For White of Egg

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 2S.-(AFD-
A scientific discovery of what is ex-
pected to be far-reaching in import
ance already has developed that new
protein food made from beef serum
can be used as a substitute for the
white of eggs.
Announcement of the product Is
made today by the Technology Review.
The discovered is Prof. ]. w. M. Bun
ker of the Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology.
The new food containing an amount
of albumin equal to that in an egs
costing eight cents can be made for
less than half cent, and this is one
phase of the experiments that is ex-
pected to show large commercial pos
sibilities. Nearly 1000 tons Of fer
mented egg albumin are imported an
nually from China at cost consider
ably in excess of what Prof. Bunker
expects to be able to produce from
his formula In addition there will
be an Improvement in purity over the
Chinese product.
The food in it's final form appear as
a golden powder. 1t is tasteless when
used for culinary purposes. Baking
tests have shown that 1t is rich in en-
ergy and readily assimilated by the

oopsters and Pucksers Will Get Under Way Earnest
Football Coaches
Slam Professional
Game Annual Meet

New York, Dec. 2S-(AP)-Mem-
bers OF the American Football
Coaches Association in annual ses-
sion today, launched an attack upon
the professional game and also ap-
proved measures designed to curb the
'over-emphasis" of college football.
Upon the recommendation of Hugo
Bezdek of Penn State, as chairman
OF the trustees committee. the asso-
citation voted to refuse membership
after Sept 1. 1926, to any individual
actively engaged in any capacity
with professional football, adopted a
resolution preventing coaches here
after from selecting all-American or
other all-star teams for any agency
and also went on record as favoring
restriction of football practice dur
ing the college year to two hours
daily, starting not earlier than Sept.
is.
The move to restrict practice.
which amounts only to a recommen-
datlon so far as the coaches are con-
cerned, at first was framed to cover
only the length of daily workouts but
the provision that drilling not be
started before September Is was in
serted on the recommendation of
William M. Roper, Princeton's head
coach.
Roper condemned pre- season prac-
tlce as "unethical and unsportsman-
like" adding his belief that it tends
to overemphasize the Importance of
the college game more than any
other factor.
Robert c: zuppke of Illinois, presi-
dent of the Coaches Association.
recommended that the National Col
lege A. A. which will hold its an
nual meeting here later this week, be
asked to investigate the "over- en-
phasis' of football as it relates to
coaches and to charges made direct
iy or indirectly against the game.
Zuppke did not mention his former
pupil, Red Grange, directly, but did
SO by Inference when he mentioned
pro" football and the press agenting
of star college players as being
among current problems.

the past few weeks that there is no
discrimination on this side of the At

In all divisions except the heavy
weight there is opportunity for the in
vader and this fact will be given an
other demonstration on New Years
night when Roland Todd, former mid
dleweight king of Great Britain, now
on his second visit to this country, en-
counters one of the best battlers at
his weight in America. Dave Shade of
California.
Late this month Tommy Milligan Of
Scotland will meet Mickey Walker,
worlds welterweight champion, in a
title contest.
Todd's bout with Shade Friday night
in Madison Square Garden will not be
title affair, but success for the Eng
lishman will place him high among
the challengers for the crown now
worn by Harry Greb of Pittsburgh.
Shade, who for long time disputed
the claim of Mickey Walker, still in
sists that he is a weller. and will go
against Todd as a middleweight.
AS to the heavyweight division,
America would welcome any man from
anywhere between the Poles if bat

The Daisies" are members of the
Rainy Day Club and it's president Mrs.
Louis Ralston, doubts that Mrs. Hen
derson's appeal to club and society
women of the world to war on short
skirts and cigarettes will eliminate
those expressions of women's modern
ism.
I'VE certainly builded better than
we knew" Mrs. Ralston said. I'VE
started the agitation for the short
skirt and now they are too short. Our
constitution decreed that skirts should
be at least six inches above the
ground but we never thought to place
any limit In the other direction.
Il think Mrs. Hendersons plea for
skirt to cover the ankles is entirely
too drastic. l like a skirt 10 inches
from the ground and l would ask the
fiappers only that they wear them long
enough to cover their knees when they
sit down."
But nobody can do anything now
adays to change the fashions but the
dressmaker, Mrs. Ralston added,
pointing out that the modern femi-
nine public cannot be driven" This,
she declared, was why the cigarette
drive, too, would fail showing that
girls schools and restaurants had
both lifted their bans.
Mrs. Thomas Slack. also a member

son for regretting that women's skirts
ara short.
