HEAVY BETTING 1 ON GRID GAMES Large Amounts Are Wagered Weekly on College ) Football (James New York, Oct. 20.—(U.R)—An unprecedented wave of betting on college football is sweeping the United States, even overshadowing that on the entire world series, ac. cording to those who make the sport their business. Here in New York the betting may be done with all the dignity attendant upon buying cotton bales, wheat futures or blocks of stocks. Robert Darnell Company, a brokerage tirm of nearly twenty years' standing, reports that it'? a dull ■ week which does not see a turnover of SIOO.IXIO. It covers all contests in which there is any serious fan interest but makes no hets itself. Accept Any Bet “We'll accept any bet, no mat- 1 ter how large,” a representative of i the company told the United Press “But we get a 'cover' for it. We don't risk any of our money. Our

■ profits come from the 5 per cent commission.'' The heaviest betting is done by well-to-do old grads who prove | their maintained loyalty to dear old alma mutnmy by betting in ; large chunks. I “An average bet for this type of man is around $200,” a Darnell ofI Helal said. "It's often 1500. Wo ' regard SI,OOO as a ’good bet,' but sometimes they go higher." Many Offices Conduct Pools This betting is only a fraction of the total done in New York alone. Hundreds of offices conduct pools, with the play ranging from dimes to dollars a game and which cover some thirty or forty games each week. Then there s the “football card" method of betting which looks so easy on Friday and so tough late Saturday evening. The card idea is like this: You get a list of sis- , teen games. You can play as heavily as you like--50 cents, sl. $5. $lO or more. You can pick as many games as you like, but you must pick at least six and every . pick must be correct. o To Ask Later Dates For Squirrel Season Indianapolis. Ind . Oct. 20 —(U.R) —Later dates for the open season on squirrel next year will be ask. ed of the 1955 state legislature. Kenneth Kunkel, director of the fish and game division of the state | conservation department said toI day. Kunkel said hunters expressed 'considerable dissatisfaction with j the dates of the season this year | and that a survey showed that j with the season opening Aug 1 many squirrels were left to die when older females were killed. The practice is making serious j inroads on the squirrel supply in the state, Kunkel said. o Three Yokes Changed His Mind New Britain, Conn. —(U.R> —John Mikalauskas started to make a cheese omelet, but changed his mind when he cracked open an egg and found it contained three yolks. He placed it on exhibition in his restaurant window —o Makes Old Coffin Ready ; Gilbert'? Ark —(U.R)—A. D. Morgan carefully dusted the coffin he has kept in his home here for the last 14 years and told visitors recently, “I think I'm going to be needing it soon and want to see that it's in good repair." o Quit Smoking At 104 1 Lincoln. Kan —tU.R> — Grandma ' Holman quit smoking a few days (before her 104th birthday recently. : She explained it wasn't because she feared wh.it it might do to her 1 health, but she lives alone, does not "hear well and feared she might start a fire.

KIDNAP SLAYER IS EXTRADITED TO NEW JERSEY ——————— 1 continued It was only a week ago Monday that Jersey started i s fight to ~ l-ring Hauptmann here. On that ’' day. a Hunterdon county grand 1 jury returned the Indictment charging him with the kidnap i , crime. ' As he awaits trial which Attorr | ney General Wilentz previously 1 I said would probably start in two I or three weeks —Hauptmann will j Ibe alone In his jail tier. Looking' i out his window, he can see the! . ! court room where he will be tried. | Sheriff John Henry Curtiss has 1 i detailed six constables, working iin pairs on eight-hour shifts, to 1 j guard him. Outside his cell is a j "bull pen" in which he will be . | allowed to exercise. The bars of the cell are saw- , ,| proof. Four steel doors work with an intricate locking system. Not only were Jersey officials considering the details of Haupt-' mann's imprisonment, but they asserted there was no fear of any ■ mob vengeance. "The man can't get out." Sheriff Curtiss said, “and nobody can 1 get to him." In sharp contrast to the century- I old courthouse, the jail is corn- ' pletely modern. It was built in ' j 1926, of concrete and steel.
