Cc—2 SPORTS. PROGRAMS DEPEND ONFOOT BALLCON Revenue Essential to Carry Other Sports—Price Cuts May Be Felt. BY H. C. BYRD. HE financial side of college foot ball, of vital impor- tance because of its bear- ing on other college sports and on physical education pro- grams, is giving considerable con- | cern to those responsible for the | upkeep of these schedules and programs. In some schools rather drastic cur-| tatlments already have taken place in providing for what is expected by many | to be a rather lean year. Others take | an opposite view—that this season will be no different from any cther season | and that schools with good teams and | attractive schedules should fare well, while schools with poor teams and un- attractive schedules may have ditticulty getting by. Which is about as it always has been. NTEREST in foot ball iz just as keen as ever, and with lowered prices at most places greater crowds are likely to attend games than were in the stands Jast season. Of course, it may be that the lower prices may cause a slight falling off in receipts, but it is not to be expected that the exorbitant prices formerly charged for some games— games that even with those exorbitant prices filled great stadia in all sections of the country—can be continued under present conditions. ‘There is no doubt that the price of tickets to some games in the boom years was bevond all reason, though, like almost everything else, the questicn of supply and demand probably gov- | erned that condition. However, $4, $5 or $6 for a foot ball game is simply teo much money, agd more money than people under present conditions are going to pay. As far as the present season is con- cerned, it is probable that the same conditions that have governed gate re- ceipts egain will control. The teams such as Georgia turned out last year should not lack financial support, but the teams such as that which repre- sented Georgia Tech will not draw big attendance. Successful presentation is Just as popular in foot ball as in any other line of endeavor. If Roosevelt ‘were elected President, great crowds would gather to see him pass. but if he is defeated not a corporal’s guard would turn out. F' course, there are some foot ball games, attractive by virtue of the traditions of decades, that always will draw big partisan crowds and also their share of the general public, when the general public can get tickets to | such games. These are not to be con- | sidered in the considerations that go: ern the crowds that attend games that | do not bear such distinction. For these | latter contests, the coming season is unlikely to be much different from all the seasons that have gone before. A meeting of two great elevens should fill the stands, while a game in which meet two elevens that have already bzen smeared by various and sundry oppo- nents will be given little attention. The successful elevens of the South Jast year had very successful financial results, notwithstanding that generally speaking it was a poor year from that standpoint, much worse than this is| likely to be. On the other hand, the unsuccessful elevens had hard going. | ‘Tulane and Georgia, strongest of South- ern elevens, had the best financial sea- | sons in their history, while Alabama and | Georgia Tech, which the previous year | had the best, fell to less than 40 per cent of the previous year's income. | 'O matter what the outlook, those responsible for the management of ‘ athletics and physical education in the colleges naturally should have #ome concern about the financial situa- tion. They make up their budgets for the vear on a basis of what they expect | in the way of gate receipts, and if gate | receipts fail to come up to expectations, ! then only two recourses are left, either | to curtail the vear’s progtam, often very inconvenient o other schools, or to let the program go on through and finish in the red. Some schools have had to do_both { One South Atlantic institution last | year cut to the bone its base ball, bas- ket ball, track and physical education | programs, but still finished with a defi- | cit of about $7.000. Other schools that | were more successful went on through with their programs without difficulty and finished with small surpluses. The same varied conditions are likely to exist after the coming Thanksgiving day. GRIDDERS BUSY TONIGHT In spite of the muddy going, many sandlot grid squads are planning drills tonight. Maryland A. C. and Meridians will scrimmage at 8 o'clock on the Seat Pleasant field.

At any rate the fans are anxious to see the Hoyas in action. | Quietly, sans ballyhoo, Coach Tom Mills has been working with his charges over at the Hilltop, but many who have glimpsed the Hoyas in their drills are | confident Mills will surprise District fens this season. His line has been a bit ponderous, but the work of his backs—14 in all—has been encouraging. The first inkling of the probable | starting line for @eorgetown was forth- | coming_yesterday, when Mills intimated Capt. Ray Hudson and Tom Carolan had about_clinched the end jobs and that Joe Katalinas and Joe Konopa would start at the tackles, Dick Danner | and Wally Walacavage at guards and Fred Callahan at center. Leading line reserves are Ed Sawaya, Red Downer and Gunnar Anderson, tackles; Al Co- hen, Gildo Russo and Joe Mylnarski, guards, and Bill Carpenter, center. The backfield should not give Mills & great deal of worry, it is thought. The Hoya mentor has 14 ball toters, all | capable. They are Bernie Bonoghue, | Hilary Costello, Paul Kennedy 2nd Mickey Lione, quarterbacks; Al Kelly, | Nick Viskovich, Joe Saverini, Charley | Parceils, Mack Stanley, Joe Alenty, Russ Danieu and Louis Dee, halfbacks, | and Wilmer Bradley and Johnny S8him- mins, fulfbacks. | ISTRICT grid followers Priday will get their first chance to glimpse the 1932 edition of George Wash- {n‘:wn, conqueror of Washington and ‘The Colonials will entertain West- minster College under the arc-lights at Griffith Stadium in the final game be- fore George Washington's big clash on October 8 with Alabama. George Washington's practice for the nocturnal agement proceeded at a light pace yesterday, as Coach Jim Pix- lee confined his first-stringers to a sig- nal drill and skull practice. The reserves, however, were given an hour of scrimmage against freshmen, | who employed Westminster plays. These | reserves, according to Pixlee, will have a | ot to do with G.

