new PLAN FOR
THE Big EIGHT
SUGGESTED THAT EACH SCHOOL
HAVE TWO REPRESENTA-.
TIvEs INSTEAD OF
ONLY ONE.

Chicago. ILL.,. March ia change in
the matter of representation in the
big Eight" conference is imminent as
result OF the objections of the Uni
vcrsity OF Illinois to Coach Stage
membership among the representa-
tives. The matter will be discussed at
the meeting Of the university presi-
dents March 10 and 20
Among the solutions proposed is that
Of a doublc representation from each
college composed of one academic
member and one strictly athlete ex-
pert. This plan is expected TO satisfy
both Illinois and Indiana. who have
long been "peeved" at the presence Of
Athletic Directors Stagg OF Chicago
and Ehler of Wisconsin. among the
| representatives.
Coach Page and John Dnsmore of
the University of Chicago look favor
ably toward the plan, Pages only OBJ
lection being that the academic repre-
sentative members are seldom sufii-
lciently versed in athletic matters to
solve the problems OF the conference.
Should the plan of double representa-
ton go into effect Directors Williams
of Minnesota, Hun of Illinois, Nicol OF
Purdue. Hammett Of Northwestern,
and Kellogg OF Iowa also would be list
ed among the conference representa-
tives.

Minnesota Daily. the official publica-
ton of the University OF Minnesota,
in it's issue today, joins with the Uni
versity of Illinois and the University
of Iowa papers in their attack on the
big eight conference The Daily says
in part:
"The conference has demonstrated
its inability 10 satisfy the demands of
the situation. The miserable make
shift that has been substituted FOR
rule on eligibility is an evasion of the
spirit OF the association.
There is surely nothing i'm the con
ference that should demand a. senti
mental adherence from its members.
II is merely an organization for the
purpose of improving conditions When
il fails in this. the colleges which COM
pose il, or those which suffer from its
impotence should look another way
for remedy"
Y. Of M. Is Pleased.
Ann Arbor. Mich, March l6.--Michi-
gan students are taking o warm inter-
est in the conference attitude
suddenly assumed by the University
Of Illinois. Illinois was once Michi-
gan's strongest baseball rival 1lli-
nois realizes this as much as anyone.
and her students want Michigan back
ON her schedules. incidentally they
resent the recent summer ball enact
nicnt OF the conference as unsatis-
Factory. and are entirely against the
attitude taken by the conference in
regard to Huff. the Illinois coach who
is professional scout for the chica-
20 Cubs.
The petition which Illinois will pre-
sent to the conference is the result of
these things. and this time Illinois
at least means business when she
threatens TO withdraw from the con-
ference. While Michigan students feel
that they should not wish the Stagg
organization any hard luck. still they
wouldn't be av,rsc to seeing Illinois
on the Michigan basC5Gr s---~l le
again.

REQUESTED
ASSISTANT
TO resign
FROM POSITION NOW HELD
Claimed He is Not in Sympa-
thy With Administration

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-Sec-
rotary MacVeagh today asked for the
resignation of Gideon C. Bantz, as
assistant treasurer of the United
States, because he is said not to be
/ in sympathy with the administrative
policy of the secretary of the treas
ury. Mr.. Bantz will be succeeded by
Christian S. Pearce, chief of the di-
vision of banks, loans and postal
savings.
The resignation of Mr.. Bantz fol-
lowing so closely that of Treasurer
Lee McClung, is admittedly part of n
plan for reorganization of the treas
urer's office by Secretary MacVeagh.
The secretary today declared he in
tended to leave the treasurer's office
in an up-to-date, progressive condi-
ton, for the incoming democratic ad-
ministration.
No further changes are contem-
plated, it is stated, the resignation of
Mr.. Bantz and the filling of existing
vacancies completing the program
Secretary MacVeagh stated today
that he had instituted methods for the
improvement of the office of treas
urer.
q intend placing men in charge,
said the secretary, who are in sym
pathy with my policy so that there
will be no likelihood of a reaction to
the old methods when l leave office,
compelling my successor of the sec
rotary of the treasury to spend his
term going over the ground l have
covered"
Mr. Bantz, native of Baltimore,
became assistant treasurer in 1908,
having previously been assistant cash
Ter of the treasury. His successor,
Mr.. Pearce, is from Nashville Tenn,
and has been connected with the
treasury since the first administra-
ton of President Cleveland.
