Illinois investigation.


About year ago the trustees of the
University Of Illinois appointed commit
! tee to investigate the alleged abuses of the
system Of intercollegiate athletics. The
report OF this committee, which has Just

and thoroughgoing of its kind which has
thus far been made and is based upon one
| OF the most complete Investigations which
has thus far been made by any college or
university in the United States.
The Investigation extended over nearly
twelve months and took in every from OF
athletics and all the charges against the
abuses in the organization and manage
ment Of college athletics. The final finding
OF the committee, as far rs relates to the
University Of Illinois, Is summarized very
briefly. 1t is announced, too. that the
athletic board considers that in most coll
leges the same conditions obtain.
The report says; First. the management
and control OF athletics IN the university
are exercised by satisfactory organiza-
ton. the general athletic board. consisting
OF representatives from the students. fac
ulty and alumni
Second. the funds which have been re-
| cetved and paid out in the past years have
been properly and honestly accounted for.
Third, no improper influences have been
used to obtain players in teams or to win
contests and games with other educational
Institutions.
Fourth. that the general practice Of the
several forms Of athletics by the great body
OF students Ct the university. induced
largely by the interest developed among the
students through the great college and IN
tercollegiate games. IL good far outweigh
ing the possible or alleged harm resulting
from the contest games with other institu-
lions"
The University Of Illinois Press Bulletin
says OF the report simply: 'The bearing Of
such a report made by people outside the
faculties Of the student body is self-evident
and will go long way toward reassurins
the general public as 20 many OF the
charges currently made against the system
Of intercollegiate athletics"

An analysis OF the standing. OF the col

FOXY NED HAS BIG TASK BEFORE HIM

VIII the coming base ball season prove
the undoing OF Ned Hanlon. once called
the prince OF base ball managers? Time
was when Hanlon was a name to. conjure
with. When the Baltimores won the Ma
tiohaI league pennant in 1894 Hanlon, who
sat on the bench. had such star players
as John McGraw. Joe Kelley, Willie
Kesler, Hugh Jennings, Dan Breuthsrs'
Steve Brpdie, Wilbert Robinson, Henry
Peitz, John Mcmahon, Kid, Gleason, Jerry
Nops, George Hemming' and others. The
boss manager had developed this team
from practically nothing.
When he left the Pittsburg team, which
had been a failure undep his control, Han;
Ion received absolute authority TO handle
the Baltimore team as he might see Mt
30 he went ahead with several deals, trad
Ing shindle and Treadway to Hrpokiyn for
Keeler and Brouthers, at the same time
handing Van Haltrsn over TO PittsburG
for Joe Kelley and $3.50. while Tim
o'Rourke and a bonus went to Louisville
for Hugh Jennings and Harry Taylor. Nc
Graw was already a member OF the Bait
mores when Hanlon took hold OF them
but he was only a green youngster and
to HanIon belonged the entire credit fol

Great ON Team work.

Under Hanlon's ideas Of team work the
Baltimores became famous. In fact they
were pronounced by many to be one Of
the greatest ball teams that ever won a
pennant. When the team was consolidated
with the Brooklyns Hanlon had another
series Of successes at Washington park,
where two more pennants were won. But
after that the American league stepped
in and wrecked the Brooklyn team. TAX
ing away from Hanlon such players as
Keeler Jones. sheekard. DAILY, Mc0innity,
Farrell and others. With no money be-
hind him Hanlon experienced hard time
after that. He gradually lost his ambi-
ton because Of friction with the other
officials OF the Brooklyn club, who did not
believe that he was. worth a salary OF
s12oO0 a year. and finally got q chance
to manage the decrepit Cincinnati club,
which was worrying Garry Hermann al
most 20 death Hanlon took hold OF the
Parlyille team last year at time when
he had no say as to its makeup. The
season was a failure, therefore, and Han
Ion then asked permission from Hermann
to adopt the methods which enabled him
TO get together a champion team in Balti-
more thirteen years ago.
"t1et me get rid OF all these old players
who have worn ont their welcome in Gin
cinhati," said Hanlon TO Hermann, "anc
then allow me TO gather an entirely new
bunch OF youngsters who are ambitious ant

wholesale Topping on OF heads caused a
sensation among the Cincinnati critics and
fans who began TO score Hanlon unmerci-
fully. and are still at il. But Hanlon said
nothing. He simply read over his mail and
proceeded to either purchase or draft every
promising player In the minor leagues.
The manager had decided TO keep as q

stick to Passing Game.

Dartmouth this year has stuck more to
the passing than the dribbling game. The
whole idea is to keep passing the bali
about. getting all the men in the play and
then working 1t down under the basket
before shooting. Owing to the strong
guards, the rival teams have been unable
to break through for large scores. while
the Dartmout men have pretty consistently
made goals whenever they had chance,
because the bali was at such close range
to the basket.
Dartmouth. incidentally, last season had
the unusual record OF being the FIRST col
lege team to defeat Columbia In three
seasons. The New Workers. won the league
championship in 1904 and 1905 and had not
been beaten by any college team in that
time. 1t was the first game of their third
season in which they met DARTMOUTH and
although the score was very small, the
Hanoverians made Just a point or 10 more
than Columbia The victory on the CO.
