FARRELL (United, Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. °24;—(United Press)—Even in full and complete sympathy with the policy of colle- giate athletic heads that the com- mercial side of the game should not be stressed, it ts impossible to set aside the observation that thn out- standing feeture of the 1923 football Season was the advance the game made as a profitable sport. Many figures suitable for general application in all sections of the country can be obtained from the ‘Western. conference, not because that section ranks others in. football enthusiasm, but for the reason that it 1s better organized. Fi for the season show that more t! $2,000,000 were’ paid by alumni, students and the general public to See the big games of the Western Conference. Certainly as much, no doubt more, was paid to see the big games of the east. More than 200,000 applications ‘were made for tickets to the Army- Navy game and as many would have been for the Big Three classics if it had not been. made clear four or five years ago that it was a waste of time and energy for the public to try to get tickets for those games. Considering that the average price for football tickets, when they can be bought, ranges between three and four dollars and contrasting this no- minal sum with the prices charged for tickets to the big matches, it is not unreasonable to reach the con- clusion that football {s America’s leading and most profitable sport. As long as there can be found no ‘Way to prove arguments on sub- ject, it will always. be questionable as to the rating of football, baseball and boxing as popular public sports. Many followers of professional sports believe, however, that with a stadium large enough to accom. modate .a crowd of any size, there Would be more spectators at any one of a half dozen big football games|’ than could be attracted by a heavy- weight championship fight’ or a world’s series game. The 1923 football season proved hat no colleges of the bigger foot- ball group have a stadium large en. ough to accommodate the crowds that would like to see the big games. The experience of the athletic .as- sociation at the University of Pen- nsylvania can be taken as an ex ample of conditions at any number of other institutions. Last year Pennsylvania opened a new stadium with a capacity of about 60,000, and it was outgrown in one year. At the close of this past season it was suggested that plans be considered immediately to in- crease the seating capacity another 20,000 or 25,000. It must be con- sidered. also, that Penn di not have what could be regarded as a whale of a team. Along general lines the 1923 seq- on proved also that class is even more widely «distributed over™ the country than ft has ever been before and it followed that the. day of a “national champion," without pro. cesses~of production, now frownec Upon by collegiate authorities, is no nearer and perhaps farther away than it ever has been.

E. handler Filling Station ‘When only two sections of the country were able to find a team that could be fairly ranked as a sectional champion, the task of ar- riving at a decision on’ a national champion is utterly impossible with- out subjecting the candidates to actual elimination competition. California was the only team tn the country that succeeded in estab- Ushing a clear title to a sectional championship. Nebraska, in the Mis- siourl Valley conference, cla'med a slight edge on the title, but that claim was nothing to shout about. Illinois and Michigan finished in a tle for first place in the Western Conference, while the south and the southwest had to put the queston of the title up to a vote of sports writers, Yale and Cornell were the out- Standing teams of the eust, with the majority of expert opinions favoring Yale because of a more mefitorious schedule than was accomplished by Cornell. Perhaps the biggest feature of the season in the east was the venzeance with which Yale came out of her football depths and the extreme heights to which the.team ascended after so many years of mediocrity. Another most interest’ng observa- tion was the increasing tentlency of the sport¢ writers to abandon the ‘dea of picking the best team in the ccuntry, Walter Comp came through with his traditional all-American team and, as usual, it started words flying promiscuously. Camp, being a \ioneer and the in- ventor of the idea, can get away with it, but other less illustrious ex- perts have given up the notion. There was only one New York new: Paper that broke out with an all- American team in its own, whereas, in the past it has ben kno®. t@at sports editors wuuld permit and sometimes assign every member of the staff who covered football to set lown an all-American team.
