FOOD C0NSERYER
PROPOSES ADDED
RATION MANDATE
Enforced Orders to Restaurants
to Further Scale Down Mem
Is Proposed.
LARGER EXPORT For ALLIES
Hundred t'(ll'ion Bushel Wheat
Shorta'::o Exists Among En-
teute Nations.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 12.-En-
forced food conservation in restaur-
ants and extension of anti boarding
regulations to make them apply to
the household are included in the
plans of the food administration for
creating larger export surplus of
food for the allies.
This was revealed last night in a
statement by Food Administrator
Hoover. setting forth that the allies
are in need of an additional 10000
600 to 90,0OO,0OO bushels of wheat,
and that they have asked America to
double meat exports. Only by further
saving; Mr.. Hoover declared, can the
food be shipped.
No Need for Ratioring.
There is no need for raioning in
America in Mr.. Hoover's opinion, and
with the supplementary regulations
there will be no shortages
1T is true that the allies need from
75,O00,000 to 100000 bushels more
American wheat" says the statement.
1T is also true we have already ex.
ported the theoretical surplus of last
harvest over our normal consumption.
The American people have saved a
considerable amount estimated from
25,000,000 to 100000 bushels dur
ing the past five months and we are
exporting this saving.
''We can not and will not export
more than our savings, for our own
people must also be fed. The allies
have reduced the bread ration to their
people sharply the last few days and
if this lowered ration is to be main
tanned we must save more than hither-
to.
every grain Of wheat and every
ounce of flour and bread saved now
is exactly that amount supplied to
some man, woman or child among
the allies. 8wN'
Further Reduction Sought ~.
eve are asking the AnloI can peo-
pie to further reduce their consump;
ton Of wheat products and use other
foodstuffs, instead, for the allies must
also have some wheat as we'll as our
selves. 1t is one of the vital issues
in winning the war that we must
maintain the health and strength and
morale of their men, women and
children over this winter.
Our forty-eight state food admins
traitors have been in session in Wash
ington the last few days devising
with us further program of saving
which we will announce in few days,
in which we count with confidence on
public support"

ATHLETIC CLUB ID
 !. BATTLE VANDY FIVE : NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT
Coach Spencer Working the Local Quintet Into Fine Shape-Dance Follows
 the Game

Vanderbilt university will be the next opponent of the Birmingham Ath- letic club. The two lives will clash Friday night, starting promptly at S.30s o'clock. The usual dance will follow.
 Coach Ed Spencer has been working his men hard for the past few weeks, sending the candidates through stiff drilling twice week. No games have been played with the exception of class contests.
 Little is known of the strength of the Commodores. It is known that they lost most of their best men from last years five. but what Coach Mo Gugin has this season remains to be seen They have not played single game.
 In former years, the Commodores have proved worthy foe for the To- calls and in 1916 registered a victory.
 Manager McEachin is busy booking games for the local aggregation, and some fast and furious battles can be expected. The usual classic with the Atlanta Athletic club five will be held late ill February
 The regular varsity squad for the locals has not been selected as yet, and the showing of the candidates in thes Vandy game will have much to do with the final awarding of the berths.

Ring Records Show Position Attained by Sport With
 Fans in 1917
GOVERNMENT READY
 TO BOOST ATHLETICS
General White Tells of Years of Ob- servatiOn on the Western Front. Great English Track Athlete
 Killed at Front

New York, January 12.-That boxing held it's position as one of the lead ing sports from the standpoint of att tractiveness to the spectator during 1917 is amply demonstrated by the ring records of sthe past year. Nei- tEer promoters nor pugilists are in- clined to play the game unless there is reasonable remuneration involved and the fact that some TO of the lead- ing glove knights participated in close to HOO bouts during the F months just ended indicates that the box office receipts were up to the usual standard.
 Such statistics as are available show that a large majority of the HOO bouts held were staged in eastern cities, where the contests are limited to en- agreements ranging from six to twelve rounds unless cut short by knock out As a result large percentage of the bouts terminated in draws or no-decision affairs but allowing for this handicap in reaching decisive fin ish the percentage of knoelSouts was trif;e better than per cent. Light weight champion, Benny Leonard leads ill this respect, his record showing the surprisingly high standard Of winning almost two thirds of his bouts by knock outs
 Some idea of what this 66 2-3 per cent efficiency means can be gained from comparison of this record with that of other American title holders for the year just closed. Pete Her man, the bantam champion, won about per cent of his bouts by the K. O.. route. Johnny Kilbane, holder of the featherweight title, did better, win ming 10 per cent of his ring encount- CTS by knockouts. Ted Lewis the well terw eight champion, won 20 per cent of his battles in a like manner The middIeweight title holder, Mike O'Dowd, just crossed the 16 per cent mark, while Jess Willard, custodian of the heavyweight crown, did not in- dulge himself to the extent of de- lending his title and so drew blank.

VALUE OF ATHLETICS
 APPRECIATED BY ALL

That the value Of athletics Tn 1nl- proving the mental and physical con dition of all men from the standpoint of military service is appreciated by English as well as United States gov ernment officials Is shown by the fol- lowing statement by Brig. Gen. Will fred A. White after several years of observation of the western front:
 When the athlete has gone to the front his place in athletic ranks should be immediately filled. Sport is the foundation for health, and too much emphasis cannot be laid upon it's ben efits and necessity. Athletics are of paramount importance in keeping the soldier fit and the same is true of the man who must be prepared to be- come a potential soldier.
 "The soldierly qualities developed are many. Discipline Is encouraged, fnasmuch as discipline is the very es- sence of team play. Quickness of de- cision and speed and agility are not to be overlooked and what cricket and football do for the Englishman base ball. football and track athletics do for the American"
