Stagg, Now IS, Signs
10-Year Contract
AT Susquehanna
BY The Asseeiotsj Press

sELINsGROvE, Pa, Sept. s.
Amos Alonzo Stagg, sr., who has
spent SIS of his IS years as a football
coach, today signed a new 10-yeal
contract to work with his son ir
dealing up gridiron strategy al
Susquehanna University.
II feel great" declared the white
haired coach as he romped around
the practice field to illustrate how
forward passes should be thrown.
Stagg did not seem to mind the
hot sun streaming down on the field
as he barked commands at youthful
backfield men who looked longirgly
at the shade of a nearby apple
orchard.
The veteran coach arrived at Sus-
quehanna last week after trip from
his home at Stockton, Calf.
Terms of the new contract were
not disclosed by the younger Stagg
who announced his fathers plans to
spend the next decade at the college
in the mountains of Central Penn
SylVanla.
For the last IA years the elder
stagg had coached the College of
the Pacific eleven in California,
Prior to that he was head football
coach at the University of Chicago
for 40 years, starting in 1892 and re-
signing in 1882 when he reached his
10th birthday and was no longer
eligible to remain as a member of
the Chicago faculty.
Il will always enjoy coaching foot
ball." said Stagg, land these BOYS
seem so anxious to learn that 1t is
a real pleasure to work with them. -
Father-an son have no plans to
make Susquehanna power on the
gridiron.
"All we want to do is make it
possible for the boys to enjoy a good
clean sport" said the elder Stagg.

Majors Seem Certain
To Shatter Record
Attendance Of '46
By Joe ReichIer
Associated Press Sports Writer

With an unofficial count of H.
s19,733 paid for games through
Labor Day, the major leagues were
5000 admissions short of break
ing the attendance record estab-
lished last year and appeared GER
tain today to exceed the mark as
the pennant races swung into the
final month.
A total of 18,534,444 paid was re-
corded in 1916 which some said new
er again would be approached. The
American League drew 9,621,1 1872 of
that total while the National at
tracted 8,913,262.
This year, the National, involved
in the tighter penant battle. already
has topped last years figures with
9,162,192, a record for the league.
The American has drawn 8,657,581.
The New York Yankees. like last
year, are far out in front In club
attendance, having drawn 197o,542
to the huge Yankee Stadium in So
home dates. They are expected to
crack the mark they established last
year when they drew 2,265.512. They
nave Is more home dates in which
to accomplish it.
Dodgers Pace N. L.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are pacing
the National League clubs with
1.701 .638 cash customers. They have
four more home dates in which to
better their record high of 1,796, 1874
of last year.
Ten clubs, six in the National and
four in the American, already have
passed the. million mark and four
of these have surpassed their previ-
Gus records. The latter four are the
New York Giants, 1.397.975; Cleve-
land Indians, 1,44s.079; Boston
Braves, 1.175,27S. and the Pittsburgh
Pirates, 1,022,839.
Most of the other clubs are ahead
or close to their total turnstile count
of last year. The one keen disap-
pointment is the American Leagues
entry in St. Louis. The last place
Browns are having one of their
poorest years at the gate. having
drawn only 317,13 in SO home dates.
They will be lucky to draw 350,00O
at the rate they are going.
Pittsburgh Surprises.
1t is interesting to note that all
the first division teams in the two
leagues have exceeded million. The
biggest surprise is the huge crowds
that have attended the Pittsburgh
Prirates' home games. The Pirates
currently are tied for last place in
the National League. With the addi-
ton of Hank Greenberg, it was felt
that the Bucs' home gate would i'm
prove considerably, but hardly any
body expected the club to attract a
million, something it never had done
before.
In the only games played yester-
day, the Cleveland Indians defeated
the St. Louis Browns in Cleveland,
80, to move within three games of
third place, and Washington topped
the Athletics in Philadelphia, IA,
Red Embree blanked the Browns
until the ninth when they scored
two runs and drove him from the
box.
Dale Mitchell. rookie Cleveland
outf1elder, got three hits to lift his
batting average to 1892. Hank Ed
wards and Les Fleming drove in
the Indians runs. Ellis Kinder was
the loser.

