Columbia has set her foot down on foot
ball and other colleges have declared
that II radical changes are not made they
won't play any more. Some have declared
for such strong limitations and re-
strictions in intercollegiate affairs as
10 make them prohibitive. The old
game has received such knocks as
never game received before, but
the leading schools are still strongly
for the game and are simply willing to
submit to such changes as will keep down
the public clamor. II the California coll
leges were TO withdraw and make their
own rules to govern the game II would
he a great injury all around. because It
would make an interchange of games i'm
possible. This is one great country and
rules for sport should be the same in all
sections, just the same as laws for con-
duct. Rules can be so adjusted so that
the great game of foot ball will maintain
it's spectacular features and still come
within the hounds set by some Of the
strenuous college presidents. 1t looks to
the outsider that college that does not
look after its athletics will not stand well
with its students. An instance Of this was
had several years ago in Kansas. Baker
university had good foot ball coaches and
In 1898 had the champion foot ball team
Of the whole west, with the consequence
that students fiocked into the school in
such numbers that It taxed the capacity
of the buildings. Baker university is a
Methodist college, and when, at the meet
ing of the conference which controlled the

Yale considers that the task of molding
an eight and a four TO meet Harvard is
an unusually severe one. Heretofore the
class oarsmen have been disbanded until
spring after the fall regatta early in Oc-
tober. This time the 1909 Fights have rowed
long after the fall regatta and are much
further advanced than the usual fresh
man eight at the beginning of winter. Fall
rowing at Yale began with the preparation
of class crews for the regatta and no var
sity squad was organized until after the
regatta. This instead OF being composed
Of one or two Fights, was made up of four
and frequent races were held during the
fall. These four crews were named "Y, "
"A" IL" and e." and they were about
equally matched. The varsity oarsmen
were divided among the four eights. The
"Y" crew was stroked by Harris, a sub
stitute Of the former varsity four, and

The status of the Leland Stanford uni
versity crews has been fixed after a hot
controversy lasting for nearly a month
The athletic committee has decided to
give the varsity emblem to members Of
all future varsity crews and to recon-
mend that the full support of the sport
be undertaken by the student body. Three
plans of action were outlined by various
members Of the committee. The first was
to strike boating from the intercollegiate
agreement; the second, TO take 1t over and
grant the varsity emblem to next seasons
crew on condition that the crew defeated
California, and the third, to grant the en-
Olem Internationally. The last method
was adopted. A professional coach will
be secured and boating undertaken in ear
nest.

Practice for every crew candidate was
begun last week under Coach Goodwin at
Columbia Twelve machines have been
placed on the gymnasium floors where
general coaching will be done. Four
machines have been placed in the foot ball
locker room where individual coaching will
be given. At present about fifty Candidates
have enrolled but of this number few are
trying for the varsity crew. Several impor-
tant questions have recently come up in the
meetings of the directors of the Rowing
club. The present launch is in a bad state
of repairs, and to place it in a first class
condition will require a large expenditure.
This being the case the directors are con-
sidering the purchase of a motor boat for
use in coaching. Several boats are under
consideration, and it is hoped that in a
short time a decision will be reached.
There is an annual expenditure for repairs,
wages, ETC.. of about 5000 on the present
launch and It is thought there will be
large saving of expense IL a motor bat is
secured. The captain of the crew has been
appointed by the directors the representa-
tive of the Rowing club on the athletic
council in order to give him a legal status
In that organization The race with An
napolis will be held again this year on May
q. The race with the Yale freshmen will
probably be held as usual in May.

The University of Minnesota gridiron au-
thorities are trying to arrange a game
with the New Hampshire college for next
season. Minnesota has taken this step as
a result of its inability to get a schedule
on which the big Nine" Of the west were
all represented. Heretofore it has filled
up all its dates with small western col
leges and high school, most OF which teams
succumbed very easily to the heavy and
well trained attack of the Minnesota backs.
In one game two high schools played
teams, each lining up against the Mime
sotans for one half, the college eleven
winning the victory by score of II to o.
Minnesota has not met any of the bigger
colleges since 1903, when it played the Uni
versity of Michigan. Now Minnesota
hopes to arrange games with any one Of
the Big Nine, the members or which, be-
sides Minnesota. are Michigan, Chicago,
Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Northwestern,
Nebraska and Indiana. One eastern game
will be placed on the schedule and Dart
mouth has been chosen as the opponent
The Hanover eleven, having defeated
Princeton during the last season by a
score of 6 to 0, are resting on their laurels
and will not play the Tigers again. This
leaves an open date on the Dartmouth
schedule and Minnesota hopes to fill it,
The game is likely TO be held on neutral
ground, probably New York. for financial
reasons.

