College Football Not In Decline Research Shows Dr. Steiner Says Sport Still Has Public Favor; Low Attendance Due to Depression SCHOOLS CO-OPERATE College football as a public spectacle is apparently showing no decline in public favor in spite of some falling off in attendance at games since the depression began, according to Dr. Jesse F. Steiner, of the University of Washington, one of the investigators of the President's Research Committee on the future of youth of public interest in football is contained in a chapter of the committee report entitled "Recreation and Leisure Time Activities." "Among athletic sports, which are popular public spectacles, college football has outstanding public support," writes Dr. Steiner. "The whole nation demands information concerning victories and defeats of better known athletes in accomplishments of the more successful publics who also receive wide publicity." "During the past few years, in spite of record breaking crowds at some of the games, considerable discussion has arisen concerning the future of college football and its possible decline in public favor. Critics are pointing to the fact that students in general seem less excited than formerly over the potential for a quicker loses interest in teams which fall below championship caliber." Prominent Schools Co-operate Fromont Schools Co-operate Leading universities and colleges co- opers to accept student certs to to light on the situation. Forty- nine institutions reported that football attendance admissions more than twice as many as 205, the increase being 119 per cent. Dr. Steiner reports, "While only a small number of institutions supplied information on the phase of attendance and receipts in the study, the reliability of the results is strengthened by the fact that they included a large number of the leading universities long prominent in football history. "Moreover, reports for a five-year period, from 1926 to 1930, which were received from 88 institutions in the matter of attendance and from 162 in the matter of attendance, reported in a striking manner the results secured from the reports covering the ten-year period. Available evidence, therefore, seems to indicate that college football is not on the wane unless the number of colleges in the 1930s are a turning of the dide. Depression Chief Hindrance DEEPER "Si neither the curve of attendance nor the curve of receipt showed any tendency to flatten out previous to 1930, there is reason to assume that hard times rather than declining in income have decreased the size of the football crowds. "The spectacular increase in attendance at football games during the past decade has been accompanied by a wave of grand stand and stadium building for surpassing any previous development of this kind. "According to reports from 135 institu- tions, the seating facilities for football spectators increased from 929,528 in 1290,270 to 1309,300 in 1309. "In so far as present evidence indicates, therefore, football can hardly be regarded as a sport in a way to something else. The huge investments in stadia which must Combat Elements Thrill "The game itself has those combat elements which make it a thrilling spectacle, entirely apart from the colorful features provided by rival student bodies. Evidence of this can be seen in the growing popularity of pro-am football during the past few years. It is possible that public interest may eventually shift from college to professional football teams because of the superior skill of the latter. If this should happen, college football may follow college football more closely in spectacle, becoming a game of no more than local interest." The investigations were carried on by 50 leading authorities in the various branches of social science under the leadership of committees appointed by President Hoover.

Kansas to Battle Tiger for Chance to Stay in Race Curd to Replace Wells at Forward; Kansas to Watch Wagner and Cooper USE TWO REFEREES The Probable Line The Missouri Tigers and the Kansas Jayhawks, traditional athletic foes, will renew hostilities at 7:30 tonight in the University auditorium when Coach George Edwards brings his conference-leading quarter to oppense for the basketball games in the first basketball game of the season between the two schools. The Probable Lincep KANSAS Harrington F HASSOURI Hartington F Cooper Johnson F Elgin Cooper Johnson G Wager Schalkie G Stutter Schalkie G Stutter By reason of Oklahoma's defeat of Kansas State last night, Kansas was forced into third place, but a victory to tonight迈 missouri would bring the Jahyawkers into a tie for first with Oklahoma, and put Missouri back into third place. However, if the Tigers win, they will jump into a command-and-control all of three Big Six teams, with a record of three victories and no defeats. Curd to Start at Forward Curd to Start at Forward Following a stiff scrummage Tuesday night and a lighter workout last night, the Jayhawks are primed for the battle. Dr. Allen has moved Bob Tavares in noob mode to a first forward bench rebound, replacing Dick Wille, another first year man. Curt has hit his stride after a alump following the first games of the season, and his presence in the lineup is expected to add scoring punch to the Kamau attack. With Curd at forward will be Paul Harrington, letterman, and Bill Johnson will jump center. Schaake and Gray will draw the starting assignments at the guard positions. Ernie Vanok, who was injured nearly two weeks ago, is not yet in the best shape to compete, and may not action soon. Tiger Captain at Center Opposing Johnson at center will be Norman Wagner, lanky Tiger captain, who is probably the only proft man in this year's roster. He'll have the tip consistently from the Jayhawk star this season. Another outstanding Missouri player is Johnny Cooper, forward, who last year as a top-ranked scoring honoree in the conference. Dr. Allen has been searching all season for a scoring forward, Wells, Curd, and Uriie have at times shown promise, but have not been consistent. As it is, Johnson, at center, has been doing the greater share of Kansas' scorer, and there is some doubt that the team's best player Wagner, his Missouri opponent, is a half-inch taller, and last year was a sharp opponent. Tonight's game is of particular interest that it will give Kansas fans a chance to see the new ten-second rule in action on a team that uses an extremely slow-breaking offense. A quarterback throws nine minutes inside the middle line brought from Dr. Allen the opinion yesterday that Missouri would not stall against Kansas. He predicted that the Jayhawks would be prepared to overcome any attempt on the part of opponents to hold the ball too long. For the first time this season two officials will be used in a Kansas home game Dwight Heum of Topoka and Marc Des Moines will work the game. Seats Available, in Spite of Crowd One of the largest crowds of the year is expected to attend the Missouri-Kansas basketball game this weekend. The team vanced ticket sale reported this morning that over 2000 tickets had been sold before noon. There are still approximately 1500 tickets yet available.
