In running Thorpe has sprinted 100

of Carlisle's feetest men in the dis

AGED HOBO FELL
UNDER WHEELS

Bismarck, N. D., April 16.-John
Roberts, aged IS years, lost his leg
while attempting to board No. z. He
fell under the wheels of the moving
train at Dawson and his left leg was
cut OFF about three inches below the
knee. The injured mar was brought
to a Bismarck hospital Saturday
night on No. 5 and the lacerated
member was amputated Monday aft
ernoon.
Roberts is in a critical condition,
due to loss of blood, the shock of the
accident and his extreme age. He
has not been in a condition to do
much talking. He says, however, that
he has no relatives in the world that
he knows of, but was hoping to
reach st. Louis, where he used to have
some friends. Conditions for his re-
covery from the accident are far from
encouraging.

TO STICK
WITH CONFERENCE

Madison, Wis, April 16.-The Uni
versity of Wisconsin will cheerfully
acquiesce in the conference boards
action disbarring its athletic director
from membership. Under the rule
adopted both Director Ehler of Wis
consin and Coach Stagg of Chicago
are ineligible to represent their insti-
tutions. Both are salaried members
of the faculty. This was ostensibIy
the c for the boards action. The
Wisconsin Athletic Bulletin, official
organ Of the athletic department,
says:
I'VE are not going to be childish
enough to threaten to leave the con-
ference unless we have our own way.
We believe firmly in the conference
and do not want to see it abandoned
under any circumstances. We realize
that it is practically impossible to get
all the universities to agree to one
line of action. We appreciate the me-
cessity Of compromise and we stand
ready to meet the other institutions
on any reasonable ground"
