Vt ;' United (Unlet nml ntio tvhfeli will lio
business man In tho city of Philadelphia, should rtpprcclnto the vnlue of tho
Btnctium. Whllo tho proponed structtiro will bo under tho supervision of the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania, It really will be a municipal arena which rnn Imi used for
other than nthletlo purpose. II Lauasnt fleyelln, chairman of the board of di
rectors, president of tho Athletic Association nnd a lending figure In nlhletlcs nt
Pennsylvania, I responsible for the start of the campaign to ralso enough money
to build a stadium that will neat 100,000 spoctnlors nnM which will bo largo enough
to conduct any sort of nn nthletlo avent, from a football tntno to tho Olympic
Championships, nnd prominent business men tloclnro thtty nro ready to lake nn
active hand In nny plan that may be decltlod upon by n committee nppolnted
by tho board of directors of tho Athletic Association of tho university of I'enn
eylvanla. City Would He Greatest Beneficiary
TIIC city of J'htladelphln would bo the greatest bcnoflelnry If Jtr. Ooyolln's plan
Is carried through. Tho Army-Navy footbnll game nnd many other great nth
talla events that attract thousand of visitors, who spend n lnrK sum of money,
bavo boen lost to l'hlladelphla because thoro Is no suitable place to stago nueh
vents In a satisfactory manner, Not only would tho Army-Navy gumo return to
this city, but Virtually every other I!r athletic event would be held hero. The war
in Europe cannot last forover, nnd us soon ns It Is ovor steps will bo tnkcii to
resume, ,lho International nthletlo meet known an tha Olympic garnet If Phila
delphia had the stadium, which seems assured, because of tho nggresslvo rnm
palgn of Mr. Ooyelln, It Is cortnln that tho llrst set of Olympic Raines would be
hold In tho Philadelphia stadium. This ono ovent nlono would mako tho ontura
worth while.
Football Growing Fast
1 i fTlHE University of Pennsylvania Is taking tho Inltlathe In the campaign because
tho last football season proved beyond doubt that tho great nutuinn gnmo of
tho colleges has grown so fast that It will bo Imposslhlo to nccoinmodnto tho en
thusiasts who desire tn attend tho games. Never In the long history of football
at l'onn has tho Athletic Association been confronted by the problem of caring
for such largo crowds. In fact, Venn ban had many lean cars because of tho
poor caliber of tho teams, but the grnnd work done by Hob Folwoll will place tho
Rod nnd Uluo on top of tho heap. Tho wonderful turnout of 77.000 persons at tho
Tale-IIarvnrd game proved conclusively thnt winning footbnll pays, nnd that
Stadiums largo enough to nccomtnodato an unheard of throng renlly nro not largo
' enough. Evory scat In tho Ynlo Howl was taken when tho 1311s nnd Crimson mot,
and It Is said that fully 10,000 applicants wcro turned down. If Now Ilavon can
attract-nnd accommodate ouch a largo crowd, what would be tho result If lnn
' bad a stadium?
Great Attracliona Would Result
THE? nttondanco nt Venn's names hint fall Is ono great argument In favor of n
stadium. The Ited and Uluo broko nil previous, records for attendance but
still Is far In tho rear of Yale, Harvard nnd oven Princeton, and thoro Is only
ono reason tho lack of a stadium. IVnn openod Its season with West Virginia
and drow 13,000 fans, nnd tho attendance throughout tho senson was correspond
Ingly largo. Howover, there In llttlo doubt thnt twko tho nutnbo'r of persons would
have attended tho Inst threo gamos had It not been for tho fuel that tho general
public behoved thoy would not bo ablo to got anything but tho poorest scats in
tho field With a stadium It would bo posiiiblo.to scat within tho two twenty-five-yard
lines more, people thnn I'enn had at any game Tho avcrago fan does not
Uko to tilt behind tho goal posts nu mutter how closo to tha Hold of play thoy
may happen to be, and this has been tho ono in cut drnwbuck to rrunklln Klold.
Yale Game Would lie a Certainty
PENN hopes to rlio In tho football world with tho growth of tho game and
Franklin Klcld la no longer suitable. As l'onn has no othor plot of ground and
cannot got ono without nld, It Is necessary for tha lted nnd Illuo to push tho plan
for tho stadium. I'enn hopes to schedule games with Ynlo and Prlncoton, hut this
cannot bo done without chnrglng nu uxorbltnnt price for curb admission unless It
has ft Held ckpnblo of holding nt least twlco an many peoplo as Krankllu Field.
If l'onn had a stadium there would bo no question about Yale's .willingness to
como hero In 1918, while other largo colleges, would seek a placo no tho Ited and
