cation of the Entire Bak.
ing Industry

Washington. Feb. 4.--(P)-A spe-
cial investigation has been ordered
by the federal trade commission into
the Ward Food Products Corpora
ton, recently organized to deal in
materials used by the baking indus
try.
The investigation will be conduct
ed by the legal department OF the
commission and will be apart from
the economic investigation of the en-
tire baking industry which has been
in progress for several months as d.
rected by senate resolution. The
general investigation will not be
completed for several months and
heretofore it had been the general
view in commission circles that il
would embrace the newly formed
Ward company.
AS ordered, the new investigation
is distinct from one proposed IN the
senate yesterday by Senator La Fol
lette. Republican. Wisconsin, who
asked that senate committee in
vestigate all companies directly or
indirectly controlled by VIM. B.
Ward, who. with his associates, or
ganized the food products corpora
ton.
Replying to that move, Mr.. Ward
wired Senator La Toilette that he
would welcome senatorial scrutiny
of the project.

Representatives of Eastern. South

in an effort to arrange intersectional
contests. Colgate and Brown, two
of the best teams in the East this
year, are anxious to play in the Big

a game with Cornell. Alabama. the
leading team in the South, desires to
break into the conference. but the
sentiment about Southerners is that

~ HICAGo, November 2s.-Ath
4 letic directors and foot bal
coaches of the Western Con
ference met today to arrange
their 1927 gridiron schedule:
and to consider new reforms expected
to bring about more games with the
Big Ten and fewer intersectional con
tests.
The directors and coaches hope tc
complete their schedule making by to-
night and finish other business tomor
row in time to allow them to wander
over to Soldiers Field to witness the
Army and Navy spectacle.
While the schedules were being
drafted the faculty representatives Of
the conference met to consider ex-
panding the Big Ten by admitting
Notre Dame and possibly Michigan
State or Nebraska. 1t was regarded
as certain. however, that the Confer
ence would not be enlarged, but that
the faculty representatives might
take some action to enforce a greater
number of games bewteen Conference
opponents
Yost Has Unique Idea.
These reforms include q rotating
schedule, also a proposal that each
university develop two teams. one to
play at home, and the other to play
the same university on the opposing
campus. the same day. Under this
plan Michigan-Minnesota game
would be played at Ann Arbor and
also at Minneapolis on the same after
noon. Fielding H. Yost of the Univer-
sity of Michigan is the sponsor of the
idea, which also is favored by Coach
Page of Indiana.
With fewer intersectional contests,
the 1927 championship schedule Of the
Big Ten will probably provide for
more games within the Conference
than ever before. The directors, how
ever, want to avoid scheduling double
headers, as was the case this season,
when the schedule provided for Mich.
igan and Minnesota to play each other
twice, and also Indiana and North
western.
Minnesota is strongly in favor of
compulsory legislation making other
teams in the conference schedule more
games with the Gophers. DR.. Clar.
ence w. Spears, the Minnesota coach,
was in attendance, with an open chal.
lenge to Big Ten leaders, including H.
linois and Northwestern. It was re.
garded probable that Michigan and
Northwestern would arrange to play
each other next year.. They failed to
do SO this season, with a result that
both teams went through the cam.
paign undefeated, sharing honors for
the championship.
