BALL UNDER THE JERSEY. Pop Warner says the old "hid- ball under the play wg.a first used by Cornell against State In 1S98, when Pop was Cornell, but he is mistaken. It w'as first used by Heisman jind Auburn against Vanderbilt in 1895 at Nashville.

Vanderbilt had scored a touchdown earlier. Auburn had the ball and Reynolds Tlchenor of Auburn, an All Southern quarter- liack. who weighed 118 pounds, called an end run. He fell forward at the time as If hurt. He had stuffed the ball under a loose sweatcF and as both teams swept to the left, Tichenor got up and ran 50 yards to a touchdown.

Helsman used the play later again.st Georgia when Warner was coaching at Georgia. how the ball under the play later came to Cornell. It was a Heisman invention, but Pop later used against Penn State and Harvard. MEW YORK. (UP).

Football, as reflected in attendance figures, lost ground In 1930 as compared to 1929, according to a survey by the United Pres.s. Admission figures at sixteen universities, representing every part of the country, indicated a definite falling off in patronage. The largest occurred in the middle west, with each of the six representative colleges of that section reporting drops in attendance. The Pacific coast, however, enjoyed increased attendance. Attendance figures in the east were below tho.se of 1929, while the south showed a slight gain.

Inasmuch a.s all parts of the country have been adversely affected by the business depression, and since there have hcen attendance gains in sections and los.ses in others, it could be assumed that the appeal of the game is reflected directly in the success or lark of success enjoyed by the colleges. Two Sections Gain. On the Pacific coast and in the south, where the type of play ha.s improved by leaps and bounds, the attendance is steadily increasing. In the east, where the game Is not so well played a.s in the past, and in the midwest, where the type of play is about as it was five years ago, the attendance has dropped. Athletic officials at many schools dislike to issue attendance figures and gate receipts until after a most comprehensive checkup.

Hence the figures printed below are to be considered only as approximations. The estimates of of the colleges represent attendance at home games alone. For example, the Washington State attendance is ILsted at 32,000, but that is the number of persons who saw the two home games, and does not Include the thousands who saw Washington State away from home. Here are the 1930 and 1929 attendance figures: Knnlhiini BABE BE NG 01)1 AGAIN Slugging Outfielder Reported to Have Refused to Sign Contract.

Tomorrow: A Strange Man of India. BY BRIAN BELL. NEW YORK. Babe HerniJin, the hard hitter of the Brooglyu Robins, IS Sill i to Ix- the first holdout of the baseball season which does not start until next year. Herman lives at Glendale, his friends say that the Robins have sent him a contract for 1931 which ho promptly' returned.

have to have a raise from this figure or remain out of liase- the Babe has been quoted as telling his intimates. Herman was a hoklout last spring until the training season was practically over. It wa.s understood he was offered a contract for $15,000 and countered w'ith an offer to play for $25,000. The $10,000 difference was far too much, thought the Brooklyn cffi- ciaLs, and it was believed that he finally signed for $19,000. Herman is w'orth a good salary to the Robins when he is at the bat, but as a Iwise runner he has been more or less a liability.

And some of the Brooklyn funs have been unkind enough to suggest that Babe is not the best hitter in the league w'lth men on ba.ses. Booed for Homer. Hcrni.an, perhaps, is one of the few players in either major league to hear jeers and boos greet a hit for a. home run. An actor is said to have remarked once at the Polo Grounds; "You never hear any one hiss a home A trip across "The Bridge" might be worth while.

Herman came up three times W'ith men on ba.ses when a hit w'ould li.ave tied the and then, with the game definitely lost, hit a ball out of the park with nobody on the bases. BrcMiklvn fan.s take their baseball and will stand for no foolishness, consequently the Babe as he crossed the plate was greeted with shouts of derision. At that, Herman probably will get a rnl.se before the first ball is pitched in'the 1931 of the Natic.nal league. The new all star Ktiiitc l.vavv.H for thv Mayo i.liitir SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UP).

Nortlnve.siern Michigan and Purdue, leaders in the 1930 western conference foot))all race, are ritiing the rest of the athletic wave and hope to continue their dominance thruout the big ten biusketball race.

Kelffhas been the star of two game.s and scored 10 field goals and six free throws against Notre, Dame to tie the Big Ten individual scoring record established last year by Murphy of Purdue. Michigan has a promi.sing crew of sophomores and may prevent Northwestern from taking an undisputed championship, just az the Wolverines did during the football ra.ce.

Coach Vcenker zays the performance of his new' men will decide standing and the iinpre.ssive performance of the new men in practice tilta indicate the Wolverines w'lll be a seriou.H contender for honors. Purdue Loses Murphy. Purdue has lost three brilliant stars in Murphy, Glenn Hurmeson and Herman Boots, but is certain to play an important part in the race.

re.signation had not been anticipated by college authorities, who had expected him to re- turne next fall for his sixth year as Iowa State mentor in spite of a line of two straight years without a single victory on the gridiron.
