.SOPWITH SILENT ON MATTER OF FUTURE CHALLENGE British Skipper of En-
 deavour HonOred at
 Providence


 Providence, R. l., Sept 27-(UP) IT. o. M. Sopwith, owner and skipper of the America's cup chal- lenger Endeavour, denied em- phatically last night report that he had sold the sloop to Gerard Lambertof Boston.
 There is not bit of truth to the report" the British sportsman said following a dinner and recep- tion given in his honor by the British Empire club of Providence. Speaking to 200 guests at Hotel Biltmore, Sopwith heartily praised the reception given him by the American public, but carefully re- trained from any reference to Rainbow, the successful American defender in the recent races, and the American skipper, Harold s. Vanderbilt. It had been antici- pated by some that he might dis cuss the denial of his protest of oneof the races by the New York Yacht club race committee.
 To repeated urgings by speakers that he return again in the chal- lenger's role, Sopwith remained silent.

ALUMNI MAKE COACHING JOBS
 GYPSY TRADE
Many Changes in Football Mentors For This
 Season
BY FRED BAILEY
Limited Press Staff Corresnond

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 Chicago - (UP) - This business of coaching football rapidly is be- coming sort of Gypsy trade, judging by the number of changes made by colleges since the 1883 season closed.
 No less than 50 of the larger colleges of the country have called for new deal' in coaching. Football teams in many other smaller schools are under the direction of new mentors.
 The position of football coach seems to have become extremely insecure unless he can win majority o fhis' games every sea- son. For obvious reasons they can't all do that.
 Fight Alumni
 The losing coach has to fight off the pack of alumni yelling for his head at the end of the season. Other factors doubtless enter into many changes, but a losing record is a heavy liability.
 Among the large eastern schools employing new coaches this year are Navy, Yale, Dartmouth. New York University. City College of New York. Vermont and Boston University.
 In the middle west the turnover has been just as heavy. It includes, Indiana. Ohio State, Kansas Ag- gies, South Dakota, ,Duquesne, St Louis University, Knox and Vest ern Reserve. Y
 The south has had more than its share in Texas, Virginia, North Carolina State Auburn, Kentucky Rice, North Carolina U., Centenary, Richmond. Oklahoma Aggies and West Virginia.
 Changes in West
 The west coast, where all teams seem to be a success-when play ing any school from east of the Rockies-alone has escaped with few major changes. St Mary's was an exception.
 Some of the changes of national significance are: Elmer Layden for Hunk Anderson at Notre Dame: T. Hamilton for Rip" Miller at Navy; Bo McMillin for E. C. Hayes at Indiana; J. Chevigny for Clyde Littlefield at Texas; Ducky Pond for Reggy Root at Yale and Chet Wynne for Harry Carnage at Kentucky.
 Others which will bear watch- ing are F. Schmidt for S. Williams at Ohio State; J. Meagher for Chet Wynne at Auburn; Nal Stev. ems for Howard Cam at New York U.; Hunk Anderson for Johnny Smith at North Carolina State; Earl Blaik for J. l.. Cannell at Dartmouth and Pat Hanley for Myles Lane at Boston U.

HUGE STADIUM.
 ABLE TO DEFY
 ANY WEATHER
Philadelphia Plans Bowl That Can Be ROOfed
 Or Open

Philadelphia, (UP)-The hopes and ambitions of sports promoters since commercialized athletics was introduced are about to be full filed.
 Plans have been completed for the erection of huge indoor-out- door stadium in which sporting events will be held regardless of weather conditions-rain or shine.
 A building once occupied by the Baldwin Locomotive Works will be coverted into the sports arena. A movable steel ceiling. electrically operated, will cover the place dur ing bad weather.
 All Type of Sports
 All sporting events, with the ex- ception of pony polo and baseball, can be held in the vast stadium. An ice skating rink will be built in and concealed under the turf at, one end.
 Rodeos and the circus may be staged in the new combination sta dium with only the sky as a ceil- ing when the weather is clear. There will be housing afcilities for 1900 head of livestock under the stadium.
 HS DldyiIIS uclu iiioioC tilC oto- dium will be 400 feet long by zoe feet wide-suitable for football, soccer and other outdoor games. For contests where the entire play ing field is used, the ground level stands and two balconies will ac- commodate 70,000 spectators.
 82.O0O Capacity
 When boxing, wrestling and other sports, where a ring in the center is the stage for competition the capacity of the field is in- creased to S2,0G0.
 The new stadium will take in an entire block only several squares from the center of the city. and the management believes more than 3,000,000 persons will view the entertainment provided there annually.
 It is expected that construction work will begin about the first of the year and be completed by the fall of 1885.

