These figures Include all games and represent a substantial Increase over 1934, Harvard's total would have been higher but for the fact the Crimson played its annual game with Army at West Point, where the sise of the crowd is limited and less than half the turnout customary for the game at Cambridge. Holy Cross, aided by capacity crowds for the Carnegie and Colgate games, drew about 100,000 for its home games, a record for the Crusaders. Dartmouth's share of the substantially increased gate receipt from its football games may enable the Green to resume some of the minor sports dropped two years ago because of a shortage in athletic funds.

Boston College attracted nearly 100.000 for eight home games and also showed a decided gain over 1934. but Brown had one of the worst seasons in its history at the box office. The Bruins drew only 23.917 fans for five home games. Back in 1932 Brown drew more than that for th Colgate game alone. New Problems Arise From Riotous Behaviour and Increasing Tendency to Uproot Goal Posts Before Games Are Over NEW YORK.

Dec. 5. (JP) New England's major college football teams drew more than 1.000.000 fans during the season just closed. Yale topped the list with 362,000. Harvard drew 240.000 while Dartmouth and Holy Cross each played find that in facing his latest opponent he will be facing a cold, calculating fighter who knows how to box the other fellow out of position to render him harmless, before administering the coup de grace.

THE CHRISTMAS STORE FOR MEN'S GIFTS NEW YORK. Dec. 5. (fPh-College throughout the country have welcomed increased interest In football this year, especially as reflected in mounting box-ofilce receipts, but the problem of confining the spectators' enthusiasm to the stands has become an acute and critical issue.

"Ivy League" Plans Action The Associated Press learned today that athletic authorities of the so- railed eastern "ivy league" are considering drastic measures to curb the Increasing tendency toward riotous attacks on the goal posts or other encroachments by spectators on the playing fields. Echoes of this year's disturbances also have reached officers of the national football rules committee. The situation was emphasized by the turbulent scenes in the Yale Bowl at the end of the Yale-Princeton game. Spectators razed the goal posts at one end of the gridiron before the game waa over and were stopped from doing the same thing to the other Bet of uprights only after officials fought them off. This was the second occurrence of the kind in the bowl during the season.

The goal posts were ripped down in the last few minutes of the Yale-Dartmouth game.

Tulane and Louisiana State cohorts waged a general melee after the game 4 and the goal posts were taken apart despite the precaution of the home forces of having them wired and charged with electricity. It is with such episodes as these that college authorities are mainly concerned, rather than auch instances as that of the Dartmouth rooter who leaned out of the stands and took a Two changes will be made in the personnel of the regular Northern Vermont League basketball officials, it wa decided at the meeting of the league principals and coaches held Wednesday evening.

Leo Papineau of St. Albans replaces Dr. George King of Barre and, in the most recent announcement, Clifton W. "Kikl" Price of Burlington replaces Healey Randall of Water-bury, who will be unable to devote his time to officiating this winter. Price, an alternate on the Northern League Board last year, is the second official from this section, who will compose the regular trio this winter as Hy-man "Bump" Levine has held that position for the past three years.

S. girls' varsity quintet was revealed last night by Coach Jack Lambert.

Peoples Academy, defeated last year by B. F.

A. only, and a semi-finalist in the Hartford tournament, heads the procession. Then follows Win-ooski, always a strong contender. Bellows Free Academy of St. Albans, considered by many the strongest team in the State last year, will participate in a series of four games.

Sugrestioma Suggestions have gone so far as to include elimination of the goal posts and along with it, the point after the touchdown, but it is not likely the rules committee will give this serious consideration.

"This would mean the elimination of the field goal as well as the try for extra point with a kick and hardly seems Justified." said William S. Langford, secretary of the rules committee.

QUALITY CLOTHIERS ESTABLISHED 1897 Matter Will Come to a Head At A. A. A. Meeting In New York Although President Avery Brundage Issue Has No Place In Convention NEW YORK, Dec. 5.

