EVERYTHING WORTH WHILE IN SPORT GATHERED HERE
TRIO OF GOPHERS
BARRED FROM GAME

Hugh Leach, Ray varcp and Edward Thornton,
students An the university who have won "a
reputation on the baseball diamond, have been
declared Ineligible for participation in university
baseball by the Minnesota eligibility committee.
The men; Of the trio are In good standing on
the university books, but participation in pro-
fessional baseball during the summer season
last year rendered them Ineligible for the Min
nesota team.
In announcing that the three would not
be allowed to represent Minnesota on the dia-
mond the Minnesota authorities have taken the
first step toward literal enforcement of tbs
western conferences rule, and it is thought that
other Of the western colleges will follow suit
and bar from the sport men who have played
on professional teams. Leach and Varco played
on the Grand Forks Northern league team last
year, and Thornton played on the amateur team
at Benson without first receiving permission
from the university athletic board, thing ne,
