big Swedish titleholder boasts.
 The McCarthy- -Persson bout will be of twelve rounds. The rest of the card is:
 Semi i-final-George Lamson vs. Battling Thomas, eight rounds.
 Preliminaries--Nick Fidel vs. Prince Tooma. eight rounds; Joe Smith vs. George McRae, four rounds.
