HOG GROWERS
PLEASED WITH
BETTER PRICES

The Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce reports that a number Of
dairymen who have gone into the
hog business in Imperial Valley
lately have expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with the recent rise
in hog prices, which are now up 10
S6.65, as against the prevailing price
a month ago of $3.50 This is very
satisfactory to those who have re-
Gently gone into the hog business
at the instigation of the El Centre
Chamber, which is urging the use
of skim milk by dairymen for feed
ing hogs and the sale of skim milk.
rather than the selling of whole
milk, which is less profitable.
Visitors at the FL Centro cham
ber state that an exhibit at the
state fair at Sacramento, arranged
by the college of agriculture at Da-
Wis, brought out the benefits of feed
ing skim milk to hogs and much
educational work has been done by
the college of agriculture and state
departments to increase the Separa-
ton of milk by dairymen, believing,
as stated by the local chamber, that
there is more profit in selling cream
and feeding the skim milk to hogs
than in selling whole milk. The
recent rise in hog prices is there
fore very encouraging to those who
have followed this advice and are
now separating their milk and feed
ing the skim to hogs.
In commenting on the value OF
skim milk for hogs, E. H. Hughes. of
the department of animal husban-
dry at Davis, had the following to
say in a letter to the Ell Centre
chamber commenting on Imperial
Valley conditions: From my point
Of view there is probably no feed
quite so valuable as skim milk in
raising young pigs. For your con-
ditions in the Imperial Valley, l
would think ration composed of
barley, alfalfa, and skim milk would
be very excellent one and the re-
suits from feeding such a diet
should be very good indeed. Skim
milk has been fed for a long time
and should probably be fed in GER
tain definite amounts, such as grain
mixture one part, skim milk from
three to five parts. Such a mixture
gives one a ration that should pro-
duce growth and economic gains in

IRISH TO HAVE
NO PICNIC WITH
PANTHER ELEVEN
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. %. U.P) - Two
undefeated. unscored upon elevens
will square off against each other
when Notre Dame meets Pittsburgh
before a crowd of 10000 at South
Bend Saturday.
Pittsburgh comes west for the
second time this year, having prev
iously defeated Iowa, 300, at Iowa
City. The Panthers have rolled up
lat points in four games and
haven't had their goal line crossed
Pitts line, according to John
Frederick and Ike Voedisch, Notre
Dame Scouts, is better than North
Westerns forward wall. McMurdO.
a 220-pound giant, and Quatse at
tackles are as good as Marvil and
Riley. Northwestern two 300
Founders, according to the Notrc
Dame Scouts. II they are any bet
ter then All-American recognition
is none too good for them.
In the Notre Northwestern
scoreless tie in the rain and mud
at Soldier Field, Riley and Marvil
of Northwestern and Krause and
Kurth of Notre Dame looked like
the four best tackles that would
get together on one field at the
same time this year If Riley and
Krause continue to play up to the
standard of the Northwestern -Notre
Dame game. they are almost GER
tain to make the All-American
team.
II McMurdo. who starred against
Iowa, can outplay Krause. then
there will be no argument about
the best tackle Of the 1881 season.
The Pitt game marks the second
of Notre Danes four hardest bat
ties. The first was the Northwest
ern game which ended in a dead
lock. If the Irish get by Pitt then
they do not have another crucial
game until Southern California's
high-powered scoring machine comes
TO South Bend, November 81. The
last difficult game for the IRISH
will be the seasons final against
Army at New York November %.
Pittsburgh has a veteran team,
with the exception Of Bob Hogan.
sophomore quarterback. DR.. Jock
Sutherland has his offense work
ing SO smoothly that he sent his
regulars in for eight plays against
western reserve last Saturday.
They scored in this time and then
were replaced by reserves.

MILLION DOLLAR
BOXING GATE IS
THING OF PAST
BY DIXON STEWART
United Press Staff Correspondent

oHittu ITtSS Stdfl SOTTtSpD1utDt
The million dollar gate" has
been a symbol of the pot of gold
at the end of the promotorial rain
bow since the late Tex Rickard
rammed that trenchant phrase into
fistic vocabulary. But a survey OF
big money" bouts since the old
master departed indicates this su-
er-spectacle of sport may become
museum piece.
Tex bequeathed to poSterity as
his masterpiece the Jack Dempsey
Gene Tunney battle in Chicago
when S2,658,660 clicked through the
turnstiles. Since that bout the ag-
gregate of the five outstanding
matches of any outdoor season.

in more than $500,0O0 of the Demp-
sey-Tunney mark.
In 1929 the Jack Sharkey- -Paolino
Uzcudun scrap in New York drew
s38l ,230. Tommy Loughran and
Jimmy Braddock crossed $147,09
Al Singer and Kid Chocolate at
tracted S215,266. Sharkey and
Loughran played to s320,335 and
Ace Hudkins and Mickey Walker
were good for $l41, ,459 at Los An
geles.
Sharkey was again part of the
leading money winner in 1880, the
championship fiasco with Max
Schmeling, which drew $765, 1888
Other bouts were far below. George
Godfrey and Primo Camera ac-
counted for $l80,175; AL Singer and
Sammy Mandell attracted $162 1888
to a championship fight; Jack Kid
Berg and Chocolate drew s181, ,178
and Singer and Jimmy McLarnin
were good for $162,349.
Gate Decline Continued in 1881
The decline continued this sea-
son. Schmeling and Willie Strib-
ling attracted S349, AIS in Cleveland;
Walker and Sharkey 1929 1856; Pao-
limo and Max Baer $79,666 at Reno;
Tony Canzoneri and Berg S50,210
and Canzoneri and Cecil Payne
S43,924 at Los Angeles.
There were a few bright spots on
lne IlSClc picture. Inc CaIlzONeTl-
Payne gate was a remarkable tri-
butte to the game Italian cham
pion. Jack Dempsey cut swath
through the sticks in a series of ex-
hibitions carefully played up to in
dicate he was prepping for a come
back. At Portland Jack drew
S27,295; Seattle fans paid s20,500
and Spokane addicts went for
$50. These cities are known to
tht trade as $4,000 average fight
towns.
In Boston Billy Ames, Boston
Garden matchmaker, showed Ernie
Schaaf and Jim Maloney before a
S3l,437 gate and Young Jack
Thompson and Lou Brouillard to
S15,493, both good marks for Bean
town. At Cincinnati the Bat Bat

OAKLAND, Cal, Oct. %. U.P)-
Max Baer, the LiVermore butcher
boy, knocked out Jose Santa, 244
pound Portuguese man mountain,
in the final round of their 10 round
bout here last night after outdis-
tancing him all the way.
Santa took a count Of six in the
ninth round and went down for
seven on the first blow struck in
the 10th. He rose weakly, went
down once more and then a right
cross to the chin ended the fight.
Although outweighed 80 pounds.
Baer won every round but the
third which was even. Santa had
little to offer except bulk. and he
was further troubled by finding
Baer in better shape than he has
been for a year.
Santa made a pretense of aggres-
sion in the early rounds but a Sc
we're body attack put him on the
defensive until he took the count.

scrimmage of the year, with the
first and second teams opposed. The
scrimmage was played with the in

fenSive work by the second team
was exceptionally fine, and showed
development of several promising
reserves.
The first team worked its plays
WELL and was able to gain consist
emily through the stubborn defense
opposed. Maiden, Jones and Ber-
ry were the best ball packers and
are expected to make big gains Fri
day night through the Brawley de-
fense.
After the scrimmage between the
first and second teams last night
the second and third teams held
short Scrimmage. The third string
showed some good tackles, and
