Finals Nov. 1 Indianapolis, Oct. 22 —(UP) — Fifteen teams and 35 individuals, including the defending champions, were lined up today as the select survivors of Indiana high school cross-country sectional meets. They meet at the Coffin golf course in Indianapolis for the state finals Nov. 1. The winners, who qualified at seven sectional centers yesterday, included defending champion Johnny Stayton, Anderson high school junior, who won last year’s meet with a best time of 10:24.9 over a two-mile course. Stayton qualified at the Anderson sectional yesterday with a time of 9:41.8, but that was second best among the 35 individual qualifiers. Best time was turned in by Bill Kazmer of Roosevelt, who ran the Hobart sectional course in 9:36.0. The records of the individuals showed that George Braham of Bloomington high had the best qualifying time —at Terre Haute—but his run in 9:00.2 was over a course only one and three-quarters mines long. Braham was best among the Terre Haute contestants, however. Competing Teams Indianapolis, Oct. 22. —(UP) — Indiana high school cross country teams which qualified at sectional

College Football Is Pulling Big Crowds New York, Oct. 22 —(UP)—College football is drawing even larger - crowds this season than it did during its record shattering attendance year of 1946, a United Press survey disclosed today. The home games of 64 colleges throughout the nation have drawn 6.5 percent more fans this year than last and all sections of the country show an increase except the mid west, the survey revealed. Thus far the 64 colleges have played before 4,432,317 persons in their home games against the 4,158,955 which they drew for the same number of contests at the mid-season mark in 1946. In percentage the southwest led with an increase of 18 percent, followed by New England, 16 percent, and the south with 13.4 percent. The Rocky mountain area attendance was up 11 percent, the east 9, the midlands 6, and the far west 1.5 while the midwest was down 1.5. Os the 64 colleges reporting, only 17 reported decreases, five of them in the midwest. Three —Villanova, Baylor and Georgia—have drawn the same number of persons this year as last. Those reporting decreases were Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois, Purdue and Wisconsin In the midwest; North Carolina State, Tulane, Tennessee and Mississippi in the south; Washington, Stanford and Southern California in the far west; Southern Methodist, which now plays its home games in a smaller stadium, in the southwest; Nebraska and St. Louis University in the midlands; Pennsylvania in the east and Holy Cross in New England. Here are the attendance figures for the midwest, with the number of home games played in parentheses: 1947 1946 Ohio State (3) 209,011 217,640 Notre Dame (1) 56,000 40,000 Michigan (3) 199,149 215,739 Illinois (2) 78,327 113,398 lowa (3) 133,650 102,500 Indiana (2) 54,000 45,000 Minnesota (2) 103,426 99,148 Northwestern (3) 137,000 132,000 Purdue (2) 62,500 78,000 Wisconsin (2) 82,000 90,000 Totals 1,116,063 1,133,425 0 G.

Rayfliol Os Illinois Named Coach Os Week New York, Oct. 22 —(UP)— His team hasn’t a chance to go to the Rose Bowl, but it might wind up with a big nine championship and a better record than the squad that does. The wise guys, and oh how wrong they were, said that his team was a little over-rated in the first place and that it wouldn’t bounce back after a neck-breaking early season schedule that it has nevertheless mastered without defeat. A lot of people will be surprised it his team does take the title again, but he's been surprising folks most of his life, so it won't he a new role. He’s the United Press coach of the week, Ray Eliot of the defending big nine champions from Illinois. t The fightin’ lllini hit their peak last Saturday when they crunched perfect record Minnesota, 40 to 13, at a time when they were supposed to be at low ebb following their bruising 0 to 0 tie against army. Because the big nine, in drawing up its Rose Bowl agreement with the Pacific conference, decreed that no school could play in the new year’s day game two years in a row, the lllini can’t go back even if they should manage to beat out favored Michigan for the championship. That doesn’t worry Eliot. With the usually sad countenance he reserves for such statements, he said “I just don't think we have a very good chance to win the big nine title this year.” “lowa, army, and Minnesota were all very tough opponents,” he said. “We have several boys with injur les and a lot of others are badly bruised. I certainly don’t know how much longer we can hold together.” Fellows who have listened to Eliot talk like that before think that he should have had his tongue in cheek. They remember what he had to say when he arrived at Pasadena, Cal., last December with his Rose Bowl squad. “The boys are really down,” he said. “The weather in Champaign was terrible and we didn't have a chance for any outdoor practice. 1 1 don’t see how we’ll ever get in j shape.” After chronicling these sad 1 words, the sports writers went out to watch, the lllini in their first practice and sawjr sharp, well-drill-ed eleven, hard-hitting and bent on conquest. 1 Eliot, who worried about U. C.L. A. then went out and watched his boys rip the Pacific champions to ’ shreds in the Rose Bowl, is just as concerned over his remaining games this season aagainst Purdue, Michigan, western Michigan, Ohio State and Northwestern. Asked how - he kept his players "up” in game, he said “that’s the doggone trouble.” “It really is tough to keep the team going," he said. “We just try to take them one game at a time and play everybody in stride. I point out that the team we are playing next is going to be a tough one and the boys respond wonderfully, but 1 don’t know how much further we’ll be able to go. It has been an awful strain on the boys, physically and mentally. And for this week-end Purdue is really coming along fast.” Eliot, who now uses the “T” formation exclusively, wouldn’t trade his cocky little quarterback, Perry Moss, for any other in the country. Moss has been the mainstring of the club and as far as Illinois folks are concerned, he should be on the

They i/till could appeal to the Chilean supreme court. The army prepared to dislodge several hundred coal miners who refused to leave the Lirquen pits on the shores of Conception Bay. On Monday, soldiers forced out of i the Schwager pits with tear gas 12,000 miners who struck and refused to leave. The miners set off dynamite in front of approaching soldiers, but none was wounded. Chile’s three-w;eek-oVI icoalj strike, which involved 16,000 to 20,000 men, was the primary reason for the dispute with Russia, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. A week after the’strike started, two minor Yugoslav diplomats were expelled from Chile on a charge of promoting the coal strike on orders from their government. Yugoslavia, denying the charge, broke diplomatic relations with Russia and Czechoslovakia and accused the diplomats of those two countries of “attempting to paralyze the life of the (Chilean) nation.” —. 0 Extra Head in Cat Litter New York (UP)— Mrs. Emily Mason's cat, Lucky, gave birth to five kittens with a total of six heads.
