Summer Base Bali Talk.
During the week considerable discussion
has taken place regarding the proposition
Of permitting university students to play
base ball for money IN the summer At
present all members OF athletic teams In
the universities and colleges Of the Mis-
souri, valley conference are prohibited from
playing summer ball with professional or
seml-professional teams. The conference
rule says that no athletic shall use his ath-
ietic skin 10 earn money, and Il specl-
fically states that no student who plays
summer base ball with teams that pay
their players" shall be eligible for inter-
collegiate athletics
For several years the sentiment at Ne
braska has been strongly In favor OF allow
ing students to play ball and earn their
vacation money by that means. The chief
reason for the growth Of such feeling here
Is that the Cornhuskers know the rules
against summer base ball are openly vio-
lated by students from many western
schools. The rule is a dead letter and never
has been enforced in the Missouri valley
conference.
Certain members Of the faculty at Ne
braiska are opposed to maintaining the
antl-summer base ball rule as a blind any
longer. They want the students to have
the free will OF the university to play ball
for money and they are going to force the
athletic board to take some action on the
matter II the board will not permit the
athletes to play summer ball, then these
faculty members are going TO appeal their
case to the Board of Regents where they
feel certain OF getting a fair hearing and
the abolition OF the obnoxious rule.
