Previous to the regular show at Fisch-

a few of his friends at the little First

which has been catching the rubes along

The pictures of the near battle are GER

round Squires managed to stay is de-
picted on the screen. Pictures incident
to the training are also shown, as well
as the scenes preceding and following
the almost mill.
Burns will break into the theatrical
game in Los Angeles next week al
Fischer's and will show the pictures each
night and afternoon. He will undoubted-
ly draw good houses, as he is attaining
something akin to popularity and IS
gaining a large following which will
doubtless want to see how cleverly he
conducts himself before the footlights.

COLLEGES TO HOLD
ANOTHER MEETING
ANNUAL AGREEMENT PoWWoW
NEXT MONDAY
Schools already Calling Each Other
Names and viii Attempt to Settle
Question of Players
Eligibility

A conference between the representa-
tives of the various colleges of Southern
California will be held in the University
club Monday afternoon at / o'clock for
the purpose of settling the disputes that
have arisen regarding the standing of
football players who are to play on the
local college teams this year.
AS usual the schools have commenced
their little scraps regarding the eligibility
of players on opposing teams, and there
is much wrangling and many dark in
situations that agreements have been vio-
lated and that certain schools are sacri-
ficing the spirit of amateur sport and
securing men who enter only to play foot
ball.
The truth about the matter seems to be
that there is no definite rule defining
amateur standing. Each school defines
the word amateur after its own formulas.
The supporters of each school are nattr-
ally anxious to have their teams victo-
rious and to this end they do everything
possible to get the best players to enter
their college.
This Is justifable so long as money Is
not paid to any player for his services as
a player. II any school is guilty of pay
ing cash to get Drawn with which to gain
a victory over another college such col
Iege should be barred from competition.
Undoubtedly some men are persuaded to
go to a particular college who would
doubtless go to some other school or not
go at all if it were not for their ability to
play football.
There have been agreements In the past
between the colleges covering the many
disputed points of eligibility. When asked
what these agreements were, no two per-
sons will answer the question in the same
way. All the colleges have lived up to
the intercollegiate agreements as they
have understood them
Mondays meeting is an attempt in the
direction of clearing up the questions
under dispute. Three main points will
come up for consideration, viz:
First. will the members of the prepara-
tory academies be eligible to play on the
varsity teams?
Second, will men be barred from inter-
collegiate athletic contests during the
first semester of their college course?
Third, what will be the status of col
lege men who have come from other col
leges?
1t matters little which way these vari-
Gus points are decided, but it Is of vital
Importance that all the colleges should
agree upon one thing and state definitely
in black and white just what they agree
to, and for how long they bind themselves
to abide by the agreement.
The colleges which will meet in confer
ence are: Whittier. Occidental, st. Vim
cents. University of Southern California
and Pomona.

POMONA HANDICAP
OPENING FEATURE

Thanksgiving has been selected as

The Pomona handicap, which takes
the place of the stake known at ASCOT
as the Jonathan club handicap, save
that it has not quite the distance, will
be a seven -furlong affair for all aged

will ship their strings to the coast be-
fore that date and nominate their classy
animals to compete for the money.
