city title MeCallister sent his boys out to clinch the title at the start He offered his ace Francis Lengel to do most of the ball lugging and Lengel who has tallied 194 points In 11 games romped away from the opposition for three touchdowns Capt Russ Morse at quarterback did a great job of handling his team and finding his opposition's weakness Morse converted five straight place kicks Into points after touchdowns Waite's opposition tallied only nine points this season Devllbiss was the first team to score a touchdown against Waite and It manufactured that after a penalty had taken it to the

Basis As Football Admissions Shrink Review of Leading Schools Shows Even More Drastic Steps Are Ahead (BY UNITED PRESS) NEW YORK Dec Intercollegiate minor sports will the brought about shrinking football gate receipts a United Press survey showed At many colleges one or more of the minor sports have been entirely eliminated At others some of the minor sports have been reduced to an inter-mural basis The Middle West has been especially affected For example cftiio State has eliminated baseball entirely Tennis golf and swimming which once were carried on the regular sports curriculum have been made Intramural activities Oregon and Oregon State took an even more drastic step Most minor sports at those universities Including golf swimming and tennis have been abandoned Baseball however was spared and will be retained as an intercollegiate sport along with two others football and basketball These universities will continue to sponsor some intramural contests but even such activities will be curtailed Dartmouth College up In Hanover had a weak football team and the usual accompaniment of dropping receipts at the gates So Dartmouth has now abandoned freshman baseball track basketball and hockey This leaves football as the only freshman sport Earlier in the year Dartmouth had eliminated five freshman sports golf tennis swimming lacrosse and soccer At that time Dartmouth also eliminated varsity boxing and fencing Taking the lead from the state university most Ohio colleges have clipped two or three so-called minor sports from their programs Purdue and Indiana are standing pat on their present programs having curtailed minor sports activities one year ago Rose Poly of Terre Haute has eliminated basketball This Is surprising because Indiana is supposed to be the big basketball-playing state of the Union A shrinkage of 875000 in football receipts brought drastic cuts at Northwestern where baseball track swimming golf and tennis activities were reduced from 80 to 50 per cent with baseball the heaviest loser Iowa will continue' to conduct minor sports so long as each pays Its own way This rule will necessitate elimtna tion of several branches for minor sports are notoriously nonsupporting Wisconsin and Indiana have thrown out several sports while Michigan will endeavor to carry along a full program Michigan had a winning football team and a prosperous season Basketball pays nearly as well as football In the Rocky mountain area and becaure of this no curtailments have as yet been announced Business ss usual Is the order at