Blue's schedule. As tho receipts of football at Yalo prove conclusively, the
mammoth stand Is needed and will pay for Itself
' jWorld'a Scries Games Could Be Played Here
TIUI stadium could bo used for numcrouH things. Philadelphia Is Just about
the leading sports city of tho country, and many times In recent years tho need
of u stadium has been clonrly Illustrated tn other brunches of sport ustdo from
football. From 1010 until tho last senson Philadelphia has staged n world's series
'every fall, burring 1912, when tho Ited Hox and CHants were tho pennant winners
kij the American and National I.eaguei. Uach season thoro weru thousands of
disgruntled funs who had supported tho team throughout tho season, but did not
;o tho bluo ribbon event. Borne fallen! to attend because thoy bollovcd tho price
JtaiJ exorbitant, whlla others woro anxious to pay almost any price hut could not
tot tickets. This was n natural condition whon It Is considered that nclthor local
park can accommodate 20,000 fans. With a stadium almost every ono with any
Ceslre to seo a world's serlon could attend ami It would not bo uocessary to rnlpo
tho prices to suoll tha receipts.
Project Needs Public Support
PHILADELPHIA needs tho stndlum, and It Is not likely that tho committee
nppolnted will experience great dlincuUy in raising the sum needed to con
struct It. By buying tho Woodlands Qcmotery property much tlmo and monoy
Would be saved. Tills plot of ground Is a wonderful nnturnl amphlthentor. Tho
majority of It Is a great rnvlno, and as It In planned to build tho structure below
the street love), nn enormous sum of monoy would bo sacd bocuuso of tho natural
advantages, Tlili also would lie an Ideal spot because of tho trolloy, train nnd
' elevated facilities, while the surroundings are perfect. Kvery sport lovor should
and probably will do everything posslblo to mnko this wonderful plan of Mr.
Qeyelln and the University of Pennsylvania a success.
"Dutch" Johnson Makes Good at Northeast
NO FEWEJlt than eight all-scholustlo football olovons havo boen picked. Includ.
InB the second teams only two Northeast High players wero awarded post,
tlons or given honorable mention, which Is, to our way of thinking, a great tribute
to Frank "Dutch" Johnson, the former Central High, Ocrmantown Academy nnd
I'enn player, who handled tho Lohlgh ocnue cloven for tho second time. John.
Bon's material won poor, being far below tho usual Northeast standnrd, but he
turned out a great team that camo within nn nco of winning tho local chnmp!on
ehlp. Johnson proved himself a high-class conch, and he bids fulr to follow the
footsteps of brother Oeorgo, who gruduntod Into the collegiate coaching ranks
after handling Northeast for several years. He knows football from t(ie ground up
and was a brilliant quarterback ten yours ago. "Dutch" was unfortunate enough
to be attending Penn when the fumuus Stevenson was ut his holght nnd played
second fiddle. Carl William rated Johnson as the third best quarter In tho coun
try when ho was playing substitute to "Stevle," placing only Stevenson sua Hock
well, of Ynlo, ahead of the Northeast coach.
' Gamblers Placed Odds Ayalnst Canton
CAN any ono Imagine giving odds of 10 Ut 7 against a team composed of Thorpe,
Calac, Dunn, of Dickinson; Qheo, Souoy, Weyinnn. pf W. and J.; Uuck, of Wisconsin-,
Russell, of I'enn, Spears and a few lesser lights? Well, It actually hup.
penod. but tho parties laying the odds lost about 115,000 whon Jim Thorpo's Canton
rofesslonals defeated Masslllon for mo
to the game but Canton, and, after tho game was over, the Masslllon backers
wandered whero they got the Idea that their, team had a chance with tho Won
awful aggregation of stars collected by Thorpe. Incidentally, the presence of
fUo In the Canton line-up explains his
Irglnta Wealeyan. Culao decided that
Kparq pi ins nauirtsa uvuih imm vr wuuiuu, uu uui um iiuiinavo lo persuade
$1m much. West Virginia Wesleyan had built Its offense around this wonderful
ladlan fullback, and his desertion at the critical point of the season has made him
reeWe4Iy unpopular but not In Canton, ns he played even better than Thorpe.
t
A WISCONSIN Judge haJ rulnd that a lighter who was dUqualltled for dellber
ately foqllmj another is pot entitled totals share of the purse This Is an exeellent
Idea In some respects, but make It poaslbla for an unaerupuloiui promoter, and
there are many, to get out of paying lighters In eases where tho matchmaker
or Juu owner aets as the. third man In the ring. In tha majority of the small
tiwa tola is the case, and the Judge will tlrnl that he has stored up troublo for
rM$sf and his associates.

