GREAT PROFIT IN
CAME This Year
Football Has Paid Big Univers.
tiles Larger Returns Than
Ever Before.
GAMES MORE SPECTACULAR
Not Likely That the Rules VIII n.
Changed Materially at the Com.
Ing Conference.

Although the 1914 football s.a,o,
was featured by the usual number .,
surprises, practically every uniyer,,tv
and college team Of note played before
large crowds and the receipts of tbs,.
games were as large II not larger than
in any year since the adoption of the
forward pass and ten yard rule.
The new style game, which was uni.
versally adopted this fall, caused IN.
surprises, and 1t also caused spectacu.
lar playing which featured near,v
every contest in which evenly match.
ed teams figured. The open STYLE os
play has changed the game, which was
rather uninteresting and featured orlv
by a few spectacular plays, to a Con.
test replete with open and spectacular
formations.
Nearly every big team In the coun.
try finished the season with bigger
profits than in any season in the last
decade. The three big universities.
Harvard, Yale and Princeton, have a
bulky net profit due to the fact that
the Harvard-Princeton game drew 40.
900 persons, the Yale-Princeton con-
test about $4,000, and the Yale-Har.
ward struggle a gathering of about To-
900. With an average price of ticket
at 81, the proceeds from these games
alone were over 100000.
Few Changes Likely.
There is small chance that the rules
committee will make any radical
changes in the code at its annual
meeting this winter. There are several
minor points which will come up for
and even II action Is taken
upon them the alterations will In no
way change the general play. The
committee and those in close touch
with the game realize that constant
changing of rules lessons the interest
AS the general public now has good

be done which may have a tendency to
weaken the popularity Of the gridiron
sport.

as Manager and May Hook Up
With Emil Thirty.

Peanuts Schieberl. fast Rock Is
land battler. had Just recovered from
an attack OF the dreaded hoof and
mouth disease before his fight with
Richie Mitchell in Milwaukee. This
was learned from Peanuts last even
ing. II happened this way.
Last summer Peanuts figured in an
automobile accident in which three OF
his companions were badly injured,
when the car in which they were rid
ing demolished a farm wagon Two
weeks ago Peanuts was called TO La
Crosse as a witness in a damage suit
which the farmer started. The hoof
and mouth disease was raging in and
around La Crosse at that time, and
more than 1000 residents became af-
fected through tainted milk. Peanuts
drank some OF the milk and later be
came iii. He went TO a physician who
informed him that he had the disease.
He was given treatment and thought
he had recovered sufficiently to fight
Mitchell but found out differently after
he had battled one round. He seemed
dazed and weak and could not time his
punches.
Peanuts admitted that Mitchell had
him in a bad way in the fifth round of
the night Richie first caught the
Rock Island batter full in the wind.
Peanuts was unable to raise his hands
to protect himself and Mitchell plant
ed at least Is or 20 punches TO the
jaw, but Peanuts became stronger
with each blow until he was able to
cover up.
In speaking of his illness, Schie-
berl stated that It affected him as a
severe case Of grip, with a tired feel
ing, loss Of appetite, and eruptions of
the face Peanuts has no alibis to
offer and gives Mitchell credit of
being one of the fastest battIers he
has ever met in the ring. He is con-
hdent, however. that he can take
Ritchie's measure in a return fight

Memphis. Tenn, Dec. 1. - Jack
White of Chicago met a tartar in
frankie Callahan, juvenile New York

rounds White had taken the beating
of his life, and by the skin of his teeth
had evaded a knockout.
The bell deprived Callahan of a
knockout in the second round. a left
jab followed by a straight right to the
jaw, put White to his launches. He

to his feet again Another right made
White reel, and he fell toward his

GOOD CARE OF SETTING HEN
One of Best Feeds Is Corn, Together
With Green Food, Grit, Plenty of
Water and Dust Bath.

The setting hen must have her daily
care and attention, just like the 1ncu-
bator. One of the best foods for set
ting hens is whole corn or corn chop,
together with green food, grit and
fresh water. Place the corn and water
in front of the nest so that during the
first day or two the hen will not have
to leave her nest.to eat and drink. On
the third day release her and scatter.
grain on the ground.
Try to have 1t so arranged that she
can get dust bath. A formula for
good dust bath is equal parts of coal
ashes and land plaster or fine sand
and some lice powder. Let the hen re-
main of the nest for about five min
utes. The next day take her off at
the same hour, if possible, and from
then on she may stay off the nest un-
til the eggs are cooled to blood heat
The hen should be busted with lice
powder,l and the second time on the
eleventh or twelfth day. and again
three days before Matching. One may
omit the second busting, but not the
third on the eighteenth day, as the
hen should be free from lice before the
chicks hatch.
