KANSAS CITY. Feb. H.-(special Tele-
gram -Representatives Of the athletic
boards of Washington, Kansas, Iowa and
Missouri universities met here yesterday
in the second gathering of the Missouri
valley conference of faculty representa-
tives. The organization had been termed
the big Five" but Nebraska does not
seem to care for the scheme. and II now
looks as though the organization would be
formed with four universities
When the representatives met here last
month rules were drawn up. practically
identical with the Chicago conference rules.
1t was found, however, that several of
the universities did not care for as strict
a code as that used by the big Nine" and
at the meeting yesterday the rules were
somewhat modified and now the repre-
sentatives believe that none OF the athletic
boards concerned can have any objection
TO joining the Missouri valley conference.
The men who were here yesterday Will
present the rules TO their respective ath-
letic boards, and II all the universities con-
cerned accept the code. the Missouri valley
conference of faculty representatives will
be considered formed. 1t will settle all
disputed points that may arise between
members OF the conference. 1t will hold
a conference track meet in Kansas City
in the spring of 1905. The object Of the
body will be to boost college athletics in
the Missouri valley.

II is simply a tug and a twist above the
