SATURDAY EVENING,
Death Tolls in Many States
During Hunting Season
Chicago. 111.. 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.

Chicago, 111., Dec. 2. President
Thomas A. Chivington, of the Ameri
can Association, has issued a call for
the annual meeting of the association,
to be held in Indianapolis December S.

the club owners is the election of a
president. There is reported to be op
position to tlie re-election of Mr. Chiv
ington, and, although he said he would
be a candidate to succeed himself, he
would not. fight for the office. Norris
lu. ("Tip") O'Neil, former president of
the Western League, and Thomas
Hickey, of St. Paul, have been sug
gested aR probable candidates for the
presidency. Hickey was the first presi
dent of the association.

the American Association, came here

CHINESE ATHLETE

Pennsylvania Prep Student
Makes Quarterback on the
Freshmen Eleven
PAO-SHUN KWAN
Troy, N. Y., Dec. I.—Chinese ath
letes are as rare as dodo birds, but
thanks to his days at Mcrcersburg
Academy, Pao-Shun Kwan, formerly
of Shanghai, won his place as quarter
back on the freshmen eleven of Rens
selaer Poly.
He is fast on his feet, uses his head,
and his "celestial smile" always looms
up somewhere in the thick of the
scrap.
Whether he Us possible varsity ma
terial remains to bo seen, but it is safe
to say he will be given a chance to
show himself next Fall.
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. It is likely
that the two service elevens will decide
to play here every year.
