Big Ten Loses
In War Against
Outside Foes
BY ROBERT McSHANE

nv HEN the Big Ten football con-
w ference closed it's books this
year, ending the most jumbled sea-
son in recent history, the ledger
showed the loss of IL out-of-confer-
ence games as balanced against II
wins and three tie games.
Four of those II non-conference
victories were made at the expense
of Oberlin, Wabash, Arizona and
South Dakota. Which means that in
major nom conference games the
Big Ten was especially disappoint-
ing.
Ohio State holds the Western con-
ference championship, for which the
school is largely indebted to Michi-
gan and Northwestern. Iowa, had
it defeated instead of tying North
western, would have shared the
championship with Ohio State. Mich
igan alone was able to defeat Iowa.
During a generally unhappy sea-
son, Iowa was the only one of the
10 major midwestern teams-in-

land Indians, who went on record
recently as one of the first big
league shippers to predict, with res
ervations, the collapse of the New
York Yankees in 1910.
Wits representations are built
around Bill Dickey, Yank catcher.
AS Dickey goes, according to Witt,
SO go the Yankees. He states that
the backstop is both the strength
and weakness of the worlds cham
pions. Without him, the Yanks
would founder. With all due respect
to Joe DiMaggio, the Indian man.
ager believes that Bill is the only
indispensable man on the team.
Therefore, an injury to Dickey will
spell curtains for the champs.
The teams that might do the job?
Witt picks his Indians as one of the
teams, and selected the Boston Red
Sox as the other possibility.
The only fly in the ointment is the
fact that Dickey probably will be
functioning as perfectly as ever
next year.

Bear this in mind always. Perfect
smooth, even, well-balanced ap-
proach to the foul line.
A four or five step approach is
recommended because it represents
an approach in which the body, with
the aid of correct timing, throws the
ball rather than the arm alone as
in three step delivery. The four
or five step delivery can be de-
scribed as fast walk, slow run or
a glide to the foul line. These de-
Iiveries result in a straight slide on
the last step, with the ball leaving
the hand simultaneously. Of the
two, the four step is recomme ended
for beginners.
Approach the foul line in straight
line, avoiding zig-zag pathway.
In your approach, keep the knees
slightly bent and the body relaxed
at all times. Do not allow your
back swing to get too high as it
tends to throw you off balance. Try
to make your steps and ball swing
deliberate, thus bringing the bowl
ing hand and the left foot to the
foul line at the same time in a free.

For Brother or Sweetheart:
If the young man is particularly

expensive, elaborate gift might ex-

might therefore be wise to stick to

Proper choice of gifts requires

nice to give a kitchen-chained moth

like a necklace or bracelet, or a

Yule Table Decorations
Mespensively Prepared;
Add Cay Note to Feast

Company coming for Christmas
dinner? Or just the family? In any
event you'll want a Christmasy look
ing table and it can be accomplished
easily and inexpensively. Here are
three suggestions:
A large bowl, preferably of wood
and filled with shining fruits "a
bunch of grapes or top) gives a
festive air. You can lay a wreath
of holly about the bowl and use tall,
slender candles grouped about it.
Lace runners or doilies that reveal
the cleaning table top complete this
informal picture.
For an all-white table, use white
table cloth for your background and
a miniature Christmas tree in the
center. For ends of the table, white
tapers in candelabra are excellent,
and around their bases use simulat-
ed snow, cotton sprinkled with tin
sci.
Flowers, while more expensive,
make beautiful table An arrange
ment of pompon chrysanthemums
and red roses in low bowl, bedded
by sprays of long-needle pine and
frosted with cones is particularly
attractive. A bit of holly gives it
a definite Christmas air, The en-
tire arrangement needs few more
than a dozen flowers. Such an ar
rangement should be kept low so
it will not hide the folks across the
table. For long table, make the
arrangement long; for round table,
make it round.

Removing fat is simple process.
First wipe the bird dry, inside and
out. Place in covered rooster in
a 425-degree oven for 30 minutes to
start warming. Remove from oven
and cool. Remove fat. Repeat this
process twice.
Then stuff the goose, close the
opening of the body cavity and tie
the legs together. Weigh the bird,
allowing 20 to Is minutes to the
pound for roasting in a 325-degree
oven. Roast with breast side down.
You don't have to haste the bird
as it roasts, but orange juice with
grated rind may be used if desired.

Goose Is Favorite
For Yuletide Feast
And Easily Fixed

Goose, which is the traditional

handled correctly. Not until recent
years has goose been properly ap-
preciated, largely because it hasn't
been prepared properly.
Geese vary in weight from 8 to IL
pounds or more. Watch for soft feet
and a pliable bill (if you dress your
own bird) as an indication of proper
age for cooking.
An excellent dressing is the apple
