SPORTING NOTES.

There is one thing about the pro-
posed new system of counting points
in the intercollegiate track and field
championships that will make 1t pop
ular with second-string men. Giving q
point to the fifth man will make few
more letters In the colleges, beside
being an incentive to man to train
hard. Surely the fifth man in the mile
last year earned letter" though
probably he won it another way.
Capt. Kuhn and his Tiger hockey
players are very fortunate in one re-
spect. They have "salted' their Yale
series. and that means much In the
rivalry for the seasons honors.
Coach George Orton is making every
effort to strengthen the high jumping
department of his Penn track team, In
order that he may have a chance to
cope with Oler of Yale, Johnstone and
Camp of Harvard, Sargent Of Michigan
and other cracks in the intercollegiate
championships. Ferrier, the former
Penn star, Is assisting to this end, and
he has Lane, Jack, D. Turner, j. Tur-
ner and Rowley hard at work. getting
them into form.
Johnny Gallagher, former Yale and
Georgetown athlete and Olympic Mar
athoner, is now a benedict. He was
married in Philadelphia Saturday to
Miss Jean G. Devine of Cleveland. It
remains to be seen whether Johnny
will keep in the athletic game. At any
rate he made a host Of friends in COM
petition, who will wish him well.
Newcomers appear in athletics ev-
cry now and then, and they do their
part to help along the game. The first
indoor athletic meet Of the Telephone
and Telegraph Society will be held in
Mechanics Building Friday evening,
! Feb. 6. Dancing will follow the last
athletic event.

Packey Mcfarland is "sore'' because
he cannot get any of the big money
that is being passed out by the pro-
meters in Milwaukee. Mcfarland is
under suspension and he is going to
bring suit against the commissioners
to make them lift the ban on him.
Joe Chick will not be able to meet
Tom Loughrey at Marieville Wednes-
day night, as he injured one OF his
hands in training. 4
According to Wolgast. the former
Boer lightweight, Unholz, Is IN flnan-
cial straits. Wolgast claims he gave
Unholz 500 after their recent bout at
Fond du Lac to defray the expenses
of Unholz in moving his family from
Denver to Chicago. The chicken farm
that Unholz started in Denver must
have been q failure.
George Engle, who brought Frank
Klaus to the high position in the game
he held at one time, is not going TO
quit the game, even though he is in
business. If Klaus goes through with
his come back plans, Engle says he
will be with him just the same.

Find Alarming Shortage of
Meat Animals Since 1910 Census.

Washington, D. C. Feb. 3.-(SpeciaD
animals since the census of 1910 is
nearly beef cattle, sheep and over
8 hogs for each 100 of the total esti-
mated population of the United States
in January, 1914, according to the es-
Inmates of the Department of Agricul-
ture just published in the Agricultural
Outlook This means that il would
take 1929, 600 more meat cattle, sheep
and swine than the estimates show at
present in this country, to give the
present population the same meat sup
ply that the census of 1910 showed TO
exist.
These estimates arc based upon re
ports and estimates from the Depart
ment's field and State agents and
county, township and special corre-
spondents who have reported on prac-
tically every county in the United
States. The figures moreover have been
compared with those of the census of
1910 and with the records of tax as
sesscrs in the various states as far
as they are available. The department
therefore believes that these figures
represent the best information obtain
abl on the numbers and values of live
stock, including meat animals.
The estimates with regard to meat
animals, that is, cattle other than
milch cows, and sheep and swine, in
dieate steady and fairly uniform de-
crease in the number of meat cattle
oil ;,,
the number of swine.
Some Causes of the Shortage.
The shortage of meat animals is
probably due to g number of contribut-
ing causes. Some of the more import
ant of these are:
The encroachment Of farms upon the
range territory.
The lack of a proper range leasing
law permitting economical manage
ment and utilization of ranges.
The shortage in the corn and forage
crop due to the severe drought in Kan
sas. Nebraska and Oklahoma in 1915
which caused the farmers IN those
States to dispose of their meat animals
The increase in the value of land
and the increased cost of labor and
rNVNN LNCd, hINiiiso III NHANiS lAIAitcio-
ed cost of production.
The decline in stockraising on farms
in the East and South because of poor
marketing facilities, resulting from
many local slaughtering establish
ments having been driven out of bust
ness by the competition of the great
central siaughtering esta blishments OF
the West and Central West
The temptation to sell live stock at
the prevailing high prices rather than
to continue to carry them with high
priced stock feed, possible loss from
disease or accident, and uncertain
prices the following year
Enormous losses from hog cholera
The competition of higher prices for
other farm products.
The extent of the influence of these
various causes of shortage singly OF
combined is not definitely known and
will undoubtedly be considered by the
committee recently appointed by the
| Secretary of Agriculture to investi
J. gate the economics of The present 7r1ea
ssituation. &C.
