FOOTBALL MEETING OFF
UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE
WILL ONLY HOLD ANNUAL ATH
LETIC BOARD ELECTION.

Efforts to postpone the university
athletic board election on account Of
the examinations which are being held
this week have failed and the univer-
sity athletic solons for the coming year
will be chosen at an undergraduates
meeting to be held in the armory Satur-
day night. AS many students will leave
the city upon completing examinations
the election of members to the board
will be the only business of the meeting
and the proposed massmeeting for the
purpose Of ascertaining student senti-
ment in regard to football reform has
been postponed.
The contest for the presidency of the
board has developed no new candidates
and it is probable that John Gleason
and Edward Condor will be the only ri
walls for the office, regarded as one Of
the best in undergraduate circles. No
issue has been raised and a choice will
depend on the personality of the two
men.
The fight for the vice presidency and
academic representative on the board
has brought up the question of whether
or not members Of the football team
should be selected to places on the
board of athletic control. Arthur Lar
kin, quarterback of the 1905 team has

presidency, while "Jim'' Kremer, half
back on the varsity team for the last
three years, seeks the position of aca-
demic representative. Edward O'Neill
and Albert Running, both academies,
will contest the election with Larkir,
who is an engineer, while C. K. Michner
has entered the lists as Kremer s oppo-
nent.
Three years ago several of the mem
bers Of the university football team ran
for positions on the athletic board and
were defeated thru student sentiment
against placing the management Of
athletics in the hands of the athletes
themselves. This year, however, owing
to the football reform agitation, under
graduate sentiment has changed to some
degree and there is a feeling in some
quarters that the football men should
be selected to the beard to i insure the
form proposition should come before
the athletic governing body.
