Sets Crowd Mark

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Less than a
year ago the major leagues wondered
if it would be possible to complete
another wartime baseball schedule
They did it. Not only did they
finish out the schedule and a siz-
zling World Series, but in the
American League they set new
au-time record of 5,580,420 cash
customers for the season.
Those figures were revealed yes
terday by League President Will
Harridge and reflected an increase
of 1862 over the 1914 mark. They
exceed by l46,629, the former record
of 5.433, ,791 set in 1910.
Another red-hot race, with De-
troit winning, was given by Har-
ridge as the probable reason for the
record attendance. Detroit headed
the list of clubs in total attendance
with new mark of ,280,341 custom
ers, new record for Briggs Stadium
and 7,165 more than last years
total.
Every club in the league except
st. Louis. 1914 champion, and last
place Philadelphia, attracted bigger
crowds than last year. Harridge ex-
planned that in addition to the rec
ord total of paid admissions this
year, more than 100000 servicemen
were admitted free to the games.
New York was second in total paid
admissions with 88l ,845, and was
followed by Chicago with 657,981;
Washington, 652,66o; Boston, 6O3.-
1894; Cleveland, 55S,l82; St. Louis

Indiana Gains Fourth
Place, While Irish
Drop 10 Seventh
BY HAROLD CLAASSEN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Army's
smashing victory over Notre Dame
Saturday convinced virtually every
one but the Pacific Coast football
experts that the Cadets are the No.
l college grid team in the country.
Of the 20 votes cast in the San
Francisco region. 13 of the critics
relegated Army, No. l team all sea-
son in the weekly Associated Press
poll, to second and gave firsts to
Navy, to ST. Mary's and to Ala
bama.
Only other dissenter among the
105 voters was Harold Harris of the
Knoxville News-Sentinel, who rated
Alabama above the Cadets.
AS it was, Army garnered 81 first
place nominations and grabbed Sec
ond on each of the remaining bal
lots.
Navy, which showed its best form
of the season in downing Michigan
Saturday, moved into the runnerup
slot behind the team the Middies
will meet in Philadelphia on De-
cember l. The Sailors climbed from
fourth place, while Notre Dame
skidded from second to seventh.
'Bama Retains Third Spot.
Alabama retained third place and
was followed in order by Indiana,
St. Mary's, Pennsylvania, Notre
Dame, Oklahoma A. and NJ, Ohio
State and Holy Cross.
Michigan and Columbia, two
members of the elite group a week
ago, dropped out following their de-
feats Saturday and their places were
taken by the Oklahoma Aggies and
Holy Cross, pair Of unbeaten out
fits.
On a basis of 10 points for each
frst-place vote, 9 for second, etc.
the Cadets built up an aggregate of
1,036 points, compared with Navy's
879 in second place.
Hugh Devore, coach of the Notre
Dame team, said last night before
leaving for South Bend, Ind, that it
was not disgrace to lose to Army.
That is one of the greatest teams
ever to represent college and in Doc
Blanchard Army probably has one
of the greatest fullbacks Of all time
We found him harder to stop than
Glenn Davis" Devore explained.
Army Real Champ, Devore Says.
What convinced me that the
Army team, as a whole, is great" !"
Devore added, lis that the players
we're driving just as hard in the
fourth quarter after the game was
won as they did at the start. That's
the sign of a real champion"

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.-Coach
Bernie Bierman today started a
hurried patchwork job on the Min
nesota football team following the
unexplained absence of most of his
regulars from yesterdays practice.
With but four days to go before
the team leaves to play Iowa Sat-
urday, Bierman worked with a total

The wholesale absenteeism came
after Bierman earlier Monday had
issued a statement in which, among
other things. he declared the "the
entire squad had loafed all season. y
The harsh words came after the
Gophers had suffered their third
consecutive defeat, a 49-0 trounc-

Among the first stringers whose
absence from practice was unex-
planned were: Fullbacks Vic Kulbit-

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Commis-
sioner A. B. Happy" Chandler has
refused to recognize a protest from
the Negro National and American
Leagues against the manner in
which President Branch Hickey of
the Brooklyn Dodgers signed Jackie
Robinson to play for his Montreal
farm club.
Chandler, who was elected by or
ganized baseball and is paid by the
two major leagues, actually has no
legal authority over Negro baseball.
From Versailles, KY, Chandler said
he had received a letter of protest
from the Negro leagues, but added
that it did not constitute bona
fide dispute for consideration by his
Office.

rich, Leo Presley, Merlyn Condit
and Sal Rosato, all behind the rest
of the class.
De Groot was much impressed
with Condit's work against the
Yankees and expects the former
Brooklyn runner to be key man in
the Tribes offense.

temperamental and swell-headed Is

If next Sundays Redskin-B Bear
game is anything like their past
brawls, it'll be "call the wagon,
Casey" because the gentleman play
rough in upper-case letters. Last
Sundays pot-walloping was mild
compared to the brand of knuckle-
singing you'll see, unless Elmer Lay
den sends four of his best whistle
blowers to handle the game.
The Bears have been down all sea-
son. They touched bottom by drop
ping their first five games and their
lone victory in seven starts was a
1924 upset over the Packers two
weeks ago. That's the tipoff on
Sundays duel, because the Bears
always are up for the Packers and
Redskins. Possibly it is overenthusi-
asm that makes the games SO rough
and it could be because the Bears
have couple of players like, well,
like Lee Artoe. He can't let his right
hand know what the left is doing for
fear it might lose its temper and
start slugging.

1t won't be a deliberately rough
game if the coaches can help it
Fouling makes team look bad and
reflects on the coaches. 1t keeps
the score down and loses ball games
You'd need an adding machine tc

much whistle blowing makes the
game salty from the spectators
