With all the members OF the re-

major games was expected TO 90 well
over the half-million mark.

ON THE West Coast Washington's
1895 champions and the come
backing Southern California Trojans
looked for $4,000 customers, while
slightly smaller crowds were due at
the California-Oregon State and
Oregon-Stanford clashes.
Although gatherings Of around
$4,000 for such games as West Vir-
ginia-Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech-New

sas State and Manhattan-Texas A.

there were plenty good games to in
crease the attendance total. About
the best on the list was the Cornell

Scouts rarely see their own team
play, for their Saturday afternoons
are spent glimpsing other clubs. Some
coaches have three or four scouts out
every week end observing various fu-
ture rivals. Army and Navy scout
each other in virtually every game be-
fore the service classic.
Some conferences, such as the Big
Six, limited teams from scouting an
opponent more than once and then
with only single observer. Yale some
years ago, agitated to ban scouting in

little headway and eventually aban-
doned the idea. The high cost of

These scouts are quite different.
The base ball man observes up-and-
coming rockies he's heard about. If
the youngsters are any good he tries
to sign them before scouts for other
clubs see them.
The foot ball scouts. at least during
the actual season, aren't interested in
recruiting. They watch rival teams
note their plays and spot weaknesses
and players movements that "tele-
graph" impending maneuvers
Years ago they virtually were spies
Nowadays they are entertained and
given choice seats from which to do
their observing.
Scouts play an importan. part in
gridiron victories. Many games are
won because Of their alertness. Every
major college team has several scouts.
Scouts Make Big Difference.
THE chief advantages of scouting"
says Maj. Lawrence (Biff) Jones
Of Nebraska, lis that it permits the
head coach to be specific rather than
general in his preparations for any
particular game"

Howard Jones at Southern Califor-

illustration.

S SPECIFICATIONS
BASESFOR SALES
residential Subdivision
Data Given in Article
by c. A. Perry.

Six specifications for 4 residential
subdivision designed to afford maxi
mum satisfaction to the average
American family are enumerated by
Clarence Arthur Perry of the Russell
Sage Foundation in an article enti-
lied How to Provide Human Values
in Single-family Subdivision which
appears in building types section Of
the May issue Of Architectural Record.
Perry states that each Of the six
standards for providing human values
can be made the subject Of a sales
argument.
The first important specification is
that the subdivision shall be the right
size, according to Perry, and the
determining factor in size is the pupil
capacity Of the schools; the optimum
population for the subdivision being
six times the pupil capacity. IF it
happens" says Perry, that you have
more land than is needed for one
school district, cut off by a main
street that portion of your plot which
can be best developed in connection
with its adjacent area and handle it
as separate proposition. If your
plot is so small that, even when built
up with the highest practical density,
it will still not make neighborhood
unit, then try to fit it to that adjacent
area which, thus supplemented, will
oil 10
school district. The home seekers
who constitute your best market con-
slider good school facilities a prime
requisite"
Street safety, another of Perrys
money-getting slogans, is best OBJ
tained by proper layout Of main or
arterial highways, making it easy for
through traffic to bypass the devel-
opment. and by equally careful layout
Of internal streets.
Perry further points out that a
planned community development
should reserve adequate institutional
sites in the center of the development
for an elementary school, branch
public library, and at least one
Nliul I'll, ~ pei NSlIU VI lllOlC VI lllC
area should be set aside for parks
and recreation spaces; a business
frontage of 35 to 40 feet per 100 per-
sons of population should be set
aside for retail shops, preferably
grouped in shopping centers with
adequate parking space, and finally
restrictions should be SO devised as
to perpetuate the character and quail
ity bestowed upon the development
by the original plan.
Concluding his exposition of the
six sales points, Perry says: In q
development meeting these require
ments American families will find
things they have long sought but
seldom found in the settlements
where they have had to make homes
Safety and tranquility, the right en-
vironment for children. the institu-
tions required for cultural and social
occasions, an address that represents
them and of which they can be
proud-how many real estate sub
divisions offer home seekers qualities
and assets such as these? Plan for
them in your development and you
will find the mortgage money coming
easily and your customers helping
you to make quick getaway"

an increase OF 15.l in labor costs for
building, based on the costs of indi-

Rents, according to statistics from
