Football Appeal Is Far
Beyond Winning End

The question has been asked about
football attendance this fall.
1t has held up remarkably in
places where teams had previously
been badly beaten. For example,
Yale and Dartmouth, after rickety
starts, drew exceptionally well. The
crowd came out to see real foot
ball game-one that wouldn't be a
slaughter.
The most surprising crowd of the
year came to see Army and Notre
Dame. Army looked to be hopelessly
outclassed. AS far as comparative
scores were concerned, it didn't even
figure to have an outside chance.
Almost every one was talking about
the massacre ahead. Yet they
played to capacity, close to 10000.
After PENIS defeat by Michigan
there still we're 10000 on hand when
Penn returned to meet Navy.
Defeats no longer cut down the
attendance-at least, to no great ex-
tent.
After Ohio State had lost three
In a row, there still were over $4,000
on hand for the Indiana game, after
Indiana also had failed three times
IN four starts.
All this shows the tremendous
interest in football as a game that
carries popular appeal far beyond
the winning end.

MutueIs Amazingly
Successful in N. Y. .
In First Season
Over l02 Million Is Bet
At Five Race Courses
During ia Doys
By the Associated Press.

~ INC AsSoClAJtQ FEeoS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Figures
eloquently tell the story of New
York's amazingly successful first
racing season with the mutuels.
The five tracks operated TIA days
The total money bet was s103, 259,-
39l, for the astounding daily aver
age of s593, 444. The attendance
(turnstile) came to 2,03S, 154, or H.
713 per day.
The State and tracks drew a total
OF $1l,145,4 54. or $5,572,7 27 a side.
These figures are possible this
early through a check of those an
nounced each day throughout the
season by various racing associa-
tions, and are not the official State
figures. However, they will differ
very little.
The five tracks combined must
have cleared more than $4,000, 600
AS nearly as can be estimated
Empire City and Aqueduct pro-
badly Melted around 100000 each;
Jamaica more than 100000: Bel
mont Park close to 100000 and
Saratoga, where there Is no such
population to draw from, over $780,
600.
These estimates are based upon
daily income and expenditures, and
1t must be remembered that many
thousands Of dollars either have
been or will be dumped back into
improvements and modernization.

ATLANTA, Nov. 6.-Five major

Only one major team-North

Split Fields System
For Women S Golf
Made Standard
Plan So Successful Here
To Be Followed in l94l
Meets at D. c. Clubs

The split field system Of playing
the major feminine golf tourna-
ments around Washington inaugu-
rated in 1910. will be continued
during 1941. Mrs. L. Weible. presi-
dent-to-be of the Women's District
Golf Association, and her committee
members, are all in favor of con-
tinuing the method of splitting the
field by handicaps between two
courses to avoid congestion and
finish earlier.
From every quarter have come
reports this year that the split field
system had worked out satisfactorily
with the minimum of delay in actual
play and greater ease of operation
in every way.
Another piece of news along the
feminine links front is that the
Maryland State women's champion
ship will &c either to Chevy Chase
or Kenwood in 1941, with the odds,
so the rumors say. fevoring Ken
wood as the scene Of the title tour
ney.
Tournament Due Hear.
The Old Line State championship
was played at Baltimore this year
and won by Mrs. Walter r. Stokes
Next year, under the rotation system
which apparently has been decided
upon by the Maryland State Golf
Association. the tournament will
come to Washington.
Chevy Chase and Kenwood al
ready have been approached, but
while Chevy Chase is understood
not TO have given a definite answer
Kenwood wants the tourney. The
women's District title affair was
played at Kenwood this year, while
Chevy Chase held the women's Mid
die Atlantic affair.
With change in administration
coming within the Women's District
Golf Association, several new wrink-
les may come about in tournament
operation next year. One of these
probably will be in the team matches
where the trend is now toward
playing the second and third team
contests with handicaps, while the
first teams play at scratch. But the
split field system will remain.
System Speeds Play.
Prior to 1910. the increasing size
Of the fields were slowing up play
so much that several competitor,
said they rather would not play
than take four hours and longer tc
finish a round of golf.
But with the field split by handi-
caps, the low handicap players, whc
go faster than the high handicap
gals, have not had that trouble thi.
year. The tournaments have ended
by early afternoon, the men have
not been held UP by the late fem.
mime starters and every one ha.
been happy
With entry lists of IT'S and more
the job Of getting women of the
tee before noon assumed big pro-
portions, particularly on a course
like Columbia. where only one
starting is available. That method
will be continued next year.

Sullivan pointed out it would be

rather than force him to undergo the

with its possible serious aftermath.

swimmers who already have proven

youngsters who think they can show
speed in the water.
Young Stars to Be Trained.
Every one who applies will get
a chance and all who show posi-

now Hengstler and Armstrong have
several young swimmers under their
wings who won't be on the team
this year, but who promise to star
in future seasons.
The Ambassador will begin its
campaign as soon as the winter
season opens after Christmas.
Teams will be sent to all outstand-
ing meets in the east with the pro-
gram to reach climax in March
when the A. A. u. diving champion
ships for this area will be held there.
There's a new deal all around at
the pool and an attempt is being
made to popularize winter water
sports for every one. A Govern
ment swimming association is being
formed with team from every de-
partment. Water polo also is on
the program and instruction in Red
Cross life saving and swimming is
given four nights a week. Partic-
ular attention is being paid young
