Will Discuss Conference.
The alumni Of the twin city have
invited the members of the athletic
board of control to attend Il dinner at
tn" university club in Minneapolis
Tuesday night. at which time the
questions Of Minnesota's future ath-
letic relations will be discussed from
every angle. A committee OF the ath-
letic board consisting of Bert Page
and George E'clden of the alumni and
Alan Mclean and Fred Tydeman OF
the student body has been appointed
TO receive all resolutions and commu-
nications from the students and alum
nj and 1t is expected that at the meet
ing Tuesday night that moro fiery SEN
ttment will be wrapped up in the me-
MORALS to the board than has ever
heen contained in the correspondence
of Il Standpat senator.
The board at that time will draw
some sort of Il statement to be submit
ted to the faculty council committees
as the expression of the student and
graduate feeling on the questions of
Michigan relations, summer baseball,
tho training table and possibly a
lcngthening OF the football schedule.
In connection with the agitation for
a renewal OF relations with Michigan
there appears a new arm on the uni
versity campus. Some one has doped
it out that Michigan and the foxy
Mr.. fost. arc using Minnesota AS Il
cats paw in the present conference
tangle. 1t is pointed out that Michi-
gan is merely assuming a desire to re-
new relations with Minnesota in order
to abolish the rule f%orbidding games
with non-confcrence teams on the part
Of conference elevens. 1t is said that
Michigan really wants to play Chicago
and not Minnesota and it is further
pointed out that the Wolverine insti-
tuition has never kept up relations in
Il friendly way with Minnesota. There
are some on the campus who believe
that Michigan would drop Minnesota
in preference to Chicago. and this be-
lief is prompting some of the students
to be a little wary about having Min
nesota sever relations with the con-
ference for the sake of going Back
to Michigan"
However. the above bear story is
not given general credence by the stu
dents who are almost unanimous in
their demands to see The GopherS
again pitted against the Wolverines.
Prof. Joseph NJ. Thomas. Il former
member of the Michigan faculty and
now at Minnesota. is OF the opinion
that In case the rule prohibiting UNI
mer baseball for money on he part
of football players Is abolished that
Michigan will not play against Mime
sofa. He points out that such men as
Craig on the Wolverine eleven who
is an amateur athlete and who may
wish to compete In the Olympic games
abroad would not play against the
Minnesota team In case its players
were admitted to summer baseball
playing. Prof. Thomas points out the
rules Of the Amateur Athletic union
would render n man a professional
who played In a professional contest
for which admission fees were ci,arg-
ed.
