Telephone 35-3 FOOTBALL MORE POPLAR THAN EVER THIS YEAR With Many of Star Plays in Service More Mediore Men on Squads. 3More football is being played this pesson than ever before in the history 92 the game, so far as the number of l" concerned. With teams galore in all the army cantonments and where- over soldiers are stationed. football is more than ever. The sport is mjv’lg:p‘:.;oom which should last for ail time. Many who have never known the thrills of he game will be educated to it before the snow flies, and when the soldiers return to civil lfie the sport have a greater hold tha ever upon the interest of Americans. When Yale, Harvard and Princeton took the drasic action of abolishing football along with other major sports, at the time for the qura- tion of the war, there were many who believed that decision of the leading football colleges would result in the sport recetving a hard blow. Just the comtrary has proved to be the case. The recommendations of the college meeting held last summer that sports be continued in the colleges and universities of the country for bene- fit of the many instead of the few have been responsible for more students PR s tctive saxt ia sxlanon af- as well as a similar increase in i sther lines-of athletic activiy. letics was the thing, generalization is 20w the order. It was the common thing before so- called war measures were taken by many of the colleges in reference to athletics for only the picked few to &0 out for the football and other teams. Now this is changed. With the passing of high-priced coaches, expensive training _tables and other adjuncts which ran into big business figures in many institutes, the average student. the young man not endowed with any wpecial athletic talents is coming into s own. This trend 1s noticeable in the make- ap of the football squads at practically svery institution of higher learning in the country this fall. It is true that most of the star and veteran plavers have joined the colors and their pass- ing has given the mediocre athlete a ~hance to improve his health by syste- matic athletic training, and better still active competition. With such a san~ change working out o well so far it is very much of a juestion of the high-priced coach, the sxpensive training table and the reti- sues of advisers trainers and the like will ever again play a part in Ameri- tan college athletics. Certainly they will not fill the important roles they Beld before the war. The colleges will find they can get along very well without them .it is likely. Perhaps he average football team this season is not up to the standard of other vears. But the game is just s enjoyable from the spectators’ standpoint. Really where the best football material in the country is now Is in the army camps. In them former college stars abound. and they will *how football followers some of the best contests of the season. Material is Developing 1t Yale sume varsity football another vear they should have teams of more than ordi- | nary ability. The freshmen at these institutions are receiving more and better coaching than has been their fot in the past and the squads will shows its benefits another year. There is plenty of likely football material at cach of these institutonsi. But whether they resume or not foot- bail is going on and on to bigger and Better things. The soldiers are going fo see to that. Football, next to base- ball is he most popular sport in the santonments and other army camps. Taking it all in all the game is very much on the upgrade of popularity. World series dopesters have turned over their adding machines to foot- Ball champion pickers.

MARKET WAS FEVERISH Lowest Prices Were Made in the Trial Hour, With No Support. New York, Nov. 1.—The stock mar- ket was in the throes of arwther con- vulsion today, liquidation encompass- ing the entire list at extreme reces- stons of 3 to 10 points. Lowest prices were made in the feverish final hour, no support being offered even at marked concessions. Selling was of a wider and more urgent character and was frequently accelerated by bear drives. Recent efforts of officials of the exchange to minimize or restrict such_speculative operations culminated in official action by the exchanze requiring members to report their borrowings fof stocks to_the committee on business conduct. 0 new factors presented them- selves, but the discouragement created by recent developments was increased by predictions that the war ta xes are likely to become more onerous. Fi- nancial statements issued during the day by various industrial corporations bore pertinently upon the govern- ment’s policy of taxation. In keeping with all active markets, the greater part of today’s upheaval centered around United States Steel. That stock was offered to the extent | of 500,000 shares, of more than 33 per cent. of the whole, at an- extreme de- cline of 7 1-2 points, down to 93 i-4, its lowest quotation of the year, clos- ing with a feeble raily. Rails were liquidated® in greater quantities, many investment issues of that group, notably Pacifics and .coal- ers, declining 2 to points, where they registered new low records for per- lods of five to over twenty vears. All the equipments, including con- spicuous war stocks, suffered declines of 3 to 6 points, likewise Mexicans, coppers, oils and a score of miscella- neous issues. Sales amounted fo 1. 400,000 shares, the largest sirigle ses- sion since the inception of the de- cline. Increased weakness was shown by bonds of all grades, especially inter- nationals. Liberty 4's were inactive at par and 3 1 fluctuated between 99.74 and 99.84. Total sales (par value) $5,640,000. United States (old issues) were un- changed on call. STOCKS. Sales. High Low.

He led the Metropolitans In an Inte league series between the Metropoli- tans and Providence In 1885 and was | the star of the serfes alothough his nine was beaten.

These three performances are shoot- off ties and one of them is without question the greatest shoot-off ever recorded. This was Dbetween Andy Flickinger, of Vallejo. Cal., a grizzled veteran, and Owen E. Evans, of Los Angeles, Cal. a youngster, and the veteran got the decision. Flickinger and Evans tied for second honors in a shoot of the Vernon (Cal.) Gun Club, with 198 breaks in 200 tar- gets. On the shoot-off Flivkinger broke 199 to Evans' 198 targets. There isn’t another shoot-off in history that required 200 targets to determine the winner. Each _shooter broke 20 straight on the first string and each missed one in the second string of 20. Flickenger broke 177 straight to finish, while Evans ran 160 before he missed a target in the tenth string. There may have been better shooting than this some time. some place, but it has not come before out notice. Another great shoot-off that went b; totally unnoticed was the one for thi place in the Preliminary Handicap of the Grand American Trapshooting tournament. As the shooters had the same handicaps in the Grand American event, the tie was shot off as the men went down the line, and therefore. it passed off without any one giving it attention at the time. There were 11 men tied for third place with 97 breaks, but after the| first string of 20 in the Grand Amer- ican there were only three left—John B. Lallance, of Huntington, West Va.; C. D. McGary. of Hammond Ind. and | W. L. Hays, of Dwight, 1. Hayes | dropped out on the second string. Ldllance and McGary went down to the fifth string—the entire 100 targets in the Grand American, to determine a winner. They broke the same num- ber of targets on each 20, excepting the fifth. when McGary missed five and Lallance two. Tom Hale, of Mt. Pleasant, had won the Tennessee State Championship three vears in succession. This year e went to the shoot with a team mate, J. B. Fite. Hale went out with 98—a score that looked good for the fourth championship. Fite was one down in 80 and went straight on his last 20 and tied his pal for the title. It re- Qquired 60 targets to decide the winner. Fite breaking 59 and Hale 58, all the targets being lost in the third 20. Hale and Fite returned to Mt. Pleas- ant as they came—friends and to- gether. Only champlons or runners up can represent their States in the National Amateur Championship event, and Fite graciously withdrew in favor of Hale, who is regarded as the best shot in Tennessee. - And Hale was good enough to be in the squad that broke 200 straight in the championship event.
