IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

after the disastrous finish, However,
there are likely to be hurdles in the
way of renewing relations and it Is
understood that one Of the conditions
to be laid down by Minnesota is that
the wolverines return to the confer
ence fold
Minnesoa's athletic board, it is said,
is strongly for the conference, as the
ruling powers figure that 1t would be
tough shedding outside the breast
works. The gophers could make
long-term contract with Michigan, but
would the rest of conference teams, il
this was done, be wiling to renew
their own schedules with the gophers?
Michigan Goes It Alone.
Despite the fact that Michigan has
been going it more or less alone the
wolverines have had nothing to kick
about in the way of successful ath-
letics. They undoubtedly can get along
without the conference indefinitely,
but should Minnesota refuse to meet
them again there will be quite q void
in the Michigan football schedule. The
report was in circulation after Satur-
days game that certain faculty repre-
sentatives, who accompanied the team
TO Ann Arbor, dropped hint that il
Michigan wanted to renew the football
contract Minnesota would much rath-
err see Michigan inside the conference
than outside. "A
1t is however, true that efforts have
been made of late to break up the
whole conference organization and on
the ruins build a ''big five" composed
of Chicago, Wisconsin, Minnesota, IL
linois and Michigan. This combina-
ton would leave out in the cold In
diana, Northwestern, Iowa and Pur-
due. 1t is hardly thought likely that
the faculty representatives making up
the conference board will consent To
this. There has also been some talk of
Minnesota pulling out of the confer
ence, but the gopher faculty are said
to be against such a move.
Although the University of Chicago
is not at present in position to do
much debating in matters pertaining
to football the powers that be at the
Midway institution are closely watch
ing the trend of events.

START REVISING
FOOTBALL RULES

New Haven. Nov. 25.-Another re-
weston of the football rules will be
commenced as soon as the present sea-
son ends. Action has been taken by
the intercollegiate rules committee,
through the central board of officials
toward securing scientific suggestions
for reform, instead of making new
code from the outcry of western dele
gates, who came to the conference
last year, begging that, unless some
rule they suggested was passed their
state Legislature would taboo the
game. Requests have been made from
every official who has presided in a
game this year to give his ideas re-
garding a change in the rules. The
questions asked include:
Are fair or unfair tactics on the in
crease?
Is it possible for only two officials
to properly and fairly officiate and
control game of intercollegiate foot
ball?
What have been the fundamental
changes in the game resulting from
the changes in the rules?

HIGHEST SCORE
OF The SEASON

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 25.-The Haskell
Indians were disastrously defeated by
the state university on Nebraska field
by score Of 121 to 0. 1t was Nebras-
ka's high score for the season.
The Haskell team failed to offer any
effectual resistance to the Nebraskans
and were smothered from the start.
Haskell failed to rally in the second
half. Nebraska scored repeatedly on
long end runs, fake plays and forward
passes. Only twice did the visitors
hold Nebraska for downs.
Minor made one of the most specta-
cular plays of the day Eluding the
Indians on an end run, he dashed
eighty yards for touchdown with the
entire Haskell team at his heels.

SOCIETY BORROWER MUST GO
Feature of London's Smart Set Is
Likely to Disappear Under
the New Regime.

London-The borrower" who has
for some years been a feature of Lon
don society, Is likely to disappear
somewhat under the new regime. She,
for the borrower is usually woman,
came in with the sporting set, which
has had things its own way. She is
generally of good family and is an ex-
cellent sportswoman, but impecunious.
She never borrows money except
from members of her family and she
does not really need to do so, as she
has to pay for little. She borrows
motor cars and weekend cottages She
has been seen at dinners wearing the
jewels of a good-natured friend.
When she wants to bring out a
daughter she borrows ballroom, and

ballroom The peerless herself was an
elderly lady who never attended
dances, but she generally complied
with the requests of her friends, who
had smart little houses lacking IN
space.
Each season about dozen large
dances were held at her mansion.
Last summer, however, one borrower
went too far; she did not play the
game, and she had all the bills for the
ball directed to the peerless, who paid
them, but has never lent her house to
any one since.
Queen Mary, who is very much IN
touch with all current social life,
knows of the existence of the borrow

reer. Women whose means do not
allow them to meet their social obl1-
cations without taxing the good ma
ture of their friends will not be en-
couraged to enter the court circle
no matter how good their pedigree.

Dogs Gold Teeth Glisten
open-Face Construction In CANNES

In indianapolis.

Indianapolis.-An English bulldog
with gold teeth sat in an automobile
in Washington street, near Illinois,
the other day, and attracted consid-
cradle attention. By reason of the
open-face construction peculiar to the
English bulldog, one gold fang was
especially prominent, and fairly glis-
tened in the sunlight There was other
wealth in the dogs mouth besides the
prominent gold fang, for she had four
back teeth of the valuable metal.
Despite these adornments, however,
the dog was not at all proud, but
looked about in a casual way as though
mildly interested in the people who
were keenly interested in her And
her name was Biddy, Just plain Biddy
