CHICAGO U" WANTS
BUT FEW CHANGES
Faculty and Athletic Directors
Believe Football Should
Be Rough.
Speoial to The Journal,

Special to The Journal. .r.. - -.
Chicago, Jan. 13.-The University
of Chicago does not mean to stand for
any sweeping changes in football,
which will so weaken the gridiron
sport that it becomes game for weak
lings. The athletic department Of the
midway school and the faculty at large
are stanch supporters Of the game as
now played. The maroon representa-
tive at the meeting at the Chicago
Beach hotel next Friday will be in
structed to vote for no weakening
Of the game.
Athletic Director A. A. Stage, at
present in a Chicago hospital under
going treatment for rheumatism, be-
heves in two sets Of rules, one for
prep. schools and one for collegians.
He is also in favor Of all changes which
tend to make the game less rough with
out rendering it too little strenuous.
Loyal to Football.
The faculty members Of the athletic
board and other faculty men are no
less reserved in their support Of foot
ball. Thomas W. Goodspeed, the snowy
haired divinity professor, who is the
oldest and most enthusiastic rooter
the maroons have ever had, is the
stanchest supporter Of the game
among the maroon faculty members.
"We want the game clean but
rough" he has said. "It is the
roughness and strenuosity Of the game
that makes It great Dean Fri B.
Hubert Of the divinity school is an
other believer in the strenuous feat
ures Of the game.
DR.. j. E. Raycroft, head gymnasium
instructor, holds the same views as
Stagg. He is an advocate Of the pres
ent game, but will vote for changes in
details which will not fundamentally
alter the game.
DR.. Raycroft will, no doubt, be the
faculty representative at the meeting
| called by President Angel. His in
| structions are to voice the sentiments
Of the university, which are fat-footee
in favor Of football.
| The maroon basketball team, which
it was hoped would be contender
with the gophers for first honors IL
the conference basketball league, may
not play out it's schedule. It has beer
suggested that all athletic contests a
the midway school be called off TO
thirty days to come on account Of tn
death Of President Harper. This montl
would make the start SO late that Their
would be little use for the maroon
to try to play their schedule.

INDOOR LEAGUE IS
MOVING TO SUCCESS
Baseball Fans Take Kindly to the
Sport on Wooden
Diamond.

Now that the first week Of play in
the city indoor baseball league iS ended
the promoters of the game are able to
see very clearly that the season, which
will last until March 1, will be success
full. The attendance at the three dou-
ble-headers pulled off this week has
been good and has indicated an interest
in the sport which is highly encourag
ing to the men behind the league.
At present six teams comprise the
league, but two more are asking that
they be admitted, and the chances are
that the action Of the league will be
favorable to their request. The appli-
cants are the Northsiders, formerly the
Ganymedes, and the Ninth Warders,
who are said to have the backing of
Alderman Mccoy. 49,. ........ ...-~

BAD FOR
The ICE SPEEDING
Good Time Made on Soft Ice
and Thru a Heavy

Under conditions that were anything
but favorable the Lake of-the Isles Driv
ing club held successful race matinee
yesterday afternoon. The track was
soft and slow on account of the warm
weather, and to make matters worse was
covered with about three inches of soft,

HALF WAY THRU THE
BILLIARD TOURNEY
Courthouse Players Getting Down to
Work at the Vendome.

Most of the players in the courthouse
and city hall billiard tournament have
played three games and have four to
go. The contest is an individual han
dicap, but those who are watching the
game can not resist the impulse to COM
pare the county officials with the city
officials as billiard experts. The five
county players have won nine games
and lost but five, while the three city
players have won but two games and
lost six.
The next game will take place Mon
day at Frank Billiter's parlors in the
Vendome hotel. W. E. Stoopes will
play Horace Johnson.
The standings up to date with sched-
ule Of seven games for each player is as
follows:

start and had hoped for some games

basketball honors, Louis and Martin
Larson are among the most promising.
Louis Larson is candidate for cen
ter on the team and while he is not |
tall enough to make an ideal center
man. he did good work in the Macal-
ester game and may be chosen for the
place. Martin Larson is a candidate for
a guard position and his speed will
make him valuable man for the team.
The other candidates are: Derring,
Tierney, Uzell, Weisel, Clark, Labbit,
Graves and McHugh. All of these men
are more or less new to the game, but
under the direction of Coach Hugh
Leach they should form the nucleus
for strong team.
Choice Of Center.
The position of center seems to be
the one where the most uncertainty
hinges and the fight for the position
will be interesting during the next few
weeks. John Sinclair, former member
Of the Colby college football team and
a possible candidate for the gopher
eleven of 1906, will appear as a candi-
date for center next week and altho
he has had little basketball experience
his height and activity should stand
him in good stead and Coach Leach
will attempt to develop him into a
center.
During the week the Minnesota team
will play two games. On Wednesday
evening the quintet Of Holcomb acad-
envy will play the varsity team on the
armory floor, and on Friday st. Thomas
will line up against the university
team.
Track Team Prospects.
CAPTAIN Greaves Of the track team
IS at present engaged in basketball. but
is keeping his eye on the track situa-
ton and some time this month he will
issue call to track team candidates.
At this time program for indoor work
will be mapped out and preliminary
training for the track work Of the
spring will be begun.
Two Of the most promising of the
varsity track men did not return tc
college this fall, and chances for 9
strong team are not good. Van Metre
who won fourth place in the mile rur
at the western Intercollegiate last
spring, and hammers, the best pole
vaulter on the squad, are not in college
and will not report for work. However
many promising men will report fo
work on the cinder track Dougherty
probably the fastest Splinter the var
sity has ever turned out, will be on
for the team and Captain Greaves, VIII,
won third place in the half mile a
Chicago last spring, is looked upon a
the coming half miller of the west. Il
addition: to these men, probably thirt.
men have announced their intention o
trying for the team, including Tierney
Smith, Kremer, Brush, Woodrick, Nc
Rae, Brown and Jensen.

Varsity Gymnasium a Busy Place
for Candidates for
the Teams. iIss,.s

Altho the athletic interest at the
university is now centered in basket
ball, track men and baseball men are
looking ahead to the time when the

diamond can be resumed. Many of the
men who will be candidates for the
baseball and track teams are working
IN the gymnasium already, getting In

Basketball practice during the last
week has not been altogether satisfac-
tory owing to the unavoidable absence
of Coach Leach during the first part
of the week. However, the game Fri
day evening, in which Manchester was
defeated by score of 40 to 8, dem
onstrated that the varsity basketball
material is on par with that Of the
past and that the University of Mime

Veterans in Lineup.
Two veterans of the last year IS team.
McRae and Brown, will form the main
stay of the 1906 quintet. McRae is cap,
tain Of the team and has had three
years experience in varsity play. He
is fast on his feet and brilliant bas
ket tosser. Brown has not had as much
experience in the game as McRae, but
he can be depended on for steady
consistent game. He is always in per

on the squad.
