Badgers Play Ohio State.
Both the Big Ten ana Ivy
League have been surprising. IL
linois and Michigan State were
expected to make serious bids for
the Big Ten title. Both currently
are pulling up the rear, while
Wisconsin and Ohio State, two
of the unbeatens, go at it this
Saturday at Columbus. Out of
this game could emerge the Rose
Bowl team.
Wisconsin polished off once
ambitious Purdue. 20-6, and
Ohio State kept its record spot
less by defeating Iowa, 20-14.
Once-beaten Michigan plays
Minnesota for the Little Brown
jug at Ann Arbor in another
game that could have some bear
ing on the title.
In the Ivy League. Cornell was
the heavy favorite, but the Big
Red is just playing out the sched-
ule now. Instead, Yale, which
hasn't won the championship
since 1916, is in a favorable posi-
ton to come through. The Ellis
47-2l victory over Cornell sent
them into undisputed possession
of the lead. since Princeton
dropped a 21-20 decision to
Brown. ...
Southern Cal Men Get Bid.
No one seems capable of CATCH
ing UCLA in the Pacific Coast
Conference, but the Uclans can't
go back to the Rose Bowl, so
they're playing for national hon.
ors rather than a post-season
game. They smashed Stanford,
72-D, and now face Oregon State.
Actually, Southern California
probably viii get the bid if it
gets past California Saturday.
After that, the Trojans still have
games with UCLA, Stanford,
Washington and Oregon State.

The crazy-quilt college foot
ball season is approaching the
halfway point and coaches are
beginning to think in terms of
conference championships and
possible bowl bids. Some of the
teams that were buried far down
in the season ratings are
right in the thick of things.
Arkansas. for one, could write
a real rags-to-riches story if
the Razorbacks win the South
west Conference title. They
haven't taken it in 18 years, all
the while suffering humiliation
after humiliation from the big
boys like Texas, Baylor, Rice
& Co.
But their stunning 20-7 tri-
umph over Texas last Saturday
left them one of the 18 major
undefeated teams in the country.
What's more, Arkansas is in a
position to yin the crown and
go on to the Cotton Bowl as
host club. However, it's con-
ference where the unusual is
the usual. Bowden Wyatt's lads
still play Texas ASSM, Rice and
Southern Methodist, so they
could meet their downfall.
Tangle With Ole Miss.
Before the Razorbacks tackle
their conference foes. however,
they run into what may be their
biggest test of the year. They
play host this week to Mississippi,
which was ranked seventh in the
APPS national poll last week and
lost no ground when it crushed
Tulane, 34-7. Arkansas was
voted 18th place last week.
Other sections have furnished
their share of the surprises.

would emerge as the top team IN

Lung Cancer on Increase
State Health Dept. Reports

year-a decline of less than no
per cent.
Syphilis likewise had drop in
rate of about "a per cent; namely,
from GA per 100000 population to3
AZ. The decline was Slightly high
er in the City, being 81 per cent
against 26 per cent in the coun-
ties. In the City, however, the
syphilis mortality rate (6.7 per
100000 remains decidedly higher
than the county rate of 2.7. New
cases of syphilis dropped less than
the deaths; namely, from 1852 to
1855. In other words, for both
syphilis and tuberculosis the di-
sease is not vanishing quite as
rapidly as the decline in the death
rate might suggest.
Mortality from diseases Of ma
turity, most of which had previous
ly been increasing, also showed ap-
preciable decline: the diabetes NOR
tally dropped 16 per cent; kidney
diseases, 14.9; and cerebral hem
orrhage and thrombosis, 5.4. The
heart disease mortality showed a
smaller drop, namely, FL per cent.
Accident mortality as a whole
declined, but the motor vehirle ia
tally rate (21.2 per 100,OOO) rep
resented a drop of only SO per
cent whereas the rate for other
types of accident (30.6) was lower
than 1862 by 1853 per cent.
The mortality from these diseas-
es rose somewhat; namely, from
27.9 per 100000 to 28.6, an in
crease of 10.5 per cent. This rise
in mortality was limited to Balti-
more City where the rate rose a
fifth, whereas the county rate ac-
tually declined somewhat. The COL
ored mortality from influenza and
pneumonia in the State 1854 per

Contour Farming Values Are
Stressed by COnservatiOnists

Maryland farmers not now prac-
ticing conservation can well afford
to make New ears resolution to
adopt conservation practices on
the basis of soil and water conserv-
ton research, according to the
Committe for Conservation Now.
Contour farming, strip cropping
drainage, crop rotations and other
such practices have proved their
value in increasing yields by hold
ing soil and water. Comparisons
have been made at numerous
experiment stations.
The value of contour cultivation
and strip cropping has been de-
monstrated in tests which showed
up to four times as much water
loss and up to Is times as much
soil loss from fields with up and
down hill farming as from fields
where the conservation practices
we're applied.
Tests also show that crop yields
decline in direct proportion to de-
ereases in depth of top soil, because
erosion removes the best soil.
Soil washed by erosion has been
shown to contain Az times as much
organic matter, 5 times as much
nitrogen, 81 times as much phos-
phofus and IA times as much
potash as the original surface soil.

Cancer of the lung has become
major medical problem of the
people of Maryland, according to
report released this week by the
State Department of Health.
The State agency pointed out
that the mortality from respiratory
cancer in 1852 was exactly twice
the rate of ten years earlier"
While complete figures of 1868 are
not available, the Department of
Health said provisional data for the
counties of the State Suggest that
1853 mortality will not be less than
that of 1852" The report pointed
out that the doubled death rate
from cancer of the lung in 1852
was 1874 per 100000 population.
At the same time, State health
doctors reported that the lung can
GER death rate in the State is now
on par with tuberculosis and said
the mortality rate for males is ov-
er six times the female rate. The
male mortality rate per 100000
was 26.7 in 1882 compared with
4.3 per 100000 females, the state
said.
Outstanding in the report was
drop in tuberculosis mortality,
all forms, from 27.0 per 100000
population in 1852 to about IT'S in
the year just closed. This repre-
sents IS per cent decline and
continues the heavy decline in tu-
berculosis mortality seen during
recent years. Ten years ago, for
example, in 1913, the mortality
from this disease was equivalent to
60.3 per 100000 populaticn-con-
siderably more than three times
the current rate.
In contrast to the mortality de-
cline, new cases of tuberculosis re-
ported during the year dropped on
