To Frame Schedules Dec. 8.
Following the successful west

coaches OF the Big Ten teams will
gather at the Auditorium hotel,
Chicago, Dec. 6 to draft the 1920

schedule the allowed number of
seven games with other conference
teams. while others will adhere to
the old custom of stating the re-
quired four contests with other
! members Of the fold.
Illinois, the conference cham
pion, is receiving the usual num-
Der of challenges from other sect

and the bell that starts Johnny
Dundee and Charley White into

IL going to be another Of those
clashes that draw the fans.
These same fans are going in a

will pull about $4,000. worth Of
humanity out Of our fair city. With
the prices 81. 81 and s., this should

Looks like this old fighting game
was In the midst of a great boom
In this section Of the country. Dun
dee and Willie Jackson pulled al
most $4,000 for . popular priced
show, then Pinkie Mitchell and
Sailor Freedman drew all the fans
that could get inside the Lakeside
arena at Racine. but that wasn't
in It with what the Mike O'Dowd-
Mike Gibbons scrap drew at st.
Paul last week. Matchmaker Jack
Redy announced tho receipts for
that encounter slightly over
$4,000.
The one thing that stands out
and which Is drawing the fans to
Milwaukee today is that fact that
both Dundee and White hope to
make 1t . knockout scrap. Dundee
seems cocksure he's going to turn
the trick and that White also thinks
90 Is evident from the fact that he
placed q little wager ut odds Of ]
to s that he topples the italian.

After his workout yesterday
White declared that he never fell

looks the part. But 30 does Dun

Severe Penalty for Clipping Being
Asked Of Rules Committee
BY Eastern Coaches.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-Although a
number of important football
game, contests which will not
effect the championship in any Sec
ton Of the country, remain to be
played ON Thursday and Saturday.
the season practically has ended
and because Of unfortunate incl
dents. At least two important points
viii be brought to the attention of
the rules committee ct its annual
meeting this winter.
These points have been empha-'
sized more in the east than in the
west. Close followers Of eastern
football claim more injuries can be
attributed to clipping this year than
ever resulted from the old mass
play. The bad features Of the play
are that 1t generally affects the
players knees and puts them out
Of the game for . year or more.
Advocate Severe Penalty.
Eastern coaches, who advocate
clean football, are in favor of max
ing the penalty for clipping more
severe. They intend to petition
tho rules committee to make the
| penalty half the distance To the
goal line instead of 10 yards, the
present penalty. II this 10 not Sc
we're enough they they want the
man who commits the act to be
ruled out Of the game.
Eastern teams have suffered
greatly through the results Of clip
Din. and . number Of western elev-
ems have BEEN severely handicapped
BY injuries resulting from the play.
Northwestern men were injured
early In the season and some OF
them, including Ellingwood, have
mot yet recovered.
Most Dangerous Of Plays.
Clipping 10 BY far the most dan
gqrous play In football at the pres

against. There Is little excuse fol

OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT WHEAT AND OAT CROP

Europe will require from 41o,OOO,O0O
to 460. 200, 900 bushels. II these figures
prove correct, there will be a very lit

there will be no trouble to dispose of

Sheep Growers Urge Eating Of

Placing Roast Legs on Picnic Tables
Spreads Demand-Those Eating

(By II. p. Hite, Sheep Specialist, Ex-
tension Division, University of Ten
nessee.)
Eat more lamb meat.
The people of Tennessee have so
long been accustomed to the eating
Of hog meat and beef that they have
overlooked the value of lamb and NUT
ton.
sheep growers particularly are cali
ing attention TO the value of lamb be-
cause of the fact that II IS a delicious
meat, and because there is an over
production.
Lambs, TO make the best food should
be fattened quickly thru the use
of the widest variety of feeds. They
must be butchered right, that Is case
skinned, and neither the hands nor
the wool should be allowed to. touch
the carcass while 1t is still warm. o
To prepare, split the carcass down
the middle with saw, and divide in
halves, into quarters, leaving two
short ribs on the rear quarter.
Mutton trade has been developed as
result Of taking roast mutton to pic
mics, July 4th celebrations, and to
other holiday gatherings.
Why Tennessee people have not de-
veloped the mutton-eating habit Is
rather mysterious They just have not
Is about the only answer. One of the
divisions of extension specialists re-
marked the other day that short
time ago he ordered mutton steak
when he could not buy beef or pork,
and that he was so much pleased that
he has continued eating this kind Of
meat instead of the others.
Sheep owners can increase the de-
mand for mutton by boosting at all
times the pleasing taste of this meat.
Placing nice mutton roasts on picnic
tables Is one of the best ways to
spread the desire for this sort of meat.
II the demand becomes large, as II
should IL boosting campaign is car
red on, the industry will be greatly
aided.
