VIII Draft New Rules.
A meeting Of all the principals and super
intendents Of the Nebraska schools has
been called for Saturday, May Z, in Me-
mortal hall at the State university The
meeting was called for this date In order
TO secure attendance from all the athletic
directors OF the state for a discussion Of
proposed rules TO govern high school ath-
letes.
During the last winter there has been
considerable agitation among the men con-
neuted with high school athletics and the
general opinion has been that there should
be a set OF rules drafted that would be
adopted by all the schools in the state
a. present there Is no fixed standard for
the athletes. and some schools permit men
to compete who do not keep up their
scholastic work.
The men who had the meeting OF May
called desire to get a uniform set of rules
and to make the principals enforce it. It
is said the high school pupils who should
be required under the proposed rules TO
maintain a certain standard OF scholarship
IN the high schools would be much more
fitted to come to the State university,
where they have to get their studies In
order TO be eligible for athletics. than the
youngsters who have been vending their
way hither for many falls.
TO Play Highland Park.
The Cornhusker base ball team will have
one more game this spring, even though a
decision is made TO have the organization
ulhD0nueu Wllnln the next week. t1lBnldHu
Park college Of Des Moines, Ia, has signi-
fled it's willingness to play the Cornhusk-
ers whether or not they are eligible for
base ball under the Missouri valley con
ference rulings. and the game scheduled
for next Tuesday will take place on that
day, weather permitting. In past years
the Highlanders have turned out strong
teams They are allowed to play fresh

The failure of the conference representa-
tives at Kansas City on Tuesday to settle
the base ball question as regards summer
playing among college men was keen
disappointment to the Cornhuskers 1t has
killed their chances of playing any OF the
conference schools this year and means
that the Nebraska nine will be out of the
championship race for the season of 1910.
1t is not the failure to get legislation in
favor of summer ball that has stirred up
tho ire OF the Cornhuskers, though; 1t is
the attitude that some of the other schools
have taken In regard to the amateur stand
ing OF their own men that has reused the
Nebraskans. The attempt of two or three
OF the schools to convince the Nebraska
board that the ball players at those schools
are not professionals Is ridicuied here. and
the Cornhuskers are on a still hunt for
information about various Missouri valley
college players who were on hired teams
last summer Considerable data was Sc
cared this week which touched upon sew
erai Of the players at Kansas. There is
additional material forthcoming about the
Jayhawkers Missouri, Iowa, Ames. Wash
inston and Drake all have dirty base ball
skirts, and the Cornhuslers intend that
those schools shall either fess up on the
matter voluntarily or have the facts showed
before their eyes so they will have no
chance to deny the charges
