1 Ccach Frank Shaugslnessy of the University of Chicago, taking the New York alumni of the Midway school into his confidence on re- cent trip East, told them there just wasn't a chance of the Maroon winning another football champion ship. Then he told them why, em- Iphasizing that he wasn't trying to iset up an alibi.
 We lack two things" he said. "numbers and maturity. Small squads are no great novelty at Chi- cago.. But was puzzled at first by the fact that virtually none of the boys who came out for football was old enough to vote, not even the iseniors.
 Then I learned that it was only natural. With it's high entrance re- euirements only first class students from prep and high schools can get into our school. It follows that the smart boys, the ones who pay at tention to their studies in high school, get through first. That is the kind that come to Chicago.
 They're Older Elsewhere
 "A survey made of nine of the Big Ten schools Chicago omit ted plus Notre Dame, showed Il boys of those ten squads who were 10 o,. lace rT,I,af O., ,x,<, ene e1>,, <>,,t <>f Chicago's total squad of about AS candidates, there were g boys of IT land 13.
 At that age boy may be big enough and strong enough to play inter- collegiate football, but if he is, the chances are he is as awkward. It really takes three years of train ing for a boy of those physical quail ities to get his muscular actions and reactions under control So most of IChicago's players are ge t m through about the time that they ought to be starting.
 Another survey showed that in the Big Ten our opponents average two years more of age per man than we do. Any coach knows that these added years are big advantage.
 Our lack of numbers results in this, that at the most we have per- lhaps dozen first string players who really rate. Injuries and other cir cumstances seldom permit us to have all of them in the game to- gether. When they are in there, as a group, we go to town. Witness the Illinois game which we won this year to wind up our season. On that af- ternoon Berwanger alone gained more ground than the whole Ohio State backfield could do against Illi- nois when we played them.
 For this years squad we had just one worthwhile candidate come up from the 1894 freshman outfit. Next fall we hope to see on the field the one promising lineman and four backs from the 1885 freshmen. So we are five times as well off now in that respect as we were year ago.
 l But while I say there is no chance of winning championships, don't get the idea that we'll take only the easy games. There will be days when all our six or seven key men will be ready and rarin' to go.

u. S. SPENDING
INCREASED BY
LATEST STEPS
Expenses Seen Expanded by
S5O0,000,000 Beyond
Budget Guess.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16-Senate
Republicans and Democrats are
leading Congress on a spending
spree which promises to increase
government expenses S500,0O0.O0O
beyond budget estimates. If realized,
the trend of Federal expenses will
be up instead Of down as President
Roosevelt expected on the basis of
the budget presented to Congress on
Jan. z.
Mr.. ROosevelt's first budget de-
feat was when the Senate voted to
restore a prevailing 5 per cent Fed
eral employees pay cut on April l.,
instead of July !. That will cost
about S16,5OOOOO. which the Presi-
dent said Congress must find with
new taxes.
The House had agreed to the July
restoration plan proposed by the
President but accepted the Senate
amendment. The next Senate bolt
was on an appropriation for seed
and harvesting loans to distressed
farmers. Mr.. Roosevelt said a year
ago he hoped it would not be neces-
sary to appropriate anything for
that purpose this year. Drought con-
ditiOns. however, compelled further
assistance

Some of this work would have

hearings on his propoS j.

of the Treasury, who has not pub
Ilcly expressed his views. would be
called before the committee.
Considerable sentiment for re-
peal of the publicity provisions has
developed on Capitol Hill but va
rious leaders expressed doubts any
changes would be voted this session.
Numerous protests against the pub
licity have been received by govern
ment officials.
MuSC Fue PlnK Sip
The last session of Congress or
dered publicity of returns in an
effort to uncover tax evasions. Ac-
cordingly, the United States Trea-
sury is requiring all Federal income
tax payers to file with their re-
turns for 1884 a special pink slip"
on which is written information to
be made public.
The deadline for the 1884 income
tax returns is March Is. The pink
slip is to be filed with the return
and taxpayers not conforming to
this rule will be assessed SIS and the
government itself will prepare the
pink slip for them.
The pink slips are to be made
public in August or later in Offices
of the collectors of Internal Reve-
nue. with which they are filed.
They are to reveal, among other
things, the taxpayers total gross
income; total deductions from in
come; net income; total credits
against net income for purposes of
normal tax and the total tax paid.
Treasury Officials Undecided
Treasury officials have not yet
determined the manner il which the
returns are to be made.
Persons desiring to inspect returns
in the IS internal revenue collectors
offices will likely be asked to sign
slips showing their intention, thus
necessitating heavy detail work
for the clerks of the offices. 1t was
believed likely, also, that newspapers
would be given a "preview" and an
opportunity to copy the entire list
for publication.
Under this plan, private indivi-
duals would not be able to capital
ize under the publicity by preparing
special lists and no premium would
be placed on the names.
Some advocates of secrecy of re-
turns have claimed that such lists
will be sucker lists for security and
other frauds as sellers of fraudu-
lent goods would have a close watch
on the financial resources of various
persons.

Smith Launches Bill

Representatives of the Farm Credit
Administration appeared before the

the loan bill first was considered.
They informed the committee that
S50O00,0O0 would be sufficient to aid
farmers who could not borrow else
where.
Chairman Ellison D. Smith of the
Senate gricult ure Committee
brought the bill to the Senate with
an amendment increasing the ap-
preparation to 100000 900. Replying
TO questions on the Senate floor, he
said his committee had made no
inquiry at the Farm Credit Admin
istratiOn or elsewhere to determine
the necessity for the extra S50000.000
but promised to present to the SEN
ate next day figures justifying the
added expense.
Acting on that promise the Senate
voted the extra S5O.OOO,OOO, but ex-
animation of the Senate's proceed
ingS next day failed to discover
Smiths report to justify the in
crease. Although that money will
be loaned rather than given away, it
will be a charge on the Treasury
until it is prepaid.
