MAROON GAMES FOR 1910

- Stagg Fixes up the List of Football Dates and Honors Oid. " Friends.

Coach A. Alonzo Stagg has honored his old gridiron® friends by placing them on his 1910 football schedule to the exclusion of the numerous outsiders that tried to get Maroor contests. The list of games follows: Oct. S—lndiana at Marshall fleld. QOct. 15—Illinois at Urbana. Oct. 22—Northwestern at Marshall field.

Oct. 29—Minnesota at - Marshall field. :

Nov. b—Purdue at Marshall field Nov. 12—Cornell at Marshal! field

Nov: 19—Wisconsin ‘at Madison. .- The 1910 Maroon schedule is almost a duplicate of last season's program. The same schools will appear against the Midway warriors in practically the same order, the chief difference being *that the Maroons will have geven straight games on successive Saturdays ‘without the usual holiday hetween two big battles.

Coach Stagg declared his schedule was tentative, but there is no chance of any change, it s believed at the Midway. The only tentative feature is that the board of control is withholding its approval until it has a chance to act on the new football rules, and Coach Stagg is certain that the 1910 rule book will receive the sanction of the faculty and that the dutes will become official.

Seeks to Scve Potatoes

Germany Recognizes its Great Financial Loss in the Decay of the ; Harvested Crop.

Consul Thomas H. Norton of Chemnitz tells of the importance of the potato in the life of Germany: “The potato occupies a relatively more important position in Ggrmany than in other European countries. It is not only employed largely for food for both man and beast, but also for conversion into starch and alcohol. The 1908 crop was estimated at 46,500.000 metric tons (51,256,950 short tons), 13,000,000 tons being used for human focod and 19,000,000 tans for feeding domertic animals. Starch factories utilized 1,500,000 tons, distilleries 2,500,000 tons, while 5,500,000 tons were required for seed. L e “There remained 5,000,000 tons, lost by decay, freezing and the like. German -economists have recognized the extent of this national loss, of "about $2B 500,000 in value, especially be-
