continuance of friendly relations in the

The local athletic authorities re-

Behind the ostensible purpose of the
gathering is the question whether any
of the Big Eight schools will follow
Minnesota's lead in playing the VOL
verines will come to u showdown.
While the coaches will not enter
into any open negotiations regarding
the undesirability of playing Michigan
IL will be understood that no school
should give Michigan a date in any
branch of sport until she returns 10

given n hint that she should not renew
her contract with Michigan, 1t is
thought
The Gopher action in playing Mich
