TRAINING TABLE GOES
StaIl-fed Gricf,ron Athletes a THING
of the Past in Western Colleges
Michigan and Indiana Allowed to
Keep Their Professional Coaches
-Three-year Rule Modified.

Chicago, March 10-The western
colleges are to have football this
year, although the style of the game
will be modified to such an extent
that all brutality and unnecessary
danger will be eliminated. This
was the decision reached here last
night by the faculty representative
of the big nine" colleges, who werr
called together in a second reform
conference by President Angel o.
Michigan. The recommendations
which were chiefly objected to were
the adjustment of the professional
coach and training table. and the
three-year rule. The professional
coach is to remain only as long as
existing contracts are III force. This
means that Indiana and Michigan will
be the only colleges in the organiza-
ton this year which will have the
services of professional coaches. The
teams of the other seven universities
will be either taught the game by
members of the faculty or will use
IiS Siddudtt CodCn SySltUl.
The training table, one of the prin-
cipal adjustments of football, is
thing of the past. The effort to
have the rule rescinded failed.
A committee was appointed with
authority to pass judgment on the
rules adopted by the American rules
committee. If these rules prove un.
satisfactory the committee is vested
with power to frame regulations OF
their own.
Heretofore the football season has
closed on Thanksgiving day, but in
the future the last game will be de-
cided on the Saturday before Thanks

The three-year rule was changed
so that all students who have taken
part in athletics for three years will
be eligible for another year, but at
the end of 1906 the three-year rule
viii be put in force so it will include
all athletes
