Much could be said in eXtenuation

it is inevitable. Time alone will dis

The Lions Club.
1t was a great pleasure to accept
hn
intendent of schools to be his guest
at a MONDAY club luncheon of the
Lions Club. BY contrast, the men
representing the vim and life of the
city, who sat around the table were
so different from those you meet in
the country on the farms engaged in
agricultural pursuits. The one group
was full of life, activity, pep, and
gingerly alertness, while the other
was in that quiet lethargical repose
of a Rip Van Wrinkle. Here was a
dissimilarity almost equal to that be-
tween day and night. A mixture of
these two kinds, the reposeful, be-
nign sort of predominating, makes up
the population of Arkansas.
There were few other guests and
each was introduced and invited to
express himself briefly. There were
two from Chicago, the one judge
who used his time in vainglorious at
tempt to dress up Chicago in robes
of pearly white. He said he was a
democrat and hoped to be until he
passed on. The supposition being
that ne might then be qualified to
enter & better party. Eventually!
Why not now?

Let it be repeated thousand times

resources. In justification of this

What We Eat.
To those who are curious to know
what they eat in Arkansas, let me
say, about the same things you do,
some a little more so and others not
so much so. Irish potatoes are quite
as common here as in the North.
Sweet potatoes are used more gen.
orally than in Minnesota. Perhaps
the hog is a more common article
of diet than with us. Warm biscuits
and corn bread are plentiful. Greens,
corn beef and cabbage, and pork and
cabbage are common on the bill OF
fare. Chicken in some form is omni-
present. Perhaps the best cooks are
the old colored ladies, but you don't
find them around where cooking is
done for the public.
For a beverage at the table, they
serve a peculiarly bitter and black
connection, which by courtesy is call
ed coffee, but it has no more resem-
blance to the delectable drink of the
same name that is had at good Min
nesota restaurants than pork and
beans has to ice cream. AS an anti
dote for excessive coffee drinking, as
a medicine, this would give unfailing
results. The remedy certainly would
be worse than the bad habit.

Coast ELeUenS
Seek Dates on
Trojan Schedule

By United Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. c.
Just now the Trojan eleven Of the
University of Southern California is
the most popular team on the
Pacific coast. That was apparent
as representatives of ten coast CON
ference schools arrived here to open
their football schedule conference
today.
Most of the colleges seem anxious
to place a game with the Los
Angeles school, which defeated
Stanford and Notre Dame and won
the coast championship. With three
contests already arranged, the Tro-
jams will have three other confer
ence dates open, assuming they play
a siX-game conference schedule.
Oregon State, Oregon, Idaho, Uni
versity OF California at Los Angeles
and Washington State are reported
to be seeking a place on the Tro-

of the scheme by the International,
Pacific Coast and American Asso-
citation magnates, so that whatever
is voted cannot apply to those cir
cults, protected as they are by the
major-minor agreement.
Of considerably more Importance
may be the national associations &C
ton upon a process handed down by
the advisory council of baseball
whereby the major league, upon
payment of fee of $4,000, shall
have the right to acquire the fran
chise of any minor league club at a
valuation to be either agreed upon
by the parties concerned or fixed by
Judge Lands.
The purpose of the proposal is
obvious. The major leagues wish to
protect themselves against en-
croachment from without or undue
expansion from within the ranks Of
organized baseball which might
bring about a situation where a
third big league would come into
existence.
It is not so much that another
Federal League war is feared. These
men Of organized baseball believe
the danger of such a war is slight
But the growth of baseball COM
munities outside the major league
cities has been such of late that
some communities, like Baltimore,
Montreal, Toronto and Buffalo,
feel they are ready for a big league
ball club.
1t might be that if expansion
were to take place within the
limits of organized baseball, these
cities would not have major league
clubs, but they would have clubs
which would be bigger than some
now hanging on in the two major
circuits, and they could compete
FOR ball players and hence for at
tendance in a manner disconcerting
to The p~""~nents of status quo.
This growth of baseball may come
to mean that the present limits of
major league ball are insufficient
to answer the demand of the public.
In that case, there must be expan-
sion, either in the direction of a
third big league or by creasing
the number of clubs in the present
major circuits. The majors are
preparing for some such eventuality
by advancing the proposal that they
be allowed to purchase minor league
franchises upon payment of a
$4,000 fee. The larger minor league
clubs are preparing to fight any
such proposal which would mean
the transfer of their franchises ar
bitrarily, no matter what hopes and
plans they had for the future.

for each incomplete forward
pass. Another believes the penalty
for the second incomplete pass in
a series of downs should be increased
from five to ten yards.
Game Slowed Up
Another angle on the forward pass
is that the game is slowing up and
losing interest as a result Of team
throwing passes helter-skelter in the
last half. The Army-Stanford game
was a good case in point. The Army

threw passes all over the field.
Another suggestion to curb wild
passing late' in a game is to en-
courage attempts at field goals by
increasing the value of field goal
to four or five points In this way
two field goals would count more
than one touchdown.
One Game Is Two Games
A move to make ut one game of
60 minutes" has been started among
many football men. They point out
that football is played in two games
of thirty minutes each under the
present rules. BY having the ball
put in play at the start of the Sec
ond half at the spot where play was
halted at the end of the first half,
many tie games would be eliminated.
Another suggestion to prevent tie
games is to play an extra period of
5 minutes or more.

engineers as opposition.
With but two men lost from last
years squad through graduation
and some promising material from

Captain Loveless, Crawley, Springer
and Gum were in basketball uni
form for the first time last week,
while Struck and Ragsdale saw their
first practice Monday. An addi-
ton to the squad this year is Wis

The Tigers anticipate a hard
game with Rose Poly and another
one with Earlham here Monday.
