ATLANTA. Oct. 21-A mid-season
roll call Of outstanding gridiron per-
formers in Southeastern Conference
ranks furnished ample proof today
that it will be scrap for places on
the all-star team to be named in De-
cember.
Early reports from observers OF
games played already brought to hand
a classy array of prospects for the
mythical eleven.
There was one carry-over from the
1887 team, big Eddie Cato, Louisiana
State tackle. and If the 205-pound
bulwark of the Tiger line maintains
the play he has shown in games thus
far he not only will be hard to keep
off the conference eleven. but is likely
to gain all-America honors.
At this stage of the 1888 gridiron
show, the Southeastern has two other
candidates for the all-America team in
George Cafego, Tennessee's ace half
back, and Warren (Bronco) Brun-
ner, Tulane's great halfback. These
players have only to maintain the pace
already set to receive serious con-
sideration.
There is an overflow OF fine ball
carriers and linemen in the confer
ence, numbering among them several
triple threats.

NEW GATE RECORD

CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Professional
football, smashing on toward an all
time attendance record for second
consecutive year, definitely has come
Of age.
The National League, in its 10Th sea-
son. already is 20 per cent ahead OF
the record attendance figures which
garnished the 1887 campaign, and
President Joe F. Carr believes 80
per cent gain would be registered by
seasons end.
At the close of last seasons play,
there were some who felt that the
leagues attendance mark may have
been flash in the pan" preliminary
to a falling of in crowds this year.
Game Is Gate Puller.
The spectacular performance Of
Sammy Baugh, Washington's ace
passer, undoubtedly doomed business
at the gate, yet some observers in
clined toward the opinion that unless
he maintained his pace the crowds this
season would be smaller.
The reverse has been true, even
though Baugh is down in sixth place
among the play-for-pay aerialist stars
this season. On a percentage basis,
Baugh ranks behind Ed Danowski of
New York, Jack Robbins and Dwight
Sloan of Chicagos Cardinals, Frank
Filchock Of Pittsburgh and Washing
ton and Bill Hartman, also of Wash
ington. Yet each week the fans turned
out in such numbers that 189,151
spectators have watched the last eight
league contests.

CORNELL BACK TRICKED

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 81 P.-
Now it comes out. Ever since Syra-

set up the winning touchdown in the
last two minutes.
Cornell was leading, 1912, and
Eichler had just hit the line for 6
yards and a first down, when, to
everybody's amazement, he tossed the
lateral that Phil Allen of Syracuse
snatched.

Marking Opening of Paving

A delegation from this city of nearly
30 attended the ribbon cutting cere-
rnony on Highway 169 on Thursday
afternoon. The large delegation would
have been still larger but owing to the
change of dates many had made other
arrangements for the day which could
not be broken. The original date set
was for Friday afternoon and evening.
The ceremony was staged about mid
way between Tower and Virginia and
was attended by delegations from Vir-
ginia, Tower, Duluth and Ely. j. E.
Ellison of st. Paul, assistant state high
way commissioner, cut the ribbon held
by two young ladies, representing Tower
and Virginia. Mayor Gunderson Of
Tower and Harry S. Gillespie, president
of the Virginia Chamber Of Commerce,
took an active part in the ceremony
along with Mr.. Ellison.
That evening a banquet was served
at the Tower school building to nearly
$50 people. The banquet was served by
the Ladies Aid of the Presbyterian
church and Herman T. Olson served as

banquet were the Rev. H. r. Browne,

They urged that youngsters be in

most certainly would result during

were present Sunday, would be dis
