HAS LONG SESSION
Will Send Two Representa-
tives to Conference Meet
ing at Denver,

The university athletic council met
Yesterday afternoon To discuss the attn
letcs of the remainder Of the term and
TO hear reports on the football season.
It was decided that in order TO obtain
the best possible representation in the
conference and to get what is Just that
two men should be sent 10 Denver this
Writer TO attend the annual meeting of
the Rocky Mountain conference. The
men who Will go for Utah arc Dr. j. f.
Merrill and Coach Fred Bennion. Or.
Merrill is the faculty head OF the ath-
letic council and the conferences rep
resentatve at the university and as
such has heretofore made the trip alone.
1t is he who always presents utan
eligibility lists TO the other schools and
who passes upon those of the other
schools for Utah.
The conference teams now have such
heavy schedules and play SO many games
that there is more trouble every year In
arranging the dates for the conference

to think that Utah has not even de

portance TO Utah as dong as they satisfy
the Colorado teams Such is not the
case. though. Utah plays some very i'm
portant games outside OF the confer
enee and has the opportunity of playing
MANY more il her schedule will permit
next fall
1t is for the purpose OF assisting in
the formation OF the schedule that Ben
MON will make the trip. Then. too, there
are some matters of importance pertain
TO be looked into and Bennion Will do
that. For instance. Coach Crowley of
Denver university has been accused OF
playing men against Utah who were not
eligible. This Is serious misdemeanor
and If the charge is proven may result
seriously for the Denver people, The
conference will try TO effect an amicable
settlement of the difficulty between
Boulder and Denver and get them on
friendly relations once more. -Four years
ago when Denver won the champion
alism and as Denver was at that time
unable 10 prove her innocence OF the
charge athletic relations between the
two schools were severed and have not
