Sportsn,en To
Care for Game
Birds This Week

!. -f,tsS- people know it, bat the Sela4n
Commercial club has a department
devoted to the interests of the sports
men and the welfare of the game
birds of this vicinity. This depart
ment is composed of DR. III. IL. Oiinger,
chairman, Edward Hostein and Paul
Fl. Hauser
In response to calls from the sports
men of this vicinity, Mr.. Hauser this
morning called up Carl Shoemaker,
state game warden, who said that
while the present weather conditions
were not particularly harmful to the
birds, no doubt when the snow started
to melt there would be grave danger
of the birds starving on account of
their feet and tails collecting sleet and
ice ,and in which condition they would
not be ablet rustic food.
Mr.. Shoemaker stated that the fish
and game commission would like to
have every sportsman take it upon
himself to put out some feed in avail
able places for the game birds, and
that the commission would be glad to
stand one-half the expense the same

IN 1920 SCHEDULED

Football schedules of the Pacifi,
Coast Intercollegiate conference teams
for mex. year are to be much more
evenly balanced in the distribution oi
major games than they were this year
according to the schedule just an
nounceG by the officials of the con
ference.
To the inanner in which big games
of the various colleges were punched
close together this year is attributed
the systematic upsets of the dope in
the contests. Practically all of the coll
leges PLAYED at least three hard games
in as many weeks during the heighth
of the season and were. consequently,
afflicted with reversals OF form in the
latter er gagements.
The schedules as arranged for next
year are as follows:
