Attendance at the games have been dwindling slowly until now sufficient funds to meet expenses cannot be col- lected from the admission price charged fans entering the grand- It was pointed out there is quite a sizeable crowd witness- ing the games but the majority remain on the sidelines, never contributing to the support of the association. How to get these fans into the stands was the main topic of discussion. It was brought out that in the past collections were taken up among the spectators scattered around the outer edges of the field but'that the money realized in this mannér was practically negilible. Wm. J. Barfield, chairman of the commission, suggested a prize be awarded each night to fans paying to enter the grandstands. After a thorough discussion of the various phases of this plan, it was adopted. Merchants will be solicited to provide their re- spective products for prizes and will be rewarded by the an- ncunceméent of their names at the games and in The Citizen as do- nators. The prize will be on dis- play during both games each scheduled night and will be giv- en away toward the end of the second contest. Each adult pay- ing to enter the stands will be presented a ticket, the stub to be deposited in a box and the oth- er part to be retained until the drawing. Tickets will be donated by Mr. Barfield and R. T. Thomp- son, president of the manager board. An advertisement on the day of the games will appear in The Citizen announcing the Prize Night. Revised schedule of the Civilian League was approved by the managers in attendance. It was agreed that no team of the Service or Civilian League will play any other organized club of the city. Teams are wel- comed to enter either of the leagues. However, a five-dollar deposit will be required from league clubs before playing any exhibition games that have re- ceiv the approval of the Board of Managers. It was brought out that the lights and poles at Bay- view Park were turned over to the softball leagues by the Board of Publie Works and _ therefore the managers have control of their use. Deposit for the elec- tric meter is also in the name of the leagues, which owns the backstop wire and bases. This action cf barring league teams from playing non-league clubs was instigated by the Sawyer’s Barbers’ withdtawal from the Civilian League in disregard of a commission’s decision. stands ISLAND CITY LEAGUE (Key West Baseball) Club— W.

AP MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 4.—Life is dark for a few of the girls at the University of Minnesota. They didn’t- go’ td college just to be cheer leaders but some- where along:the lime they decided to help out the hard working- fellows who stir up sideline en- couragemnet for the mighty Golden Gophers. So thése thrée pretty little girls—Phylis Brislim, Anna Mae Harris and’ Mary Leahy—spent all last summer polishing up their capers. They learned to wheel, whirl, leap and call for that “Great Big Locomotive”. They made life miserable the néighbors, doing their’ daily routine before imaginary fan- packed stadia: They chanted the old battle cry: “M-I-N-N-EB- S-O-T-A”, repéating- three times with the choo-choo effect at the finish. Came school time were ready to roar. for and they So was the MARINES AND CAMPERS BAT- | TLE TO KEEP OUT OF CELLAR IN: OPENER i Pepper’s Plumbers, leaders of | the Civilian League of the Key; West Amateur Softball Associa- | tion, will cross bats with the Merchants tonight at Bayview Park. The contest will be- the nightcap of a regular double- header. Merts will attempt to down the strong Pepper ten for their first victory of the new season. “A battle to keep out of the cellar” will take place in the open- | er when U.S. Marines and CCC’s take the field in the opener of the twin bill. A loss for the Leathernecks will send them into last place, tied with the Army. Campers, who are now in solé possession of the’ bottom of the Service League ladder, will ad- |, vance above both the Soldiers: and Marines should they defeat the Leathernecks tonight. ~ FOOTBALL SCORES | (By Associated Press) Minnesota’s Golden Gophers annexed their fifth straight vic- tory Saturday to gain undisputed lead of the Big Ten Conference. / Defeated Northwestern, 13-12, to remain unbeaten and untied.

A halfback of the late 20's, he was popularly known on the campus as the Great Drum- woodie. Going into his senior year, the Great Drumwoodie started the Feature Service Writer football team. It has been roaring ever since to the tune of that “Great Big Locomotive”. But Phylis, Anna Mae and Mary haven't been on the side- lines to help things along: They got sidetracked. The fondly planned coed cheering crew was shunted to a siding by university chiefs'who thought the men folks ‘were doing well enough. A simi- lar ruling bans drum majorettes at Minnesota. Glum and disappointed, Phylis, who’is 18 and a sophqmore, says hoarsely of the ruling: “It’s silly, inarrow-minded and prejudiced”. “T think it’s we had From Anna Mae: mean and unfair after worked all summer”. And from Mary: “I just think the boys couldn’t stand the com- petition”. The loss is terrific but the Gold- en Gophers are doing right well despite the handicap, bidding again for national glory.
