Salads Twice a Day

A crisp appetizer salad makes
good beginning for the main
meal of the day. A combination of
watercress, dandeliOn green's, let
tuee or shredded cabbage, with
fruit, or small amount of saw
DRY fish paste will intrigue the
most reluctant appetite. And when
the salad is served at the begin
ming of a meal, you can be sure
that it will be eaten before the
hunger is satisfied.
Another way to get additional
vegetables into a meal is to mold
them in gelatin and serve as din
ner salad. Or an assortment of
fruits can be treated in the same
way and used as a combination
salad and dessert. If prepared
gelatin desserts are used, a wide
variety of color and flavor combi-
nations can be achieved with very
little effort; and children will eat
them with relish.
You'll be surprised to discover
how quickly interest can be stimu-
lated by serving familiar foods IN
a new wayl

Speeding of Sports
w no Started
Nations Game?
Debate RACES
By ROBERT McSHANE

TRADITION has it that Abner
L Doubleday, a young engineering
student and later a Union soldier,
created modern baseball 100 years
ago in Cooperstown, N. Y.
With baseball celebrating its GEN.
tennial, the best thing to do is to
string right along with tradition.
From the small town nine to the big
league club, baseball is co-operat-
ing in the nationwide observance.
The National Baseball Centennial
commission, formed to celebrate the
games birthday, includes leaders
from the game itself, from the navy,
the army, the stage, radio and war
veterans organizations.
The argument raging pro and con
over the origin of baseball makes
very little difference to the game
itself. But it does reveal an inter-
esting bit of history from the an
mails of sport.
Evidence that a game called base
ball was played more than half a
century before the Co0perstown
event has been found in the Con-
gressional Library. There, among
the ibrary's rare books, v. v. Par
ma, curator, recently inspected a

Why They Turn Pro
a SURVEY made late in April b

a SURVEY made late in April by
the National Football league
revealed that of the 200 college SEN
iors on the preferred negotiations
list, l27 had already signed con-
tracts or given definite assurance
that they would play.
That figure is surprisingly high.
Especially SO in view of the fact
that several National league clubs
do not attempt to contact drafted
players until after commencement.
There are several reasons why so
many have already signed up, chief
among them being the steady i'm
provements in general conditions
pertaining to professional football.
Desirable salaries have been made
possible by increased attendance.
The status of the pro football player
has been raised far beyond the ex-
pectations of few years ago, and
clubs have contacts which enable
them to place players in good posi-
tons during the off season.
1t is obviously impossible for play
ers of the ealibre of Whizzer White,
Davey O'Brien, Hi Aldrich and 9TH
er big-name players of the past cou-
pie of years to command the sal
airy in any other line that they will
be paid in their first season of pro-
fessional football. White, who
played one season before going to
school in England, received Sis, 1000.
Exceedingly few college graduates
can find good paying jobs immedi-
ately after graduation. For exam
pie, the average income of lawyers
in America last year was $500. Ply
sicians averaged $4,000.
National league teams no longer
resort to rosy promises in signing
college players. Experience has
proven that candor bring the best
results. A statement sent by the
Brooklyn Dodgers to all players
sought, tells them:
1--WE do not present professional
football as a major life pursuit, nor
do we offer it as the short bridge
to fortune. 1t does, however, amply
provide young graduate with the
means to tide over that perilous pc
riod between graduation and the
time for deciding upon what shall
be his life work"
National league clubs seldom ac-
cept volunteers. Ordinarily the club
makes sure through scouts and col
lege coaches that the player is
likely candidate. The Green Bay
Packers withheld offers from sew
eral men this year after selecting
them in the draft. Further investi-
cation proved to the club their abil-
ity had been overrated or that they
would not fit into the Packers sys-
tenn.
Among those who have signed pro
contracts this year are Larry Buh-
Ter of Minnesota and Charles Brock
of Nebraska, who were assigned to
Green Bay; Waddy Young of Okla
homa, Brooklyn, and Mike Parry,
st. Mary's, Cleveland Rams.

Publicized Prep

PILL DE CORREVONT, most
- highly publicized prep football
star of last year, tasted his first de-
feat in the college game this spring
when his team lost 1918 in a regu-
lation game between two squads of
Northwestern university players.
In 1887 De Correvont led Chicago
Austin high school to city champion
ship. Ever since he decided to ma
circulate at Northwestern, midwest
fans have been watching him as a
possible threat in Western confer
ence competition.
Though the publicity brought Bill
nationwide fame, it might have been
better all around if it had been
avoided. Bill didn't ask to be glori-
fed as the high school football mar
vel of 1887. He didn't ask to be es-
tablished as a great star before he
has played one quarter in big-time
competition.
In his first varsity game he turned
in a better-than-average perform
ance. He gained ITO yards in 10 at
tempts, handicapped by three FUN
bles. He completed five of eight
passes for total of So yards, had
one intercepted and two incomplete.
He recovered one tumble and the
opposing eleven grabbed the other
two.
He is fast runner, cuts sharply,
and can pick his spots. His kicking
has never been out of the ordinary,
and he is only fair passer.
Much of his future success and
fame depend on the Northwestern
line. Even though the fan gives all
the credit to the ball carrier, a hard
charging, tough blocking line with a
couple of fast backield mates can
make a fair back into a great one.
