combat--to the death The gentlemen ex-
changed cartes du jour and M. Poupoupadoup
offered his opponent his choice of weapons
either crepes Suzette or marroTss glaces.
Clepes Suzette we're chosen. The duelists
met the following morning shortly before dawn
at an obscure cafe. They squared of at sepa-
rate tables, set 20 PAGES apart, and at given
signal began eating.
For two solid hours they devoured crepes
Suzette. Then M Vaudaudiau began to weaken.
He chewed more slowly; beads of perspiration
spangled his pallid brow and his eyes grew
CLASSY. Several times he raised a forkful of
the fragrant f1apjack to his mouth, sighed
heavily and put it down again untasted. And
then suddenly with gasping cry of "Touche"
he slid under the table-dead Thus M.
Poupoupadoup's honor indicated. But his
digestion was permanently ruined.
So deadly are some food combinations,
cording to our modern dieticians, that one
wonders why they have not been utilized as
implements of warfare. OF course the threat
of foreign invasion is always present every
where; but the alarmists who pin their faith
in gas masks and bombproof cellars should
pause to consider the possibilities that lie in
the kitchen. If foreign troops invade our
shores, it might be excellent strategy to receive
them Hospitality. In New England we could
feed them cold mnce pie for breakfast and
steamed CLAIMS and Boston brown bread-the
kind that is eaten with spoon.
AZ THEY advanced inland we could regale
them with quantities of fried scrapple,
buckwheat pancakes hog and hominy, maple
nut sundaes, drug store chow mein-and in .
very few weeks we ought to have them in the
throes of the collywobbles.
That is the theory of passive subsistence with
apologies to Mahatma Gandhi), and I think it
deserves trial should We ever become em-
broed in an international conflict. In any
war of nutrition, opposed to attrition, the
odds are all in our favor. Our 13 years Of
prohibition will stand us in good stead in q
gastronomic crisis. Our stomachs have been
educated in the school of hard knocks and We
are masters at catch -as-c -catch-can digestion.
Speaking for myself, I'd be willing to lay six
charcoal tablets to a spoonful of sodium bicarb
that can outdigest any foreigner on the face
of the earth.
Barring EskimoS, of course.

Wheat Sharply Dozen

ESTIMATES on wheat production for tine
l. year indicate that the United States could
hardly pass through a period of drought
similar to that of this year and at the same
time produce next year sufficient wheat for
q years supply at the present acreage figures.
Early estimates, which may be changed, of
course, indicate a total Winter wheat crop
ranging between 400 000o0 900 and 100000 600
bushels. In addition there will be a Spring
wheat crop approximating 125, ,OO0,000 bushels
which makes total about 100 900 600 bushels
short of normal consumption. There is
danger of shortage this year, of course for
there is a carryover from last year of about
26O 900 900 bushels
A second disastrous year, however, coupled
with decreased acreage might easily result in
a shortage of grain in this country. There
would be no danger of famine for other grains
available just during the wheat shortage
of war times substitutes were found.
The Department of Agriculture, in laying its
plans for the coming year, is giving careful
consideration to the question of drought and
carryover and if increased acreage is con- .
sidered essential, the restrictions will be
somewhat relaxed. At the present time how
ever, the intention is to carry with the
present acreage limitation program.

Los Angeles, Dec 27-(UP)-The successful effort Jim Londos made last night to defend his wrestling championship" lacked the usual graceful ease and stage craft of this master thespian, and in conse- quence 11.000 irate fans almost took the arena apart.

This was a great blow to the Mountains hopes for the title and while he was protesting he was counted out for being outside the ropes. That was the first fall The fans didn't like it.
 Then came the second fall. The Maintain, broken in spirit and hIs eyes still wet from the great sobs that shook his 200-odd pounds at the loss of the first fall, fell an easy victim to the champ. In all Londos spent about 10 minutes scaling the mountain, and the fans, who had expected at least 32 min utes unrestricted jew of Londos, came up bowling.

By HENRY McLENfoRE
Limited Press Stan COrrespondent)

\OMtoO fEeSS StaH COfreSpOlOeut)
 New York, Dec 27.-(UP)-In- quisitive to fault, the United Press sports department recently queried the couptry's sports editors on IA subjects/ ranging from the effects of prohibition to what's the matter with boxing. Three hundred and twenty-seven replies came in and I, hating odd numbers, will run it up to an even 330.
 Oh yes, the questions concerned the good year, 1884.
 o: What was the outstanding athletic achievement by an indivi- dual? A: Most of the fellows voted for Dizzy Dean but I'll take Lawson Little, who grabbed the British and American amateur golf titles. Dig had support. but Law son worked alone. And when did the Dizzy one ever pitch a game with that last round of Little's in the British amateur?
 o: What was the outstanding achievement by a team? A: I'll take the American Wightman cup team. Our gals weren't given a chance but, despite a hostile crowd and none the best of 1t in decisions, won in g. walk.
 o: What single incident gave you the biggest thrill in sports in 1884? A: Not having seen the Baer-Carnera fight which, had l been there, I am sure would have gained my vote, I'll cast by ballot for Sarah Palfrey's amazing come back victory over Peggy Scriven in the Wightman cup. Trailing 1-5, O-4 in the final set, little Sarah hiked up her shorts, so to speak, and, beating off match point half a dozen times, came on to win. Even the queen was pulling for her at the finish.
 Q: What was the greatest con- troversial sports incident of the year? A: The refusal of the New York Yacht club to entertain Tom my Sopwith's protest following the third Americas cup race.
 Q: What coach-football, track, baseball Or whatnot-did the finest teaching job in 1884? A: Mickey Cochrane. The Mick took an ordinary bunch of ballplayers and did something with them other Detroit managers - even those who had Cobbs and Heilmanns and Veachs and Crawfords-couldn't do. I did wish, however, he'd ex- plain that swollen fist schoolboy Rowe brought to the final, money on-the-table world series game.
 o: What was the greatest dis appointment of the year on the part of a team? A: Three votes for Terry and his Giants.
 o: What was the greatest dis appointment on the part of an in- dividual? A: I'd say Bob Jones m the masters golf tournament. because it shattered the belief that he was faultless golfing machine which neither time nor tide nor high water could defeat.
 c: What was the outstanding sports surprise of the year? A: Columbia's Rose Bowl victory. A lot of us still don't believe it.
 e: Name ten individuals you believe will dominate sports page headlines in lg3b. A: Little. Perry. Dizzy Dean. Gehrig. Baer. Helen Jacobs, Cochrane. Dempsey. Mrs Moody. cunpIngham.
 c; What is the best heavy. weight fight that could be staged ln fg36? 4: Bner vs gehmelIng. which is q tlp-off on the condition of boxing.
