G0PHERS MAY
QUIT BIG EIGHT
Minnesota Ahame Over Re-
fusal to Adopt the Eligi-

St: Paul. Mimi. April 10.-The Uni

university cleaves to the Big Eight;
the intercollegiate baseball and foot

The Minnesota Daily printed an edi-

relations With the big eight and will
start a ballot among the undergradu.

at the meeting of the athletic board

AIumni Sentiment Favors Quitting.
r. 3. Johnson, secretary of the
General Alumni association, stated
last night that it was up to the uni
versity to quit the conference and
said that the talk of trying out the
amateur system with more strict en-
forcement of the rules was all rot.
A prominent member OF the ath-
letfc board of control stated that IL
Minnesota adheres to the conference
rulings and the athletes obey them
that it will be necessary to cancel the
intercollegiate baseball schedule. II
this is done, he said. the football
schedule for next fall might also be
abolished.

CAN'T BE YELLOW
AND PLAY BIG BALL

"a nan cannot lack nerve or. i'm the
r%arlance of the stands. be yellow, and
participate In q worlds SERIES" de-
clares Hugh Jennings. IF a player
has a streak in him it will come out
during the league season. 1t will not
develop in the closing games of the
baseball year.
The fight for . pennant is greater
thar the fight for a worlds series. The
team that wins the worlds series is
not always the better one. The team
tfat wins a pcnna II, is always the best
n in its league.
There is always an element of luck
in a short series. Luck isn't a prom
inent factor in a league race.
1t has often heen said that Rubc
Maddell lost his nerve and would not
engage against New York when the
Giants battled tho Athletics in 1908.
l cannot believe that Waddell quit.
Waddell pitched too wonderful bali in
the American league to weaken
against the GiAnts when the baseball
world knew that McGraw's men were
weak against lcft-handed pitching.
Waddell Won a pcnnant for the Mack
men His failure to win a worlds
championship for them was not due to
a quality that could be strained"

TER CHANCE NOW

In commenting on the chances for
the minor Lacquer to break into the
big show today. as compared to for
mcr days. say a decade age. Fred
Clarke. the boss of the smoky city
aggregation, has this to say:
Looking back. and the time doesn't
seem so long ago, it is a wonder the
young ball player ever had a chance

hogged it all. In the old DAYS a
youngster, even if he possessed
ability. had to fight for tho right to
display his stock in trade. and he
travelled a rocky road all the time he
was with the team, until the veterans
finally condesccnded to allow him to
enter the select crowd"
Today things are different. With
the major league clubs employing
scouts who comb the brush in the
hope of discovering likely material tn

ment and encouragement is given tn.
