Training Camps.

Chicago. Sept. 21.-Although. most
Of the big football teams in the coun-
try have been in training for several
days, the elevens representing the
Big Nine did not take their first off,
cial practice until yesterday. AS a re-
suit Of the rule which was adopted
in the winter Of 1905-06 by faculty
representatives none Of the teams in
the western conference cat start prac-
tice in organized squads until Sep

AS a result, home contests will be
played in three big cities. Chicago.
Minneapolis and Columbus. the in
habitants of which are inclined to-
ward football and attend in large
numbers.
AS most of the conference elevens
have at least four games scheduled
with other members of the organiza-
ton. it is likely to be an Easy matter
to determine the strongest eleven at
the end of the season. Indiana and
Minnesota will be the first to get into
action. The Hoosiers will play their
initial game with De PAW at Bloom
ington on September %. while the
Gophers will give battle to South Da-
kota at Minneapolis on the same day.
The other conference elevens have
postponed their openings until Octo-
Der S, as the coaches have decided
it will be better to have teams par
TALLY drilled in all the rundiments Of
the game before contests are played
with elevens which have had at least
two weeks start in preparation.
Following the old custom. nothing
will be attempted Of a rough nature
for the first week. The majority Of
the candidates have been in light
training for at least two weeks. but
they are not In shape to stand the
practice which features midseason.