uy j. i:. crni)) immnpiTii
SINCR my return from HcandlnnUn with
tho American track team I have tx'en
nsked such questions n, "What kind of a
trip did yon have (coins ner'" "Old u

nro tha Srdci'" "Is Ilolln. the man who
beat you. fust?" "Wero yoi In tho wur
xuneT' "Illd jou see any unrshlps or sub
marines?" "Weren't jou afraid?" etc
1 will try llirouxh thin column to answer
all these ouastlons and to kIno an uLcuunt
of our trip
We left No York on September 28 nnd
It took us eight days to get to Kirkwall,
where no wero held up tlirco du)M by the
Kngllsh for Inspection Tho weather wan
very smooth with the exception of n couple
of dns, which wan a iry lucky thing for
us, an tha Oscar II Is a small boat and In
clined to toss If the sea dots muth rolling
We all escaped from tho driadicl scnsliL
ness up to thnt point
At Klrkwnl, the ship was glcu a
thorough searching by tho Ungllsh olllccrs
After leaWng Kirkwall wo went strulght
scrosi tha North Sea, and this Is tho only
place which Is to bo feared on tho whole
Journey To begin with, It Is usually ery
rough, and If )oii aro the liant bit minceptl
lilo to seasickness it Is hero that J oil must
Uko all tho precautions which aro sup
posed to ward It off. Wo did this and
got across safe to a mnn
Dodgtd tltu SubmnrlncH
The next danger which nroho win ilio
fact thnt this wns tho territory hi which
the Cermnns are blowing up nil the Nor
wegian ships and wero doing ery well ut
that tlmo They do ant troublo the big
llncm lntcntloiuill). but thero Is tlm -danger
of them mnking more of the mlstnkts which
already hae been inutlo In this way, so
every precaution was taken first tho
boat had Its name pitntcd In er large
letters on tho sides, and lb very strong
lights were plaid on tht nuino so nny
scouting suliimrlnn could not very woll
mistake the stunner or what country to
which It belonged If they took the troublo
to look
Then, to play thlngi sare ana probably to
give the passengers lots of courage, they
swung tho lifeboats clear of tho decks,
teady tu lower should the in caul on arise
A very pleasant chap thuught ho was doing
me a favor by telling mo iiiletl that wu
really should be taking tha evening erl
ouily and that wo woro crossing very
dungerous seas, which hi Ipcd a lot towurd
making the remainder of thu trip a pleasant
one.
No Chance to Train
When It comes to tho (mention of training
on the way acrosi them Is llttlo tint van
be said for the reason that there was little
that could he done Tho distance around
the deck was Just about 100 yards, and
this meant that llttlo could be accomplished
in the way of running, except very slow
logging, for we had tu stop at every turn
Tha sprinters could get about forty jards
straight uway for their work, but It was J
risky for them with tho motion of the boat,
as they wero liable to pull a tendon or
strain a muscle.
We did this work, however, such as It
was, twice a day ut llrst, until the boards
made our legs sore, then cut It down to
once each day, with work with u medlclno
ball. We all expected to get at least four
days to train on shore before we landed,
and maybe a week, but wo were Informed
on ouc arrival In Chrlstlaula that wo were
to run on the following Saturday hi .Stock
holm, which was ono dy after our arrival
In that city,
It was the same old story as In 1312
After we had landed, evory one of us
needed work, and lots of It, ufter being
cooped up on a boat for thirteen das. The
meets went pretty much all our way, how
ever, In spite of this, and the wuy things
turned out I wait the only one who got beat
consistently, but, on the other hand, I was
the only one, with the exception of Iomls
In the high Jump, who really was racing
Swedes T'ii others had only to meet one
anothor In tha sprints and hurdles. Loomls
had a very good man In the high Jump and
lost once in ChrUtlanla, taking second to
him twice, once In Stockholm and again at
Mairao.
8prlnts Were Easy
In the sprints we usually got one. two,
three, four. They have no good sprinters
over there at all. and that Is not taking
an thing away from our men, for they ul
ways wen the racwi easily. There Is one
exception to tills last statement, lvowever.
They have one good man In Norway in
Uustad, of whom 1 will spsak In other ar
ticles when 1 write of their athletes, but
be was only good In the slxty.metsr rue
and never would be able to run In this
eountry, for be would be dlsqual Aed for

I did not get u chance 19 seo much of

chance, for wo saw about all there was
within our reach and found It ail very

Much War Talk
As far oh the wor Ih concerned thero Is
llttlcrdlffireiico between over there nnd here
The onlj thing that Is different Is that nearl
every one Is well posted nboul the whole
thing nnd thero is more tnlk about It. We
