Surrey Shows Gain, .....
OF Over A Million

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-LPs-Foct-
ball attendance took huge jump
during the 1944 season, and even
after due allowances were made
for a number of schools: which re-
sumed the game this year after -
season or two out of competition,
the overall average showed 8 gam
of 1873 per cent.
The total attendance at 1888 home
games played by. 81 colleges GOV.
cred in the annual Associated

lion and half higher than the at
tendance for 273 games by 81
schools last year. This years ap-
proximate total was 1884, 1893 as
compared to last seasons 4,010,722.
Surprisingly, the resumption Of
football by number of major
southern schools which had drop
ped the game accounted for only a
small part of this increase. The av-
erage attendance per game in the
south showed a 2.8 per cent. de-
crease while gains up to 31.9 per
cent were registered in every 9TH
er section.
The average attendance per
game throughout the nation jump
ed from 1851 in 1943 to 1852 this
season, a gain of 2,O31. The Esggest
average gains in attendance were
made in the far west, 5064 for a
percentage of 31.9 The best aver
age gain, however, was registered
by Southwest Conference teams,
whose home attendance increased
31.9 per cent.
The University of Pennsylvania
held its place at the head of the at
tendance parade with $4,000 spec
tators at eight games. Navy was

PRO CRIDSTERS
| TERMED UNFAIR
Opening Meeting OF 43rd
Annual Minor League
Convention Routine

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. 6-(P)-
Professional football was scolded
by the International League today
as ''unfriendly and unfair COM
petition until after the end of the
baseball season." but the opening
meeting of the 43rd annual Minor
League convention was just an
other routine affair.
Aside from appointing creden-
tials committee headed by J. Al
vim Gardner of the suspended"
Texas league and a resolution COM
mittee under Thomas H. Richard
son of the Eastern league, the base
ball men were more occupied in
drawing post wal boom plans.
Some Of the more daring have
decided to give it a whirl in 1915,
the North Carolina State and Caro-
line circuits having upped the &C.
tive list to IL leagues. A Canadian
league to be made up of Quebec
and Ontario cities and an Indiana
State league also are in the form
ative stage.
Future List
On the future list, but not for
1915, is a New York State circuit
of the American members of the
Canadian-American league which
elected Albert Houghton president
to succeed the Rev. Harold J. Mar
tin
The Middle Atlantic loop is talk
ing of jumping from class "B, "
and Jimmy Hamilton is working
on new circuit around Knoxville
to cover Charlotte, Asheville and
surrounding territory if the Sally
league agrees.
The Texas league decided to re-
main 'suspended' for another
year by So vote against renewal,
and the Canadian-American and
Sally leagues were content to stay
sidelined for the duration. The re-
vived Middle Atlantic and New
York loops are still in the talking
stage and not thinking about 1945.
Delegates get down to serious
work tomorrow when the 10 amend
ments will be considered. Most
leagues spent today deciding how
they would vote, with the South
ern Association proposed bonus
to returning service players the
chief bone of contention. 1t may
bring an open scrap on the floor.
