Chicago, Jan. 22.-While it is certain that the
University or Chicago senate will adopt the
findings of the conference because they are d.
rectly in line with the resolutions adopted by
the senate in December, many students think
some Of the propositions are too stringent and
will take away the features which have made
football the great American college game.

Waits for Rules Meeting.

In an interview today DR.. Northrop said: "We
will wait until we hear from the rules commit
tee and then will consider the action of the
big nine" This means that DR.. Northrop does
not believe that football will be abolished i'll
Minnesota.
From a local standpoint the most interesting
and surprising thing about the big nine confer
ence meeting was the fact that Minnesota and
Michigan We're on the same side of the fence
working in unison to prevent the abolition OF
football in the west Wisconsin, Chicago and
Northwestern were lined up for the abolition OF
the game, while the representatives Of Illinois,
Purdue, Iowa and Indiana were ''on the fence
but leaning toward the Wisconsin view.
AS result Dean Jones. the Minnesota repre.
sentative, together with Professor Pattengill of
Michigan, were ''between fire and the deep sea-
and the friends of football will never know Just
how near the conference came to recommending
the adjustment Of the game.
Verdict a Compromise.
In speaking Of the action of the conference
today. Dean Jones said:
1.-The resolutions adopted were in the ma
ture Of n compromise and the university students
and friends of the game should go slow In form
Ing their opinion Of the action of the confer
ente There. was surprising sentiment in ia
yor of the abolition OF the game ALTOGETHER and
those opposed to such action had to concede some
things to the members of that sentiment =
The students Of the university probably will
be given chance to express their views on the
matter. The representatives made no attempt
to modify. tie rules of the game. They de-
cided to wait for the action of the rules commit
tee in this matter and confne their attention tt
the financial and ethical properties of the sport
There general feeling, however, thai
unless the football rules committee makes con
siderable changes in the game 1t should be
abolished"

In addition to barring four of Minnesota.

year will be limited to five games, If the rules
are adopted Games with Hamline, Carleton OF
Grinnen will count in figuring up the numbe
Of contests the gopher team may enter. Thi
rule was adopted after strenuous fight in whicl
1T is understood that Dean Jones led the oppo
sition.
In the opinion of gopher players this Is on
of the worst features of the conference action
1t means that the second team will be called Of
for more strenuous work than ever in the past
and the players argue that it will be mucl
worse on the play ers than If they were allowe
to play the regular preliminary games.
The rule barring men who have received uni
versity degrees Is also laughed at by rooters
who state that it will mean that a good foot
, ball player will see that he does not get hi
degree until he has played his last year /
football-thus eyading the purpose of the rule
Taking 1t all in all, the general sentimen
at the university seems to be that the rule
adopted while radical, the best the friend
OF the game could expect under the circun
stances. And some declare the end is not yet.

No Professionalism Here.

This is due to the fact that members of

Minnesota men, who have come to the university
for education and who would not be affected
by the stringent scholarship rule proposed by the
conference The barring of Current. Marshall,
Kremer and Smith would, however be a severe
blow to gopher football prospects for next year.
. As to the probable attitude of the Minnesota
faculty in regard to the big-nine recommended
tions little is known. President Northrop Is,
like President Hadley of Yale, Of the firm
est friends Of football in the country, and he
has expressed his opinion that the action taken
by the big nine extremely radical. At his
suggestion action will be taken by the gopher
authorities until the football rules committee
meets in New York to revise the game
If the changes made satisfactory and foot
ball is freed Of the features to which DR.. North
top objects, it Is more than a possibility that
Minnesota will balk when it comes to the accept

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
OF Interest to Township Clerks.

Township clerks of the state since
last July 4th have wondered how they
would get compensation or what COM
pensation they would get for the
handling of the road funds. Prior to
that time they we're allowed per
cent. for the handling of the fund,
tut atthe last session Of the legis-
lature that part of the law was re-
pealed and many of these officials over
the state were Of the opinion that
they would get nothing for handling
this money. Opinions have been
rendered by the county attorneys IN
Snumber of counties on the matter
ahd about all of them coincide with
the following opinion rendered by the
county attorney Of Pottawattamie
County, who holds that instead OF
losing their percentage ty the repeal
OF the law they will, in fact, have
their percentage increased from two
to five per cent, which In counties
like Dubuque county amounts to no
small sum, as there are many
thousands Of dollars expended annual
" on the roads of the county. Inc
Following is the opinion:
ssRelative to your inquiry as TO
compensation OF township clerks for
handling the road funds, would say
that the Thirtytirst general assembly
repealed that portion of Section 1888
81 the code which allowed to town
ship clerks per cent for all money
coming into their bands and paid Out
for road purposes, and the township
Clerks would therefore be entitled t.
compensation as provided by Sectio1
sol Of the code which provides tina
the clerk shall receive per cent. To-
all moneys coming into his hands b!
virtue of his Office, except money re
ceived from bis predecessor In office
unless otherwise provided for by law
AS there is no other provision TO
compensation to the clerk for handlin
the road funds, he is entitled to
per cent as provided by the last SCI
tion named. This applies to q
moneys received by clerks since Jul
4,i9O6. New Hampton Tribune.
