CHICAGO OPPOSES
7-GARE SCHEDULE

CHICAGO, Jan. I.-University OF Chi
cage authorities have decided against
the seven-game football schedule.
According to the announcement made
today by Prof. Alonzo X Parker. re-
corder Of the Maroon school, the uni
versitv senate viii stand firm for five
games next season despite the favor
able vote received by the heightened
schedule at last weeks meeting Of the
conference Representatives.
Chicago's action is a protest against
the conference vote and will necessitate
another consideration Of the seven game
question. The movement for more
games is eneCtually halted by due mid
way ultimatum, as Chicago's affirmative
vote would be needed to pass the rule
by the required two-thirds majority at
the next big nine" gather ing.
The stand taken by the Senate con-
firms that of the board of physical Gull
ture and athletes taken PREVIOUS TO the
November meeting of the conference and
is interpreted at the university to mean
that there is no prospect OF any loosen
ing up on the reform" The Chicago

ENGLISH MAYORS SYMBOLS.

Some OF the many symbols Of mayor
atty which have just changed hands are
of greater intrinsic and historic interest
than the civic mace and the golden col
lar, generally regarded as the only in
sigma of chief magistTacy. The mayor
OF Lincoln, however. is indicted into Of
fee by the placing upon his finger Of
the ancient gold ring which his prede-
cessors have worn for centuries. The
ring itself mas also a curious power, for
when the mayor sends II TO any school
an the Ciuy's boundary the scSooln1aster
is bound to give his pupils holiday for
the day. At Chichester the MAYOR IS
similarly married TO his duties by an an
cient turquoise ring. Chichester also
arms its chief magistrate with a gold
mounted malacca cane of office. while
the mayer of GUildford carries the stick
presented 10 the borough by Queen
Elizabeth At York both the lord mayor

An Argument That Fails.
The letter is straightforward and in
teresting. but unconvincing. No moral
turpitude was imputed to Ewry. 1t was
entirely a technical matter and absO-
luteIy plain. He took part in INSANE
toned meets, in direct contraventiOn OF
the a. a L. rules, and could not hope
to avoid suspension IL the A A. l. Of
fcials had backbOnes more substantial
than skimmilk. The eXteuuating cir
CumstanCes were matter for discussion
in arguing for mitigation or the pun
ishment, and in no way a defense
against conviction. Mr.. SChlOb0hm IN
his letter seems TO think the entire com
mittee voted TO eXOneTate EWry With
out any punishment. As q matter of
fact, Messrs. Nevin and Mahoney voted
to let the matter drop, while Mr.. Thorn
as Hughes, secretary of the commit
tee, voted TO suspend EWTy.
Now 1t is said the Metropolitan As
ISOLATION threatens vengeance on the
A. A. L. because the A. A. L. officials
went over the committees head and
put EWTy under the ban. The Metro
politan Association should receive little