(JP With both sides looking for victory, a close fight on the question of participation by the United States in the Olympic games at Berlin next year appeared imminent tonight as upwards of 200 delegates arrived for the 47th annual convention of the Amateur Athletic Union starting tomorrow. Avery Brundage. president of the American Olympic committee, flew in from Chicago today and said "the battle was won two years ago," but declared himself apprehensive that an open fight on the question on the convention floor Saturday "might very easily wreck the structure of the A. A. If the issue is discussed at the general assembly Brundage expressed confidence the A.

A. U. would vote in favor of participation. Button-holing representatives of distant sections as they checked in, Jeremiah T. Mahoney, president of the A.

A. U. and opposition leader, said "there is a preponderance of sentiment in favor of a boycott of the Olympic games." The question will be threshed out tomorrow at a joint star-chamber meeting between members of the A. A. U.

executive and foreign relations committees. Brundage stated plainly that the issue has no place in the con-I vention and indicated that unless the "other side" presents a strong case he will use his influence to stifle the question in committee. The consensus pointed to an open fight. Members of the joint committee were reported to be evenly divided on the matter. From a quarter strongly favoring American participation it was learned the opposition has been mustering considerable strength In the last two weeks.

Coincidental with the arrival of delegates a bulky envelope was received by Dan Ferris, secretary-treasurer of the A. A. from the German Olympic organizing committee. It contained voluminous evidence to be used to persuade boycott-advocates to change their opinions. players made up of Thurber, LaBoun-ty, Drinkwine, Rooney and Adams of last year's second team.

Fight Fans' Pity-Said to Be Wasted On 'Poor Paulino' Basque Is Sure Joe Louis Won't Floor Him Man With "Granite Jaw" However, Curious Ones Are Expecting to See How Hard the Bomber Can Hit By EDDIE BRIETZ (Associated Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK. Dec.

5. (JP) They've imported Senor Paulino Uzcudun, the merry woodchopper, all the way from San Sebastian, Spain, to find out Just how hard Joe Louis can hit. Maybe you don't know it, but the senor has the toughest jaw in the fighting business, if not the entire world. It has a cast-iron base, reinforced with concrete. Back in the Basque country, Paulino amuses the kids by letting tnem snooi.

meir suiig-shots at it. In Madison Square Garden, December 13, old Paulino will stick his now famous chin provocatively in front of the devastating fists of Louis, the new heavyweight rave. Never Knocked Over Then well see what we will see. If Louis, hailed as the hardest hitting since Jack Dempsey, can so much as dent that Jaw he will have accomplished more than some of our best thumpers have done. They have thumped away for evenings at a time with nothing to show for it except broken hands and bruised knckles.

The bounding Basque didn't come over here Just for the boat ride. He's proud of his record of never having been knocked off his feet, let alone knocked out and he's willing to bet a substantial part of his purse Louis doesn't do it. Paulino's Well-Heeled It's a matter of professional pride. Paulino Is 36. He's well fixed and doesn't have to fight.

He is half owner of the biggest hotel in San Sebastian and also operates the gambling casino. He's got plenty of dough. Up at Orangeburg, where he's toughening up his Jaw for Louis, Paulino tells visitors he doesn't believe a fighter who has been in the ring for so short a time can possibly be as good as Louis. When you tell him what Louis did to Baer and Camera and that the Bomber likely will knock the Uzcudun block off, Paulino shrugs contemptuously. You wait," he says.

"I show you. Nobody can knock Paulino out. I bet you." "He likes to put the crusher on these sensational fighters," explains Lou Brix, his American representative. "Eh?" asked Paulino. "I say," said Brix, "that you will knock Louis brains out." "Yes," said Paulino, "111 fix him." Schmeling Couldn't Floor Him Paulino's last appearance in this country was in 1933 when Frimo Car-nera beat him In 15 rounds.

