If not more, intersections! games than tn llpvened tho schedule this year.. . Through some misunderstanding, the Impression was spread that tho "Big Three," the best drawing cards of the East and tho Western conference, had agreed to play to their own territory next and would not arrange any In- tersectionat games. ; Tho "Bia Three" has already correct ed this mistaken Idea with tho ex planation that they were opposeq omy to tho- intersectlonal games wmcn re quired , long trips. This would soam only a stand . against tha Eaet-West games which havo becomo an annual New Tear's day classic in Pasadena.

Tho latter led the National In 1838 with .408. The best record ever made In tho eld circuit was made by a rifrht-hander. Hugh Duffy . made it In 1894. with .438. - Horasby made a new National league homo run record, with 48 circuit clouts, which. Is far above any total the league haa boasted In years. He hit safely 2 SO timeor which was seven more than, tho largest previous total, mane by, vuiie Keelar.

In past years the "Big Three" eould fall back, on tha olabn that they-could draw a bigger crowd in their homo lots but with, bugs arenas springing up all over tho Middle West, that argument no longer holds good. -;? v Georgia Tech, no doubt, will be of fered a place on tho Navy schedule next fall.1 Tho Navy team Itself would be delighted to play a return game In Atlanta but the athletic officials at Annapolis aro against a long trip be cause scholastic work outranks ath letics at the academy. .'

Beckett for. mer -University .of Oregon wonder ath lete. Is a first' lieutenant in tho ma rines and he Is athletic officer at Quan tico. . Following is a report made to Washington, D. C, by the commanding general ; ' - By vote of tha whole command, we are building at Quentleo a stadium which will bo a memorial to every man who -has died In the uniform of the United States marine corps sines the foundation of the : corps in -1775. The Idea is to have one seat represent each man, and we have figured that to do this there will be required about 80. 800 seats. : Also, the name of . each man will be inscribed on t ronso tab lets to- be plaoad on the great arch which w4 form the entrance to the Stadium. . The bowl proper Is 39 feet Ions; and 828 feet wide, and Is the largest af fair ef Its kind la the world that we know of. It is 10 fet longer and 10 feet wider than the Seattle bowl. To construct It we will have to ; move 168.009 cubie yards ef dlrfof which we have already moved . about 110,000. Wo will be through taking the dirt out by the end- of this month Tho seats wfl bo made of steel and concrete and the. framework of 70. pound ' railroad rails, -fr The trusses ? supuortlnf - the seats, etc aro fish plates with angle bars connected with the railroad Iron. There will t be ' it 0 boxes : around the bottom ' of the - bowl and 80 - row of seats. - Arbund the V top of the field will b aa automobile ros,d where ma chines: can park and their occupants look down la. This Is an unusual fea ture which! we think no ether stadium bas. It IS 1790 feet around, th top and wilt hold about 850 automobiles. The entrance wyi be huge arch, on the columns of which. In feronio tab lets, will bs inscribed the names of the 80,000 marines who hsve died lni uniform, - - - - The estimated eost ef this stadium by eontraet was between 8625,000 and 1950,000. j Build tog tt ourselves, we do not see bqw we can spend more than 15000. i ; Through the ' courtesy of the bureau ef ordnaneo of the : navy we have . been allowed to salvage . all of the ecrgp along the Potomac river, by which process we have gotten suffi cient wire and reinforcing material. The ene thing we will have to buy is the Portland cement and the-cement people are now on the verge of letting us have that for half price, due to the patriotic nature of the enterprise, : Wo are taking the sand and gravel out of the river i with an old clamshell dredge we bare rigged op, which will save us over f18,Qao.' The . retaining wail, inside of which goes the seats, is built of sandstone quarried on our own proWty. We found an eld Quarry from which the stone for the central portion of the Whit House and Cap- uoi was quarried. -, - ; There wd be a quarter naTie cir cular running track around the inside, a 820 yard straightaway track, two baseball diamonds and a football field. We are figuring on putting up a' gym nasium or dressing building. , ' We bays salvaged all the eld twoa Inch pipe along the Petnmae. to make the handrails for the boxes and are picking ff the rust and polishing it up. We have also taken up eld pipe systems put m during tho war. We may have to buy a few fishplates, but the It F, P. railroad and the, B.& O. railroad have offered us material very cheap. -The former will let us have them for cents each, and as we only need about 7000 of the ptates the expense will not be ever 1350. .. We; have; figured that It requires 80.000 feet of reinforcing for the seats and to data, through the courtesy o tho navy, we have accumulated 144, 000 lineal feet ef wtre for this purpose It required 880 70 pound rails and. we have those. Those. werevralla bought In this country for the Russian gov ernment and not delivered. It required 12.000 fishplates, some of i whlclw as stated above, we will havo to buy. Ac oording to present estimates. we- fig ure that It Will cost as 13 cents to seat each, person, so, for the 80,000 seats it will cost us about J340O. We'have to bore 90,000 holes altc;tether and have rigged up a lot of old drill presses and old motors salvaged from the shipyard with which we have fitted-tip a reg ular drilling- plant which cuts boles at. tho rate of Vr seconds per hole. We have used every bit of -scrap that we can get hold of wire fences, barbed wire anything that we can make use of. In fact, we have one officer and 60 men who do nothing else, but bring trp scrap: from along the Potomac to Quantloo, where we sort It out - . . In order that there, might be no mis understanding ; or come-back about spending the men's money for the eon strucUon, of this stadium, I assembled all the men la the gymnasium and ex plained the project to them. A few days later, IS non-commissioned, offi cers, representing over 8000 men, called and presented a sort of report or reso lution expressing it as their opinion that the project was a splendid one and recommending that such amount as is necessary for the post amuse ment fund be used for the purpose of purchasing euch materials as are re quired to complete the stadium. ." Fortunately, we have oneef the most talentedarchitectS" in tho government service, who designed the "Q" street bridge In Washington, doing all tha architectural work, oo we feel certain that It will look wel when completed. The pitch of tho seats . Inside the bowl is the same as in (ha Tale bowl. wnictt Is snito stacp. - Part of the equipment of the sta dium will be moving pictures in the summer, and wo are drying out bard- wood to make a hardwood floor - so that -the men's dances can be bold there In the summer also, i The floor will be made In sections, which osn be bolte together, : and which wilt Of eotnrse. greatly facilitate taking it up and laying it down again. j Go-ed Sport Bosses Named at' 0.