The| GENTLEMEN, NORWOOD BIRD IN VAN Scores in Field of 239 From 13 Lofts in Distance Race. | Showing the way to a field of 239 | birds from 12 lofts in a flight from | Roanoke, Va. to this city, an entry 28.—With a new coach,|bers as some other years, promises & ' from the loft of Walter O. Norwood won some new material, and a few new opponents on its playing schedule, the Quantico Marine Base foot ball eleven swings into action Saturday with an outfit that ought to get some- where. It isn't the crack team of the early 20's. There never was an | outfit at that Gyrene base nor at any other which could compare with the squad that carried Liv- Banderson, Bruaelle, Geottge and Beckett. That team, gentlemen, is only something to bui it was But this year's Marine team will do until something better comes along, which is not in the offing at the mo- ment. It packs a backfield kick that would be a lot of help to any college, and a line which is as rugged as the next fellow’s. It is well coached by a scrappy tutor who played on the great Marine teams of '2? and ‘24, and it is jammed with that heritage of all Marine outfits—fight. Fight is the keynote of this team now being tun through its final stages of prepping by Head Coach Hoke Palmer. Hoke, versity backfield, star halfback with the greatest Marine team in the history of service sports, and one of the outstand- ing aviators in the corps, is full of foot- ball knowledge and fight. He can give his charges a full knowledge of funda- mentals plus a tutoring in how to bat- tle for every inch of ground. .Hoke's mainstay in the backfield is Corpl. Andy Zeher, a swift, chance- taking back who knows his way to the front. He is a former Hazelton, Pa., player, and gained a place in the spotlight by his spirited playing in the Iast two President’s Cup games in Washington against the Coast Guard. In gaining territory, Zeher has no equal on the squad. When loose, Andy is one of the most dangerous men in the spert. He is aggressive and knows all |angles of the game. In the last Presi- dent’s Cup game at Griffith Sladium Andy broke away for a 50-yard run. Over at an important terminal post is a veteran of three years' expetience in his position. He is Corpl. H. M. Ferrell, former Baylor University (Texas) star. Ferrell is over 6 feet in height, is a crack basket ball man and an all- around athlete. He is a great pass nab- ber and a splendid attacking end. When he goes down after punts, the last x:rd in dropping the opposition is on way. Another linesman of importance on the squad {8 Gunnery Sergt. H. P. (Jim) Crowe, a guard frcm Ken- tucky. Jim has had eight years of playing w'th the Marines and more than knows his way to the corner grocery. He not only ktiows his way around, but it never idle. He was a star with the Gyrene eleven of 1925, that year when mobody's ball club could whip the Quantico warriors. He was ain in the Coast last, r’s ca; Guarame s Washington.

And rightly so, say | the Turnerian staff, because it adds tang and gest to what they consider the prize off-the-mat triumph of the year. Turner, as it is known, signed Jim Londos and Jim McMillan to rassle at Griffith Stadlum tomerrow. The two boys have met often, but, notwithstand- ing, it remains one of the most popular matehes in rassling. M. Curley, as it also is known, lost his “cut” from Lon- walked out, both from New York and Philadelphia, the two 1i'l towns that made him. So Curley and Ray Fabiari began using the Mondt-Pfeffer rasslers. Today, however, it was learned that Curley again will use the Londos mus- cleleers. And for the opening of the Madison Square Garden shows he re- quested Londos and McMillan.

Dundee, managed by the veteran Max ‘Waxman, is regarded one of the clever- est battlers in the game today, while Phelps’ main claim to fame is being able to hit hard with both ‘‘guns.” A supplementary card will be an- nounced within a day or so.
