BIC NINE IN WEST
MAY D|SBAND

The college athletic kettle in the West,
which was brought TO tho boiling point by
the recent stand-patness OF the Big Nine
conference. is still bubbling and sizzling
merrlly, for nearly every university be-
longing TO the conference. with the exceo-
ton OF Northwestern, which counts for
but little In athletics, has been stung by
tho loss of one or more stars in various
branches OF sport
From all present indications the final
outcome may be a disruption OF the or
ganization of the colleges, for students
and coaches alike are dissatisfied with the
drastic restrictions placed upon them AMI
longing eyes are cast by some OF the lar
ger members, such as Michigan and CHI
cago, toward the fertile field OF Eastern
athletics. although the mo trespassing'
sign is still hung out by some of our more
exclusive institutions.
Already the first steps are being taken
to pave the way for the smooth passage
OF intersectional athletics, although with
characteristic Western spirit the Big Nine
leader, Michigan, has taken the initial
step and put the question directly TO the
University Of Pennsylvania. In all proba-
bility Pennsylvania will meet Michigan
in dual field and track meet this spring.
and the Eastern intercollegiate assocG
tion. which meets on Feb. %. will very
likely permit the Wolverines to re-enter
the association and take part in the an
fluai games at Cambridge I'm May. Chi
cago also is reaching out tentatively for
Eastern games, and some OF the smaller
colleges are said to have hopes for con-
tests during the coming season with in
stitutions OF their class.

MICHIGAN To
COMPETE IN EAST

The University OF Michigan is almost
certain to be admitted 10 the Intercol-
legiate a. a. A. and to compete at the
annual meet this spring. President Geye-
lin of the intercollegiate association,
while not speaking officially. said last
night that the application OF Michigan
was considered at the meeting OF the
executive committee last week and that
the sentiment of the committeeman was
almost unanimous IN favor of overlook
ing Michigan's derellotions In the past
and to readmit them to good standing.
If Michigan competes at the next meet
her team will be a most important factor.
and while not likely to win the cham
pionshps, the Wolverines may so dis
tribute their strength as 10 cause several
