WASHINGTON. D. C, Jan 28.
More than 24 hours of continuous
snow tonight had covered the mid
dle Atlantic section, with Washing
ton as a center to a depth of a foot
to pearly 3 inches; caused suspen
sion of practically all business, dis
rupted transportation and shut most
of the population in their homes.
The storm, which weather bureau
officials said was one of the most
severe In history and exceeded in the
depth of snowfall only by the bliz
zard of February, 1399, was moving
slowly tonight up the coast from Its
position during the day off Virginia

Washington, however, appeared to
be the center of the heavy fall, the
weather bureau measurements shew
ing the depth to be two and a half
feet against the record fall of three

The capital was virtually paralyzed
as activities of all kinds.
.The city awoke snowed in this
morning and was unable to cope dur
ing the day with the rapidly descend
ing fall. Streetcars on the principal
lines manaeed for a while early la
the day to struggfe along, but a; the
day wore on made almost complete
surrender.
Automobiles and other motor vehi
cles likewise were snowbound and to
night the streets of Washington were
lined with abandoned cars.
The snowfall here practically
halted governmental activities and.
caused cancellation of two scheduled
armament conference meetings.

Thousands of government employes
walked to work and many others liv

ISTRENUOUS SPORTS
FACE SEATTLE BAN
SCHOOL DIRECTORS DISCUSS
DANGERS TO HEALTH. I
Football, Basketball and Track
Believed to Be in Danger
of Elimination.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 28. Discus
sion by members of the Seattle school
board last night of the question of
limitation of high school and grade
school athletics to sports and games
that do not endanger health of the
players, was said to have given rise
to the possibility tnat football, bas
ketball and track 'activities may be
eliminated from the athletic curric
ulum of Seattle schools and that so
called less strenuous sports, such- as
tennis, soccer and baseball, may be
allowed only under strict supervision.
The. consideration of such action
was the result of the problem raised
some weeks ago when the board was
told by its legal adviser that the
school district is responsible under
the law for injuries sustained by pu
pils engaged In school athletics.
Physical examination of all .stu
dents taking part in sports was ad
vocated as a protective measure, but
Dr- Ira C. Brown, head of the school
medical department, said that his
staff was not large, enough to carry
out such a programme within a rea
sonable length of time. The board
took no action on the matter, which
was referred back to Dr. Brown and
Superintendent of Schools Frank B.
Cooper for' further Investigation.

STEAM CLOUD BURSTS
FROM MOUNT HOOD
COLUMN 200 FEET IV HEIGHT
' IS REPORTED.
L. F. Prldejraore, From Government
Camp, Telephones News
V to Portland.
.
A column of steam which was re
ported to be Issuing from Crater rock
on Mount- Hood yesterday by L. F.
Pridemore at Government camp in
creased from 100 feet to 200 feet in
height during the day and was gush
ing out at a greatly increased volume
last night at dusk when the clouds
which had obscured the peak cleared
away and exposed It to view.
Mr. Pridemore first noticed the
steam early yesterday morning and
reported that It should be visible from
Portland, but before attempts could
be made to discern it from Council
Crest, the mountain was behind clouds
which remained around it all day.
In the morning It ranged from 60 to
100 feet in height, but by night it had
increased to 200 feet, although the
steam was declared to be steady and
not of an erupting or pulsating na
ture. a
Mr. Pridemore said he considered
It futile to try to reach Crater rock
and ascertain the nature and. If possi
ble, the cause of the steam. The snow
on Mount Hood Is now soft and fluffy
and not, suitable for travel.
It was the first time It has been
possible to see steam emerging from
the crater from Government' camp
without the aid of a glass. Mr. Prlde-

Whether the error occurred through

CHICAGO, Jan. 28. (By the Aso.
elated Press.; The bitter rivalry
between two small towns, which be
came so acuta that approximately
1100,000 was bot on a football game,
was the real cause of the athletlo
scandal which resulted in disqualifi
cation last eight of nine University
of Illinois athletes and which
threatens to reach Into Notre Dams
university.
A group of citizens of Carllnvllle,
111., It was learned tonight, decided
last fall financially to "clcah out"
the rival town of Taylorvil'e, by. os
talning ten college stars to play on
their football team, and with victory
apparently assured, to bet the limit
on the annual contest. But Taylor
vllle learned of the plan, obtained
nine college stars and not only de
feated Carllnvllle, but was said to
have won nearly 850,000 by covering
every Carllnvllle bet made.
Notre Dint Mea la Llaeup. x
Ten Notre Dame players were in
the Carllnvllle lineup, according to
statements by citizens, while the nine
disqualified Illinois men played on
the Taylorvllle eleven.
In the Carllnvllle lineup, according
to persons associated with the team,
were men represented to .be Gua
Desch. member of the American Olym
pic team and world champion 440
yard Hurdler; Chester Wynne, se
lected by some as all-western con
ference fullback, and John Mohardt,
all-American selection of several
football writers. All played on the
Notre Dame eleven last fall.
In 1S20 Carllnvllle won from
Taylorvllle, 10 to T. at Carllnvllle.
Taylorvllle then boasted that lxt
year ' with their team at home thcrs
would be a different story.
Overturn Are Made.
Several Carllnvllle people conceived
the "safe betting" Idea of filling their
lineup with college stars. Overtures
were made to Notre Dame men, ac
cording to backers of the Carllnvllle
team, and it was agreed to pay the
ten men 1200 each plus their expenses,
the total being 2700.
The Persons who arranged the af
fair passed the word to their friends
to bet the limit. A special train was
hired and a band taken to Taylor
vllle. Farmers arranged to Join tha
pilgrimage, and In nearly every case
a well-filled wallet was taken along.
Each person who received the con
fidential Information evidently passed
It on to another friend, for gradually
the word spread into Taylorvllle. At
the same Jlme Taylorvllle received
word' Carllnvllle was ready to back
its team with the family jewelry if
necessary.
Conaternatloa la Spread.
Consternation spread through Tay
lorvllle at the Idea ot sending their
team against nationally known col
lege players. Then a few citizens de
cided also. to seek a little college aid.
Quietly the word was passed not to
fear Carllnvllle that a means of de
