SAME tlHe. Ine penalty Tor an 1nfrac-
tion of this rule will nrobably mean
the conference at it's next meeting. The
arbitrators also failed to provide any
penalty in case the coaches or officials
talked after game.
Bunny Hare Ineligible.
Captain "Bunny" Hare of Indiana
also came in for a dig from the con-
ference eligibility committee, declaring
that he was ineligible all Of this sea,
son. It was kick after he had crawled
thru the ropes as he wound up his foot
nesota. Hare was declared .remiss in
regard to his scholastic standing and to
have unlaWfully and fe,oniously played
a game or two of baseball in his home
| town with team that was "enotori-
ously' semi-professional. The record
or the team was not produced so that
the anxious thousands will never know
a good Or "a bum aggregation. This
matter was a result Of the feud between
Purdue and Indiana and has little OUT
side interest. For an ineligible player,
"Bunny' played a wonderfully clever
game. r.. ".-'.'>
Laying aside the humorous features
Of the meeting, the action as whole
will please those who have hoped that
the unhealthy reforms of last Janu-
ary, would be set aside. At that time
excited by mass Of misinformation
committee meeting in Chicago bore
down too heavily. upon the greatest of
the college games. The abuses which
had crept in were not to be righted in
such manner. The new rules cut out
a mass of muckerism and the big games
of. the year were. handled with. good
spirit pa and spportsma5nship: The play
the satisfaction Of the faculties that
football would be played in clean man;
ner and there was little opposition to
the reforms. .................... O.
Minnesota, 1t is to be regretted, was
not in full accordance with all of the
liberal views expressed by some of the
other schools in the west. 1T was, how;
he attended the meeting with instruc.-
tion from the faculty council, some Of
the members Of which appear to need
an awakening. .... !" -"
Behind Closed Doors.
The delegates, as usual. met behind
closed doors, but all unite in declaring
that everything was thoroly harmo-
NOUS and that while there was a differ.
ence Of opinion on many points, there
was no debate of an acrimonious nature.
The conference broke all records for
speed, starting the real work this af.:
ternoon after g. O'Clock and finishing
at $50. -. -
The rule Of rotation in presidency
landed the present honors in the hands
of q newcomer, Hutchinson of Wis
consin. The other officers Of the organ
ization retained their places. Professor
Moran of Purdue is now secretary,
vice President Professor Barton of Illi-
nois, resigned. J.
