Chicago, ILL.,, Nov 29.-The members of
the big Nine" conference in session
this morning were as quiet as Quakers.
There wasn't even the suggestion of a
storm or a split such as had been rashly
predicted between Wisconsin and Mime
sofa.
H. ]. Barton, of Illinois, was chairman,
and F. S. Jones, Of Minnesota, secretary.
All of the universities were represented.
Professor Waldo. Of Purdue, the arbi-
traitor, reported on three colleagues Al
legheny, he declared, was a college un-
der the conference rules; Dixon and
Carlisle were not The Carlisle decision
was rendered in connection with Nebras-
kas protest of Rogers, of Minnesota.
The most important work of the morn
ing was a decision to interpret the four
year rule as applying to baseball, football
and track athletics combined. The re-
ports of the 1. C. c. A. were to be taken
up this afternoon and evening.
There is much to do and friction is not
impossible. Wisconsin is said here to
have fat yellow envelope full of evi-
dence against Minnesota football players,
presumably Dobie, chiefly for profession
alism. If it is opened it is possible that
Minnesota may open something relating
to Wisconsin players, and the sympath1es
of the big Nine" members generally are
understood to be with Minnesota.
That Wisconsin and Minnesota will not
play next year is hardly likely. DR.. Will
liams and Manager Fitzpatrick, of Wis
consin, har talk to-day, after which Dr..
Williams said that all talk of rupture be-
tween the two institutions was without
ground. From this it may be assumed
that the gopher badger game will be the
big football event in Minneapolis next
fall. Minnesota will also play Iowa, and
it will not be surprising if Minnesota and
Chicago meet, in view of the warm
friendship between Williams and Stagg
Mueller and SchreIber Cases.
1t is certain that the Mueller and
Schneider cases will come up Wisconsin
is hoping for Schreiber's reinstatement.
1t can hardly be obtained without Muel-
ler's reinstatement. One of the strong
forces against both is Stagg of Chicago,
who is expected to introduce an iron
clad rule against any participation by COL
| lege athletes in summer vacation sports.
He will meet opposition. Purdue and
| Indiana especially are said to favor less
stringent rules. They are said to regard
some of the big institutions as trying to
freeze them out. So a contest may be
| looked for.
There is strong sentiment in some
quarters against allowing ex- Carlisle men
to play except under rule recognizing
Carlisle, in athletics at least, as a COL
lege. This is yet to come up.
A Wisconsin Michigan Game.
| Wisconsin is trying to arrange a game
with Michigan for next year and will
doubtless succeed as Michigan seems will
ing. The fight Of Michigan against Chi
cago and Staffff is still on. Despite
Stages criticism of the two institutions
for playing in Chicago yesterday, Michi-
gan and Iowa have arranged to meet in
Chicago next Thanksgiving day.
