SEATTLE, Nov. n.-After a
painstaking pursuit through a maze
OF digits and decimals, the Amerl-
can Football Statistical Bureau dis
closed today that:
I. intercollegiate football among
the majors" is showing more points
scored per team per game than
during the last decade.
2. The scoring increase results
from an increased forward pass
completion percentage rather than
from the minute increase in total
offensive yardage, most OF which is
attributable to rushing rather than
passing.
The bureau based it's conclusions
on perusal of figures on Ito games
involving major teams up to No
vember l.
Increase of Point a Game.
It found that the average team
per game is scoring 1873 points,
compared to 1873 for last year, which
In itself was a high mark for a
decade. Thus for every 100 games
played, 100 more points have been
scored than was the case IN 194O.
Or put it this way-both teams
combined in the average 1941 game
will compile 276 points, compared
to 266 last year.
Total offense-gains rushing and
passing-only shows about a yard
Increase per team, most of it found
In the rushing column. The COM
posite yardstick discloses that few
er passes being thrown and fewer
yards are being gained IN the air.
But-the forward pass completion
percentage has climbed to a modern
high of 1897, and this leads the bu-
reau to it's belief that the STEADY
and constant perfection of the use
Of the forward pass is responsible
for the scoring increase"
The pass completion percentage
has increased each year since the
bureau started keeping records IN
1887, when the figure was 1853. Last
year 1t was 1856.
On the foot side of football, th'
percentage of successful conversion
attempth scared to new high O.
.635. compared to 607 last year, viii

Losing Fordhanl

For Sugar Bowl

Outstanding Record
To Be Considered
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 11.-A note
of cheer for Fordham football fol-
lowers, who have (Dr had) hopes of
celebrating New Year Eve in New
Orleans, was sounded today right
from Sugar Bowl headquarters.
Asked what effect Fordham's loss
to Pittsburgh Saturday would have
on Sugar Bowl plans. President A. N
Goldberg of the New Orleans Mid
winter Sports Association declared:
Every team with an outstanding
record has a chance to be invited to
the Sugar Bowl. We choose teams
only on the strength of their records.
Naturally, as the season goes along
more and more teams are defeated"
Policy Widens Field.
Until that amazing Pittsburgh az
fair Fordham generally was con-
sidered almost certain to be on the
Sugar Bowl field January l.
Goldberg said he had visited au-
thorities of Fordham and Temple
on recent trips to New York, but
added:
TT just amounted to a personal
visit. I would have been foolish If
hadn't seen them.
1--WE are not committed to any
team in the country and never have
been"
Duke Seen Rose Bowl Bound.
Fordham's loss and Texas tie by
Baylor leave Texas A. and NJ, Duke
and Duquesne as the only major
clubs with perfect records-except
Minnesota which will not play in
bowl games.
The Aggies must play Texas and
Duquesne meets Mississippi States
Toughies this week. Duke, the 10
cal populace believes. is practically
on the train to Pasadena and the
Rose Bowl.
So maybe there won't be anybody
with a perfect record available by
the end of the month. This will
bring back into the picture such
Southeastern Conference teams as
once-tied Mississippi State and once
beaten Alabama, and Missouri from
the Middlewest-the only section
never yet represented in the Sugar
Bowl.

