ATTENDANCE SHOWS DECLINE New York. her. 1* <U.R)--F<>ot bail, an reflected in attendance fig tires, lest ground in 1930 as compared to 1929. according to a na-tion-wide survey by the United Press. Admission figures at 16 nnlvers-l hies, representing every part of the country. Indicated a definite falling off in patronage. The largest decreases 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 s were below those of 1929, while the south showed a slight gain. Inasmuch as all parts of the country have been adversely affected by the business depression, and since there have been attendance gains in some sections and losses in others, it could be assumed that the appeal of the game is reflected directly in the success or lack | of success enjoyed by the several collides. On the Pacific coast and in the j south, where the type of play has , improved by leaps and bounds, the! attendance is steadily increasing. In the east, where the game is not so well-played as in the past, and in the mid-west, where the type of play is about as it was five years ago, the attendance 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 some of the colleges represent attendance at home games alone. For example, the Washington State attendance I | is listed 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: College 1930 1929 Fordham 220.000 170,000 i Pennsylvania .... 435.000 437.000 Harvard 356,294 410,189

Three —The Boulder Dam project ind the opening of the Columbia river basin, both of which will bring many fertile acres into production. Four—A shipbuilding program which, among other things, contemplates a crack passenger service ! between Australia and the South Seas and the American mainland. Time to Work "AU these developments and scores of lesser projects, will be given their start in 1931” Mount said. "It is not for me to say how far they will go toward bringing business back to capacity production and distribution. But they suggest, at least, that the time has come to quit talking and thinking depression. "It is not going too far to say that 1931 promises much although its benefits may be delayed some what by the uncertainty of public confidence.

“The most helpful sign I see Is that these great enterorises that are getting under way are no' being forced ahead merely to create high pressure economic areas anywhere. Normal Development “They represent normal development and growth. They are being neither delayed nor rushed by the present staius of affairs. As far as these en;«’rprises are concerned, the depression is merely an inciI dent.” i In regard to depression in 1936, ' Mont insisted that it had performed a distinct service for the country at large and that it is still functioning on behalf of the substantial and enduring recovery. “This particular period” he said "has awakened public consciousness to many problems, economic and otherwise, that were lost sight of under the higli tide of our re■ent prosperity and that now maybe analyzed and dealt with so that they cannot again threaten when that tide of prosperity sets in anew.” Cycle Cops Hit the Grit Newport, R. 1., —(UP) — From now until January 1.
