The late rally started in the rails and

.C0ASTING
ALONG
BY HAL WOOD


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. (UP)
Two types of fOotball-prOfes-
sional and college-will get their
first real clash test" in the west
when the 1916 gridiron season rolls
around.
While the long-established college
game generally will get in on the
ground floor by having most Of the
schools back in action this fall, it
will not be full-scale play until an
other year has passed.
BY that time, the big-time pro-
feSSiOnalS will be ready to operate
and the ability Of football fans to
support the game twice a week in
their respective communities rather
than once will decide just how far
the professionals will be able to go.
MADE 1T PAY
The pros have made it click in the
east-to the tune of big profits.
But it too kyears of building for
them to reach their current pop
ularity.
When 1916 rolls around these ma
jor colleges will be in action: WASH
ington - University of Washington,
Washington State, and for a "fu-
ture," Gonzaga University at Spo-
kane could be added Oregon -
University Of Oregon, Oregon State
IdahO-UniverSity of Idaho Mon
tana-University of Montana. Utah
University of Utah, Utah State
and Brigham Young Arizona -
University Of Arizona. Nevada ~
University of Nevada.
California-University of Califor-
MIA, St. Mary's, Santa Clara, Stan
ford, University Of Southern Cali
fornia, UCLA.
These teams annually Tin peace
times drew Saturday afternoon or
Sunday crowds of 10000 to 100000
fans.
The professionals, strictly on a
minor league scale, have been oper-
ating out here for five seasons as
the Pacific Coast league and last
year, another organization known
as the American loop, which folded
before end Of the season.
The Pacific Coast organization
again will be back in action this
year - and probably next with
teams at Seattle, Portland, Oak
land, San Jose, San Francisco, Los
Angeles, Hollywood and San Diego
In 1916 they will be joined by the
All-American Conference, which is
ranS-cOntinent outfit that
stretches from New York and Mi
ami in the east and south, to San
Francisco and Los Angeles on the
Pacific.
The All-American Conference will
be the first sports organization to
actually span the continent and
upon its success may hinge the fu-
ture expansion plans Of professional
baseball, hockey, basketball, etc.
There have been very few plans
for new stadia in the west and it
is probable there will be none built
within the next 10 years. The pre-
war era Of "stadiumitis" fixed near
ly every school wit ha big oval, and
most of the major cities also own
at least one such place suitable for
the professionals

Here sA Lesson For Those
Who Gossip Over The Phone

SO extensively.
For the woman she telephones
to tell a bit of gossip because 81
know you won't repeat it, my
dear" in all likelihood passes il
on by telephone to three others,
who in turn pass it on to Just
those they are sure they can trust,
and so on.
In way that roundabout
method of broadcasting telephone
conversations is likely to prove
even more embs-1a sing than il
they had gone out over radio
transmitter.
For stories get changed and en-
iarged with the telling. And the
FEMININE mind often reads mean
lngs into words that weren't &C.
tualIy there. NShe didn't actually
say so, but I'm sure that is what
she meant"
so the woman with telephonitis
needn't feel too sorry for the
family whose private conversa-
t1ons were accidentally broadcast.
Pretty much the same thing is
happening every day to her own
commences. For no telephone line
can be regarded as private so long
as there is someone on the other
END OF the connection.
