Grid Games Moved To Fans To Cope With Travel Curb By Harold Claasten New York, Aug. 19 frP)-Movlng the football games to the spectators instead of having the spectators move to the football games is the answer of the college athletic departments to the war-Inspired travel restrictions. Although virtually every coach and athletic director polled by the Associated Press expressed optimism regarding attendance and gate receipts for the com ing season, many of them either had moved a contest to a large city or was contemplating such a switch. Even the staid Big Ten ap proved the transfer of the Ohio State-Illinois fracas from small Champaign, 111., to much bigger Cleveland. It was the coaches of college: In the smaller towns who were pessimistic. Bemle Moore of Louisiana State figured that gate receipts for the Tigers' home games would be off from 23 to 40 per cent because of Baton Rouge's small size, plus the tire and gas situation. Mike Ahearn, veteran Kansas State director, estimated his club's home receipts at Man hattan, Kas., "might be cut in half." Army guessed the crowds at Its three West Point battles would be off 30 per cent. Their sentiments contrasted sharply with the majority, espe cially with the ones expressed by officials at schools in Boston. New York, Chicago, Los An geles, Dallas, Minneapolis, Wash ington, Baltimore, Atlanta and New Orleans. But Just In case their opti mism might be of the morning glory variety many of the di rectors made schedule shifts In hopes of insuring profitable gates. West Virginia, unable to get an attractive "breather" for its home field on October 3, agreed to play In Boston college's sta dlunv, Maryland moved the Rut gers game to Baltimore and the Florida contest to Washington; Pennsylvania and Army will play In Philadelphia instead of at West Point; Princeton is bringing both the Army and the Navy games to Now York's Yankee stadium. Stanford will play Santa Clara and the University of Washing ton at San Francisco instead of at Palo Alto; Alabama moved two games from Tuscaloosa; Mississippi took its game with Georgia to Memphis and it is possible the Ole Miss-Vanderbllt tussle will be decided on the same field; Texas A. & M. and Rice collide at Houston Instead of College Station In other site changes.
