COACH SAYS .DRoP WISCONSIN, >
Rule Prohibiting the Playing of Sum-
mer Baseball Attacked.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 23.-An at
tack on the rule of the conference
which prohibits the playing of sum-
mer baseball and an argument that
Minnesota stay in the conference but
attempt to get Michigan to return,
was the sentiment of the speech of DR..
H L. Williams, coach of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota's football team at the
mass meeting of students here today.
President Vincent, who was scheduled
to speak. was unable to be present.
Dr. williams declared that the sum-
mer baseball rule was making many
perjurers and that if strictly obeyed,
many of the universities could have
no football teams.
DR. Williams in his address in con-
nection with the return to athletic re-
Iationship with Michigan, said
Another point which is thought adj
visabIe by a great many in the univer
sity is, for the present at least, to drop
Wisconsin from the schedule"

TO STOP PLAYER BROKERAGE.
Tom Chivington Sees Reform in Or
ganized Baseball.

Chicago. Nov. 23.-President Tom
Chivington of the American associa-
ton has returned to Chicago from the
San Antonio meeting of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
leagues with the prophecy that there
is to be a reform in the sport.
The player brokerage" system,
termed by Chivington the greatest evil
in baseball, is to be done away with.
He says the magnates in both the ma
jor and minor leagues are ready to
place a limit on the number of players
each club can hold under contract,
both during the winter and playing
seasons, and also to restrict the num-
Der of recruits each club may con-
tract for through draft and purchase.
The pressing need for such reform
has Impressed itself on the magnates
during the last five years, according to
Chivington, until now they are ready to
consider such limitations. Such con-
ditions were proposed several years
ago by President B. B. Johnson of
the American league, but were cried
down as being too radical.

BOSTON TEAM FOR SALE
Death of Russell VIII Put Doves on
Market Again.

New York, Nov. 23.-The death of
William Hepburn Russell. chief owner
of the Boston National league base
ball club, will probably throw the
Doves on the market once more, where
they have been off and on for two
years. Just what disposition was made
of the stock will not be known until
Mr.. TusselIs will is offered for pro-
bate. but friends declare that the heirs
will not care to assume the worries of
handling the team, more particularly
as it has not been strikingly success
full as an investment for two or three
seasons.
Mr.. Russell bought the Boston Ma
tionals Just before the season opened
last spring, in conjunction with Fred
Tenney, who held a minority interest
and who acted as manager. The team
started off fairly we'll, but soon struck
a bad streak and lost game after
game, finally winding up bad last
in the race for the pennant.
Mr. Russell made an effort to sell
his interest in the team toward the
close of the season, but the deal fell
through.

Only Mr.. Dolley, an hour later, voted
against tabling this resolution. 1t was

effort was made to secure adoption of

This is a light week in Kansas foot
ball because the Kansas conference
still countenaEces Thanksgiving day
games and most of the teams are rest
ing over this week in order to be in
good condition on Turkey day. 1t has
been well established that the team
which played the Saturday before
Thanksgiving did not play up to form
the following Thursday. Most of the
teams used to do it because of the
shortness of the schedules, but they now
prefer to cancel one of the big games.
Little hard practice can be INDUCED
Monday or even Tuesday after a Sat
rrday game and If the team is to play
Thursday, hard work can not be done
Wednesday on account Of the likelihood
of injuries.
Paramount and the Aggies, however,

giving, FairmOunt playing Southwestern
and the Aggies. the Oklahoma Farmers

beh ard games and will not cripple the
teams.
Paramount has lost to no ore this
season except the Aggies and are not
expected to be bothered by the light
Winfield team which barely edged
6 to victory over c ulgleY'S 'lish. Fair
mount plays Ottawa next Thursday.
The Oklah- ma A. & NJ. is an UNI
known quantity in these fields but is
not supposed to be in a class with the
Farmers of the Sunf1ower state. 1t is
not unlikely, however, that they VIII

The local collegians continue to snooZe
under the blanket of Oblivion this week
but are taking their daily practice and
trying to remember their previous ex-
pcrience for use on Turkey afternoon.
They have plenty of confidence and if
the Aggies get battered up enough to-
morrow, the Blue will have them on
the hip.
Cornhuskers Played Michigan.
History discIoses that the Cornhusk-
ers played Michigan back in 1905 and |
failed to win They did, however. hold
the Yost wolverines to no score in the
first half. In the second division Michi- |
gan ran w sc ard Nebraska continued
not to score. The Cornhuskers hope |
this season TO replay that first half and |
add another like it for the second.

OLD TINES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE.
There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful,
When humankind was pure of mind,
And speech and deeds were truth
full
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid
became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion.
There are no girls like the good
old girls
Against the world I'd stake EN-.
AS buxom and smart and clean of
heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin.
There are no boys like the good old
When we were boys together.
When the grass was sweet to the
brown bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather;
When pewee sang to the summer
dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip-poor
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
The love that mother gave us.
We are old, old men, yet we pine
again
For that precious grace-God save
us.
So we dream and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tenderer, fond
er,
AS those dear old dreams brings
soothing CLEANS
OF Heaven away off yonder. =.
