King Baseball May Lose First Place to Football
In the matter of attendance, at least baseball is being crowded for the first place by football.
Sixteen of the season's big gridiron battles drew crowds of close to 400,000. It is estimated conservatively that the sport every Saturday afternoon.
Some of the big games and the at tendance were:
Cornell-Dartmouth — 25,000; Colgate-Dartmouth — 20,000; Penn-Penn State — (in rain); Princeton-Harvard — 15,500; Yale-Brown — 25,000; Pittsburgh-Washington and Jefferson — 20,000; Notre Dame West Point — 10,000; Yale-Princeton 65,000; Syracuse-Calgary — 65,000; Penn-Pittsburgh 25,000; Williams-Amerhst — 12,000; Ohio-Union — 10,000;College-10,000; Army-Syracuse — 18,000; Michigan-Chicago — 20,000; Michigan-Ohio — 20,000; Illinois-Illinois — 18,000; Northwestern-Wisconsin — 5,000; Kansas-Missouri — 13,000.
When the immense Yale bowl with its seating capacity of close to 70,000 was built, some of the skyclothes recombined for the first time in the test. But it had proven inadequate for the crowds attending the Big Three battles. Stadiums to be erected in the future may provide for 100,000 seats, and it will continue its growing popularity.
Even high school football was productive of bumper crops of attendance. At West Sommerville, Mass., 15,000 turned out to see the Sommerville-Medford high school game. The crowd poured out of the field in such numbers that the game had to be called at the end of the second period.

University Women Appeal For Gifts to Send to Poor Children
Would you like to be a child Christmas Day and receive no gifts, candy or fun? Can you imagine yourself with nothing to remind you that the best season of the year had come?
Miss Nathana Clyde, c13, who is doing Christian Americanizing work among the foreigneers of the Kansas City packing house district, knows many children and adults for whom Christmas this year will be merely a celebration of life. He is dark than other days—people who have not nounced to eat and wear.
The University women of Prof. L. E. Sisson's Sunday school class of the Baptist Church plan a Christmas barrel for the people in Miss Clyde's district. "It will be real sport and loyalty to Christmas spirit and meaning to help fill that barrel," one of the women said today. "If every University man and weed will contribute to the people of Lawrence will contribute to the people of Lawrence will become barrels." Good nuts will be in place. A can of mother's preserves, a box of candy, or nuts will be appreciated.
Berlin (By Mail)—The latest development in the German industrial world is the production of rustless steel.
This product, patented by the Krupp works, is a chrome-nickel-stool alloy, which, besides resisting the corrosive effects of water, can withstand the action of acids. Hence, it is available for such apparatus as surgical instruments, many which had previously to be made of precious metals.
Dentists are experimenting with the rustless steel as a substitute for gold and platinum in artificial teeth and plates.

Consider Your Feet What Boots Them
"How can you best judge a student's character—by studying the eyes or the mouth?" An upperclassman who wears her clothes well was asked. Without a moment's hesitation she answered, "By looking at her feet."
The little refinements, the taste of selection, the fit, and the form are things that count for much in the field of feminine footwear.
They are the things that make Fischer's shoes and slippers especially at the many "Formals" the coming holiday season.
