Billy Evans Says:

Wrestling, as a sport, is enjoying a
big revival in the college world.
The Big Ten" 81 me west, as well
as. r-7JtsCr the leading eastern institu-
:iOns, are paying much attention to
wrestling as sport.
For a time, the mat gamo received
only n luke-warm reception. but that
attitude has changed entirely. In
many of the larger schools from 500
TO 1000 students take part in wrest-
ling events which are graded to meet
the physical possibilities Of the various
candidates.
In recent years the football coaches
have come out strongly in favor of
wrestling as college sport. 1t devel-
ops there is method in their madness.
wrestling makes for better football.
This is particularly true of the for
wards.
There is the case Of jim Mcmillan
of Illinois. A good lineman n year
ago, Mcmillan took up wrestling,
and became the most talked-about play
er in the middle west last season. Syce
the close Of the football season Nc
MILAN has gone back 10 wrestling and
continues TO show Improvement in the
tricks of the mat fame. Such being the
case, it is only logical TO assume that lie
will be an even better football player in
the fall.
In the East no lneman is more fear
ed than Tiny" Mcmahon of Penn
State, who measures 6 feet Z inches.
Mcmahon is a great wrestler, also an
equally great forward. In 1921. when
Penn State made three touchdowns
against Harvard. il was through gaming
holes made by Mcmahon that Killinger
and Wilson filtered for big gains.
1t is an easy matter to figure how
wrestling can work TO the advantage of
n lineman in football. Wrestling de
mands coordination Of the arms and
legs. That trait is also most essential
in football. The tricks of the wrestling
game give the lineman who is familiar
with them a distinct advantage over his
opponent. And the beauty Of it is that
the tricks Of the mat game are usually
sanctioned by the football officials as
perfectly legal.
All of which explains why football
coaches are advising the football players
to take up wrestling-the lihemen in
particular.

If Greb fought Dempsey and Jack
was unable to knock him out, it il
just possible that Dempsey would look
as bad in defeat as did Gibbons.

attaching entirely too much Importance
to Gibbons defeat by Greb.
When the mention of bout between

FARMERS IN TEXAS TURN TO OPERATION
75,000 Cotton Growers Market Prod-
 ucts Comparatively

DALLAS, rex, Marcn ll.-MOro than 75,O00 cotton growers in Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona and Arkansas now market their product through coop erative organizations, according to reports from these organizations just made public.
 In Texas the Farm Bureau Cattle Growers association numbers 2O.000 members; in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Cotton Growers have a membership of 36,0OO; in Arizona there are 12,000 and in Arizona more than 1000.
 l.. r. Mckay, educational director of the American Cotton Growers ex- change. states that the cotton belong ing to these members are placed in warehouses and the grower is ad- vanced money to the amount of 60 per cent of the value of his crop at the first of the year. After this the cotton Is pooled and sold in an order ly manner, preserving an average price for the year.
 However, the cooperative move. ment appears to have made great headway in other agricultural lines in Texas. the Melon Growers ex- change numbering 43 local organiza- lions, while tho Sweet Potato Growers number 796 members in IS counties. The wool and mohair farm- CTS have organized what is known as tHe ooutnWeStern tarm Bureau Wool and Mohair association with $40 sheen and goat raisers. This association handled 100000 pounds of wool last season, according to it's secretary's report.
 All of these associations claim as their object the orderly selling of their product in order to keep the market steady.
 The Texas Wheat Growers associa- tion. organized early in 1922, had a membership of riore than 1000 mem- bers in 2o counties in Texas and in JanuarJ was reported to be growing at the rate of 50 per cent a week,
 Other cooperative associations With smaller memberships now op- erating in this state are the Texas Hay association, with 500 members: the Texas-New Mexico Alfalfa Grow CTS association; the Texas Farm Bu- reau Onion Growers association and the Texas aCttle Raisers and Pro ducers association.

 Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who led the successful fight against the League of sNations. and who de- tended his course by referring to the warning of George Washington against foreign entanglements," will assist the President the coming summer in working up sentiment for at least one "entangling alliance" with the nations of Europe.

CANADIAN PARK |S. ESTABLISHED F0R
 CARE IF BISON
Two Herds of Wild Animals Will Be Furnished Per- petuaI Pasture by
 Government

OTTAWA, Ont, March 11.--A new of wild bison, to be known as Wood Buffalo park, has been established by the Canadian government near Fort Smith, Alta. on the. west side of Slave river.
 The new park includes within it's borders the habitat of two herds of wood bison estimated to number 2,oo0 head. These wood bison differ little from the buffalo that once blackened the prairies of the United States and Canada, but are said to be slightly larger and of darker color.
 The existence of herd of wild buffalo about Great Slave lake and the headwaters of the Mackenzie river has long been known, but in- formation regarding it was so vague that up to two years ago the Amer ican Bison society in it's annual cen- sus estimated it's numbers at 300 head. An official of the Canadian government. while engaged in ex- plorations near Great Slave lake, saw wild herd which he estimated at 1000 head, and Indians informed him that a little farther north there was another herd of equal size.
 As a result of this information, the Canadian government has estab- lished the new park as a perpetual pasture and breeding ground for these two wild herds. With the ex- ception of a small herd still roaming the northern fastnesses of Yellow stone park, these are the only wild bison remaining In North America. The bison population of the conti- nent, according to an estimate of pr. w. F. Hornaday, recognized authority on the buffalo. once to- tailed 15,c00,00O. and it's distribution extended from the Atlantic seaboard to little west of the Rocky noun tains.
 The Canadian government herd in Wainwright park in Alberta now numbers nearly 1000 head, or three fla-cc ca1 cll h ais.axa in a. laf O.
