Today's Angle In
Sports

Once upon a time not so many
years ago, there was a certain
glamour about Harvard, Yale
princeton to the scholastic student
with athletic inclinuations.
The superiority of the so-called
Big Three was admitted in all
branches OF athletics. When a
smaller college managed to beat
Yale, Harvard or Princeton it was
an occasion for much jubilation.
A star athlete east, west, south
or north, upon his graduation from
a preparatory school, had a hard
time deciding which of the Big
Three" he would attend. Very often
the athletic superiority of one of
the colleges during the preceding
year, would be the basis for reach
ing a decision
Those days. however, are over.
The superiority of the Big Three"
is now a myth. The way they have
been slammed about in all branches
OF sport by smaller colleges dur
ing the past five years, has broken
down the barrier of invincibility
that once existed.
The east. west, south and north
now boast of many institutions Of
learning whose athletic teams com
pare favorably with the Big
Three" of the east In fact, some
of them have demonstrated their
superiority over Yale, Harvard and
Princeton in a most decisive man
ner.
This fact has been brought to
the attention of the public during
the Christmas holidays by a trip
made through the state of Ohio by
the Yale basketball team.
The Yale team was defeated
every night for a week by small
Ohio colleges, the names of which
a lot OF students at Yale probably
never heard of.
. No doubt the Yale alumni are all
'het up" over the showing of the
Blue. 1t seems poor policy for
Yale to tour the country with an
inferior team. Certainly it adds
nothing to the athletic prestige of
that institution.

Official jester of baseball. The re-

Nearly the whole of this intolerable
burden is borne by the owners of Wis
IDLE property, who are paying go per
cent of the state tax. We propose to
stop it by placing a debt and tax limi-
tation in the constitution. The amend
ments will provide for a pay-as-you-go
policy In all government running ex-
penses. 1t will provide for refunding
of bonds when due instead of post
poning payment. Furthermore, no
debts above certain limit can be
contracted except by the direct con-
sent of voters"
Mr.. Dyer explained that the pro
posed amendments are the result OF
two years work by the eight farm bu-
reau executive board members, eight
state grange directors and a number of
other representatives of civic bodies
He stated that the expected result of
tn amendments will be to force dis
covery of new sources of revenue, re.
moving the unequal burden from Wis

actment of an income tax provision.

Learn Rice Recipes
Of Southern Mamnaes

There is one thing that fingers in
the memory of any one who has ever
travelled south and tasted the cooking
of the famous southern mammies. It
is that dish of white, tender, flaky
rice with rich chicken or ham gravy.
In the south where rice is eaten as
an all-the-year-around and everyday
in-the-year vegetable, it is served with
gravy, or with golden butter melting
through it. The dinner guest in Dix
lie, whether he will or no, is served
rice and gravy with his meat.
There are many other savory south
ern rice dishes that every cook should
know how to prepare. These are in
