ished, has not been in existence for
the past six months, according to DIR.
c. G. Plummer, university regent and
one of the five college men appointed as
an advisory council by President j. I.
Kingsbury last year.
The athletic advisory council Of the
University of Utah has not been abOl-
ished and is still in existence, according
to the best judgment of the other four
college men who were appointed by
President Kingsbury as members Of the
advisory council last year.
DR.. Plummer's statement that the
council had, Of Its own vOlition,'
ceased to exist last spring was an
nOunced last night and caused some
surprise in university football circles
and among the other four members of
the council themselves. These four are
ID. A. Callahan, George A. Eaton,
Frank Anderson and r. II. Claiming.
Ii appears that there is slight mis-
understanding as to whether the coun-
Gil has been dead for 10, these many
months, and investigation disclOses a
prepOnderance of opinion that life still
exists. As nearly as can be ascertained
the alleged death and adjustment OF
result of volitiOnary impulse.
The DOCTORS position is that the ad-
visOry board being abolished. he is in
supreme control of athletics at the uni
versity as chairman of the athletic
committee of the board of regents.
It's Dead, Says Plummer.
DR.. Plummer made the following
statement last night when requested
for his views on the subject;
THE athletic advisory council is not
now in existence and has had nothing
to do with football affairs at the uni
versity this season. 1t has not been I'm
existence for something like six months.
For this reason there can be no con-
fict between the athletic board Of the
university and the advisory council aP-
pointed by President Kingsbury. ANY
statement 10 the contrary is erroneous
and based on a misapprehensiOn of the
facts. Nhese are that the council was
named by President Kingsbury simply
TO give what aid it cOuIG for one sea
son. We fulfilled this duty and then
the council of its own volition, ceased
to exist"
DR.. Plunmer explained that he had
been on the university campus during
the present season. but as a regent and
/ not as. a member Of the council. He
further said that Nj Callahan. al
/ his request, and not acting as a MEM
Der of the council al the request of DF.
KingsburS. had been present M one or
two Hne-u9s.
Following the interview with DR..
Plummer, The Herald inquired of
Messrs Eaton. Anderson. Charming
and Callahan whether the athletic ad-
visory council had been abolished.
whether they had resigned or had any
intimatiOn that it was TO go out Of eX-
/ istence?

It's all a surprise TO Roscoe H. Cnau-

which were put to Mr.. Callahan. MI.
