Crowds Don't Always Demond
Winner, Coost Fans Show

Here in Los Angeles we have
further proof that football crowds
do not demand a winner always.
Both Southern California and
Notre Dame have dropped far below
their normal levels this fall, yet from
$4,000 to 10000 spectators are headed
for the big Municipal Stadium where
Elmer Layden and Howard Jones
will attempt to wrench one final
jewel from the toad's head of past
defeats.
There will be no seasons ranking
involved, as the case was last year
and so many years before. But still
it will be Notre Dame and Southern
California meeting in an old rivalry
that in years past has produced
some of the greatest games ever
played.
Before heading West again on
another ramble I ran into a group
of Old Blues from Yale. They were
bluer than Ellis favorite color You
couldn't blame them. Yale has
meant through the years more to
football than any other team. now

HpeClal Correspondent OF iHt oldl.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. (NA.
NAD.-Full proof of the rapid prog
ress pro football has made will be
shown IN Washington on Sunday.
There will be only $4,000 present,
but if there were room enough there
would be 100000, or perhaps more.
For the meeting of the Washington
Redskins and the Chicago Bears is
sure to be one of the big thrillers Of
1910, a thrilling year for sport.
When you can see Sammy Baugh
pitching against Sid Luckman there
isn't much else to add. When you
can see Dick Todd thrown against
the running game the Bears carry
into action you will get another
double eyeful. The Bears have the
edge with better running attack,
but Baugh at his best is terrific
This has been the all-time top of
pro seasons and the finale should
measure up to every expectation in
the way of speed, skill and action.
