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.
GRAIN FIELDS HIT
Sherwood, Aug. 19. (VI
Two grain fires swept harvest
fields In this area yesterday. A
blare at the John Herman farm
south of here destroyed 40 acres
of standing oats and vetch. An
other at the Arnold Conrelman
farm near Six Corners consumed
300 bushels of stacked oats.

ers will meet for the first time

tion with 91st division officers
and men will greatly stimulate

club from which a special com
mittee of skeet shooting mem
bers will be appointed to take
full charge of the street activity
on an entiiely separate program

Philadelphia for a ape-night
stand and were Jolted, 3-1, by
the Phils, whom they had ex
pected to roll over and play
dead. . .
While the Dodgers can look
for trouble In their remaining
six meetings with the Cards,
they also have a problem close
to home in the surprising New

eight with the Dodgers and still
have eight more battles sched
uled with the flatbush flock.

ning streak to five games by
