In the nlr and the faint purple haze thut hangs over the distant hills lell's that Indian summer Is at hund. A mammoth structure of concrete and steel, gleaming white In the sunny October afternoon, holds a vibrant mass of humanity Hands playing 40,000 songs and the measured cadence of a sharper explosion of souud as human dervishes In white break into a new set of contortions. A shifting, changing kuleldoscope of color and motion and sound which Is suddenly stilled In that breathless moment before the whistle shrills. A thump and a soaring object high In the air the pounding of cleated shoes on the turf the Impact of human bodies two lines of husky young American manhood that bend and sway. Then with the eyes of the 00,000 riveted on that little group of 22 down there on the rectangular patch of green, one of the lines shifts and spreads. A crouching figure runs buck from the mass-anthe ball shoots over the line Into the arms of a player far off to the right As he turns and takes the first step In his field, the 60,000 flight down the chalk-marke- d Touchcome to their feet In one mighty roar And that's football down! Such was the scene that was repented, time after time last year and if the season of 1920 Is any criterion It will be repeated many more times during the season of 1927. When the curtain went down last November, an eastern sports writer declared that Superlatives only may be used In reviewing the football season of 1920. In matters of attendance, stirring competition, thrilling Incident and amazing form reversals no season In the more than fifty years of gridiron play approached the ten weeks which recently passed into history. If oidy the matter of attendance ulone were considered It would be sufficient to.siiow what a hold football now has on the American public. Time wus when Vos Popull knew but little of rah, rail, rah. He left that to the collegians and regarded with a tolerant eye the autumnal madness which afflicted them early In September, reached Its high fever point late In October and then cooled off with the first snow (lurries In November. Itut In late years this virus got Into the body politic and, before he realized it, Mr. Average American was troubled with the fall restlessness which had heretofore afflicted only bis sons and daughters ns they began packing their trunks to go away to college." Perhaps It Is not saying too much to assert that there Is one Individual principally responsible for this change in the public attitude toward football, and that Individual is the erstwhile Iceman of Wheaton, 111., young Mr. Harold Grange. The young Mr. Grange began playing football under the tutelage of Coach Bob Zuppke at the University of Illinois In 1923 and immediately gave promise of being an unusual back!', eld man. Then the season of 1924 opened. Illinois was stadium with dedicating Its new million-dolla- r 50,000 00,000. h, d 1 Michigan us the opposing team. A crowd of had gathered for tlie' event.- (The photograph of that crowd is shown above.) Michigan 07,000 kicked off. The agile young Mr. Grange received tlie half and" ran "through the whole Michigan team for a touchdown. Michigan kicked off again and after one play Jirange took the ball and again ran the length of the field for a ttruch-dowIn fact, four times during the first quarter tlie Illinois halfback danced across the Maize and Blue goal line to score and just to complete tlie afternoon's work he made another touchdown later In tlie game. But it was not until the season of 1925 that this youngster became a national figure. Illinois was scheduled to play Pennsylvania, one of the strongest teams In the East that year and undefeated up to the time they met the western Invaders on historic Franklin field. The Bust had heard of Grange, of course, but it was a bit skeptical of the Middle Wests boast that he was a gridiron superman. Sixty-thre- e thousand people suw that game despite the handicap of a muddy field, carry tlie ball 32 times, average 11 yards cur- every play, run through the whole Penn team twice for gain's of 50 yards each time and score three touchdowns. But more important than tlie fact that Bed Grange was one of the greatest football stars that ever sped across a college gridiron and that his eutry Into professional football gave it new life Is the fact that he was the dominant figure In giving several million Americans a new major sport Interest which promises to give baseball serious competition for the title of the great national game." For after the seasons of 1924 and 1925 the American public had tasted football and found It good. So It was prepared to niuke the season of 1920 the greatest in every respect that the sport had known up to thut time. As early as the third week of the 1920 season, the various stadia In different parts of tlie country, seating from 40,000 to more than 