Late this afternoon il was learned
that Senator BeNeridge has given UP
his plan to take up the statehood bill
in the meeting OF the senate commit
tee on territories this week.
It was the plan TO bring up the
measure for consideration next Fri
day, but the arrangement now, il Is
understood, is TO have the committee
report on it next week. There is ev-
cry reason to believe the measure
drawn by the Indiana senator Will
have plain sailing through the upper
house OF congress. The Arizonians
have generally declared their entire
satisfaction with the Beveridge bill.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
bill appeals strongly to President
Tart in preference to the Hamilton
bill The latter IN behalf OF the pres

Chicago Coach Denies Reports That
He Opposes Michigan in
Athletics.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Co4ach Stage.
of Chicago university, is out with a
statement today denying that he has
in any way endeavored TO dictate in
any way to Minnesota regarding the
latter colleges attitude toward Michi-
gan In athletic matters. Stage also
declared that Chicago would not OPP
pose Michigan's return to the west
ern conference, should the Wolver-
ines desire to come back into the fold.
The statement by the midway coach
follows the reports reaching here
from Ann Arbor, TO the effect that
Stagg was endeavoring to force Min
nesota to drop Michigan from her
football schedule.
Nothing but the best of feeling ex-
lists between Chicago and Michigan,
said Coach Stage, and in support or
this condition Stagg pointed TO the
fact that when the conference was
formed IL was at the instance OF Chi
cago that Michigan was granted addi-
tional time to consider and adopt the
rules II they wished TO do so. Stagg
resented the inference that he was
to dictate the policy or
either the conference or Minnesota,
and, personally, he believes that the
is due to mistaken reports
as to the Maroons~ position.

Another hope Is Con O'Kelly The

Kelly made his advent into the

first appearance in New York, he was
pronounced huge joke as a mat man.
