strings attached is one OF the re-
forms in sight for the big eight" col
leges next season. A gridiron SEIZED
ule that will settle the claims of the
leading teams 10 the western title is
desired by some of the conference
leaders and will be discussed when
the faculty representatives meet Dec.
3 at the Auditorium hotel in their an
nual session.
Leaders in the maroon football con-
tingent started Chicagos end of the
discussion yesterday when they
brought the matter 10 the attention
Of the Midway authorities. Promi-
nent alumni of the maroon school said
they would support a movement 10
bring about genuine championship,
and IL is believed that the university
professors will lend their influence in
the same direction. According to GER
tain Chicago boosters. the time has
come to bring back the western title
as feature OF the annual season.
Maroon Attitude Unknown.
Coach Stagg OF the maroons said
the possibility of arranging such a
schedule would depend on the atti-
tude of the various college boards of
control toward the whole body of
football reforms" The coach said
Chicago's position on such a matter
could not he announced until after a
meeting Of the board of physical cul-
ture and athletics. The board will
hold a session Saturday or the first
OF the week
The unsatisfactory ending OF the
1910 season is cited as a cause for
action, Minnesota and Illinois both
finished the season without having
been defeated by conference team,
and with no genuine basis for igur-
ing out their relative strength. The
fact that Minnesota was beaten by
Michigan after having the advantage
OF Illinois on the basis Of perform
ances and comparative dope" only
served to make the muddle still more
hopeless, say the supporters OF the
new plan.
Next Years Prospects.
From present indications Chicago.
Wisconsin and Illinois will all be
strong next season. while Minnesota
may take slight slump owing to the
loss of half dozen stars. This line
up makes the prospects brilliant for
a championship grind in case the pro-
fessors permit 1t.
Michigan is regarded by most of
the conference followers as a possible
party to the scheme, especially as it
has been limited by Ann Arbor wise
acroc that tho Wnlvaripao would y,,ucb
rather take part in a championship
struggle than in purely theoretical
pastime. In the absence OF official
word from Ann Arbor, some of the
big eight" rooters think Michigan
might even forget its training table
