presidents that football must be reformed
or eliminated. Michigan is the leader In
the revolt, strongly backed by Minnesota

ably make him professor In the institu-
ton to dodge the professional rule.
The student body at Ann Arbor Is up
in arms, and ugly charges about the at
titude of Chicago are being made

the University OF Michigan, sees in-the
proposed attack upon athletics an at
tempt by Chicago 10 draw students from
the Michigan university. He has, he
claims. a letter from Chicago soliciting
law students TO finish" at the University
OF Chicago.
Chicago employed Professor Mechem. a
popular teacher OF law. formerly en-
ployed at Ann Arbor. and the letter Is
said 10 have been sent 10 Ann Arbor stu
dents Immediately following the removal
OF Professor Mechem TO Chicago.
All Michigan students figure that the
proposed athletic reforms are calculated
10 elevate the University OF Chicago
above other western schools

BROWN DEFEATED

il was an interesting game of basket
ball In Lyman gymnasium last evening in
which the Brown basketball team lost its
first game OF the season TO Wesleyan by
score OF 20 to is. Brown presented
decidedly crippled team, two Of the reg
ulars not being in the lineup owing to
designations and charges brought by THE
SPHINX and some OF the ardent REFORM
ers Of athletics. The designations were
not on account Of the truth of the charges
but because OF Indignation. The substi-
tutes German and Stitt played TO the
best of their ability. but despite their
efforts the Brown team was necessarily
broken -up-W Wesleyan rad ITS best team
on the floor. and by steady playing in the
first half was able TO cinch the contest.
In the second half Browns team work
began TO improve and Wesleyan was
forced to defensive tactics. The home
team was able to score two more points
in this half than the visitors, but the
big lead (1g TO 10) in the first period
proved too big handicap. Even Dame
Fortune took no pity on the crippled FIVE.
for most OF the luck throughout the con-
test hovered around the Connecticut boys.
Continually in the second half the ball
would roll around the rim OF the Wes-
leyan basket. only TO drop down on the

POLICE BASEBALL LEAGUE

owing TO the support which was given
the Providence police nine last summer,
Patrolman Martin Feeney OF Station 6
and Patrolman O'Brien OF Station are
planning the formation of a league OF
teams to play during the coming season.
From the plans II looks as If the league
will contain six teams, representing the
forces in this city. Pawtucket, Newport.
Fall River, Taunton and New Bedford.
There may also be added Central Falls.
The league. II formed, will be the fruit
OF the efforts OF Patrolman Feeney. The
Providence team has already equipped IT.
self with uniforms and when the open
weather comes. Feeney, who has been as
sisted In his work of getting things ready
for the league by Patrolman O'Brien, will
have his men out for practice. He thinks
that out of the force of S25 or more men
I'm this city many of whom are young
fellows, he will be able TO pick at least
a dozen fast ball players.
Communications have been sent in by
Mr.. Feeney 20 officers In Ave of the cities
mentioned in the league and responses
from these places show that the officers
are ready and willing to engage in a bat
tie for supremacy on the baseball dla-
mond. Pawtucket has a strong team
which fact was demonstrated last summer
when the Providence nine fell victim TO
its play at Melrose park.