Odds And Ends

Coach "Chick" Meehan of Manhattan is allowing each player a pint of beer daily as a means of preventing his boys from losing too much weight this sultry weather. ripper Conley, Johnny Hartnett and BrOney Christian think it's a frame-up, for Meehan wouldn't mention beer in the same breath with football when the Waterbury trio were running their legs off for the Jaspers last year.. Frank Demaree, the former Chicago Cub who Outshone Johnny Moore in the. 1882 World Series, was final- ly sent tC the coast, but it looks as though he will be up in the big show again, as the most valuable player in the Pacific Coast league for 1884 is Frank, and the Cubs will try him again next season, from all indications. u. Neither Johnny or Frank have done badly for themselves since they left Chicago. Joe Vignali fought thriller on the CanzOneri- Dublinsky card last night but dropped the decision to Al Cassimini of Corona, l.. l., and for action topped the main bout, which was not at all bad, either. Ted Knurek, Hartford Bulkeley quarter back who was to start against Crosby Saturday, will not play at all this season, due to a broken leg, suffered in scrim- mage yesterday afternoon. A tough break for the boy and the team.

Put In His Place

Though the well known voice of Graham McNamee was once heard trying to describe world series baseball play by play, during the 1881 series at Philadelphia, while Ford Prick who kknows his baseball back ward, was helping him out was given the task of annOuncsing preliminary happenings to the games, I note with consider able pleasure that good old Graham will work on the pre- liminaries which is the proper place for a man who docs not understand baseball thorough ly. Ford Bond, Tom Manning, Pat Flanagan and Francis Laux will describe the play by play. Graham is great stuff on general activities, but world series baseball, play by play, is little over his head.

If these pledges are not carried out, the acceptance implies, Amer ican athletes will not be permitted to enter the eleventh Olympiad if held at Berlin no rthe fourth Olympic inter-allied games, if held at Girmisch- Partenkirchen. Ger many. x Unusual { Such was the acceptance voted. unanimously last night by the American Olympic committee in executive session at the New York unusual acceptance in the history of international sports. <
 The acceptance was not a robust "Yes," as has been customary in the past. It was guarded by a carefully worded clause which be- heath it's mild verbiage packed plenty of potential dynamite.
 Wordage of the final acceptance resolution made it unmistakably clear that the United States was pledging it's entry into the games only because of the favorable re- port of Avery Brundage. President of the American Olympic ommit- tee and President of the amateur athletic union, following two- months personal Investigation in Germany, and because of assuran- ces from proper German officials.
 Between The Lines
 The resolution read: Tn the light of the report of Mir Brun- dage and the attitude and assur- ances of the representatives of the German Government and the Ger man Olympic committee, we ac- cept the invitation of the German Olympic committee to participate in the 1886 Olympic games.''
 This resolution was voted by the 16 committee members present after nearly three hours of dis cussion; after motion had been turned down to have the inferen- ces, now contained, actually writ ten into an omendament rather. than have them implied, and af- ter other motions were made to des lay final acceptance until further investigation was completed.

Come Oh, Crowder!

Announcement that General Al Crowder will pitch the second world series game in Detroit is pleasant news to many Waterbury friends of the former Brassco moul 1sman who have watched his work with marked interest all sea- son, particularly since the time Mickey Cochrane grabbed him from Clark Griffith of Washington and got a bargain. Even should he not be able to carry on as a start ing pitcher, though Cochrane evil dently thinks he will, 'the gen. eral" will come in mighty handy when some of the other boys get in a hole, and should do his best work as a relief hurler.

Is unfolded before one in the
beauty of these great relics, and
further, in the famous Maya
ruins in Yucatan.
At the city of Puebla is the
Pyramid of Cholula, which was
ancient when the Aztecs found
it in 1176, and whose original
builders are shrouded in the
mists of time.
Retains Glamour
At Cuernavaca, where Cortez
erected his palace in 1880, one
finds much to wonder at and
admire.
Two hours away is the most
unique village in all Mexico
Taxco, built on the side of a
mountain under huge precipices.
Its cobble paved streets wind
tortuous way along the hillside,
and the buildings are pictur-
esque, and full of an old world
charm.
Mexico is on everyone's lips
today, and is rapidly attaining a
great Importance in the travel
world. Its scenes are colorful,
its climate glorious, and it holds
within it's confines much of the
glamour that is, alas, speedily
disappearing from this Work-a-
day world.
Stand in the golden sunshine,
with a riot of flowers about you,
lift your eyes to where old
Popocatepetl towers against the
blue, and sense again the thrill
of living experienced by Cortez
so many years ago at that very
spot.