Eight Army Gridders
On College Squad
Facing Pro Team
BY the kssocioted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Anguished
opponents who wondered the last
three football seasons whether any,
thing short of graduation could stop
Armys incompatible Doc Blanch-
ard and Glenn Davis may have the
answer after tonight's All-Star game
at the Polo Grounds.
The whirling Mr.. Outside and
line smashing Mr.. Inside, along
with six other members of the I'M

squad of Eastern college grid greats

the National Football League in
the Tribune Fresh Air Funds ninth

It didn't take much Of a buildup
to sell out the house for this one
after B. and D. we're given top
billing for what undoubtedly will be
the last football game of their
careers. Every one of the $4,000
pasteboards has been sold and none
of the ticket windows will be
manned.
Arnold and Biles to Play.
Blanchard and Davis, hold out of
scrimmage to be at top physical
condition, will have two other for
mer Army players with them In the
starting lineup. Arnold CMr. In1Be-
tween) Tucker will be at quarter
back and Shelton Biles at tackle.
Also on the squad are Center Jim
Snos, Tackle Harold Tavzel, End
Tom Hayes and Fullback Bill West.
The presence of these Army
luminaries revives an old question
as to what would have happened
had the national collegiate cham
pions been matched against a top
flight pro combination. So while
tonight's game probably will not
prove anything too conclusive, 1t
nevertheless will offer an interest
ing test-and provide the armchair
quarterbacks with some fuel for
argument.

than Cape Town, nesting as it does
at the foot of Table Mountain, a
f1at-topped peak $500 feet high,

forms of agriculture, and is studded

their restraining bonds.
AS the former Allies began look

picion than they retained for theil
wartime enemy, leaders like Adolf
Hitler saw the opportunity-and
used it.
Territorially the Versailles treaty

SAGE and Lorraine to France, North
Schleswig to Denmark and large
section of Prussia to Poland. The
Saar, handed over to League of
Nations commission, reverted to
Germany after a plebiscite Is years
later.
Characteristically, it was the

will be to insure that they are made
to stick this time.
Biggest of the territorial changes
so far designated (put not yet con-
firmed) is the broad region east of
the Oder-Neisse River line which
was placed under Polish admins
tration at the Potsdam meeting Of
Big Three leaders.
Already the Poles have expelled
2019,979 Germans, largely from this
area, and by the end of the year
they claim that 4,5O0,00o Poles will
have been settled in it. This region
comprises one of the Third Reich's

North Africa got its share of the
spotlight during the war, and now
a good will tour by Britain's royal
family is giving the southern half
of the Dark Continent a play in
the news.
King George VI, Queen Elizabeth
and the Princesses Elizabeth and
Margaret Rose are bent on seeing
as much of South Africa-10,000
miles of it, at least-as they can
pack into two months of travel
They will go mostly by royal train,
one specially built and shipped out
from England, but will make many
size trips by motor car and even an
occasional fight by plane.
The tour started February II at
Cape Town and will end April "a
at that historic metropolis of South
Africa, founded by the Dutch in
1852 and ceded to Britain in 1906.
Most of the time will be spent
in various parts of the Union of
South Africa, one of the domin-
ions of the British Commonwealth,
through the federation in 1910 of
the former self-governing colonies
of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal,
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State. The union is big. with an
area of nearly 100000 square miles
(twice the size of Texas, though
with a relatively scanty population
of about 100000, somewhat over
100000 being whites; the non
white balance being mostly Negroes
of many kinds, ranging in condi-
ton from civilization to savagery
However, the royal party will also
briefly visit Rhodesia, British
colony, lying to the northward OF
the union ana almost as large again.
Series of Celebrations.
The royal tour was decided upon
months ago, and ever since ther
the whole of British South Africa
has been in an increasingly hectic
tempo of preparation. The ladies'
especially have been in a dithe.'
over wardrobes suitable for royal
presentations. The tour itself will
be a series of celebrations staged
by every community, large or small,
on the royal itinerary.

Big Four Remembers
German Comeback
Last Time.
Bv Robert ". Cool

When the Big -Four Foreign Min
listers start to frame peace treaties
for Germany and Austria at Mos
COW in March, they will face even
greater difficulties than troubled the
victors of World War I in 1918-19.
In addition to solving new political
problems of the first magnitude, the
representatives of Britain. France,
the United States and the Soviet
Union will have to study the lessons
of the treaty of Versailles which,
by its failure. helped pave the way
for Germany's military comeback.
The peace treaty signed in June,
1919, just outside Paris demanded
reparations of Germany and at
tempted to insure her disarmament
as a safeguard against, future ag-
gression. The reparations were not
paid, and within is years rearma-
ment was furiously in progress. Less
than decade saw the treaty change