Since then he has fought Max Schemling twice in Europe. Schmellng knocked cargoes of gold teeth down the Basque'! throat, but he couldn't floor Khim. Louis hasn't fought since he polished off Max Baer in the Yankee Stadium last September, although he has kept In trim by appearing In numerous exhibitions in Canada and New England. Paulino's chin holds no terrors for Joe and his followers. They will not predict a knockout, but are willing to bet Joe cuts the Spaniard to ribbons within six rounds.

C. H. S. WILL PLAY A. T.

O. THIS AFTERNOON It Is not billed on the docket as a game; no mention has been made on posters or in sport columns: but the first contest of the local basketball season will be played this afternoon on the Cathedral High court when the newly painted 1935 edition of the Little Indian dons his habiliments of warfare in a practice scrimmage against the A. T. O. fraternity of the University of Vermont.

This contest presages a full season for the Green and White that officially begins next Wednesday evening. At that time a much less formidable club than today's opponent. Swanton High school, treks down from the north country to furnish the opposition. St. Mary's of St.

Individually boxed. Tuning up for the season's opener against Norwich Saturday evening at Northfield. the St. Michael's court squad snapped through a two-hour drill session yesterday afternoon. Fresh from a day's rest Wednesday the Mlchaelmen ran through a series of drills and a short, hard scrimmage with a drive that fits well with Coach Petras' short passing and fast cutting attack.

In fact the offense of the Purple courtmen seems to be developing into fast, hard-hitting play that complements perfectly the physical qualifications of the Hilltop hoopsters. Excepting Barry Branon, Coach Petras' men are all of limited stature. Offsetting this handicap there is plenty of speed apparent in the Purple bas-keteers. Recognizing these facts Coach Petras has given his charges an offense calling for fast cutting and hard, accurate passing. The past few practice sessions reveal development in this type of game that is encouraging to the Purple mentor.

The team that will take the floor against the Norwich qintet has not been announced. It is certain, however, that gametime will see Capt. Barry Branon at cnter. At one forward will be Willy Morris, a star at St. Mary's High, Amsterdam, N.

last year, whose hard-hitting play and deadly eye will make his presence felt in the Green Mountain Conference this winter. The other forward will be either Red Hnrley, prominent in last spring's interscholastic tournament as a member of Bennington High's five, or Fred Heekin of Schenectady, N. who shows much promise in his first year of organized basketball. Holding down a guard berth will be Joe Burke, one of Petras' few veterans and a dependable floor worker; at the other guard post, either Red Landers or Walt Wallin, both of Amsterdam. Landers, a fast if erratic player, will probably get the starting call.

He will have to work, however, to keep Wallin, steady and a very accurate passer, on the bench. The Horsemen's starting line-up will doubtless see Capt. Rip Williams and Mumley at the forwards, Liskos at center, and Karr and Fernandez at the guard positions. Coml, Hatfield, Gallus. Butterfield and Sullivan will probably be held in reserve.

The game, a pre-conference engagement, will be the first encounter between Vermont colleges this sason. It should give Coach Harry Oestreich of Norwich an opportunity to gauge the battle strength of his first five, as it will Arch Petras of St. Michael's. Also it should reveal the comparative strength of two Important members of the Green Mountain Conference. YALE NOT ON ARMY GRID SCHEDULE FOR '36 WEST POINT.

N. Dec. 5. (JP) Army's nine -game football schedule for 1936. announced today, finds the Cadets meeting two newcomers in addition to their traditional games with Harvard, Notre Dame and Navy.

Yale is not on the schedule for the first time since 1920 but the Cadets will play Columbia in New York, October 10, for the first time since 1925 and play host to Colgate Octo- ACW INDIVIDUAL GIFT BOXES jmmmmm As basketball enters the 6port picture, there comes the increased hue and cry for new rule explanations. The average fan wants to understand what is going on before his eyes. He wants to know why Smith was fouled, the what and why of a technical, the meaning of the bucket play. The average fan never will, perhaps, un-I derstand the intricacies of football but basketball, embracing much fewer players and enacted more clearly before his eyes, he wants to and usually does know. When you see the ball suddenly put into play from out of bounds after a successful foul throw or if you see the free throw lane barren of play and players this year, it is because new rules have changed the game that was familiar last year.