BY BILL BONI,

NEW YORK Nov. 11.-Fordham's
defeat by Pittsburgh and the Tt
tie TO which Texas was held by
Baylor had their aftermaths today
in the fifth of the weekly football
ranking polls conducted by the As
sociated Press
The Rams first loss Of the season
dropped them right out Of the first
10; Texas, though still undefeated,
was showed down to second place,
and a full tide of favor swept the
Golden Gophers of Minnesota back
into the No. position which was
awarded them at the beginning OF
the campaign.
Ballots were received this week !
from 122 football experts all over |
the country, and SO of them made !
Minnesota their first choice. Thus
the Gophers, winners Of Is straight
games, were returned TO the spot
they held for the first two weeks
of the season and shared with Tex
AS two weeks ago. With improving,
but three-timeS-beaten Iowa and
high-scoring but four-times-beaten
Wisconsin left on the schedule, Min
nesota now appears a good bet to
finish its second straight season
without defeat and also repeat as
No. ! team in the final national
ranking.
Gopher Margin Seasons Best.
With such a strong proportion Of
first-place votes. the Gophers had
the most decisive margin of any
poll this fall Getting 10 points for
first place. nine for second and so
on, they drew 1887 points, to only
881 for Texas, still first pick Of
four experts.
Besides, Minnesota, only three 9TH
er major elevens are undefeated and
united. and all of them made the
first 10. Duke. with II first place
votes and 844 points, got third place:
fourth went 10 Texas A and M, with
and 1874. and Duquesne. which ends
its season Saturday against unde-
feated, once-tied Mississippi State,
broke into the select group for the
first time at 10th place.
Notre Dame, unbeaten, but tied by
Army; Stanford, West Coast stand
out, which recovered handsomely
from its single loss to Oregon State:
Michigan, beaten only by Minnesota:
Northwestern, nosed out both by the
Gophers and Michigan, and Ala
bama, its record marred only by an
early season loss to Mississippi State,
won the other berths.
Irish, Stanford Advance.
The Irish. impressive in handing
Navy its initial defeat. were moved
up from seventh to fifth; Stanford.
with two games to go for another
Rose Bowl trip, from ninth to sixth:
Michigan from eighth to seventh,
| Northwestern from tenth to eighth
and Alabama from thirteenth to
ninth.
Standout game Of the week will
send Notre Dame and its star sopllo-
more. Angelo Bertelli, who has
passed for more than 700 yards,
against Northwestern and its more
versatile soph ace, Otto Graham.
Texas will play Texas Christian,
Duke will meet North Carolina,
Texas A. and M. will tackle Rice.
Stanford will meet Washington
State. Michigan shouldn't have it too
tough against Columbia and Ala
bama will go against Georgia Tech.

 MILK Is Not Fattening
 The extent to which a food Is "fattening" depends upon the num- Der of calories 1t contains in an ordinary serving, Milk contains relatively few calories in proportion to the many valuable minerals and yitamins in which 1t abounds. One cup of mllk furnishes about as many calories as the same amount of pine. apple or grape juice.
 How to be healthy though diet- ing" is Q problem confronting many people today. The loss of vitality and general lowered resistance which too often are the result of reduce ing diet, can be prevented If care is taken that the days meals are adequate in proteins, minerals and vitanins. Milk, our most nearly per. feet food, helps prevent deficiencies of these food clements.
 An old misunderstanding about milk is that 1t is @ food for children only, and that as soon as a person is grown up" he no longer has any need for 1t. Nothing could be far- ther from the truth. Milk is the most important food in the diets of young and old; no one ever out grows the need for milk.

Eggs Fit Into Any Meal
BY DOROTHY GREI0

Lives there the woman who hasn't at one time or another said, With eggs in the house, I can always put a meal together" And that is cer- tinly the case. Eggs fit into any meal-brealEfast, lunch, dinner or supper. Eggs are highly nutritious and without waste. Everybody likes egs, and eggs like everybody. Right now with Mrs. Hen on mass production basis, it's the perfect time to serve eggs even more frequently, and to use them freely in cooking.
 Recently evolved e new way of serving eggs for lunch or supper that is really delicious. It's fun to serve, too, because 1t looks like eggs in @ nest. This is the way 1t goes and you'll like it's delicious cheese sauce:
 Creamed Whole Eggs
 5 or 6 hard-cooked eggs
 To prepare eggs:-Cook the eggs for l2 minutes in gently boiling water. Pour cold water over eggs and remove shells immediately and put whole peeled eggs into warm water so as to keep warm before putting into the sauce.
 Cheese Sauce
 can condensed cream of rnush.
 room soup Ia cup milk
 2 ounces mild cheese
 Empty the cream of mushroom soup into a saucepan and stir well, then add milk and finely sliced or grated cheese. Heat until the cheese is melted. Pour the cheese sauce over the hot hard-cooked eggs. Serve in a spinach ring--or Q rice ring, If you prefer.
 And then, of course, there is onle- let. We all have our favorite way of serving 1t. Here's mine--all fixed up with Q zippy sauce and At to set before king:
 The omelet
 Ia teaspoon salt
 Pinch of pepper
 3 tablespoons water
 ? tablespoons butter.
 4SGuv tdAS GBB0 uAtVAA WVk hAACAs then add seasonings and water and mix again. Melt the butter in @ pan and place over a moderate flame. Pour eggs in pan and as the omelet cooks, lift the edges and tip the pan so that the uncooked egg flows under tho cooked portion of the omelet. When bottom Is Drowned, put three tablespoons of Ham and Tomato Sauce in the omelet and fold over or roll. Serve ofnelet on @ platter or plate and put more sauce over or around 1t. Serves 3-4.
 Ham and Tomato Sauce
 2 tablespoons cooking oil
 1 clove garlic
 medium size onion chopped
 3-4 cup boiled ham or prepared
 ham loaf
 1 can condensed tomato soup
 l teaspoon sugar Cook the very finely sliced garlic and chopped onion in the cooking oil, until soft, about 10 minutes. Then add ham cut in narrow strips about 3-4 inch long, cover and cook slowly for 10 more minutes. Add the tomato soup and sugar and COOK until fiavors are well blended.

