Most of the members of the faculty favor the
majority of the recommendations. Dr. Raycroft
was particularly enthusiastic about the neutral
zone idea and said:
+ II am glad that the Harvard neutral-zo idea
has been recommended. This will do great
deal toward cleansing the game, as 1t will give

at work preparing themselves for the prelimi-
naries. which take place on the evenings of
Feb. 90 and "a. The challenges issued to Iowa

such strong adversaries in the arena, the u S.
D. debaters realize they will have to be up
and doing.
So far questions have been agreed upon with
Iowa and Dakota Wesleyan, but not with Creigh-

cepted by the. U. s. d. board of control is:
Resolved, That free election is the best avail

choice of sides, will uphold the negative Da-
kota Wesleyans have choice of sides in the
following question: Resolved. That it would be
advisable to institute in the United States COM

The debate with Iowa will take place at Iowa
City some time in April The one with Dakota
Wesleyan will be held at Mitchell some time
between April Is and May is. The Creighton
debate will be contested In Vermillion some time
between May / and May 10.
1t was the request of Dakota Wesleyan that
graduate students be barred partici pm tine;
in the debate with that institution. and the local
board accepted the terms. To pit undergra dr-

Madison. Wis. JAM, 29.-The faculty Of the
Wisconsin university will doubtless approve the
suggestions of the national football rules COM
mittee, providing the other members of the big
nine conference will do likewise None of the
members of the faculty will say positively
whether he believes the other members will
vote In accord with the suggestions, but the
general opinion among the student body and
others is that they will when the time comes.
President Van Hise said that he was not in a
position to say whether the faculty would ap-
prove the suggestions or not. He wanted the
official reports Of both the Chicago and the
New York conferences before he would express
an opinion. The faculty probably will pass upon
the subject at its meeting week from today,
DR.. Van Hise said.
Professor Tommy Adams. chairman Of the
athletic council and general censor Of university
athletics, said that he approved of the sugges-
ton of forward pass, the ten.yard gain and
other reforms recommended, but he could not
forecast the action of the faculty on the matter.

The big nine representatives defend their ac-