Briefly, the changes follow: Each free throw arc is to be ex- i tended, describing a complete circle. the new arc to be denoted by a broken line. The free throw circle is to be a restraining line when jump ball occurs at the free throw line. The definition of a dribble is revised. A fumble or attempt to gain control of the ball is not a dribble; that is, i after muffing, or fumbling, or tapping the ball from a group of players, a player may then recover the ball and start a dribble.

The Intermission in games played In 20 minute halves is to be 15 minutes. On Jump balls at the free throw line all players except the jumpers must remain outside the free throw circle until tne ban is tapped. If the free throw resulting from a personal foul is successful, the ball is to be put into play from out of bounds. A player may not remain in the free throw area, with or without the ball, for more than three seconds while the ball is in play and in possession or control of his team. Obviously this is a further restriction on the "bucket" play.

Much of the roughness arising from this play is due to laxity on the part of officials. It is provided that when a foul is committed against a player who is not in the act of throwing for goal, the official may award an extra free throw for unsportsmanlike conduct. This penalty would apply in the case of an unusually rough foul. On the Sidelines A long time ago, my laddies, when Joe Louis, the Brown Bomber, was only a hand grenade that is to say, a youngster prominent in the fistic spotlight was one Paulino Uzcudun, the Bounding Basque with the durable jaw. Ten-round bouts for Paulino were just a workout.

Strong enough to outlast an opponent, no matter how rough the going, he preferred the 15 -round route. But 20 -rounders were his real forte. Then he really extended himself not to mention his opponents, who probably had never chopped trees. To see Paulino going through his paces and wearing the spectators down for 20 rounds was a sight not to be forgotten. The Axe-man of the Pyrenees is now 36, he says.

He has fought them all, as they say vaguely in ring accounts. He has never been knocked out. Never been knocked down. Matched with some of the fighters he has met before, he probably could go 15 or 20 rounds again to no worse than a draw or a decision against him. Paulino, The Unterrified For these.

If for no better reasons, he will now meet Joe Louis, the dethroner, who topples all and sundry out of their eminences In the pugilistic realm, all and sundry being those who have thus far faced him. Paulino is proud of his concrete jaw, and there must be something Intriguing; about a man who, about to meet Joe Louis, announces ad lib that he will not be disturbed by the lethal left and rocking right of Detroit's merciless mauler. For this reason, the show at Madison Square Garden on the night of December IS is a sellout. For New York ring fans are strange customers. They have seen Louis punish the ponderous Primo Carnera, former heavyweight champion of the world, and make him flop and flounder like a riant eel until counted out.

They have seen him batter with piston rights and lefts the proud, scornful, sneering mien of Max Baer, former heavyweight champion of the world, and finally send the Harlequin down for the count but they are still wondering. New Yorkers Wonder Tbey are wondering if Joe Louis is really ail that has been said about him which is plenty. The greatest fighting machine of modern times the greatest puncher since- Dempsey the greatest boxer among the heavyweightsthe fighter best endowed with speed, precision and a leveling punch. What will they see when Louis meets Uscudun? The durable Paulino will take those merciless lefts and rights that pulverised Camera, battered Levinsky and brought Baer low. He will astonish the spectators by his endurance.

He will smile going to his corner at the sound of the gong-, and It may be his smile win be wreathed with Mood, like Boer's the night of September 24. He will stride confidently to the center of the ring at the sound of the gonf, and receive a welcoming barrage. For five or six rounds he will be the Bounding Basque, flailing with his fists. But the man who several years ago couldn't dent Max Baer in 20 rounds will make no impression on. imperturbable Joe Louis if he lands, that is.
