New Meat Production
Record Set In 1913
l2H Increase Reported Despite Wartime Demands,
Difficulties; Prospects for 1914 Held Encouraging

our Armed Forces, and to Lend
Lease requirements. The meat in
dustry is proud OF its part in sup
plying billions OF pounds of meat
Tor our Armed Forces, and for
those of our Allies, representing
about one-fourth of the production
in 1943.
1.-THE meat packing industry in
1913 supplied approximately GA per
cent more meat in the Armed Forces
than it did in the preceding year,
In the next twelve months to come
the Armed Forces are expected to
require approximately so per cent
more meat than they did in 1912
"Of the 25,6OO, 100000 pounds OF
meat expected in 1914, it is estimated
that about 8,500,000,000 pounds or
about one third, will be required for
the Armed Forces, Lend-Lease, and
other exports. The Armed Forces,
it IS estimated, at the close of this
year, will represent about 100000
persons. Approximately one pound
of meat of some kind is provided
each person daily.
Civilian Consumption
"Subtracting the amount al
located to the three agencies out
lined in the preceding paragraph,
the amount of meat remaining for
civilian consumption is 17,1O00 O0,-
900 pounds. This is slightly more
than the amount consumed this
year, or little more than 1873
pounds per capita, according to
institutes estimates.
1.-The outlook for livestock feed
supplies for 1914 shows some mod
crate improvement over that which
existed during the fall of this year.
This Is due to upward revisions in
estimated corn production in 1943.
Although supplies of high protein
concentrates for 1943-1944 are esti-
mated to be slightly larger than for
thu previous year, the supply per
animal unit will be substantially
less, due to the 10 per cent increase
in the number of animal units on
farms"
Events Summarized
The outstanding events Of the
livestock and meat situation Of the
year 1943, as summarized by Mr..
Foster, follow:
/. A production of all meats in
excess of "a billion pounds; the
highest on record and nearly half
again as large as the average pre-
war volume.
2. An average consumption per
capita, Notwithstanding rationing
and tremendous requirements of the
Armed Forces and for shipment to
our Allies, of about 1872 pounds;
approximately the same as the pre-
war average.
3. The meat packers supply "a
per cent more of federally inspected
meats to the Armed Forces this
year than ii did last year.
4. The resourcefulness of the
meat packing industry in coping
with the disturbing factors OF man
power shortages, scarcity of repair
parts for clearinghouse machinery,
lack of containers for distributing
meat products, mad other problems
which, even in peacetime, would
have proved difficult. Compliance
of the industry with various federal
orders and restrictions which in
cludde quota restrictions, maximum
price regulations on Wholesale cuts,
ceilings and floors on livestock. re-
tail price ceilings, set-aside orders
and consumer rationing taxed the
ingenuity of packing house man
agement.

Dorazio, Hart Ready
For Sharp Going in
Fight Tomorrow

Several rounds against the light
bag and shadow boxing were sched-
uled for both Gus Dorazio and Al
Hart today as they wind up training
for their l2-round heavyweight
match tomorrow night at Uline
Arena.
Sparring yesterday at Goldie
Ahearn's gym, Dorazio exhibited a
powerful left hook that forced Teddy
Wint to double up and hang on.
For some reason Dorazio is being
quoted as 7-5 or 8-5 favorite
possibly because he shaded Hart in
10-rounder at Uline's on Septem-
Der a. That was a split decision
and the voting Of the two Judges
and referee was 50 close that the
point totals were even.
In that fight Dorazio won the
early rounds and Hart came strongly
at the finish, hence the longer route
for tomorrow nights match is sup
posed to favor Hart.
Dorazio hasn't fought since the
Hart bout, in which he proved able
TO take Hart's best punches despite
being outweighed rs pounds and
had the better of the infghting.
After finishing training YESTERDAY
Gus weighed 1876 pounds as com.
pared with the 200 he carried
against Hart.
Hart, who had a long string OF
victories before losing to Dora zio
doesn't mind being underdog again
Losing to Dorazio took the pressure
of him. Il found l could stand ur
under Dorazio's best punches anc
finally that I could tag him" A

Anacostia al Eastern,

In Spirited Ti|ts
BY GEORGE HUBER,

A couple of neighborhood rival
ries flare in tomorrow's high school
football series ganes-Coolidge at
Central and Anacostia at Eastern.
All except Coolidge are out of the
running for this years title, and
OF previous showings the league
leading Colts are expected to add
their fifth straight victory.
Saturday afternoons spot game
At Central Stadium also will be one
Of those hot neiehborhood affairs
With Wilson and Western, both of
whom still have chance for the
championship, as opponents.
The Eastern -Anacostia tilt will be
rubber affair. They have met five
times, starting with a Scoreless tie
IN 1888. Eastern won the next two
and Anacostia the last two games.
Eastern Appears Stronger.
This year Eastern appears to have
the edge, with its team beginning
TO click as shown by last weeks
upset 1876 win over Wilson. The
shift OF Ed Nicholson from end to
fullback has proved happy change
with Eds blocking ability bic help.
Halfback Bob Gordon injured his
ankle in practice this week and
might not be able to start. in which
case Fireman Settle will get the call
Settle has scored three touchdowns
for the Ramblers. which makes him
top man at Eastern. but he's light.
weighing only l35 pounds. and can't
play regularly on defense. He's
very good for certain spots. how
ever, and his speed and shiftiness
always are a threat.
Eastern figures to have no push
over in the Indians, however. jim
Flahertys passing hasn't been ef-
fective except in that first game
against Central, largely because the
opposition has learned he's the big
threat and has devised defenses
against him Tom YahareS has been
breaking loose for some goodly
plunglne gains, however. and with
him and Flaherty combining the
Anacostia team always is a threat.
especially on a dry field.
Starting Time Changed.
Central constantly is experiment.
Ing with new line-ups and against
Coolidge tomorrow will send a team
composed largely of those players
who will return next season.
Starting time tomorrow, Incl
dentally, has been set up to 3:45.
Also at 3:45 will be the big game
here outside of the championship
competition with ST. Johns playing
