REFORMS WILL Be
Of RADICAL NATURE
Athletic Clubs Cannot Have
College Athletes For
Members

New York. Nov. 16.-Reforms Of a
radical nature in the policy and con-
stitution Of the Amateur Athletic
union will be proposed at the annual
meeting in New York November 90.
Further conservation Of the amateur
spirit and character Of the athletics
eostered by the A. A. U. is the goal
lined at In the proposed reforms. and
he athlete whose services practically
re bought, by means of inducements
which are Of the same moral effect
rs fees. Is aimed at, according to Of
:icials of the union.
Two rules. In particular. will be
proposed. One will provide that an
athlete who leaves a club affiliated
With the A. A. U. must remain unat-
:ached for two years before he will
be eligible to membership in a differ
ent club.
The second provides that no stu.
dent In q college o. university. either
as an undergraduate or postgraduate,
may belong to an athletic club other
han that Of his own college.
The object Of the proposed chang
es." said an officer In the union who
is interested In the reforms suggested,
lis to remove the scandal threatening
the Amateur Athletic union every now
and then. There Is no denying that
when a small club developes a good
athlete there is a rush by the big and
wealthy organizations to take him
away from the club"

TIGERS PECULIAR
GOAL DISCUSSED

The peculiar way In which Prince

1t a 3 to 0 victory over Dartmouth
has caused much discussion among
football authorities. ~
Parke II. Davis. P%rinceton's repre-
tentative upon the intercollegiate foot
ball rules committee. and a spectator
Of the game, explains the situation
thus:
THE facts underlying Princeton's
goal from the field are as follows: The
kick was low. the ball passing just
above the heads Of the Dartmouth
players and striking the ground on
the twenty-five yard line. The ball
bounded toward the goal line, but on
the second or third bound abruptly
rose high In the air and passed owe"

goal in favor Of Princeton.

OPEN PLAY FOR MARooNs.

Chicago. Nov. 16.-Coach Stage gave
his University Of Chicago football
PLAYERS another strenuous workout
Wednesday. bracing the efforts Of the
line. teaching the forwards the intri-
cactes OF their positions, and speeding
up the wall in preparation for the
game with Cornell next Saturday.
The Chicago line will be consider
ably heavier in the Cornell contest
than at n time this year. scruby
has been used at guard for the last
two days practice and may start the
game with Cornell in that position.
The shifting of Scruby % guard will
probably mean using Gottlief at end.
In this way scruby will replace a
160.pound guard by one Weighing 1870
pounds while the end will be Allied

cipally on trick plays for a victory
over Cornell as the Chicago line has
not shown itself sufficiently strong to
warrant any dependence being placed
on It for line piunges.
Freshmen used Cornell plays against
Chicago's eleven in todav's practice.
but the regulars had little difficulty in
stopping the freshmen.

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS OF
ALL SORTS
NO SCANDAL EITHER.

While there was not the popular in
terest in the Pirate-Detroit worlds
series games that there was to tho re.
cent one between the Athletics and
the Giants. there was also not tho
ticket scandal attached to it. You
could make all the plans from here
to Frisco and back and unless men
were honest there will he ticket specu-
lation. The national commission is
determined to probe the scandal con-
nected with the last series. and to
adopt measures to prevent any further
collision between the %pasteboard VEN
ders and the men employed by the
baseball magnates. The solution of the
problem will be far more interesting
and intricate. I dare say, than trying
to nail any n person as responsible
for the fiasco.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Nov. ls.-The
stiff practice and scrimmage Wednes-
day afternoon and the hard grind of
signal work is expected to be the last
program Of its kind for the Michigan
football squad in preparation for Sat
urday's game with Pennsylvania.
Fearing possible injuries and anxious
to use several convalescing stars. Yost
Is no inclined to order another scrim-
mage.
It now seems certain that both Nc
Eltllan and Craig will be in against
Pennsylvania and the return Of the
star quarter and speedy halfback adds
greatly to Michigan's offensive
strength.
Fearing that a soggy field would
give the eastern eleven a strong adj
vantage. Yost today directed that the
gTtdiron be swept OF snow and cov.
cred with shavtnss until Saturday. As
a team Michigan Is heavier than
Pennsylvania.
