WITH COLLEGE ATHLETES
DOings in the Field of Sport in the
East and West,
BREAK IN THE WEST IS NOT SETTLED FACT
Michigan Apparently stiII on the
Fence and Yale and PennsyI-
syIvanin Not Drawing To-
Rether I'm Foot Ball.

In spite Of the pledge that Michigan will
quit the Western conference, having been
admitted to the Intercollegiate Amateur
Athletic Association of America, II Is al
most certain that the situation is not
cleared up by a great deal. At the time of
the recent meeting of the Eastern associa-
ton the manager of the Michigan track
team gave II to be understood that as soon
as the Wolverines were admitted to the as
ISOLATION they would withdraw from the
conference. Whether that was just his own
idea or whether 1t was something that the
Michigan students had decided upon was
not made clear
Now 1t appears that a secondary oppo-
sition to the withdrawal of Michigan from
the conference has come to be OF greater
Importance than It was first held to be
The Michigan student paper has expressed
itself as strongly against leaving the con-
ference, possibly with an eye out to the
base ball and foot ball schedules of future
seasons.
The whole situation is a bit involved
The regents and the student paper are
saying that the Michigan students want tC
stay in the conference. The students, or
Omaha daily bee., 1907-03-10

the other hand, have been signing by thou
sands literally the petition which is going
around Ann Arbor, to take Michigan out of
the conference. There are now about $500
names on that petition, which will go to
the regents or to the senate, whichever
has control OF the situation at the time
when the petition is ready.
If it should actually result that Michigan
decides not to leave the conference, there
will be some trouble for the westerners
here with the Intercollegiate Amateur Ath-
letlc Association of America. In the an
nual meeting Henry Fletcher. the Michigan
emissary, pledged himself and his college
to support the eastern meetings from that
point on faithfully. Either Michigan will
have to keep TO that pledge or else will be
barred out Of the intercollegiate associa-
ton, with small chance ever of being ad-
mitted a third time to membership.
The latter is a condition that was inti-
mated as possible by the Cornell delegate
to the intercollegiate meeting. He appar-
emily had little faith in, the sincerity OF
Michigan in applying for membership
again. His idea was, that Michigan hav-
ing a strong track team and being dis
gruntled with conditions at home, was
eager to draw out there and como on to
show the westerners what a really good
western college could do in the east.
In opposing Michigan the Cornell dele
gate said merely that he was opposed to
letting the Wolverines back in without the
| customary" two years of waiting after
| the first application. From what he said
then and from what has been said subse-
quently by Comedians IT appears that they

first of the year Their efforts have proved
successful in many instances and today a
great majority of the states of the union
have declared against the unsportsmanlka
potting of the lean, home-seeking birds OF
spring.
New Jersey, Connecticut. Rhode Island,
Massachusetts and Virginia are today the
states upon which a resort to federal au-
thority depends. Should these states pass
laws placing them I'm line with the others
on prohibition of spring shooting, 1t is not
considered that IL will be necessary to in,
woke the authority of Washington in the
matter. There seems to be little hope of
such action by all the legislatures of these
FIVE states at just this time, however, and
preparations are being completed for a
forcible appeal to congress at its next SEES
sion.
Forty game commissioners in this country
and British North America have written t
william butcher president of the Audubon
association, strong endorsements Of the
plan for universal abolition of spring shoot
ing. Many Of them advocate immediate
action for federal bird control

NEW YORK, March 9-Sportsmen and

state legislatures now convened for more
adequate measures against the destruction

ders, a campaign will Immediately be or
ganized by the National Association of Au-
dubOn Societies to place all migratory birds
under federal control. Various bodies Of
sportsmen have already promised their sup
port for such measure and there Is every
Indication that IL would be received favor
ably at Washington.
More than half the states in the country
have already legislated against spring

with a deadly fusillade that seriously de-

men and bird lovers generally that as long
as any state fails 10 legislate In uniformity
with the great majority against this de-
structive shooting in spring its only effect

protection from the national government.
That this can be done constitutionally has
been declared by eX-Congressman George

been making careful Investigation OF the
subject.

ent year. Already complete surveys
have been made and the line of the
tracks determined. The men backing
the enterprise are heavily interested
in the Tonopah Mining company, and
also own and operate the Tonopah
railroad.
The fact that the railroad will be
built is demonstrated by the recent
purchase of properties in Hot Creek
and Rattlesnake canyon, by Brooks,
the president in connection with his
Mining company, and the Tonopah
railroad. Another evidence of the
fact that the line will be built is in
the old Tybo mine and some new

purchased recently hy the Nevada
