By OSCAR DAVIS

Atlanta, December 19.-(Special)- Techs 1920 football schedule is still un- der way though rapidly nearing com pletion. The rumored games with Col gate Syracuse and Ohio State have melted into the thin air with many other rumors. And it is now positive that Princeton will not play Tech It was a toss-up between Tech and West Virginia and in view of the fact that West Virginia is due a return game. the Princeton authorities were unable to give the preference to Tech. But, on the other hand, Penn State is all but signed up. all tut the final details set tied, Penn State will play here and be one of the biggest drawing cards of the year.
 And listen. Ye who had hoped to live 10 see Tech meet Pitt once more, lived in the hope that just one more time and the Jackets would overcome the Panther, will in all probability have tltat wish gratified. There yet remains a strong possibility that Tech will again nex. season meet Pittsburg. Yes, up there I guess If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, why then Mohammed will go to the mountain.
 Other games which are practical certainties are Wake Forest, Wander tlle, Auburn and Georgetown. And imagine that Washington and Lee will also be found on the list.

NetU York Jockey Club Has
 Done Little to Help Sport
Club Has Done More to Hinder Racing in New York Than
 to Aid Game-Amateur Judges Are Undesirable
By JAMES J. coRRErr

Tossing brickbats in the general direc- tion of the Jockey club of New York has become a great indoor sport in rac- ing circles. And there's a reason plenty of them. For the sheer inability of the Jockey Club to conceive mod ern idea as regards racing is, a pitiful lack.
 NO one would be brutal enough to suggest" stated one turf writer, that the venerable and sacrosant Jockey cub would be better off for a series of high class funerals. But no man of intelli- gence denies that racing and the thor oughbred breeding industry would be better off if g. half dozen resignations from the clubs steward list were turned in. If ever there was a governing body in the process of intellectual disintegra- ton from dry rot the board of stewards of the Jockey club is that body"
 Racing in the New York district has prospered during the years of its come back"-despite the Jockey club. For the so-called dominating organization r1s done practically nothing to help the sport. Instead it has stood pat on old antiquated methods which have hurt the game-and hurt it greatly. Were it not that the love of horse racing is so deeply rooted in the hearts of New York CTS, the obstructive policy of many of the Jockey club stewards would have crushed the sport back into oblivion
 OLD-TIME METHODISTS
 As it is, the old-fogy methods of the Jockey club have brought considerable censure upon the game, has almost ut terly ruined discipline, has made incom- petent judging rule rather than the exception and his indirectly caused tre- mendous blows to be leveled at the hon eSty of the game
 England the real home of horse rac- ing, discovered many years ago that 1t was folly to entrust the judging of races to volunteer judges It recognized the fact that unpaid men rarely will show all the concentration required for such d job. So it hired-at a good salary men of exceptional ability as race judges. As result, only on rare occasions IS any fault found with the placing of horses after race.
 But on all the New York tracks through the 1919 season there was fre- quent missing and booing by thousands of spectators over decisions on close fin-

We will very positively deny that there have been any violations of law. We have consented to the entry of de- cree for an injunction only upon the ex- press condition that the decree will defl- ntely state that it does not adjudicate that Swift & Go. has violated any law of the United States"

HarUards 1920 Football Schedule Is Out
Officials Are Suggested
 For Harvard-O Oregon Game

Cambridge, Mass, December 19- Harvard University today suggested to the football committee of the Tourna- ment of Roses at Pasadena, Cal, under whose auspices inter-sectional game, between the University of oregon and Harvard elevens will be played on New Years day, the names of two men as officials for the contest. The men are A. G. Van Surdam. formerly of Wes- leyan, and D. W. Merriman, an official in Pennsylvania games for twelve years. Neither, it was said, has ever served in any Harvard game. Both are planning to be in Pasadena on Jan uary l.

