GRIDIRON TEAMS
CLASH TODAY IN
EASTERN STATES
OFFICIAL CONFERENCE GAMES
' SCHEDULED START SEASON
OFF TODAY
ATLANTA, Oct. 10. (JP)—After sev
eral preliminary skirmishes in the
opening weeks of the 1925 football
season, the South today will send
strong invading forces to battle grid
iron teams of the East.
Georgia Tech will journey to New
York City in an attempt to again ad
minister a defeat to Penn State. Last
year the two elevens battled fiercely
thru four quarters, the end revealing
Tech the victor 15 to 13.
At New Haven the Bulldogs of the
South and East will meet, when the
LTniversity of Georgia and Yale clash
in their annual game. Georgia sur
prised Yale with its strength last
season, when the latter won, 7 to 6.
Indications are that Georgia will
have a much stronger team this win
ter.
Princeton will be invaded by Wash
ington and Lee. The two teams did
not meet last year. Georgetown, Ky.,
will engage Cincinnati on the latter’s
gridiron. In 1924, Cincinnati defeat
ed Georgetown, 33 to 21. William and
Mary will clash with Syracuse on
the latter’s field in an attempt to
wipe away a 34 to 7 defeat last year.
The South’s invasion of the North
started last week and today Chicago
met Kentucky and Arkansas played
Iowa.
Chicago will entertain Tulane, an
other newcomer on the Maroon home
gridiron, October 24.
Smarting under several defeats by
Notre Dame, Georgia Tech will try
hard to defeat Rockne’s charges when
they come here October 31. Don
Miller, one of the famous “Four
Horseman,” now is one of Tech’s
coaches.
The other intersectional game in
which the South will be interested on
this date will be at New Haven,
where Harvard and William and Mary
meet.
Mercer University will go to Mil
waukee for a Thanksgiving Day game
with Marquette, marking the opening
of athletic relations between these
two schools.
ELECTRICTS CARRY MORE FARES
ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 10. ' (£>)—
Electric railways of the United States
carried more passengers last year
than they did ten years ago when
they were virtually without competi
tion, John A. Beeler, New York trans
portation authority, told the American
Electric Rialway Association yester
day. Beeler predicted continued use
of the electric car, with the bus in
supplemental service, but said the
electric car would be lighter and
more attractive in the future.
GOBS OF MONEY
TURN OVER IN
NATIONAL GAME
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10. (JP)
—Baseball’s second million dollar se
ries came into being in 1924 when
the Washington Senators defeated the
New York Giants in four of seven
games for the world’s title.
Despite the fact that the attend
ance was almost 20 peil cent less than
1923 when the entire six-game series
was played in New York’s gigantic
parks, the total revenue reached the
record of $1,093,104 as against $1,
063,815 received the previous year.
At that, the attendance was the
second largest in the history of the
game for a series, eclipsing that of
the eight-game all-Polo Grounds clas
sic of 1921 when 269,977 were enter
tained. The Giants and Senators
performed before 283.695 in seven
contests.
Forbes Field at Pittsburgh, where
the National League half of the se
ries is being played this year, will
care for about 45,000 when tempor
ary seats are constructed, about 5,
000 less than the Polo Grounds’ cap
acity.
New York’s 1923 series still holds
the record for single day attendance
with 62.817 at the Yankee Stadium
for the fifth game while fully 50,000
others clamored for admittance. The
receipts for this contest were $201,
459, more money than reached the
coffers from the full six-game series
of 1918, the war year, in which the
Red Sox defeated the Cubs.
Following is the detailed disposi
tion of last year’s receipts:
Players’ share . $331,092.51
Washington Arner. share. 148,991.63
N. Y. Nat’ls’ share . 99,327.75

SAME ENGINE
PULLS TRAINS
LONG DISTANCES
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 10. (/p)—
Thirty-two fast passenger trains on
the Pennsylvania railroad between
New York and Pittsburgh are now
being operated without a change of
locomotives. The road experimented
with this innovation first by trying
the plan on two fast passenger trains
between the Smoky City and the me
tropolis. For thirty days the lone lo
comotives, making the entire haul,
pulled the flyers in on time.
The olan was extended to take in
two trains between lPttsburgh and
Philadelphia, as well as two trains
carrying mail and express between
this city and Chicago. Again the big
locomotives proved their endurance
qualities, and the Pennsy engineers
have decided to extend the no-change
svstefn to include the 32 fast trains
between Pittsburgh and the East.
Later, they said, it would take in the
lines west of Pittsburgh.
To insure the non-change plan, the
road replaced the lighter type pas
senger locomotives with heavier ones,
thus increasing the speed on the lev
el ground and making possible the
long mountain hauls.
SEEKS NULLIFY
USE STEEL TRAP
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10. (/P)
—The general public and organiza
tions of sportsmen, as well as some
officials of the U. S. Biological Sur
vey, are Steel Trap League with
adopting an improper attitude to
ward the use of steel traps in the
capture of animals.
The point at issue is the degree of
suffering experienced by entrapped
animals.
Officials of the league are prepar
ing a pamphlet written by Edward
Breck, writer, lecturer and former
navy officer, who is president of the
organization. It will contain an ap
peal for general support of the
league’s program, which covers both
the United States and Canada. This
program the organization’s officials
summarize as follows:
“We propose to bring about the
passage of a law by all the state and
provincial legislatures making illegal
all use of the torturing steel trap
and other non-killing devices for tak
ing fur, except by the authorities in
the case of vermin.
“Propaganda against wearing fur j
is helpful of course, but the above!
is the only way to win within a rea
sonable period of time, say a few
years in some states and a few more
in others.’’
Every woman who ever wore fur
will be asked to contribute one dol
lar.
HAS LEG BADLY CUT
While coming down the hill from
the lower camp at Green Butte in
the McCarthy district, Jack O’Brien
had his leg badly cut by a rolling
boulder and was taken to Kennecott
hospital recently for treatment. The
rock cut a deep gash in the fleshy
part of the leg just below the knee.
