The entire plant, with its many stands and separate stadias for the various sports, will not be completed until next spring, but nothing of a primary nature remains to be done. The grounds have been mapped and excavated. The swimming pool has been dug, and the foundation for the gigantic stands which will parallel the runaing track has been laid. It is on this section of the plant that intense activity is being concentrated, and it is to be completed first. Colombes was formerly a race track at which many of the famous turf events of France were held. In later years the courses nearer the center of Paris have been .finding more and more favor with turf en- thusiasts, with the result that Colombes has gradually lost its prestige. Many of the events that were run at Colombes now take place over the Longchamps and Auteuil caurses, although the latter, in the Bois de Boulogne, still plays a rather minor role. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ING a game in the annual high school foot ball champion- ship series has been done so infrequently by a Business team st that one has to delve deep into scholastic gridiron records to disgover anvthing resembling that surprising 7-to-6 victory scored by the Stenographers yesterday over Eastern. A eareful search has revealed that Business was last officially credited with a triumph in 1916, and, | oddly, its victim in that year was Eastern, which. was beaten, 13 to 0. In 1917 the Stenographers really nosed out Eastern, 13 to 12, but an erroneous ruling by game officials gave Eastern the contest by 14 to 13. The Easterners had punted over the Business goal and a Stenographer attempting to run the ball was tackled behind the line. The play was adjudged a safety, giving Eastern two points, when jt actually was a toychback, and under no conditions could have been anything else, Siice titen, untll yesterday, Busl-|fumbled by Smith. It could do noth- s | v later ness tok its trouncings with star- | ing though. and a few minutes ‘ling Tegularity, the only break com- | forward passes put Eastern within I ing in 1920, when Eastern was play- | ed to a scoreless tie. And yester-| day's success over a team generally expected to win was rather fortunate, ‘or the Stenographers were outrush- ~d &nd outpassed by the East Capitol | Street eleven.

Smith had to kick from behind his goal, but Capt. Greenwood . o hed through the Eastern line, blacked the effort and recovered the ball for a toueh- | down. - Waty then booted the point 1hat was to prove Business' margain victory. | Both teams threatened to count | in the second period, but Watt missed | his mark with a - drop-kick from the | Iastern 18-yard line, and after East- ern had carried the ball to the Busi- ness' 1-yard line it grounded & for- ward pass in the end zomne for a touchback. Business also threatened in the third period and it was this| attack that gave Eastern its touch- <down chance. The Stenographers had come into | Dos: sion of the ball on Eastern’ 28-yard line by blocking a punt, and Jaunched an aerial attack But Roudabush, Eastern back, intercepted the oval at the line of serimmage, and. dodging several would be tae- | klers on the way, completed & 72-yard aprint to goal.

HARVARD STRIVING RUTGERS NO MATCH FOR WEST VIRGINIA was and | | NEW YORK, November a steady tramp, tramp, smash dash on the rain-soaked, sitmy foot! ball field at the Polo Grounds yes- terday afternocn—and nearly all the footprints led toward the Rutgers goal line. West Virginia's versatile and powerful eleven, with a brilllant- | 1y conceived and well executed attack | and a stanch defense, proved alto- gether too much for the Scarlet from the banks of the Raritan. With a touchdown in each period the uns defeated Mountaineers scored an im- pressive triumph by 27 to 7—a suc- cess which did much to make up for the rather disappointing showing which West Virginia made in the re- | cent tie here with Penn State. Rutgers played determinedly until | it was played out and at times verged on brilllance with the forward pass. But that was not sufficlent to make a real contest out of this annual meet- ing with the Mountain eleven. Rut- gers had brilliant individuals, but West Virginia had mare of them. And West Virginla was prismatic not only individually, but as a unit It was a smooth, cohesive and rhythmic combination which Rutgers was call- ed on to fight, and practically from the start the task of the Scarlet was! T—it Each major sport, judged on Olym- plo standards, will have a separate stadium and each stadium will have its auxiliary training grounds. The swimming pool is the one exception. A track and fleld grounds will be built adjoining the stadium in which the official Olymplo competitions will take place. This training ground will be exactly like the official arena, so that no athlete will be handicapped by training on ground forelgn to that on which he will have to compete. The jumping pits will be In the same position in the trial stadium as in the officlal one, and even the pole- vaulting pits will be located in a position which exactly coineldes with the official ones. The running track will be a duplicate of the official one. The tennis stadium in which all the official finals of the Olymples will be played ls removed from the track and field ‘arena and will_have four stands for spectators. The stands will completely inclose the one offi- cial court, although an additional one may be built. For the tennis play- ers four additional courts have been constructed on a plot of ground out- ride the officlal tennts stadium. Tt is on these courts that the practice %essions will be held, the official one being reserved for ‘actual Olymple play. The practice courts will be exact duplicates of the Olymplo court, &nd all during the games the con- | ditions of all the courts will be kept @3 near the same as s possible. Plans for Foot Ball. The tennis stadium, with its four practice courts, will lie between the offictal foot ball field and the three practice foot ball flelds. The offictal field will have a stand on either side running from one end line to the other, while the two ends will be left open. The stande which parallel the sides will be covered, while those at the ends, in case any are built there, Will be open. It is the plan of the international Olymplc committee to bulld stands at the end lines only in |case they are required. Near the foot ball field will be the swimming pool. This will be com- plately surrounded with stands under which the competitors will find showers “and lockers. Two _stesl towers will be built for the diving exhibitions. The towers will be on oPbosite sides of the pool and each stand from which the results of the competitions will be announced. While the officlals plan to erect stands to the extent required at most of the stadiums, the seating accom- modations for the track and fleld events have been planned to an exact total and seats will be erected ac- cordingly. The present arrangements call for seats for 60,000 persons. The main stands will parallel the sides of the running track, while the bleach- ers will be at both ends of the track, 50 that the entire fleld will be closed by stands. Only the stands along the be equipped with an officlals' | to be plainly numbered, and the thir- ty-four entrances, each with a odr- responding exit, will be plainly mark- ©d and numbered. Only a small corps of ushers, in comparison to the large crowd that will attend, will be re quired to handle the seating. Dange: of fire will be almost negiigible, a: the stands are to be constructed of fron Men will be stationed at the entrances and exits at all times, and every possible precaution will be taken to see that the spetcators are protected. A hospital with every !modern facility will be erected just outside the stadlum, and frst-ald stations will be erected at various places about the entire plant. Under the stands surrounding the track and field arena will be spacious quarters for the athletes. There will be clubrooms and lounging rooms, refreshment stands and first-ald sta- tions. More than 150 showers will be installed in the locker room and a large force of attendants will be kept on duty at all times in the lock- er and shower rooms. ‘There will be only one entrance to the track and field grounds. and this will be through the assembiing room under the stands. The International committes states that this plan has been adopted %o that only competi- tors and working officials will be on the field during competitions. This, the committee states, will prave of advantage to athletes, spectators and officlals. The assembling room will bo_spacious. Large parking spaces have been t aside for automobiles and an ef- fiolent garage, under Olympic man- agement, will be operated on the {grounds’ Special trains will run di- {rectly from Paris to the plant. The istation at Colombie has heon deemed inadequate, 50 & new one will be constructed at the grounds and spurs will be run to the new station. A bus company has been granted per- mission to run a large fleet between | Paris and tha plant at stated in- terval® Police protection has also been arranged to some extent. Spe- clal efforts will be made to see that the epectator from forelgn countries is courtecusly and comfortably taken jcare of. NEW YORK U.

