probably would have been finished

for the school board to call the sec

made in the school laws, they finding
that their first election was not legal

WIN ON GRID GAME,
BUT MONEY IS GONE
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, December o.
"A number of University of Pittsburgh
students who lost wagers that Pitt
would defeat Penn State on Thanks
giving, were asked to appear today
against a betting commissioner" al
legged to have absconded with their
funds.
s The day before the game, a man
calling himself &c. E. Hugus, repre-
sentative of a New York broker" es-
Jfablished himself at hotel near the
campus and sent letters to fraternity
houses offering to place bets on Pitt
against State at odds of ten to seven.
Trade was brisk. "Hugus," students
charge, accepted their money and is.
sued receipts.
After the game, the Commissioner
could not be located and several ''vic-
tory celebrations had to be postponed
for lack Of funds.
c. J. Red Schjnninger, of Altoona,
Pa, was arrested at that place yes
terday and brought to Pittsburgh,
where he was charged with larceny In
connection with the betting. Schin.
ninger said he acted in behalf of a
man named "Hugus," but students
said Schinninger and "Hugus" were
one and the same. lSchinninger, how
sever, declared he would be able to
square" himself with the students
at his hearing.

NAVY IS DEPENDENT
ON "OUTSlDE" GAMES

While most colleges are dependent
upon foot ball for the bulk of their
funds for athletic purposes, the Naval
Academy derives its only revenue for
this purpose from grid games that are
played outside of Annapolis.
The charging Of an admission fee
to games at Annapolis is not forbid
den by law or regulation. but is con-
trary to custom and the feelings OF
officers Of the Navy.
The Navy eleven played four games
away from home last season and to
the largest total number of spectators
Of any midshipmen team in history.
1t will play the same number of games
on other fields next season, but there
is reason to believe that there will be
considerably increased attendance.
Approximate attendance at the big
games played by the Naval Academy
last season was: Notre Dame, in Bal.
timore, $4,000: Pennsylvania. in Phila.
delphia, $4,000; Michigan, at Ann
Arbor. 10000; Military Academy. at
New Yc.ks 10000. This is a total Of
10000.
The expected attendance for the big
games next season is: Notre Dame,
at Soldier Field, Chicago. 125,000:
Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, $4,000:
Michigan, in Baltimore, $4,000: Mill.
tary Academy (place to be selected),
10000. This total is 100000.
The seating capacity of Soldier Field,
Chicago, is to be increased to 1926, ,0O0,
and those in touch with conditions
believe that it will be filled for the
Navy-Notre Dame game. If so, it will
be the largest crowd which has at
tended a foot ball game in this coun-
try.
The Naval Academy, which picks
the grounds for the next Army.Navy
game, will insist upon a minimum Of
100000 seats, but it is believed that
there will be 10000.
Though the Naval Academy team
plays more games away from home
than previously. the trips are so ar.
ranged that there is slight interfer.
ence with the routine of training, and
no special privileges are allowed the
players.
