ANN ARBoR, Mich, Nov. 4.-(Spe-
cial)-The board of control OF ath-
letics at the University OF Michigan
today called on the football game
scheduled with Notre Dame for Sat.
urday. Notre Dame insisted upon
playing Dimmick and Philbrook, who
nave been declared ineligible by the
western conference board
Thursday night the Michigan board
met and after hearing the ruling OF
the Western Conference officials sent
an ultimatum to Notre Dame saying
that under no conditions would Dim
mick and Philbrook be allowed TO par.
ticipate upon the morrow Notre
Dame came back with "a declaration
that the ineligibles would play Ii the
rest of the team did, so Michigan
forthwith called of the contest.
The chief protest was made against
Dimmick and Philbrook because they
had played college football five years
before joining Notre Dame and had
been with that team two years. This
is contrary 20 the rules of the west
ern conference.
An Official statement issued by the
athletic committee and signed by DIR.
Holbrook said The board OF con.

game because Notre Danes attitude

There has been a lot of discussion

points. Notre Dame lost IL points
through disquahfying these two.
The action against Philbrook ant

CALLS

FOOTBALL GAME

seasons OF 1903 and l9O4-5, following
which they competed at Whitman col

1867 and i9O7-S. Then they entered
Notre Dame and were members OF
several athletic teams during l90S-9.
The effects OF the breach probably
will be far-reaching. In all likelihood
Notre Dame will find il difficult "a
make baseball and football schedules
hereafter. as other conference teams
will insist upon the same course that
Michigan did, The matter will prob
ably come before the conference again
and Notre Dame may be dropped. In
hat event the Catholics would find II
