souri, Valley conferences In relation TO sum
mer base bail than IL was last year when

against permitting players. who indulEed
in summer base bail to participate in col
legiate contests
What the Cornhuskers dub as a half-
hearted step EDWARDS enforcing the rule and
another attempt to cunGiiiate the schools

apparent outcuma OF the Last business ses-
sion Of the conferences officials. The ruling
provides that all past offenders shall be
granted an immunity bath and forgiven
for their early SINS but in the future 40
one will be allowed to participate in sum-
mer base bail except with their home team
and only them when admission il not
charged to the games.
