vice and cooperation of representatives of
Eastern universities. He said that this
was the ultimatum of his college, and that
in case the committee refused to invite
Eastern athletes to take part in the confer
ence he would withdraw. The proposition
was promptly vetoed by the other delegates,
and Delegate Elson withdrew.
Messrs. Stagg and Everett proceeded with
the meeting and talked informally of the
prospects of the game for next fall and OF
the probable changes that would be ac-
ceptabe to the teams in the league. Pro-
fessor Stage announced that at least three
weeks would be occupied in a proper con-
sideration of the alterations in rules that
have already been proposed as being inn
perative for the future Of football in the
west. Delegate Elson said that the Uni
versity of Wisconsin would not withdraw
from the league until after the result of
the committees considerations had become
known and that such action would not be
taken unless the changes in the rules were
so radical that contests between teams Of
the East and of the West would be made
impossible. The colleges composing the
league are the universities of Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois, Chicago, Michigan,
Northwestern and Purdue.

MILEAGE TICKET ROW.
The Vanderbilt Lines Not I'm Line with
other Central Railways.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Unless a meeting of
the Central Passenger Committee lines is
called in the near future to settle the fight
over the interchangeable mileage ticket
matter it is altogether likely there will be
more than one kind of interchangeable
mileage ticket in use in the territory of the
committee. 1t is announced fatty by the
Michigan Central and the Lake Shore that
they will not do business with the present
form of ticket, and unless it Is made good
for transportation when presented on trains
they will get up ticket Of their own. At
any rate, they are going to accept the tick
cts when offered by passengers on their
trains. 1t is likely that a meeting of the
committee will be called in the near future
to consider the situation and make some
changes in the present manner of handling
the interchangeable mileage. The Wander
bilt lines have about one-third of the roads
in the committee with them In their fight
against the present ticket.

CONSIDERS 1T AN HONOR.
Hon. j. w. LOvett Proud of His Rela-
+tiOnship with "Kid" Mccoy.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 1S-"Kid' Nc
Coy, who won the fight with Creedon last
night, is a near blood relative of Hon. J.
w. Lovett, of this city. Mr.. Lovett took
considerable interest in the fight and to-
night said: However much 1 may dislike
his profession, Mccoy seems to be a gentle
manly sort of fellow and I have no hest
taton in admitting that he is a relative of
mine His parents and grandparents are
all very nice people and | am proud to
claim their relationship. Mccoy always was
a freak of the family. / am glad he has
made such a success in his line, and l sin
cerely hope that he will have the good sense
to keep himself straight. If a man is a
fighter he should be a good one, and good
man at the same time. We all hail from
GreenSburg, and the relationship is near"
Mr.. Lovett is by no means sport ex-
cept when it comes to politics, and, as many
know from hearing him whooping up things
in campaigns, he is something of fighter
himself.