00,000, were reporting capacity crowds. Ity tlie end of the season tlie larger colleges of the East reported that at least 5.0O0,0iK) had seen their games. In tlie Big Ten the game had drawn a total gullery of more than 1,500,000 and on the Pacific coast seven college teams had played before 1.250,000 fans. All in ail, it has been estimated that the 200 or more colleges which had football teams drew into their football stands the amazing total of 15,000,-00persons. Since the tickets were priced nil tlie way from 75 cents for the small colleges, to the top price of $15 for the Army-Navgame, It Is estimated that the American public was willing to spend a minimum of $30,000,000 for Its Saturday afternoou diversion and that figure may be increased by several millions when tlie nctivities of tlie speculators are taken into consideration. I Vvas a season of thrills and upsets, too. Dartmouth, the undisputed champion of the country In 1925 and without a defeat on Its record for nearly three years, failed to wlu a single major contest all season, losing to Yale, Harvard, Brown and Cornell. Again and again the little David triumphed over the giant Goliath. Harvard lost the first game of the season to little Geneva college; early in the season little St. Mary's, out on the Pacific coast, humbled the California boat-shape- n. d - -- . 0 ; Dears; Knute Rocknes Notre Dame team, famous for Its Four Horsemanship, seemed to be riding easily to national honors until they came a cropper at Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech won by a score of 19 to 0. But they took their turn In upsetting exercises when they journeyed out to the Pacific coast to meet Coach Howard Jones Southern California eleven. Except for a defeat at the hands of Stanford, U. S. C. had been clicking off victories at a regular pace. Then Notre Dame came along and handed them a 13 to 12 defeat in the game 'which rang down the curtain on the 1920 season. Thrills and upsets, upsets and thrills! At Ithaca, Cornell, trailing Dartmouth 7 to 23 In the last period, unleashed a sensational attack which carried Dobies men to a 24 to 23 victory over the Green. At Annapolis with Colgate leading Navy 7 to 6 in tlie last minute of play, on th Middies 3 yard line and headed for a touchdown, a Colgate fumbled and Lloyd, a Navy end, picked up the ball and ran 97 yards to a Navy 13 to 7 victory. At Minneapolis, Michigan outrushed 20 yards to 1 by Minnesota and trailing 0 to 6, scored a sensational victory In tli last period when Benny Friedman kicked the goal to make a final score of Michigan 7, Minnesota 6 But the climax of tlie season tn Interest and to attendance came on November 27 when tbe Army and the Navy met In the Soldier .field stadium at Chicago. It was the first time tlie annual service game had ever been played west of the Alleghenies. It was the first time, too, that f crowd of 110,000 had ever gathered to see a football game. Early in tbe game tlie Navy rao roughshod over tlie Cadets for a lead of 14 to 0. Then the Army rallied, tied tlie count at 14 to 14 and scored a touchdown to give them a 21 to 14 lead. Then the Navy came hack with a volley of passes and Halfback Slmpley skirted the end for a touchdown. Tlie score was then 21 to 20. It remained lor Halfback Hamilton of the Navy to decide tlie issue. He kicked the goal. Scorei Army 21, Navy 21. Such was the season of 1926, the season of What will 1927 be? It also mnj superlatives." be a season of superlatives in attendance or it thrills when Harvard meets Yale, when Californ a meets Stanford, when Pennsylvania plays Cl W eago or when Notre Dame and Southern California meet on Soldier field on November 20. For this week and next week and for the next five or six weeks 15.000,000 Americans or more will be crowding into college stadia ail over the United States to await the one big thrill in the game, to come to their feet in the mighty roar of Touchdown 1" For thats football I one-poi- saw-Gran- y Does He Aspire?

Definition of Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them, or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Is guilty of treason. Misprision of treason consists, in general, of having knowledge of, concealing and not disclosing the treason of others. Deciding a Difference It is better to decide a difference between enemies than friends, for one of our friends will certainly become an enemy and one of ouy enemies a friend. Bias. BRIGHTON Fall of ten inches of snow at Brighton was reported FrF. day morning of last week by Harry Hamond, observer, to H. K. Burton, city superintendent of waterworks.

MYTON Growers of alfalfa seed in this portion of the Uintah basin have been greatly handicapped during the past week because of unfavorable weather conditions. For several days they have been delayed in the cutting, stacking and threshing of alfalfa seed.
