Wrestler Who Planned Fake
Bout Gets the Double Cross
"Verdant Capitalist" Who Wanted to Get Rlch
Quick Comes Out With Profit.

His adversary agreed and they
tugged and twisted as hard as in a
real bout. Suddenly the wrestler, VINO
was due TO win the next two bouts

TO lose was on the offensive at the
time, but he did not dream that ms
pal would double cross him, so he
throw him. This gave the fellow the
chance he wanted and he placed hls
shoulders squarely on the mat. Be-
fore the wrestler who was due to lose
knew what was happening the referee
slapped him on the back and pro-
claimed him the winner.
A dozen or more of the victor g
friendh had been able to get small
wagers that he would lose. Now they

not have time to wait for an explana.
ton, but ran out in his wrestling togs
and had his handler bring bis street
carb, which he donned while concealed
behind billboard.
When he had sent envoys to explain
TO his friends how the other wrestler
had thrown the match, the unhappy
victor veutured out. Almost the first
had ''laid down. and the "verdant

his capital. Sadly it dawned on the
athlete that the capitalist bad been

cordiug to a modified ruling adopted
by the delegates to the college confer

The ruling was advocated by Pro-
fessor Paige of Minnesota, Professor
Smith of lowa and Secretary Ehler of

that students may join iu games with
clubs which include paid players pro.
vidiug they themselves are not paid
Some Of the college athletes see in
the ruling, more than half compromise

which has attracted attention.
The conference reatirmed the rule
which prohibits students taking part
10 athletics of any kind as representa-.

tIon or during the college term.
The rule which heretofore compelled
athletes to secure permits before they
would be allowed to compete in anna

unnecessary 10 secure permits in the
future, but the competing athletes must
submit records showing they received
no pay. or gifts for their services.
a rul le was adopted prohibiting ath.
