Briante, stellar full- It was his first season as a regular in the back field, but he exceeded all expectations and came through with flying colors.

High School and makes back of the eleven. expected of him. his home there. His off-tackle smashes and his sweeping end runs are his main weapons on attack. The fromer is probably his best play, as he has the weight and speed tage of even the smallest opening, and if there is no open- ing he makes one. Briante is one of the few three major s men in the university, being a regular on the varsity basket ball and hase ball teams. OHN F. of the purple. N. Y. U. boys.

Meehan came here last year from Syracuse University, where year after year he had turned out for the Orange some of the strongest teams ever to represent that institution, his team of 1923 being cousidered by many experts Never in his reign at Syracuse did “Feank Briante Capta N.

(“CHICK") MEEHAN, mentor of the New York University gridders, turned out the hest team that has ever represented the wearers A tie game with the strong Columbia eleven last season was really the most remarkable feat of the his teams lose more than two games in any season. ‘While at Syracuse Coach Meehan turned out some wonderful men, including Lynn Waldorf, Joe Alexander, Evander McRae, John McBride and Mordecal Starobin. His lines were considered the best in the Iast year after year in defensive play, only one team, Colgate, scoring more than one touchdown in any one game, His best plays are his fake kick on second down from buck formation and his criss-cross line bucks. Meehan was in the insurance business previous to his assuming the duty of head coach of foot ball here, but he has been forced to forego this to devote his full time to his coaching dutles. Coach Meehan is a graduate of Syracuse University, and was one of the best quarterbacks that university ever turned out. The schedule for New York University for this season follows: September 25--Niagara University, at New York. October 2—Allegheny University, at New York.

University STADIA SEAT 520,000 By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 38.— More than 400,000 regular seats and 120,000 in temporary stands will be available this Fall to spectators of Western Conference foot ball games, an in- crease of some 50,000 over the seating capacity of 1925. Enlargement of the University of Chicago stadium,” Stagg Field, and construction of a new stadlum at Northwestern University are respon- sible for the greater capacity, and these projects bring the total invest- ment now represented by “Big Ten” stadia to $6,820,000. Northwestern will have expended a million dollars on its new stadium when the 1926 season opens, and it will have a seating capacity of 40,000, which the expenditure of another mil- lion dollars will increase to 50,000 in completing the structure. The University of Chicago has en- larged its seating facilities from 32,000 to 45,000 and the project now under way contemplates seats for 70,000 when finished. Plans already drafted call for an ad- ditional expenditure of $3,500,000 on Big Ten arenas, the principal items in which are the additional million to be spent at Northwestern; the construc- tion of a new field at the University of Michigan, where Ferry Field, oldest gridiron in the conference, is serving its last year, and a $500,000 fleld at Towa. The largest stadium remains that of Ohio State, with permanent seats for 63,064, and an ‘“overflow” capacity of 20,000 more. It also represents the largest investment, $1,800,000, which will be equaled by Illinois, however, when it finishes the great halls under its plant. The Illineis stadium seats 65,000, with temporary seats to accom- modate 12,000 more. The smallest stadium in the confer- ence is the memorial edifice dedicated last Fall at Indiana, with permanent seats for 21,74 CAPABLANCA CHALLENGED FOR TITLE BY ALEKHINE BUENOS AIRES, September 3 (). —Alexander Alekhine, the Russian chessmaster, has sent a cablegram to Jose Capablanca of Cuba, the world champion, challenging him to a match for the title to be played in Buenos Aires next year. The Argentine Chess Club, under the auspices of which the challenge was sent, has deposited $500 to guarantee Alekhine’s defl. The club will offer a purse of $10,000 and pay all expenses of the participants in the match. It SPORTS By the Associated Press.

GERMAN’S HALF-MILE RECORD IS ACCEPTED NEW YORK, September 3 (#).— For the first time since before the war Germany {s represented among the world record holders in track and fleld sports as a result of the offictal acceptance of the half-mile mark of 1:51 3-5 made by Dr. Otto Peltzer, blond Berlin flyer, at London last July 3. Peltzer's mark, which displaced TM Meredith’s 10-year-old record, 1:62 1-5, is one of the new world records llll‘ on the books by the action of the International Amateur Athletic Fed- eration at its recent meeting in The Hague. Five American performances are on the list, including Glenn Hartcraft's {discus throw of 157 feet 13 inches, made at San Francisco in May, 1925: DeHart Hubbard's broad jump mark of 25 feet 10% inches, made at Chi« cago in June, 1925; and Charles R. Brookins’ 220-yard hurdle perform- ance, 23 secon flat, registered as Ames, lowa, in May, 1924. Two relay records, 41:9 for the quar- ter mile by the University of South- ern California, made in 1925, and 7:42 for the two-mile, made by George- town in 1925 at the Pennsylvania re- lays, also were accepted, but both were beatén at the 1926 natibnal A. A. U. champlonships. In those the Newark' A. C. hung up a new quar- ter-mile record of 41 3-5 seconds, while Boston A. A. set a two-mile standard of 7:41 2-5. Paavo Nurmi is on the list with a mark of 8:20 2-6 for 3,000 meters, made this year and displacing his own former record. His countryman, V. Siplla, is credited with a new 20- kilometer mark of 1:06:29, made last year while Charley Hoff, now a pro- fessional, has his pole vault record of 18 feet 11 13-16 inches officlally on the books. 99¢c Taubman’s Announce i1 Special Anniversary Prices for two days only on Kelly-Spr.ingfield Buckeye Cords At these special Anniversary Sale prices, Kelly-Spring- field Buckeye Cords, are without a doubt, the greatest tire values ever presented in Washington.
