May 29.

Pennsylvania's new "arne cods is now up to the governor for approval or disapproval, as fhe House today concurred in the amendments made by the Senate. As it was finally passed, "the new code is the best and most complete game laAv ever adopted for the commonwealth. It comprises within the one act all the important and essential points ot; some 3-" separate game laws that ornament the statute books of the state, and sets forth completely the methods which shall be used, the legal seasons, the bag limits, the restrictions on transportation and of game and all other points of interest to the hunter. Anglers' License Before the House; May Become Law FOOTBALL CERTAIN NEXT FALL. FOOTBALL Avill be played by the leading colleges of the country rext fall.

That is a certainty. Graduate Athletic Manager Karl Davis of Pitt, who attended.the Graduate Athletic Managers' Association meeting in Kew York city last Saturday, said, upon his return to Pittsburgh, that the sentiment of the meeting was all for the resumption of competition next fall. Where hysteria and chaos reigned in athletic circles at the outbreak of the war between the United States and Germany, Davis said, all was calm now and nearly every institution represented at the meeting expressed itself heartily in. favor of playing football. Practically the only institutions which did not.

outline their positions plainly were the "Big Three," Harvard, Princeton-and Yale, the ultra-conservatives. HARVARD HOLDS UP ACTION. Harvard was the leader among the institutions that were not ready to announce their decisions. Yale was represented by Walter Camp, and, while the dean of the sport did not say so in as many words, he indicated he was strongly in favor of football" next fall. Princeton also showed a leaning toward the side that favored playing the schedules.

Thus it was that Harvard's hesitancy held up action for the present at least. It had been hoped to assign the officials for the big games at the meeting, but this work was put over until the meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association at Washington in August. PITT'S BIG GAMES ASSURED. Titt's big games for next, fall are assumed. The University of Pennsylvania is fostering the movement to keep athletics in the colleges alive and Pitt's biggest game is with Penn.

Penn State and "Wash-Jeff also favor playing, and so does Syracuse. West Virginia University also is in favor of playing its regular schedule. Cornell, through Graduate" Manager Kent, expressed a very strong desire to have football played. Cornell was one of the first universities in the East to cancel its athletic schedules for the remainder of this term when war was declared. Syracuse also canceled its programs, but is heartily in favor of resuming in the fall.

Michigan is strongly in favor of playing football and Minnesota, which last year had the most powerful team in the Western conference, wants to resume this fall, expressing its wishes in a telegram sent to the meeting by Coach Harry Williams. WHAT POP WARNER THINKS. In addition to Manager Davis, Pop "Warner, credited with being the greatest football coach in the country, represented Pitt at the meeting. Pop said he was strongly in favor of football. In fact, he urged that it and the other collegiate sports be run as if normal conditions existed.

"A comparatively small number of college students will be taken by conscription," said Pop. "What will those who are left behind have to occupy their minds? They must have some sort of athletic recreation. Athletics will provide the balancing wheel for them in these times of stress. There will be plenty of men left in all the colleges and universities to furnish material for all sorts of athletic teams." Graduate Manager Davis said: "There are about 4,000 students at Pitt. Of these about 2,000 are eligible for athletics.

Suppose that one-half of these are taken away to war, which is unlikely. There still will be 1,000 left who must be taken care of in some way with athletic recreation. It is easy for anybody to figure put why it is advisable to continue athletics." Other reasons, if these statistical ones are not sufficient, are that the President and the war department both advocate the continuance of athletics throughout the country. The men who represented the institutions from this district at the meeting, aside from were: Sol Metzger, Washington and Jefferson; Ray Smith, Penn State, and Harry Stansbury, WTest Virginia University. UNDERGOES OPERATION TO GET COMMISSION.

Word has just leaked out that. Henry Levy, the former Carnegie Tech football and basket ball star, is in the Presbyterian Hospital on the Northside, where lie underwent an operation last Saturday in an attempt to remedy a physical trouble that would have marred his chances of receiving a commission in the army. Levy, who is now employed at the Wrestinghouse plant in East Pittsburgh, and has been a member of the Westinghouse Club basket ball team for two seasons, took advantage of his vacation period to have the operation performed. He went through it in good style and expects to be out shortly, after which he will go. after that commission.

The 10-round bout between Jack Lillon and George Chip at Redland Field here tonight was called a draw by Referee Lou Bauman.

The crowd called it something else. The fight was disappointing in the extreme to those who looked for the wildcat stuff of battling for which both men were reported to be noted. Plenty of blows were struck, but they lacked steam and both fighters seemed fresh at the conclusion of the affair. The seventh round provided a pleasing departure from the evening's routine, both fighters getting in some hard blows. Dillon emerged with a bruised cheek and Chip with a cut lip.

Chip won the first. feventh and tenth rounds and Dillon got the second, eighth, and ninth. The others were even. I iave Sandow knocked out Young Tom McMahon in the second round of what was to have been a four-round, preliminary. Kid Gilman put away Buck Dillon of Indianapolis in the first round.
