Dec. 2. Eighty-six persons were killed and 41 injured during the hunting season which closed yesterday in llfteen states. The figures were compiled by the Chicago Tribune, which compares them with 59 dead and 66 injured for last, year and 111 dead and 162 wounded for 1914. Carelessness on the part of the hunters accounted for many of the ac cidents. Many of the victims were mistaken for deer. Michigan leads in the number of dead with 22: Illinois is second with 13. and Minnesota third with 12. New York had 11 fatal acci dents. Wisconsin had only 6, the. small number being attributed directly to the "buck" law in force last year, which prohibited "shooting at sounds." The following shows the deaths by states: California, 2; Colorado, 2: Illi nois, 13; Indiana, 3; lowa. 4; Maine. 1: Michigan. 22; Minnesota, 12; Mis souri, 2; New Hampshire, 1; New Jersey, 4; New York, 11; North Da kota, 2; South Dakota, 1; Wisconsin, 6. Big Nine Football For Next Season to Be Fast Chicago. 111., Dec. 2.—Football dates for the 1917 season of the "Big Nine" will be scheduled at a meeting here to day of the coaches and athletic repre sentatives of the western conference universities. There is much speculation as to what Ohio State, winner of the 1916 championship, and Northwestern, run ner-up. will ask in the way of dates for next season. Neither was seriously regarded by the schedule makers last season. Ohio State did not meet Chi cago or Minnesota, while Northwest ern hail no game with either Wiscon sin or Minnesota. Northwestern, however, will ask srames with Ohio State. Wisconsin, Chicago, Purdue. Indiana and lowa. It is regarded as probable that Ohio State will be Riven a same with Chicago and that Northwestern will probably meet Wisconsin, but not Minnesota. In addition to the football schedule the baseball, track and basketball pro grams for the 1917 season will be ar ranged.

ARMY-NAVY GAME DATE New York, Dec. 2.-—-The Army-Navy football game will be staged at the Polo Grounds next season on Saturday, November 24, according to present plans, Last year, when the game was the subject of much controversy be tween Army and Navy officials, it was suggested that thereafter the service teams play in New York and Phila delphia in alternate years. According to this arrangement, the Navy would next season choose Franklin Field. It is understood, however, that the Navy now is in favor of playing here next year on account of the increased seat ing capacity and excellent arrange ments at the Polo Grounds.