Omaha bowlers are anxious to see what
the local cracks will be able to do against
the champion Gunthers of Chicago. This
team comes to the city with an enviable
record to back it up, having been beaten
but once in years. and that was a sort of
surprise which swooped down upon them
some time ago. Three Omaha teams will
meet the Gunthers, the first game to be
played this afternoon at 2:S0, the second
at O'Clock tonight, and the third tomor-
row, New Years day, at 2:3O
This will give q large number of the
Omaha bowlers an opportunity to meet
the cracks of the country, and should re-
suit in good to Omaha bowlers. Some Of
the members OF the Omaha teams have
national regulations and have made good
scores at both Milwaukee and Cleveland
and a surprise may be in store for the
Gunthers.

The crowds which attended the skating
races at the Auditorium during the first
three days of last week show that the
people of Omaha still love a contest of any
kind. A good legitimate race is sure of
crowd in Omaha as we'll as in any western
town. In the days of the old bicycle times
when races were run at the Coliseum
and later at the Charles street park.
Omaha turned out and backed the favorites
just as well as in any town in the country.
American people like a contest, and the
difference of opinion makes horseracing
good and so it does in other forms. Many
thought that Pitt would not have chance
TO beat the worlds champion Davidson, and
yet thousands turned out to see the races.
Davidson demonstrated that he was the
best the west had ever had an opportunity
to see speed around the short curves of an
indoor rink and held his title against the
speedy Pitt, who beat all corners last year.

The instructions given to the rules COM
mittee by the conference were those sub
mitted by West Point and Captain Pierce,
in resenting his suggestions for changes,
said the game was fine and that the public
did not want all roughness entirely elimi-
mated rs some knocks and bruises are
necessary TO keep the identity Of the game.
II people wanted to play croquet place
could be found where they could play, and
watch others play that game. He said that
he believed the present rules, II slightly
modified and rigidly enforced, would be all
that was necessary. The principal sugges-
ton however, was that the college au-
thorities stand back of the game. This is
as 1t should be- with the big universities
standing sponsor for the game, more care
will be taken in the enforcement of the
rules When an official gets 500 Cor ref
ereeing a game and when he is chosen by
college he will be sure to look after the
interests OF that college In a game so that
he will be more apt to be chosen to referee
the next game If the officials are chosen
by a general body, so that their choice does
not depend upon any one college they will
be more fearless and will not hesitate to
put a player out OF the game, no matter
how stellar he may be, II he is caught ut
any rough work. All changes suggested, in
Guiding the open game, elimination Of rough
and brutal play, efficient enforcement Of
the rules which are to he made definite
and precise in all particulars, and the or
ganization OF a permanent body or officials
are in the right direction.

The athletic conference called for a meet

pointed a rules committee of seven to draft
rules for the government of the game OF

Fred Tenny, manager OF the Boston Ma
tionals, believes that he has strengthened
his team by means of recent deals. Tenny
says he has a good infeld now, with
Brain on third, Abbaticchio at short and
himself at first, and that he will soon
land good second baseman in place of
Raymer. Tenny will play Howard in the
outfeld, because OF his batting, and be-
leves that Jack O'Neill, the Chicago
catcher, will be a great man for Boston
behind the bat. Frazier, Young, Wilhelm
Pfeffer and Lindaman make the nucleus
for strong array of pitchers. When it
is taken into consideration that Tenney
receives no financial support from Soden
and Conant, his efforts to bolster up the
Beaneaters are all the more praiseworthy.

The monthly squash ball tournament at
the Racquet club ended last Saturday night
and Spike" Kennedy was successful win
ming from r. l. Cudahy. Kennedy is
quite player, as he has been member
OF this club since it was first organized
several years ago in the old quarters.
Squash ball has superseded racket ball at
the club, as the courts were a little small
for the latter game. Squash ball is
magnificent form of exercise and the four
courts give ample opportunity to the men,
bers of the club to get all the exercise
they want. The courts are so separated
from the main building that they can be
kept cool with plenty of fresh air, making
them all the more desirable, The plunge,
with it's filtered water, also is a magnet
which attracts many. The limit of MEM
bership in this club has about been reached
and 1t is not likely that the directors will
permit the limit of 100 to be exceeded.
