.CQLLEGES WILL
DECIDE POLICIES
It's Expected Two Will Declare
& Minnesota Has Right To Play
Michigan.

~ CHICAGO, Dec. e3.-With represent
atives of the eight western conference
schools here today for the regular
meeting of the organization the CHIEF
interest conferred in the action expect
ed to be taken regarding the attitude
Minnesota should take toward Michi-
gan, considering the latter school Is
now out Of the conference.
A movement has long been on FOOT
looking toward compelling Minnesota
TO sever all athletic relations with
Che Michigan school. When the VOL
verines defeated Minnesota at foot
ball this fall the talk was again re-
vived and definite action is expected
today.
One or two colleges are expected TO
be ready to stand by Minnesota for
the Michigan schedule, on the grounds
that the Gophers have as much right
to meet Michigan under the confer
ence rules as has Illinois to meet syria
cuse or Chicago to meet Cornell. III
Is denied that there is any serious
hplit in the conference and the disa-
ereement is expected TO be settled
with but little difficulty.
Minnesota will probably he the
school picked to hold next years con-
ference track meet.

The Tigers are not overly stocked
with men available for trading pur-

change OF scene.
Mr.. Navin received post card from