Other teams do not forward pass in their own territory except when behind. You can really get a rule for and agalnst forward passing under most every conceivable condi- | tion. Some coaches frown on the | forward pass except on a third or fourth down, others belleve it is best exccuted when attempted on the firat down, basing their argument on the | fact that a forward pass is not ex- pected at this time and that it has @ better chance of succeeding than if it is used on a third down when the opposition expects it. Roper of Princeton followed this| policy a year or so ago, but that does not mean he will continue it this season. Coaches often play the pass under certain conditions one sea- | son. When they learn these condl- tions are known to the opposition they change their policy in hope of catching the opposition off guard. The reason for the suppeaition that it is bad policy to pass in your own territory is due to the fact that many passes act a3 boemerangs, that is, the ‘oppositian catches them. It is a good policy to prevent the op- nosition gaining posseasion of the ball in your own territory. Teams have to take chances and no rule ap- plies at all times in a game like foot ball. Certain it Is there is no fixed rule about when to forward pass. (Copyright, 1923.) JONES HOLDS YALE TO LIGHT PRACTICE NEW HAVEN, Conn., November 7.— Omitting scrimmage practice yéster- day, Head Coaeh Tad Jones drove the varsity eleven through an heur's sig- nal rehearsal and a-brief scrimmage with the third team. No actual foot ball has been or- dered for the regulars since Satur- day's games with West Point, and the coaches, under advice by Trainer Geerge Connors, have adopted the policy of a single day's serimmage this week. This will be held today and will be the only direct prepara- tion for the game on Saturday with the University of Maryland, which defeated Penn, 3 ta 0. last month. No changes were ordered in the varsity line-up, and the coaches ap- parently have abandoned their usual procedure of reorganising their team two weeks before the Prineeton game. Practically the same combi- nation will be used against the Crim- s0n and the Tiger, which subdued the Army last Saturday.

It was intended only as a courtesy to my friends there. But I soon found that the smoking of a La Palina was a treat to these men, for in their country there is no cigar like it. It is not possible to make, in Cuba, a cigar of the quality of La Palina at a price within reason. The import duty charged by that country on tobacco of the quality I use as wrap- per, alone is so great that it prohibits the manufacture of La Palina. The fact that they cannot buy, in Cuba, a cigar made of the fine tobaccos contained in La Palina is not the only reason prominent Cuban tobacco men prefer it. They find in La Palina a mild, full-bodied flavor contained in no other cigar, and which is the same each year. It is gratifying to me to see that the opinion of these expert judges of tobacco qual- ity is shared, in this country, by so many men whose only requirement of a cigar is t it S CQONGRESS CIGAR COMPANY Philadelphia - 10c Blunt 2for25c Magnolia Perfocto Grande, 3 for 50¢, Also numerous other popular shapes and sizes.