HARVARD ID PLAY OREGON TEAM JAN 1 Eastern Teams Usually Fall Before Westerners.
 Much Interest

Cambridge, Mass, December 19.-- (special)-when it was announced by the fuel administration that all restrictions on soft coal had been removed, the athletic authorities of Harvard recOnsidered their notion in regard to the proposed trip of the Harvard football team tO Pasn- dena, Cal. It is now certain fhat the Harvcard team will play in the California city on January I ned that their opponents will be Oregon State. The game will be played during the Tournament of Roses.
 In past years the teams from the east thnt have gone west to play in this tournament have met defeat and for that reason much interest attaches itself te the trip of the undefeated Crimson squad. With Eddie Casey, the AII-American back; with Billy Murray mt quarter; and such men as Horween, Hamil- ton, and Fefton to carry the ball, it is hoped that Harvard will be an exception.

ishes by volunteer judges. Time and again the amateurs seem to err horri- ply, due, apparently, to the fact that their minds were elsewhere when the final sixteenth of a race was run.
 OVERLOOK FOULS
 Another big reason why volunteer stewards should not be employed at race tracks is the fact that a group of them work in harern-scarem order. As re- suit, if the jockey does something sus- picious one day, which, if repeated the rext day, should warrant suspension, nothing really happens to him because a different group of stewards saw him the second time as saw him on the first occasion.
 The Jockey club never has attempted to abolish the added starter evil. It remains callousIy indifferent to the pleas of the racing public not to permit own CTS to add horses to a race at the iass minute.J The perpetuation of this prac- tice gives to tricgky horse owners tfe chance to withhold the entry of thelr horse until just before race time, which makes it almost impossible for the bet ting public to get a line on those horses.
 Another problem which the Jockey club never has attempted to solves con cerns the claiming race regulations. It never has placed any sort of rule that bars the owner of the So00 horse rem entering that animal into 5000 selling platter race. Consequently the owner or the first-class thoroughbred losses hls great performer into field of joke per formers bets thousands of dollars on the sure thing''--and romps away with the money.
 Of course, when such horse wins race other owners bid him up from Ne entry list. Oftentimes a horse entersd for 5000 is repurchased by the owner Tor 5000 or $s500. But that doesn't worry him, because he has won the purse oy his trick and thousands of dollars Tn bets in addition.
 If the Jockey club was truly alive to the best interests of the sport it would make rule barring owners from bid- ding for their own horse after a selling race.
 Those are a few of the racing evils on the New York tracks; evils that would be wholly eliminated if a progressive body of racing stewards succeeded the fossils now in power

HARVARD'S 1920
 SCHEDULE INCLUDES
 MANY HARD GAMES
Centre College, Notre Dame, Williams and Others
 Included

Gam bridge. Mass, December 19.- Special )--Now, since the noise of the battles of the past gridiron season is hushed and quiet reigns in the Harvard stadium once more, the follower of foot ball naturally turns his attention to the prospects for next year.
 The athletic powers that be at liar yard have arranged one of the heaviest schedules that Harvard has ever played The past season plainly showed the weakness of the system of only one ot two large games a season, and so the schedule of the Crimson for the coming year is much heavier than the one of the past-season. The main drawing card of the season will be the appear ance of the wonderful Centre college team. Notre Dame and Williams also appear in the line up for the first time in several years but it will be the initial performance in the statium of the wirldwind Kentucky aggrega tion This team set the entire fooball world on fire this past season with it's sensa- tional playing. The brand of ball it played was modern to the last degret and modern football seems to be the trend of the times
 It is a question whether Har- yard will endeavor to ipstil some mod ern ideas into her team the coming sea- son, or whether she will remain loyal to the old system.
 Boston college, Tufts and Springfield have been dropped from Harvard S schedule for 1920. These three teams were easily smotnered the past season and they have given away to the three teams mentioned above. Another change in the schedule is that Brown has been dropped back to the buffer position between Princeton and Yale. Virginia will occupy her usual place on the schedule and it is expected that the Old Dominion will put up a better fight than she did this year.
 The schedule is as follows:
 September 25.-Open.
 October 2--University of Maine.
 October 9-Notre Dame
 October 16-Williams.
 October 3-Centre college.
 October 30-Virginia
 November 6-Princeton.
 November 13-Brown.
 November 20--Ya1e.

The company has taken this step at the suggestion of the department of justice, and in spite of the fact that there is no law requiring it.
 Although Swift & Co. is convinced that it is justified in being in these lines of business, it is dropping them because of it's desire to remove the causes of fric- tion, which have disturbed it's relations with certain factions of the live stock producers. and of the distributors of food products for the past two years.
