Rules-Othcr Sports Gossip,
On the ground that the conference
eligibility rules are not observed In ell
branches OF sport at the University OF
Nebraska, Drake University of Des
Moines, and the Iowa State College at
Ames, the conference committee at It's
meeting Thursday In Chicago, rejected
the entries from those institutions to
8. The entries from Notre Dame, the
University Of Missouri, and North
western college at Naperville were ac-
cepted, the athletic management OF
those schools having certified that the
conference rules are observed. Only
twelve colleges will be represented at
the meet, N,otre Dame, Missouri, and
Northwestern, college being the only
institutions outside of the big Nine"
that will have men In the, events. The
Ames entries were rejected on proof
that the conference rules are not OBJ
served in base ball at that college,
s.Yank. Brown, Ames' star pitcher,
having played professional ball last
summer with the Omaha Western
League team, Drake was excluded on
the ground that altho the rules of the
larger organization are observed In the
college, they are not applied In the
preparatory school. The eligibility
rules at Nebraska, altho claimed to be
equally as strict as those In force in
conference colleges. differ from the lat
ter in several particulars.
Boone has had enough of flirting
with horse race game, and during the
past week has retired from the Cedar
Valley Circuit, the largest of the Iowa
combinations of cities interested In
harness meets. Sac City's acceptance
OF Boone's dates quickly filled the gap
In the circuit. Sac City not only came
IN but she came in with Jump by
scheduling two class races for $500
purses, and two Tor three-year- Odds at
$500 each. Those who followed the
circuit last season will remember the
difficulty some of the winners had In
collecting from the Boone association.
It Is still snid, not all the prize money
was ever paid.

into a first class fighter. Gotch is go
ing to PUT himself under McCoy's care
this sumner and next fall viii make
a bold bid in the pugilistic field. Said
GOtch: "Jeffries has no right to turn
the championship over to Fitzsimmons,
as 1t was reported he will do. Fitz-
simmons Is one of the best men that
ever craw,ed thru the ropes, but he is
getting along In years. If he should
win the title age will soon force him
into retirement"
