BERNDT AGAINST
ONE SPORT RULE
Indiana Faculty Is Not in Favor
of Limiting Conference
Students.

Bloomington, Ind, Dec. 24.-Should
athletes in the schools of the big
Nine" be limited to participation in
one sport or should they be permitted
to make all the teams if possible?
According TO Athletic Director
Berndt of Indiana the largest number
of men possible should be encouraged
TO participate in athletics and for that
reason the vote of Indiana may be
cast against the proposed resolution
of George HUFF of Illinois which limit
ed athletes 10 one branch of sport. Mr..
Berndt says he thinks the idea of Civ
ing more students a chance to make
their varsity team a good one, but that
such a resolution, in his opinion,
would not obtain the desired end, and
that the result, would be merely in
ferior athletics in all branches of
sport.
Director Berndt said: at is not for
personal reasons that / take the stand
/ do. as it is very patent to any one
that Indiana would not be seriously
by such a rule, but a change
would, In my opinion, lower the value
Of the game from the spectators view
point. and this would seriously affect
the financial end of college athletics"
Texas university has asked for a
football date with Indiana but Berndt
says the team will not likely make the
long journey to the Lone Star state on
account of the heavy conference sched-
lle. Indiana will play Northwestern
here and will likely have the Wiscon-
sin game for the local field in case
he Badgers are playing next year.
For the benefit Of the Indianapolis
alumni the Ohio state game will be
played at Indianapolis Nov. Z.

WILLIAMS TO WE'D
INDIANA TEACHER
Cub Outfielder and Miss Veda
Perkins Were Married
This Afternoon.

Chicago, ILL.,. Dec. 24.-Fred "Cy'
Williams, outfielder on the Chicago
cubs, and Miss Veda Perkins of Good
land, Ind, were welded at the bride S
home this afternoon at 8 o'clock. Con
trary to the usual custom, it is not an
nounced here that "'Cy' is signing a
life contract"
Williams is a graduate of the Uni
versity of Notre Dame and an athlete
of note. During his college days he
was ranked among the best of west
ern hurdlers, while he shone equally
bright in basketball and other varsity
sports.
AS ball player he has drawn more
than the usual attention given to the
ordinary 'rookey' by his pinch hitting
ability. During the close of the 1913
schedule ICY" connected frequently
for extra base hits while playing a
regular garden roe.
The future Mrs Williams is an In
diana school teacher Williams home
address is "Goodland, Ind, care of Ed
Perkins" Miss Perkins has many
friends in Chicago. During the last
year she has visited here several
times.
When the nuptial Gordian is drawn
tight at the hoosier town delegation
of Notre Dame students will be on
the scene to congratulate the couple.
The students are members of a school
organization to which ICY" swore al
legiance in his "rah-rah" days.
1t was announced yesterday BY
Major George K. Hermann of the First
Regiment Athletic association that
Williams is no longer acting in the
capacity of track and basketball
coach at the armory. ICY" resigned
owing to the fact that he was unable
to devote as much time to the work
rs he thought necessary.

COLTS CLIMB TO
HEAD OF LEAGUE
Brews Drop Two to Klove's
Men-Hubers Swipe Double
Header from 2600's.

Somewhere in the city of Rock Is
land there can be found the bowling
scores of the Island City league. All
in figures is the story of last even
ing's games somewhere, but this morn
ing it was not to be found. The re-
suit is that the detail of the games
will not be appended as usual.
The dope was gathered from one of
the players this morning, and is to
the effect that the Brews dropped
two games to the Colts while the
Hubers swiped two contests from the
260O's.
There was some fight between the
Colt. and the Brews. The two con-
tests the Colts are credited with were
won only by a margin of six pins.
while the Hubers and 2600's did not
fight as close, yet the interest in the
contests was great.

TENER DEMANDS
FOR ORDER FIRST
Says 1t Is Up to Umpire to Stop
Rodwyism and Gives Idea of
Arbiter.

New York. Dec. 24.-Strict disci-
pline on the baseball field is enc OF
the things President John X. Tener
OF the National league viii demand OF
his umpires. according 70 his secre-
tar. David Leroy Reeves. with whom
he has discussed the umpire problem.
The only person who can preserve or
der on the ball field Is the umpire,
President Tener said. and he added
by way Of emphasis that in matters u
discretion and judgment. where the
umpire is not specifically guided by
rule. le should be supreme.
President Tener's idea OF what the
ideal arDiJer should be was expressed
rs follows:
Il do not wish 10 be understood as
meaning that an umpire should be a
.aw unto himself. that his manner
should be dicta;orial. his attitude AFRO
CANT. and mis- entire demeauor eyince
a self-satisfied air that would brook
no argument or intercession. Right
the contrary, think an umpire
should be conciliatOry but firm, posi-
tive but polite. quick but undemon-
strative. strict but reasonable"
Regarding the disciplining OF play
ers. the new president said that he
was opposed TO the general practice
employed in meeting out punishment
10 players for offenses committed on
the field. He said:
"One OF the cardinal principles OF
justice is that every man should have
an opportunity 70 be heard, 10 present
his side OF the case. II a player is
guilty OF the charges submitted by the
umpire and has no equitable or reas-
enable defense. the ends Of justice and
the morals of discipline can be served
just as we'll by suspending the player
three or four days after the violation
has occurred and all the evidence re-
ceiyed and investigated. as by an i'm
mediate suspension following the re-
port or the arbitrator
ITO my mind the club owner is real
~ the one who suffers most by a play
er's suspension. The players absence
weakens the team and in the end the
club owner is the real sufferer
There is no reason why ssIch cases
should not be considered in the most
lenient attitude possible and by all
means obtain the facts in the case
from both sides before the player Is
punished by suspension