tain-girdled valley, one proceeds
onward through scenery too
beautiful to describe, to Mexico
City.
This city, poised at such ire
mendously high altitude that
the air is like wine, and fatigue
unknown, is full of flowers and
beauty. Spots Of historical in
terest stand side by side with
the newest and most modern
buildings, and the total effect is
one of unsurpassed charm.
In the Heights and Castle Of
Chapultepec the Aztecs built a
fortress that also served as a
summer residence for the great
Montezuma. Here he established
his harem, his fish ponds, and
his hunting lodge.
Ancient Glory
Other delights of Mexico City
are the mighty cathedral, the
museums and palace, the cafes
and cabarets, the bull fights,
and the Jai Alai games.
There are the beautiful
Venice-like floating gardens Of
Xochimilco, a favorite holiday
retreat for the natives, where a
series of canals wander through
shady plots of grass and flowers.
One Of the most historically
interesting sights in or near
Mexico City is the Temple Of
Quetzalcoatl in Teotihuacan,
with the wonderful Pyramids of
the Sun and the Moon. One
pyramid is greater in area than
any of the Egyptian pyramids.

Cruise Bookings Make Gains
Over Last Season

Bookings already made on the
Cunard-Cook world cruise of
the S. s. Franconia, sailing
from New York. January IL,
next, are 20 per cent ahead of
last year in number and 30 per
cent ahead in value, according
to information today from the
New York headquarters of
Thos. Cook & Son-Wagons-Lits,
Inc.
This situation on world
cruise bookings is regarded by
Cooks as the first reliable indi-
cation Of the trend of winter
travel. The fact that there is
an increase in the number of
reservations is considered by
officials to foreshadow a con-
tinuance Of the good cruise
business Of last winter.
The most encouraging fea.
ture, however, is the tendency
toward high class and more ex-
pensive accommodations.
At a time when business con-
ditions in general seem to be in
an uncertain state, the increase
in business of a luxury classifi-
cation is held to be one weather
vane pointing to recovery, &C.
cording to Cooks.
The Franconia world cruise
covers 37,O7O miles during the
four and a half months the
liner is away from New York.

There he founded the town OF
Vera Cruz CTrue Cross, with
little opposition from the ma
tives, who believed that the

obeyed them without question.
Spanish Conquest
Later, with native allies, and
his own staunch supporters,
Cortes pushed ON inland and up
ward, to finally reach the city Of
Tenochtitlan-which we now
call Mexico City-7,0OO feet
above sea level, where he con-
quered the ruler, Montezuma
II. That wonderful book, 'The
Fair God," tells us enchant-
ingly of this phase Of the con-
quest of Mexico.
From then on, the country
has been torn by battle and
revolution-with each swing Of
the pendulum bringing change
of customs and of people.
Therefore the variety of inter-
esting sights and scenes is
manifold, and the visitor to
Mexico may find a wealth Of
pleasure and diversion.
With the constitution of 1917,
Mexico became a federal repub-
lie, with % states, two territor-
les, and a federal district. Her
governmental system is very
similar to ours, and she has
made great strides toward mod
ernization in many ways.

feet deep, was caused thou
sands of years ago by a falling
meteor.
The very rim Of the Grand
Canyon is visible to the north
and smaller, less famous, but
none-the-less spectacular can
yons with fantastic rock forma-
tions are everywhere along the
route.
The broad wheat lands Of
Kansas and the cattle ranges Of
Texas are under the traveller
for brief but comprehensive
inspection.
On the night flights the lights
Of smaller cities blink friendly
greetings and always stretching
endlessly toward the horizon
the line Of revolving beacon
lights mark the course for your
pilot. Invisible but continuously
audible in the pilots radio
phones, are the directive signals
of the radio range beacons.
Night Lights
Located on many of the
mountain peaks are the aerial
lighthouse keepers, men en-
ployed by the United States De-
partment of Commerce to keep
the revolving beacons in eff
cient operation. Along the floor
of the desert, too, these earth
bound workers keep constant
watch on the goings and COM
ings of the men and women Of
the air.
Cities and towns take on a
difference in personality at
night, each having it's dis
tinctive formation of lights and
shadows. Los Angeles is con-
ceded to afford the most beau
tifully spectacular night view
from the air with Chicago and
New York close seconds-Chi-
cago, because Of the dramatic
lighting effects of the Worlds
Fair; New York, because of the
veritable blast Of lights which
greet the night air traveller.
One of natures spectacles, re-
served for the exclusive enjoy
ment of the night air traveller,
is that of moonlight shining
above the clouds.