Mistaken Ideas About MIX

Although milk is one of our most common foods, many people have mistaken ideas about 1t. Some of these milk superstitions may be harmful because they prevent people from drinking the amount of milk they need foi health and well-being. Such food fads and fancies too often take the place of facts, in spite of the wealth of scientific Knowledge about foods that is avail- able today.
 Milk can be taken with any other food, without harmful effects, des- pite the many old-wives' s'-tales about such combinations. As a matter Of fact, there is no evidence that any combination of foods are unsafe, providing the foods themselves are good.
 Many people who would not hesi- tate to eat creamed fish dishes are mortified by the idea of drinking milk at the same meal with fish This is just one of the outworrl ideas that continue to thrive long after they have been proved false.
 Combinations of milk with acid fruits are entirely desirable, contrary to the opinion of many inisinformed individuals. True, the acid curdles

2. Pin bone sirloln is the smallest of the sirloin steaks. The pin bone tpoint of hip bone) which it contains may be remOy- cd and ground meat from the flank end is inserted in the cavity.
 Sirloin steaks take their names from the shape of the bones. They are the wedge-bone, roundibone double-bone and the pin-bone sir ioin. '
 The largest of the sirloin steaks is that which contains the wedge- shaped bone and part of the back bone. This steak, cut thick, is a good choice for the larger family or for a company meal. It should be broiled according to the proper method, slowly enough 50 that when the surface is well Drowned, the steak is cooked half way through.
 T'hs wedge-shaped bone has changed to a round bone in the next steak to be cut from the loin section. It Is somewhat smaller, and more of the muscles are cut against the grain. Next will come the double bone sirloin, in which two bones lie adjacent to each other.
 Pin-bone Next to Porterhouse
 The smallest of the sirloin steaks ls the pin-bone sirloin, which con- tains the forward end of the hip bone. This steak lies next to the porterhouse. It is an economy buy and an especially good choice for the mnall family. Although 1t con- tains e rather large section of bone, 1t has also a good proportion of choice tenderloin. A very good way of using this steak is to have the pin-bone removed and to grind the hank end and fill in the cavity.
 All May Be Br0iled
 All of the sirloin steaks can be broiled or panbroiled with good success. The present-day methods of broiling, which do not call for soaring and which use a lower tem- perature have greatly simplified the process and have made the art Of broiling a steak to perfection one which nay homemaker can easily acquire.
 Steaks broiled in this way show less shrinkage and there IS no char ring of fatt or bone. Another good point is that there is no need to watch the steak in order to turn II often, as the older methods re- quired.
 Broiled SirlOln Steak
 Have steak cut thick, at least l inch. Place 1t on broiler rack so that there is a distance of about three inches between the source oi the heat and the surface of the steak. When the steak is nicely browned on one side, 1t will be about half done. Season with salt and pepper, turn and finish cooking on the second side. When that is done season and serve the steak imme- diately. Steaks cut inch thick re- ouire twenty to twenty-five minutes for broiling.
 Carving sirloin Steaks
 Carving a sirloin steak is essen- kiaiiy the same as carving porter. house steak. The bone IS removed by cutting closely around 1t with the ooint of the knife. The steak is then sut into slices about inch in width ln carving any steak, the width oi ihe siice is determined by the num- Ae rto be served.
